breaking right now at 5:00, a late-night ride share turns deadly on an east bay freeway. the tragic hit and run, and the search for not one, but two cars. remembering a beloved former first lady. a look back at rosalynn carter's legacy.

also, a possible pause in the middle east. the latest on the deal to release hostages held by hamas. this is "today in the bay." good monday morning to you. hope you're coming off a great weekend. 5:00 right now. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we'll get a look at that commute coming up in a bit, but first let's start off with the forecast. that monday morning forecast. >> monday morning, and it's going to be a busy week. the holiday is fast approaching, and at least the weather is calming down. we are starting out with gusty winds this morning. a wind advisory in effect for our higher elevations. that continues for the next four hours. but it was so windy yesterday, and we're still seeing the impacts of the system that moved through over the weekend now starting to move away. but we are going to see those winds still at 6:00 in the morning in napa, up to about 36 miles per hour. and for a lot of our valleys it's not as windy. this is mostly the hills and

mountains that are seeing high wind gusts that are blowing off the coasts. we'll eventually see the wind calming down as we go throughout the day. and as far as the weather, we're looking nice and all clear this morning, after all of the weekend rain, and our temperatures today headed mostly into the 60s. mike, you've got a couple of things you're tracking. apec is clear, the security zones, closures, they've all reopened. we're back to normal in san francisco. we do have in the east bay over here, getting onto 880, just before our show started i got word from chp they did reopen the davis on-ramp to southbound 880 that had been closed for about 45 minutes because of a crash. so that should be completely normal by the time you get back there. the rest of the bay shows a smooth flow of traffic. there's a little blip eastbound 580 approaching the dublin interchange. i think it's a crew. i'll double-check to make sure that's what's going on. breaking overnight, the chp

looking for two separate drivers involved in a crash which resulted in the death of a passenger who was just looking for help in oakland. >> "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez joining us from the newsroom. this really sounds like a bizarre sequence of events. what happened? >> reporter: good morning to you. so this person who died was involved in two separate crashes and wasn't even the person behind the wheel. this is what chp told us. the victim was the passenger in a zip car that was involved in a crash on state route 13 near lincoln avenue in oakland with another driver who fled the scene. the zip car was stalled on the roadway, so the passenger got out to try to flag down some help. that passenger was then hit by a different driver. the person died at the scene, and now the chp is looking for the driver who fled the scene. the driver of the zip car was not injured. state route 13 was closed for about two hours for that investigation. the roadway is now open again. now, at this point the chp has not released a description of

either of the vehicles involved in this crash, but if and when they do, we will pass it along to you in case you can help. >> tragic story. kris, thank you. remembering the life and legacy of rosalynn carter, the former first lady died yesterday at the age of 96. >> across the nation, people are reflecting on her impact, and that includes communities she touched right here in the bay area. "today in the bay"'s brie jackson is live in washington. she really helped bring certain causes into the public spotlight. >> reporter: that's right. good morning, laura, marcus. so rosalynn carter was jimmy carter's partner, best friend, and closest adviser, in and out of the white house for more than three-quarters of a century. soft spoken, politically savvy and fiercely determined, she was known as the steel magnolia, born in plains, georgia, she married her husband, then a

peanut farmer, in 1946 when she was just 18. the small town girl from a poor family thrived on the national stage when carter won the presidency. she was front and center from the start, attending cabinet meetings, leading policy issues like mental health, testifying before congress, and taking high-profile trips abroad. carter lost to ronald reagan in 1980, and jimmy and rosalynn devoted themselves to national rights, diplomacy, and habitat for humanity. that allowed her to ren nature and build new homes in oakland. among some of the 4,400 she and jimmy carter built in their lifetime. she was no stranger to rolling up her sleeves and getting to work. >> she was toe-to-toe with the president, working alongside him, hammering, sawing, using a

chop saw. i don't know how many former first ladies use a chop saw. but mrs. carter did. >> reporter: a ceremony celebrating the former first lady's life begins next week, a week from today. tributes begin with a wreath laying at georgia southwestern state university, then she will lie in repose at jimmy carter presidential library in atlanta. a week from tomorrow, there will be a carter center departure ceremony and tribute service, and her funeral service will be held on wednesday, november 29th, in plains, georgia. when president carter was asked about his greatest accomplishment, he did not say becoming president, he did not say it was his nobel prize, he said his greatest accomplishment was marrying rosalynn. >> they had a remarkable love. great story. thank you so much. the "today" show will take a look back at her life and the tributes that have been pouring

in overnight. it's coming up at 7:00 right after "today in the bay." a live look this morning from southern israel toward gaza strip, and negotiators appear to be closing in on a deal to free some of the hostages now being held by hamas fighters. in exchange, israel would agree to pause fighting. the u.s. is taking part in those talks. the white house insists things are still in the early stages, and hopes that a deal may come through. but any agreement will likely not deter efforts by u.s. lawmakers to approve funding for israel and ukraine before christmas. >> the singular best way to protect the people living in the gaza strip is the destruction and annihilation of hamas. >> i would be loathe to impose conditions that would in effect straightjacket or handcuff the idf in this very, very,

excruciatingly difficult challenge. >> at this point, most believe israel's war on hamas may drag out for weeks, if not months. but president biden already among those pushing for a two-state solution. a somber gathering for loved ones who have died in traffic accidents. mourners gathered last night or a vigil on the steps of san francisco city hall. remembrance for traffic victims and included laying 300 yellow flowers on the city hall steps to represent the nearly 300 people who have died since 2014 in traffic related deaths in san francisco. that was the first year the city committed to vision zero with a goal of eliminating traffic deaths and severe injuries. one local, whose mother was severely injured by a speeding driver 12 years ago, believes the city has more to do. >> what hasn't changed is our streets are still killing people every single day, or severely injuring people. >> advocates are hopeful that a new state law taking effect next year, it will allow for cities

to implement speed enforcement cameras, but they also believe more is needed to protect those who walk, bike and take transit. 5:08 this morning. taking a live look at sfo, and a lot of folks getting ready to start their holiday travel this week. for a look at how the weather is going to shape up, meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that. how is it looking across the country? >> you're going to be packing your bags soon and heading out, just a heads-up that we are seeing a lot of showers and thunderstorms all the way from minneapolis, all the way down to texas. this storm system is going to be pushing off to the east. those are a look at the high temperatures, so we are feeling some of the mildest weather across the country, with some 60s and 70s here. it's a lot of 30s and 40s for a lot of spots as you head off toward the north and east. as far as delays right now, everything is on time. but, of course, it is early in the day. we'll be watching dallas and some of those areas that are going to be dealing with the storms. everything is looking good as

you're heading out this morning around the bay area. and a look at our temperatures in san francisco, starting out in the mid-50s, we have a lot of sunshine in today's forecast. we are headed for the mid-60s, which is about normal for this time of year. we'll take a look at what's ahead for the rest of the week. mike has a look at what to expect if you're hitting the road. >> you've got to get the gas to make sure you can get to the end of your drive. san jose, the south bay's cheapest right now, $4.03 at costco at automation parkway. contra costa county, looking at brentwood with $4.37 at mobil on brentwood boulevard. and larkspur has $4.49 on magnolia avenue. reported all along the bay, gasbuddy.com. the morning commute should be easier this week, at least in the early morning. midday will get a little tougher. right now a mild build out of the altamont pass.

vasco, no delays through contra costa county. that should be marked as walnut creek, 680 southbound heading to the split. no problem, but we do have a good amount of traffic. back to you. black friday shopping is back with a bang. still ahead, the amount of money shoppers are expected to shell out this weekend and the growing amount who think they'll be able to stick to those budgets. if you're planning your thanksgiving menu, maybe plan to make a

good monday morning to you. the time is 5:13. we head over to livermore with a look at our day planner. starting out cool with a lot of sunshine. it's going to be a windy morning. as we go throughout the day, our wind calms down and temperatures stay on the cool side. we'll get a look at our microclimates and talk about our thanksgiving week in a few minutes. there's a wind advisory for some of the bridges, dumbarton, probably san mateo as well. the camera may have shifted. the traffic across 92 is moving smoothly. we'll track it all, and with kari's help, the weather as well. well, good morning. very happy monday to you. short workweek for almost every tech company, short week for wall street as well. but still lots to talk about. sam altman is out at openai, we're going to talk a lot more about that at 5:30. the head of cruise automation

resigned after the autonomous car company lost its permits to drive on california roads without a driver. disney, one of the many companies to announce it is once again pulling advertising from x, the old twitter. comcast, the parent company of this tv station, apple, paramount, have all joined in. they are not going to advertise on x. musk promising a, quote, thermo nuclear lawsuit against media matters, which has been raising the issue of musk's behavior online that led to the advertising boycott. he says, quote, the split second the courts are open this morning, x will file that lawsuit. courts in washington open in 15 minutes. x says media matters gamed its system as it looked for anti-semitism, that it started a new account following objectionable posters and used that to prove advertisers are appearing right next to really horrible, racist, anti-semitic

objectionable stuff. but, really, that all just proves media matters' point. media matters saying, quote, musk is a bully who threatens meritless lawsuits in an attempt to silence reporting that even he confirmed is accurate. musk admitted the ads at issue ran alongside pro-nazi content we identified. if he does sue us, we'll win. now, musk denying accusations he's an anti-semite, posting about bogus media stories claiming i'm anti-semitic, nothing could be further from the truth. now, the media has gotten a lot tougher on musk sans he made this post. most went from many people thought the post was anti-semitic to the post was anti-semitic. how about a totally different subject, and a happier one? ozempic is once again making the news with many thanksgiving hosts and hostesses wondering if they need to make less food. bloomberg this morning

predicting smaller plates at thanksgiving. you eat until you're crazy full, but you'll be crazy full after one bite. >> smaller plates, thanksgiving, doesn't sound right. >> it doesn't, does it? >> i'm already planning turkey potpie, the works. >> leftovers for monday. >> you've got it. get your wallets ready, because thanksgiving is over, and then what comes? black friday. just a few days away. and this year shoppers are excited to spend big, according to deloitte's annual holiday survey. consumers plan to spend on average $567 during black friday and cyber monday. that's up about 13% from last year. 84% of shoppers are confident that they will stick within their budgets, and it all has to do with finding those black friday and cyber monday deals. almost half of the people in the survey say that they are expecting to finish their

holiday shopping this week. and as we approach the thanksgiving holiday, nbc bay area and telemundo 48 teaming up with safeway to make sure everyone in the bay area has a holiday meal. >> we already kicked off things for our 14th annual nourishing neighbors campaign in a big way. over the weekend, laura and i stopped at the rivermark in san jose. people come every year. that's suzy and her daughter. kari, mike, and kris sanchez kicked things off throughout the bay area. a wonderful time to meet people in the community and for people to come back and donate. since saturday morning, nearly $291,000 has been raised for families right here in the bay area. scott mcgrew there. so many people doing what they can to help out. if you would like to help us with our nourishing neighbors campaign, you can visit any local safeway across the bay area, 160 plus out there. you can donate at the register. the campaign runs through christmas day. so you have time to do it. we know, most likely, you'll

be headed to a bay area safeway store, too, for those last-minute things. >> several times sometimes. >> trust me. >> exactly. when the checker is, like, wow, you're here again, laura? yes, i am. many mouths to feed. so a lot of people are traveling this week as well. we're hoping for good weather. >> it looks so nice this week. quieting down. no big storms headed our way. we do have some good conditions out there. it's still pretty windy as you're heading out, although most of us in the valleys are not feeling it as much. some of our top wind gusts in some of the upper elevations topped 40 to 50 miles per hour. take a look at mount st. helena, 47 mile gusts yesterday morning, mount umunhum had 48 miles per hour, 52 in mount tam and 42 miles per hour at mount hamilton. we're still breezy this morning, but, also, where we do have the lighter wind, the temperature is

dropping. in oakland, it is 45 degrees, but still a little breezy around san jose. so the temperatures in the mid-50s. we're also seeing low 40s in santa rosa. but still pretty gusty in napa and sonoma. it's in the upper 50s there. as we go into the afternoon, the wind calms down, our temperatures reach into the mid to upper 60s. we'll see about the same thing tomorrow, just slightly warmer for some of our inland areas like san martin headed for 77, and san francisco will be in the upper 60s. on wednesday we're looking at, once again, a repeat of this weather pattern that's about normal. going toward the middle of the week, we are going to see a weak storm system that may bring just the north bay some light showers. but that's early on thanksgiving morning. after that, it clears out, and the rest of the week it is dry. so no major issues expected. once again, watching the north bay for those thanksgiving showers, but we are looking for a high of 73 degrees, and then cooler behind that system as the cool air settles in.

we'll have chilly weather for the weekend into early next week. take a look at our seven-day forecast. once again, heading toward thanksgiving, we are going to see our temperatures in the 60s and 70s. no major changes over the next few days. a lot of sunshine icons there. we will see an increase in cloudiness between tuesday and wednesday. slight rain chance in the north bay on thanksgiving. then sunny for the weekend as we kick off the thanksgiving holiday shopping. mike, you're saying that, so far, the commute looks pretty smooth. >> green sensors dominate the map. there's the note about the wind you're talking about. chp noted that across some of the bridges like the bay bridge, the east-to-west bridges. i saw slowing eastbound highway 4 around a construction zone that was typical. we do see the sensors clearing quickly. it might have been crews going through the area. there's a roadside fire 242 southbound around concord on the opposite side of the road from the freeway. so far, nothing else has been

reported in the area. we'll continue to track that. contra costa county does move very nicely, very smooth drive, with just a little slowing showing up. out of the altamont pass, that's grant line road, there's a small crash. i'm monitoring that. there is a build coming out of the altamont pass, so we do have a commute and today might be the biggest commute of the week, perhaps. folks trying to get into the office, do business, and then perhaps get out tuesday or wednesday. i know thanksgiving is thursday, but some folks get as many days as they can. back to you. >> yeah, good for them. that's great. thanks, mike. 5:22 right now. and next here on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> a family trip to sail the south pacific is all set, until their airline changes its mind. their airline changes its mind. i'm consumer inves

nbc bay area responds to a peninsula family whose flight plans cost a couple thousand more than they expected. >> we found an important lesson for all holiday travelers. here is consumer investigator chris chmura. >> good monday morning. whenever you're flying, check your itinerary early and often for changes. airlines modify their schedules regularly, changing flight times, dates and even airports. that's what the australian airline did to bob.

he booked his family to fly to sydney for a cruise, five months before hand, a big change. >> so they were going to fly out of los angeles instead and the email said that they would use a partner airline to provide transportation. >> transportation to l.a. to catch that new flight. but that didn't happen. so last minute, bob spent $2,000 in airline miles to catch a flight from l.a.x. bob asked for reimbursement. qantas declined. we contacted them and they said they made a booking error and sent bob $1,165. check your flights after you book, see what's changed and take action. if your plans get turbulent, contact us. snap the qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form online. we've whipped up for tips or holiday travelers, including your ticket to beat delays and track lost luggage.

but we need an atm from our bank unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees. uh, no, thank you. banking with us means more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined. well, that would be convenient but there is no b-m-o here. ah, you can just call us bee-mo, and there is now. you know what else is convenient? mobile banking that makes it easy to track your goals and manage your money get out of town. but we... just got here. when a bank helps you get and stay ahead.

right now at 5:30, holiday travel taking off. here is a live look at the oakland airport. just one of the many airports now preparing for waves of people to pass through ahead of thanksgiving. ahead, the most important tips to keep in mind, whether you're planning to fly or hit the road. and a very chaotic weekend for the nation's top ai company, as it fires and then apparently tries to rehire its ceo. also, a new short-term housing option heading to the south bay. the new project organizers promise will set itself apart from other shelters. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you on this monday. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. let's start out with a look at

the forecast. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. should be dry this week? >> it will be dry, but we're starting out windy this morning. those gusts are still kicking up for a lot of our hills and mountains around the bay area. we do have a wind advise that will be in effect through 9:00, and then after that the wind gradually starts to calm down. still pretty gusty this morning, especially in the north bay, where we're seeing in napa wind gusts at 36 miles. in concord, 20-mile-per-hour gusts. we're not feeling it as much in a lot of the valleys, but we're still going to be breezy and watching those hills through the early morning hours. then the rest of the day the wind gradually starts to come down, and our temperatures heading up. so we'll reach into the mid to upper 60s today, a bit on the cool side. you will want to keep that jacket on. but overall a nice day ahead. mike, you were checking out the earlier commute in dublin. >> we see a good stream of cars. i thought all week was going to be a little lighter or a lot

lighter. good volume over here for west 580, coming out of the altamont pass, i do see slowing, a little more than i thought there might be. vasco does show slowing, only 19 minutes from marsh creek down to 580. sometimes the early commute hits a little hard and then clears up. we'll watch to make sure things are continuing light around the rest of the bay. it looks like a smooth drive south bay, peninsula, across the bays. the biggest issue would be wind right now. westbound highway 4 does show a build and so does highway 37. we'll track the volume. no major issues across the bay bridge. it looks nice and clear so far. speaking of traveling, happening now, millions of americans hitting the roads and taking to the skies for thanksgiving holiday. "today in the bay"'s bob redell is joining us live from oakland international airport. bob, they're expecting more travelers than we've seen in about two decades? >> reporter: correct. good morning to you, marcus. we're here at oakland international and you can see

why during the thanksgiving holiday or any holiday season you want to show up early for your flight. this is the line for security that wraps around baggage claim. you can see it goes all the way down the hall to tsa screening. it does seem to be moving, but, again, you do want to give yourself extra time. as you mentioned, aa predicts that when it comes to air travel, aaa predicts 4.7 million americans will fly this week. that's a 6.6% increase over last year. that is the highest number since 2005. you can credit cheaper airfares and fewer covid concerns for that increase, according to experts. now, this is video of oakland international yesterday, which you can see was a little bit busy, but not the busiest expected this week. this is a live look from sfo, today being monday, also not

expected to be the busiest day for travelers, though it looks like it at oakland international. aaa says tomorrow and wednesday are when most people fly and those are the most expensive when it comes to airfares and the most crowded. >> i'm a little stressed out because there's a lot of people here and i'm a nervous flyer, anyway. >> we heard that there would be significant delays, but it looks pretty smooth. it always keeps us well taken care of for our travels. >> reporter: speaking of southwest, you might recall last year around christmas, southwest airlines experienced a meltdown because of technical problems and bad winter weather. the airline had to cancel well over 16,000 flights over a period of a week and a half. southwest tells npr it is ready for this year's rush by investing in new equipment and upgrading other technologies. back out here live at oakland international, the departure

board, the nice thing is, there's no yellows and reds which indicates delays and cancellations. there's some yellows on the arrival side, but nothing significant. the good news is, right now everything looks great if you're trying to -- as far as oakland international is concerned, but leave yourself extra time because you're going to have long lines like these. reporting live at oakland international, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, bob. and be sure to tune in tonight at 5:30 right here on nbc bay area. consumer investigator chris chmura has pro tips for holiday travelers, including your ticket to beating delays and tracking lost luggage. jury deliberations continue for a bay area man accused in the grisly murder of his ex-girlfriend, who was the mother of his young daughter. prosecutors argued jose raphael solano landaeta used a system rooi sword to kill korean na

castro. prosecutors laid out a tense relationship between the pair, including numerous threats of violence. they also presented graphic photos of the murder scene. landaeta argued it was self-defense and that he's a paranoid schizophrenic. pittsburg city council will vote on a grant worth more than $37,000, which would go toward purchasing new cameras. pittsburg police department says the existing cameras have been helping deter crime. city council meeting starts at 7:00 tonight. the nation's leading ai company went through a crazy string of events over the weekend, firing a ceo, then replacing another, and then losing some of its top talent. scott mcgrew is here to walk us through all of this. it all started with sam altman getting fired. >> which was a gigantic

surprise. here is altman on video speaking at the apec conference, which was just a couple days earlier. openai's board dismissed altman, at first wouldn't give any details, only that he had lost the trust of the board. later the company would make it clear it wasn't anything like office behavior or fiscal mismanagement, but a giant surprise. one of openai's biggest investors is microsoft. apparently they only got a few minutes' warning before this happened. >> exactly. so the board appoints a new ceo, then they backtrack and change their mind, and then appoint a third interim ceo. >> in the middle of that, apparently thought about rehiring sam altman, so the takeaway on this is the absolute circus that this turned into over the weekend. whether or not they were right to fire him, they botched it one way or the other. the timeline based on our reporting and the reporting of "the new york times" and others, friday openai fires sam altman and appoints an interim ceo.

then the company reverses itself, asking altman to come back, changes its mind on the first interim ceo. appoints a third ceo emmett shear. they try to rehire altman, but he's been hired by microsoft instead. >> they had no say, it came so fast. despite the fact that microsoft has invested $13 billion. >> but doesn't have a seat on the board. that's crazy. $13 billion and you don't have a seat on the board. it's a tiny board, just four people. >> that's what i was surprised by. such a big deal but such a small board. >> there are going to be some finger-pointing at microsoft. and then the head of cruise automation is out as well, which is a remarkably different story. kyle vogt stepped down voluntarily. sam altman was fired. cruise technology didn't work, openai works really well.

general motors, which owns cruise, responded by getting rid of the ceo position. there will be no direct head of cruise. openai appointed not one, but two ceos in two days. we saw two go, but under very different conditions. >> we're going to need a chart to keep track. everybody is still talking about it this morning. thank you. >> thanks, laura and scott. well, more housing help is coming your way, for those in the most need in the south bay. last month, san jose leaders approved traditional housing development on a small lot at the corner of san ignacio. the developer is donating the site to the city for $1 a year over the next five years. a nonprofit will construct 75 sleeping units at the cost of about $50,000 per unit. organizers say the new community will provide shared laundry machines and kitchen areas and provide a more stable

alternative than shelters with large rooms and bunkbeds. >> interim supportive housing is a place where people can come from six months, to maybe as long as two years, where they can get stabilized and assess what their long-term plans are going to be. it's not a permanent solution. it's an interim place where people can be -- instead of being on the streets, they can get stabilized. >> work on the new development is expected to wrap in about a half a year, and even with donations from the developer and nonprofits, that project will still initially cost the city around $11 million. let's take a peek at downtown san jose, where the holiday spirit is certainly alive. look at that, already the tree is up. inspires you to do your own, i'm sure. tonight actually marks the official opening of downtown ice on south market street, after a

soft opening last friday. and this is not video from last year, because you may remember at that time it was turned into a roller skating rink. due to popular demand this year, the ice is back. and mike inouye is actually hosting tonight's ceremony. starts at 5:30. for tickets visit sjdowntownice.com. the rink is located between the museum of art and the signia by hilton. it will be a lot of fun. >> we're going to have a good time. bringing back the ice, and they'll have hot chocolate as well. >> those are fantastic. >> do they need to bundle up? >> absolutely. even though it's going to be clear this evening, it's going to be chilly. at least the wind will be calming down. it's not going to be as windy as this morning. at 8:00 we're in the low 50s, at noon we're seeing temperatures at 64 degrees.

we're headed for the upper 60s, but notice that right there at 6:00, we're already down to 60 degrees, so those temperatures will be dropping quickly. it's going to be a mild day with a high of about 68 degrees in fremont. hayward, as well as oakland. in novato, we're looking at a high of 69 degrees. it will be just slightly warmer tomorrow, especially in the inland valleys, as that sunshine continues. we do have a nice week ahead and we're going to see highs in the low 70s for san mateo and in mountain view, and 66 degrees in livermore for tomorrow afternoon. mike, you're seeing it slowing down out of the altamont. >> yes, sticking around. i thought maybe a lot of these folks might be getting to the airport. bob showed so much traffic. we're seeing that 580 slower drive and the crash still on the grid over on mountain house and grant line road. that will be an issue for folks trying to avoid the backup on the altamont. here there's a minor backup, minor slowing on highway 4. it kind of smoothed out over the

last ten minutes. same for highway 37, really focused as you cross over muir island. slowing here, we see building around golden gate fields and out of san pablo toward richmond. that may be an indication of volume coming toward the bay bridge. and there is slowing coming down the decline into san francisco. over here, this evening, this might mess with your traveling if you're traveling around the warriors game, or off 280 extension. they're closing the lower manzanita lot because of high tide, so keep that in mind if that's where you park and ride. a mysterious illness is sickening dogs across the nation. ahead on "today in the bay," the warning from veterinarians that all pet owners need to hear this morning. plus, brock purdy shines as the 49ers beat the buccaneers. the rating the second year

good monday morning. the time is 5:46. let's head to gilroy with a look at our day planner, starting out at 44 degrees. it's a chilly morning, and we're only making it into the mid-60s, but lots of sunshine as the wind calms down. we'll talk about the wind and what's ahead for your thanksgiving week coming up. walnut creek moving smoothly, but picking up the

volume and slowing heading from where these folks might be originating their traffic flow off of highway 4. this is 680 toward 24. that zone in contra costa county. we're watching changes and show you the latest coming up. 5:46 right now. veterinarians across the u.s. are urgently seeking to learn the mystery behind a potentially deadly respiratory illness affecting dogs. at least ten states, including california, are feeling the impact. vets say the illness typically starts as a cough that can last several weeks, and it may not respond to typical treatment like antibiotics. some dogs end up battling severe pneumonia as a result. some have died. experts fear cases will only spike heading into the holidays. >> where we're seeing these cases come from in our hospital are from dogs that have been at boarding facilities or doggie daycare, and with the holidays coming up, people being more inclined to board their dogs as they go on vacation, see family.

i am worried about it getting much worse. >> experts recommend reducing your dog's contact with a large number of unknown dogs. if you know that another dog is sick, make sure you keep your pet away. sick dogs should stay home and seek care. avoid communal water bowls and consulting your vet on vaccinations for your pet, so many proactive steps that pet owners can take. 5:47 right now. today is president biden's birthday. >> and scott mcgrew, for his friends and family it's all about celebrating. for his critics, it's all about those digits, his age. >> his age, 81. good morning to you. he's the oldest president of the united states ever. to be fair, he was the oldest president yesterday when he was just 80. the president's public schedule shows he has the turkey pardon today on his birthday. the turkeys are named liberty and bell. earlier this weekend the president and first lady and some turkeys who were not so lucky got together for dinner

with members of the u.s. military. new polling shows former president trump ahead of president biden in a nationwide survey. within the margin of error, but still worrisome for the biden campaign. when we show these nationwide polls, i remind all of us, that's not how we elect a president. it's not a popularity contest. if it were, hillary clinton and al gore would have been presidents. much more worrisome is this number for mr. biden. this is an approval rating for people 34 and under. many of those young people upset over the president's strong support of israel. young people telling pollsters they want the white house to be more even-handed in the conflict. now, the white house has been calling for pausing in the fight again israel and hamas terrorists to protect the palestinians that everyone is worried about. it's not as if those voters are going to turn to trump over the israel issue. trump is equally supportive of israel. i'm sure he would say the most supportive of israel.

where the two candidates disagree is ukraine. brand new picture into our newsroom of secretary of defense lloyd austin meeting with president zelenskyy in kyiv. president biden pushing congress to find more money for ukraine. you'll recall trump cut that funding off. that was the genesis of his first impeachment. it sounds as if a deal to release hostages snatched by hamas terrorists is close. senator richard blumenthal speaking on "meet the press," saying as much as he could. >> what gives you confidence that americans are likely involved? >> i have a high degree of confidence that americans will be involved. there are nine of them, and a green card holder, perhaps more. but americans' involvement will be an imperative i think for the president, rightly so. >> so clarify, blumenthal was talking about the american hostages, not necessarily american forces. of course everybody in washington and america are saying good-bye to rosalynn carter who passed away over the

weekend. i had the pleasure of meeting her at her church in plains. she was 96 when she passed away. there will be much more ahead on the "today" show. a funeral a week from wednesday. >> she will be missed. thank you. maybe it's a little too soon to make a joe montana comparison here, but the niners brock purdy just did something no niner quarterback has done in more than 30 years. the niners hosting buccaneers yesterday at levi's and everything was clicking on offense. purdy threw three touchdowns, including one long one to brandon aiyuk in the third quarter. the niners winning 27-14. purdy had a perfect quarterback rating, something last none by a 49er when joe montana did it in 1989. the niners cannot celebrate too long. they do head to seattle for a game on thanksgiving night. you can watch that right here on nbc bay area. it kicks off a little after 5:00 p.m. >> a lot of fun there. weather-wise, we're in for a

nice week. you were mentioning it's windy. >> it's still windy. we had that weather system move through over the weekend. now we're seeing high pressure coming in. when you have low pressure next to high pressure, it makes that air flow very quickly. and our hills are really getting the brunt of that this morning. so the wind advisory continues for all of these areas shaded in orange, up until 9:00. and some of those gusts still at about 20 to 30 miles per hour, maybe slightly higher. i think we are past some of the highest wind gusts. the storm system has moved off to the east. we're seeing high pressure move in and there's an area of low pressure off the coast that will continue to weaken. looking at yesterday evening, we had wind gusts at mount st. helena reaching 47 miles per hour, 40 to 50 miles per hour wind gusts, the highest at mount tam at 52 miles per hour. as the wind calms down, our temperatures will be dropping in brentwood. at 8:00 we're starting out at 51 degrees and reaching into the

lower 60s. we're headed for the mid to upper 60s all around the bay area, and then with sunshine tomorrow it's going to be beautiful. san jose reaching 73 degrees, and upper 60s across parts of the inland east bay into the north bay. as we go through the next several days, looking ahead to see what else is out there, the next storm system coming in will continue to weaken, but may bring in spotty showers to parts of the north bay on thanksgiving morning. then we go into a dry but cooler weekend, so our temperatures drop after that system moves through. and we'll see just a few spotty showers, but other than that, it's really dry throughout the week, and san francisco will continue to see highs in the 60s. mike, you're seeing the metering lights on at the bay bridge? >> yes, and i'm seeing the impact over the last five minutes, i've seen traffic start to stack up. nothing major, nothing unexpected. it's 5:53 now. typically turning on between 5:35 and 5:40. we're hearing about a minor

crash on 980 just off of 580. it may be a car fire. no injuries reported, but we're tracking that. highway 37 and highway 4 show traditional areas, but lighter slowing. back to you. >> thank you so much. happening now, teams are searching for a missing northern california hiker. the 66-year-old is a michigan-based travel nurse last seen eight days ago. she disappeared along the popular arnold rim trail. dozens of searchers have been looking for her since last wednesday after her car was found parked at the trail head, and there are fears she may lack wilderness survival skills. lily zhang is dominating on the east bay, while on the road to paris. still ahead, the message from the table tennis champ as she hopes to make a turn to the olympic games. ahead at 6:00, remembering a beloved former first lady.

over the weekend her team won a major league tennis table competition in pleasanton. zhang plays for the bay area blasters in the league's inaugural season. we know some of the team members will compete in the u.s. olympic trials. zhang will still have to earn her spot next spring. she went to her first games at 16 and she says it just pushed her to work harder so her team qualified. >> that moment just cemented this belief that i have, the ability and the capability to keep going and go for more and get better results. i'm hoping to one day be able to medal for team usa. >> now, lily was born in redwood city, she went to cal. she's ranked among the top 50 in the world. again, her team qualified, but the individuals have to qualify because the entire team is not able to go. >> she's just like this, and i'm playing all over the board. fascinating. >> we'll be watching. nbc bay area is your home for all things olympics. opening ceremonies begin july
