things stand in the effort to remove d.a. pamela price, 65% of voters say yes. she should be recalled. there are still too many ballots left to count, though, to make a definitive call. so the alameda county registrar of voters says his team is working hard to finish counting those ballots. everybody is very motivated to get as much done as quickly as possible. we know that there are some very high profile elections that people are watching, and we're just trying to get an accurate count and get those numbers out to the public as quickly as we can. and even though the count isn't complete yet, oakland mayor sheng thao is out after just two years in office. she has accepted the results of the recall against her. nbc bay area's alyssa goard explains what comes next for the town. reporter while there are still ballots to be counted, tao appears to be accepting that a recall is imminent. sharing in a statement late friday, quote, as the first hmong american woman to become mayor of a major american city, it has been the honor of my lifetime. she also says she plans to quote, support

a smooth transition. so what happens now? tao will not formally be removed until december, when the results are certified. then the city's charter says the council president, nikki fortunato bass, will take over as mayor. we've reached out to her office and are waiting to hear back. here's where things could get complicated. bass was also a candidate for the alameda county board of supervisors. the latest numbers show she's trailing behind her opponent with 46% of the vote in total. we have 334,000 votes posted. i'm expecting that's about halfway there. if bass wins, the oakland city council will have to elect a different council president. when bass leaves to sit on the board of supervisors. in the meantime, the registrar of voters says his team will be working all weekend and into next week, counting those remaining ballots. alyssa goard, nbc, bay area news. the count continues in santa clara county. election officials say there are

still about 190,000 ballots to count. staff were there until about an hour ago, processing those ballots, but the count was delayed for hours today because of this. a bomb threat forced evacuations at the santa clara county registrar of voters office. workers waited outside while law enforcement cleared those buildings and similar threats made in southern california as well, and also maryland. they turned out to be unfounded. nbc bay area's christie smith reports from san jose. yellow tape directed people away from the santa clara county registrar of voters office in san jose this morning after a bomb threat. we have over 100 workers inside, and these are all extra help county employees and also our permanent staff. and we just had to drop everything and made sure to evacuate the building as soon as possible and make make sure everything was like locked and secured. michael borja is with the santa clara county registrar of voters office. we're still out here waiting to go back in

because we have over 200,000 ballots left to count. yesterday evening, this threat was sent by email to the registrar of voters email inbox. it was not seen or opened until this morning. the santa clara sheriff's office says once workers saw the threatening email this morning, they contacted law enforcement, who quickly roped off the area and help came from neighboring agencies. we called in canine units immediately. we began an extensive search room by room floor by floor, searching for any sort of suspicious device. they say nothing suspicious was found, and after the sweep, the all clear was given. this incident comes less than a week after the election and after similar threats were made to voter registration offices in orange and riverside counties yesterday. it's really too early to know if this is tied to other threats that have been occurring across the state. one thing i will say is that leading up to election day, on election day,

and now post election day, we have been coordinating with our surrounding regional, state, federal partners. in a statement, the california secretary of state said in part, i am aware of bomb threats targeting our elections offices in california. these acts are unacceptable and will not deter us. we will always stand firm to keep our workers safe and ensure that every voice is heard and every vote is counted. back in san jose, workers were allowed back in the building around 1:00 and continued counting. we will be continuing to process ballots throughout the weekend and also on the holiday on monday, and we'll do whatever it takes to finish counting the ballots. christie smith, nbc, bay area news. turning now to weather. taking a live look across the bay area, we have enjoyed mostly clear skies today, but changes on the way. let's get right over to rob mayeda, who is tracking the r-word rain. yes, this time

single day. the oakland rally was part of a national day of action. similar events were held in other major u.s. cities. coming up, 49ers defensive end nick bosa hit with a big fine for a hat he wore on sunday night football. what he's saying about the penalty. plus, president biden and vice president elect trump to the white house. a look at the history behind the tradition and why it didn't happen four years ago. nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years.

on the coast. partly cloudy skies so the better part of the day looks a lot like today. until we head towards late afternoon and evening, we begin to see the clouds on the increase around the north bay, and that will lead to a chance of a few light showers late day from about sonoma county northward. morning temperatures starting off in the 40s and 50s and again like we had today around the south bay. tomorrow should see highs in the 70s. partly cloudy skies. san jose southward. similar temperatures around the tri-valley. but notice as we move to the coast and northward towards san francisco. upper 50s around half moon bay. low 60s in the san francisco and north bay. highs tomorrow. staying in the 60s as the clouds continue to thicken on up, leading to the chance of showers in the north bay late sunday evening. and that's your monday forecast. fast moving cold front there that will bring the rain into monday. this is what we're looking at late tomorrow evening into sunday night. the chance of a few showers in the north bay, then the rain should pick up mid morning to midday and that could

be pretty impressive. rain rates there midday on monday and then skies clear as we head towards the evening. so rain totals as we head into that monday forecast about a 10th of an inch. or as you see right there, possibly as much as a half inch of rain around the north bay mountains, east bay hills, and perhaps down towards the santa cruz mountains. that's the monday chance for rain. tuesday looks dry and then more rain chances right there into wednesday. and notice how the low really doesn't go anywhere. we continue to see the chances of showers, ongoing chances of sierra snow. we're talking wednesday off and on into thursday and friday. and now as we move forward into next weekend, saturday right now trending dry. but we could be back at it again by sunday. so that is a very active looking 7-day forecast. as you can see, we'll bring those multiple rain chances through the end of the week. so san francisco tomorrow increasing clouds cool finish to the weekend. rainy mid day monday and more showers possible wednesday through friday and then stay tuned if you have plans for next weekend. right

now looks like we could be seeing rain next sunday so many chances of rain ahead all starting late tomorrow into monday. yeah, here it comes. rob thank you. up next, painting the player. the east bay art exhibit honoring former warriors guard klay thompson.nd when a "the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see all that you are? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

that we've evolved and the confidence that we have right now. so i think it's going to be a very difficult for them and we've got nothing to lose. i think we're in like the best case scenario, we're, you know, the underdog. and you know we don't have pressure. we're just going in to prove something and we're just so excited. and the match gets underway bright and early at 930 in the morning. that's a look at sports gm terry back to you anthony. thank you. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas in new york city a live look right now at rockefeller center. and you can see down there skaters on the famed ice rink and the iconic christmas tree arrived today. crowds gathered as the 74 foot tall norway spruce completed its 140 mile journey from massachusetts. it's big. crews will soon begin decorating it with more than 50,000 multi-colored led lights, then top it off with a nine foot, 900 pound swarovski star covered in 3 million crystals. famous rockefeller tree lighting
