to 7:00 on the dot. oh, come look at the camera. come look at the tv screen if you can. a gorgeous sunrise from our san bruno mountain camera on a chilly but sunny sunday morning. thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper. unfortunately, we have to move away from that beautiful shot. cinthia pimentel has a look at our microclimate forecast. another clear and cool morning out there. and i've got another sunrise shot for everybody so we don't have to end it just yet. look at palo alto. gorgeous sunrise right now over the southern peninsula. it is cool out there. some low 40s. and that continues into parts of san jose as well. but we move over to the east bay. parts of walnut creek looking in those upper 30s. and wow, that sunrise over san francisco. just gorgeous. that cloud cover is due to the system that is knocking on our footsteps for today. we will notice more of that increasing cloud cover throughout the day. a little bit gloomier as we track those evening rain chances and look at this atmospheric

river is on our way. i'll time it out. and when we can see those impacts in the 7-day forecast coming up in about 15 minutes. kira back to you. all right, cynthia, thanks. we begin with breaking news this morning. the chief spokesman of hezbollah has been killed in beirut. an official with hezbollah confirmed mohammad afif was killed in the strike sunday in lebanon's capital city. there is no official word on the death toll. this is the latest in a string of targeted attacks aimed at taking down senior hezbollah officials. but it comes as lebanese officials say they were considering a us led ceasefire proposal. hezbollah, you may recall, began firing into israel the day after hamas's october 7th attacks. one year ago. back here locally, a new report says the situation is dire and dysfunctional within the santa clara county board of education, and it could lead to financial problems that trickle down to santa clara county and its more than 200,000 students. a state

agency has been reviewing the santa clara county office of education for months. their report says the board failed to follow its own management policies for example, when the board abruptly fired county superintendent doctor mary ann dewan in early october. in a statement to the mercury news, the county school board president argues that this report came two weeks after dewan's ouster timing, which, quote, raises concerns about the process, limited scope and context included in the report. meanwhile, the san jose state women's volleyball team is facing yet another lawsuit over an alleged transgender player on their team. that player has not come out publicly as transgender. and for privacy concerns, we are not naming her. but the lawsuit claims title nine rights are being violated by allowing a transgender athlete in women's sports. the team's co-captain, one assistant coach and other mountain west athletes filed this new suit

against the conference. the california state university system and three san jose state staffers, which includes the team's head coach. they want to block their own team from the upcoming conference tournament and reverse any losses for teams that forfeited against sjsu. they also want the spartans to forfeit any games they won with the help of that player. in question. we spoke with spectators at the team's game yesterday against colorado state. the spartans first game since the suit was filed. it ought to be thrown out. that's that's nuts. absolute crazy stuff. given that they do meet the regulations set up by the league and the player qualifies. i think there are people who have prejudices everywhere, but i think there's more of us that are accepting the mountain west conference and san jose state are not commenting on the lawsuit, by the way. at their first game since that lawsuit, the spartans beat colorado state

3 to 2. san jose animal care and services needs to do more to protect animals in their shelter. that's the finding of a new audit released by the city of san jose. the city council called for the audit after multiple complaints from the community about poor conditions for dogs and cats inside that shelter. the new report found that the shelter is way over capacity. according to the audit, in july and august, there were 700 animals crowded into the shelter built for just 500, and that makes disease prevention more difficult. one animal advocate fought for the audit and tells us overcrowding can have extreme impacts on the animals. the ultimate impact is death because if animals are catching diseases and then having to be euthanized, or if the overcrowding is causing stress, especially for the big dogs, and it causes behaviors that then results in them being euthanized. so the basic result

is potentially death. we reached out to san jose animal care services, which says it agrees with the audit's recommendations, and it looks forward to delivering on them. meanwhile, matt mayor matt mahan says the audit indicates the shelter is over capacity under water financially and needs to expand staffing. he says the audit provides a roadmap to lead to improvements. the first known case of a more severe strain of mpox has been detected for the very first time in the united states, and the patient is right here in the bay area. today in the bay's natalie vera spoke to an infectious infectious disease specialist and joins us from the newsroom with what you need to know. doctors say there's no reason to be alarmed. the risk to the general public remains low. now, the new strain is called clade one, and the disease is usually transmitted with close skin to skin contact. a more aggressive strain of the

mpox virus has made its way to the united states, and patient zero is in the bay area. san mateo county public health says it is responding to a case of clade one mpox, a new strain that's been known to cause more severe illness and deaths than clade two. but doctors say not to worry. the risk to the general population is low. san mateo county health says the case is related to an ongoing outbreak in central and eastern africa, where the local patient traveled recently. health leaders say the illness is mild and the patient is recovering and isolating at home. the original strain was clade one back in the 70s. it was really from animals and the reason why this is concerning is that it's mutated to go from person to person. another strain, clade two, has been detected in the u.s. since 2022. the one that we saw in 2022. it's mainly confined to men who have sex

with men. doctor peter chin-hong says symptoms for both variants are the same. after exposure in about 4 to 7 days, you get flu like symptoms. so headache, muscle aches, fever and about 2 or 3 days after that, you start getting these boils that people know about from 2022. he says they can appear in any part of the body, but it's usually on the arms or face, or if there's intimate contact around the genital area. doctor chin-hong recommends certain populations get vaccinated, primarily men who have sex with men. and if you got one shot, make sure you get the second. san mateo county health leaders are conducting contact tracing and reaching out to anyone who may have been in contact with the infected patient. in the newsroom, natalie vera, nbc bay area news. we're going to take a big turn now. we are moving the bay area forward as thanksgiving is just 11 days away, and that means

it's time for our 15th annual nourishing neighbors food drive. nbc bay area and telemundo 48 have partnered with safeway to combat food insecurity. you can see a lot of our team members kris sanchez marcus washington on the top left, cinthia pimentel on the top right. i'm there somewhere waving a sign and robert honda and other team members jessica aguirre kari hall we're out there. bob redell getting the word out at the stores across the bay area yesterday. get this we received an update in just our first day. you've helped us raise more than $123,000. that's all you. several bay area food banks, including second harvest silicon valley. this is video from there will benefit from the campaign. each dollar you donate will pay for two meals. we talked to one customer whose donation helped make this possible. thought of people being hungry is just and in our area, an affluent area like silicon valley, it's

shameful. anything we can do to donate a little here and there to help the people less fortunate? i think we should. but the bar for this year's nourishing neighbors campaign is high. last year, you helped us raise more than $4 million for those in need. that's equivalent to more than 8 million meals. there's still time to donate until christmas day. our nourishing neighbors food drive is at every safeway across the bay area, as well as andronico's markets. you can scan the code at checkout for $10 added to your receipt at your local store. just about 710. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, we take you live to washington, d.c. for our weekly interview with kristen welker, who has a

past week, including matt gaetz, who was under investigation by

the house ethics committee, as well as robert f kennedy jr, who is known for spreading misinformation about vaccines. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of meet the press. hi, kristen. great to see you as always. there has been a lot of attention on the president elect's picks the past few days. i'm wondering who stood out to you. among the names trump put forward? well, i think the two names you just mentioned, rfk jr. certainly a lightning rod. he set off some alarm bells within the medical community. of course, he is a vaccine skeptic, despite the fact that scientists have long said that vaccines are proved to be safe and effective. and so there are concerns about him now overseeing the nation's largest health agency. but i have to tell you, republicans right now, keeping an open mind as it relates to him, i think the bigger challenge for president elect trump may be former congressman matt gaetz. he resigned from congress just

days before the house ethics committee was set to vote on releasing a report about allegations into gaetz of misconduct, including sexual misconduct. he denies any and all wrongdoing. i had an opportunity to interview republican senator markwayne mullin of oklahoma. he said. he would like to see that report. he thinks senators need that report in order to carry out their role in an advice and consent capacity in any confirmation process. so it's going to be really fascinating to see how this plays out. privately, a number of republicans have told nbc news they think that gaetz has a really tough path to confirmation, so we'll have to see how it all unfolds. kyra, it's interesting to see both sides within the same party, and i understand you also spoke with the senator about possible recess appointments, so we look forward to seeing that interview in just about 45 minutes from now. kristen, thanks as always. we hope you join christian for this morning's meet the press.

she will have those exclusive interviews. as i mentioned with senator markwayne mullin as well as house minority leader hakeem jeffries. if you just stick right here with us for today in the bay, meet the press is on at 8 a.m, right after this newscast. and coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we will talk to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at those key cabinet picks. nominees by president elect trump, and whether any nominations are in jeopardy. perhaps matt gaetz, as kristen just mentioned, dozens of volunteers and students helped repair broken items to help our climate in crisis. it was part of the fix it fest at king middle school in berkeley. the event was the second of three planned community workshops. the idea is to help keep broken items out of landfills and empower people to fix their own things. volunteers are so-called repair coaches, helped repair clothes, bikes, toys and more. students were also nearby to

check in on attendees and assist the volunteers. organizers say the community turnout for this event and the one before it, has been impressive. well, the first event we had at willard a couple of months ago, we had over 100 people come to the event to try to repair things. we're also getting close to 50 volunteers coming to either work at the event, or be a repair coach and help people fix their items, so that combined is an amazing response. i was so impressed and so happy to prepare for yesterday's event. students got in-class lessons about basic repair skills like sewing, patching a bike tire. the next fix it fest is in february. i think i need to go to that. the san francisco 49ers, meanwhile, showed their pride in more ways than one. the team hosted its second annual drag brunch yesterday, organized by lgbtq plus employees. fans were encouraged to come and celebrate pride and the niners, the team

used the opportunity to debut an exclusive pride themed collection of shirts and hats with a rainbow design. some of the team's lgbtq plus employees helped design the collection themselves. apparently, the 49ers were the first ever nfl team to have its own clothing line, and now it's the first team to refresh it with a pride twist. san francisco's sketch fest is out with this year's lineup, and tickets go on sale today. among those taking part this year, kevin pollak, phil rosenthal as well as bill murray and his blood brothers. there will also be a special tribute with peaches christ for tim curry from the rocky horror picture show. this year's event runs from january 16th until february 2nd. we were able to talk to the festival co-founder david owen, who tells us the festival is a way to bring everyone together. i think when times are hard, it's also very important to laugh. i think laughter is crucial for people's

physical and mental health. and so we i like to think that we provide an escape and a distraction and a wonderful evening out. performances are happening at several venues across the city, including cobb's comedy club, the gateway theater and the great american music hall. you can find more information online at sf sketchfest.com. well, happening today. thousands of runners are lacing up their shoes for the berkeley half marathon. the 13.1 mile race begins shortly after 730. this morning. this is video from previous years. the course starts at milvia street downtown and winds through some of berkeley's most scenic areas. runners will cross the finish line at civic center park on martin luther king jr way. heads up there are some road closures because of the race, so if you're driving in or around berkeley. here's a look at what you need to know. i-80 exits at university avenue are closed, so

are off ramps from i-80 and ashby avenue to that frontage road. martin luther king junior way also is closed at dwight way all the way to addison street. the roads are expected to reopen around noon. a nice sunny morning, perhaps to run, but definitely chilly out there. cinthia pimentel has a look at our microclimate forecast. definitely a layer underneath. but all those runners are going to, you know, soon start to feel hot in it. but the people going to support them, i would bundle up and get ready for some gloomy weather on the way. we are looking at our day planner in berkeley. temperatures only in the upper 50s there today, turning breezy at times. so if you're going to support, maybe bring the runner in extra jacket for once they're done. the rest of us, after a cool morning, we'll see a gradual warming struggling to get there as we go on into our lunchtime hour. cloudy skies and breezy conditions that will carry us into this afternoon with temperatures only in the upper

50s for a lot of us, a few 60s start to pop up towards livermore and down into the south county in those low 60s, but it is the showers that we await another event going on down here in the south bay seahawks and 49ers. i would also wear another layer under the jersey, bring the jackets and some closed toed shoes as we see cloudy skies and temperatures only in the low 60s there continuing to turn even cooler as we go on into the evening hours down here in the south bay awaiting that shot of rain. so let's time it out for you. we go on into the early parts of the afternoon, could see some sprinkles up there in the north bay. it will come winding down into parts of the peninsula and the east bay around our late dinner time, and into the south bay. when we're getting ready for bed, we can hear some soft pitter patters and that will be it. monday looks to be sunny, breezy and clear before we get ready for even heavier activity going on into the middle part of the week, so people are going to start getting ready to wind down for the thanksgiving holiday. start traveling. here's what's going to be putting a dent on

our plans, at least if you're getting a week, start week heads up. start on this wednesday, thursday, friday. look at that path coming into the bay area. models are trending though a little bit to the north, so we can see those spots of yellow right around the north bay of course, into parts of the northern state where those totals. we're not going to be talking traces, amounts we could be talking possibly inches of rain. and as the days go on, we have to see how far south it pushes through into parts of the south bay. of course, we get rain shadowed when that rain does start to come. so watch here as we paint some early estimates on this. most of that painted up into the north bay, but then into the south bay. we could be looking at maybe 1 to 2in of rain, which would be pretty beneficial. i think at this point the soils can take that up. we could dampen that concern of fire weather and really get into a rainy season ahead. so 7-day forecast goes like this. seconds and cloudy

for the niners down here in the south bay. turning sunny and breezy for tomorrow. and then we get those umbrellas, the windshield wipers and everything going on. the rain will be mixed in though, with slightly warmer temperatures, but an atmospheric river exciting the first time of many. i suspect we'll be hearing that word. cynthia. thanks. 21 past the hour. there is much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, the sharks trying to turn around that losing streak. an exciting twist at the end of the game in

and they came so close. let's skip ahead to the second period. penguins up three to nothing. that's about to change on the power play. a celebrini pass deflected to will smith who passes to tyler toffoli. he gets it in for the sharks first goal. sharks keep the momentum going in the third. zetterlund crosses

to granlund. he scores. sharks now down just one. less than nine minutes left. ty dellandrea hits to toffoli. he scores his second goal to tie the game. toffoli big hugs there. sharks force the match into an overtime shootout, but that's where the rally comes up short. game on. the line. alex wennberg takes the shot. it is blocked. penguins win 4 to 3. sharks have now lost three straight games. the season has not been won either for stanford football. the cardinal, which was two and seven going into yesterday's game, went up against the 19th ranked and 20 point favorite louisville cardinals. we go to the third quarter. stanford down 28 to 13 looking like more of the same. but ashton daniels hits eric maynor for a 13 yard touchdown. stanford does convert that two points and it's now just a one touchdown lead for louisville. 45 seconds to go. emmett mosley in the fifth. hauls in that pass from backup qb justin lamson. stanford ties

it. stanford stops louisville ultimately gets the ball. and with the help from two louisville penalties, emmett kenny with a 52 yard field goal. did you see that as time expire? and look at that celebration. students running onto the field to celebrate a cardinal win against the cardinals. a top 20 team. stanford faces cal next weekend in the big game. cal, speaking of at home with a game against syracuse. second quarter cal's javion thomas takes off. he won't be stopped. look at that 75 yard run. the extra point is good to make this a 13 seven game. syracuse would pull away, aided by two interceptions of fernando mendoza. it was a 27 seven syracuse at halftime. cal didn't quit with a minute to go in the game. mendoza hits jonathan brady from five yards out, but the orange defeat the

golden bears 33 to 25. cal needs a win next saturday against stanford to be eligible to play in a bowl game. and speaking of bowl games, the spartans bowl eligible against 13th ranked boise state. spartans score when walker finds jacob stewart for the seven yard touchdown. san jose state with the early 14 point lead. boise state would tie it at the half. the spartans would score quick out of the half. he finds nick nash for that touchdown. spartans back on top, 2114. but the broncos would take it from there and win. final score. boise state 42, san jose state 21. the spartans, now just six and four on their season. woo! 27 past the hour. much more ahead on today in the bay and atmospheric river for the bay area. this week. coming up cynthia is tracking the possible path of rain in your

neighborhood. plus that first of many reminders we're working to help feed bay area families in need. this holiday season. our chris kamara is excited about this one. our nourishing neighbors food drive runs through christmas day. you can donate at your neighborhood safeway or andronico's market. scan that qr code on your screen to learn more about where your donation goes. we are back

boots in time. happy to hear that. good morning kara. good morning everyone. it is a cool start. let's take a look at some of our coldest temperatures right now. boulder creek below freezing. fairfield just above it at 33 degrees. so 30s and 40s to start our day. we go up to sonoma at 38 on this sunday morning. not so much sun in that sunday as we turn things cloudy later on this afternoon awaiting that evening rain chance, which will just be tracey at times. and then out of here by monday. but then watch this before the break. we said atmospheric river on the way that could be heading right to the bay area as we go on into the middle part of the week and possibly ruining next weekend's plan. so i'll time it out for you, coming up in my full forecast in about ten minutes. kira, back to you. all right. cynthia, thanks. the highest tides of the year are back in the bay area. they're called king tides. this video from marin county yesterday morning, right near the bay trail, where the water commonly overflows into streets and

roadways. if you live there, you know it. the national weather service issued a flood advisory for san francisco and other coastal regions through tomorrow. normally, i check a tide chart before i head out. i forgot, but unfortunately this is the only way to get to sort of northern marin so you don't have a choice. you kind of have to navigate this regardless. the national. oh, there he goes. another one. the national weather service is urging people to watch out for road closures or delays because of that flooding. take heed. after this weekend, the king tides will make another appearance mid december. you might know, but they happen when the moon is closest to the earth during a full or new moon. in the winter months, we just had that full. what was it? a beaver moon on friday? don't forget you can track the weather while you're on the go with our free nbc bay area app. just scan that qr code on your screen to download it and we just redesigned our weather section. it's more

accurate than the weather app on your phone. back to decision 2024 leaders working on president elect trump's transition team say they are considering a move to create a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from afghanista, according to two people familiar with the plan. the transition team is compiling a list of senior, current and former u.s. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal. the commission would be tasked with gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason. however, it's not clear what would legally justify treason charges, since the military officers were following orders of the president to withdraw all u.s. forces from afghanistan. president elect trump has previously condemned the withdrawal as a, quote, humiliation and the most

embarrassing day in the history of our country. end quote. the trump transition team did not immediately respond to our request for comment. meanwhile, president elect trump has named oil and gas industry executive chris, right, as his pick to lead the department of energy. right is the founder of liberty energy, an oilfield services firm based in denver and a staunch defender of fossil fuel use. the department of energy handles u.s. energy diplomacy, administers the strategic petroleum reserve, which trump has said he wants to replenish, and runs grant and loan programs to advance energy technologies. the secretary also oversees the aging u.s. nuclear weapons complex, nuclear energy waste disposal, and 17 national labs. meanwhile, president joe biden is the first sitting president sitting u.s. president to travel to the amazon rainforest and today will attend the g20 summit in brazil. yesterday, he had his

final meeting with chinese president xi jinping. biden vowing to continue a steady relationship with the incoming u.s. administration. the two met at president xi's hotel in lima, peru, where they are attending the asia pacific economic cooperation forum, or apec summit, which was held in san francisco last year. biden and xi spoke for about two hours. they say they discussed everything from cybercrime to trade relations with russia and taiwan. both emphasize their public statements and the importance of getting along. we haven't always agreed, but our conversations have always been candid and always been frank. we have never kidded one another. we've been leveled with one another, and i think that's vital. these conversations prevent miscalculations, and they ensure the competition between our two countries will not veer into conflict. big competition, not conflict. of course, this final meeting comes

two months before president elect trump takes the office, and trump has proposed a blanket 60% tariff on goods from china. we're going to take a big turn now. november is prematurity awareness month. it's a time to highlight premature birth and the journey many families go through. last year, 1 in 10 births in the u.s. were premature. that's according to the march of dimes. the infants are small and are at a greater risk of health struggles, even death, than those born at full term. today, in the bay's miriam villarreal spent time with a menlo park family who welcomed triplets into the world sooner than expected. g.o.a.t. mateo parker and lennon cardona have become synonymous with resilience and faith for their parents. it's a mix of excitement and being grateful that they're here, but also being scared because it's an environment that you know you haven't had any experience in. in january, abigail and orlando

welcomed their triplets at only 27 weeks. the risks are really associated with entire body being premature. so what we need to do as neonatologists is try to make sure that we protect that development. so that the babies can reach their full potential. stanford children's neonatologist bonifacio explains that when babies are born prematurely, it's important to protect their development with the necessary care in the nicu and using methods such as kangaroo care. what we found here at stanford children's health is we found that even doing 20 minutes more of kangaroo care time has lasting impacts on a baby's development. at one year of age, they have higher scores in their ability to learn. this technique consists of the parent holding their baby skin to skin, something the cardona family says has benefited their little ones. mateo was the first one that i got to hold before that really, you're just touching like their hands or. but to feel his whole, like, body on top of my body, like they're so tiny

and i could cup him with, like, both of my hands. and it was the most incredible feeling for me as a mom. week after week, the triplets showed progress, and after months in intensive care, they returned home. the day that you get to bring them home is filled with so much joy. and so yeah, just take one day at a time and savor the moments that you get to have with them. uncertainty overcome by faith. the cardona family says they hope to be an example of their triple miracle. that was miriam villarreal reporting. we're going to turn now to new developments in the controversy within the troubled san mateo county sheriff's office. we reported to you yesterday morning that the assistant sheriff, matthew fox, had resigned. now, undersheriff daniel perea is coming out in support of embattled sheriff christina corpus. in a statement, he said, quote, press reports and rumors that i have resigned are untrue. i continue

to have complete confidence and respect for sheriff christina corpus. i remain committed to serving sheriff christina corpus as she continues to bring change in the face of entrenched resistance. this comes as the sheriff fights calls for her to resign. an independent report was released last week accusing sheriff corpus administration of lies, of abuse of authority and of conflicts of interest. the san mateo county board of supervisors say they have forwarded the report to the county district attorney, as well as the california attorney general. this coming week, they say they will consider an amendment that would allow the board of supervisors to remove sheriff corpus, but that would then have to be approved by voters in march. more than 100 sworn staff members have left the san mateo county sheriff's office since corpus was elected in 2022. corpus is the first woman and first latina to hold

the office in san mateo county. meanwhile, san mateo county workers are expected to ratify a new contract this coming week. it includes the largest wage hike in 20 years. the tentative deal on the three year contract was announced on friday. it calls for a 15% wage increase, establishing cesar chavez as a new paid holiday and contributions to health insurance. the union that represents about 2000 county workers will start voting on the contract tomorrow. and we continue to move the bay area forward with thanksgiving just 11 days away, it is once again time for our annual nourishing neighbors food drive. for the 15th year now, nbc bay area and telemundo 48 have partnered with safeway to combat food insecurity. 1 in 6 people in the bay area is food insecure. that means they don't have enough to eat on a daily basis. you can see several of our team members on your screen there. top left

jeff ranieri and alamo all around concord, san francisco down to janelle wang and menlo park. we were all out at the stores getting the word out across the bay area, and an update in just our first day. you have helped us raise more than $123,000. there's still time to help us. our nourishing neighbors food drive runs through christmas day. you can donate at the checkout at your local safeway or andronico's store. you just asked the ringer upper person checking you out to add that $10 to your receipt. wow, my most eloquent moment ever. 740 right now. still to come on today in the bay. while winter storms last year caused a lot of damage across capitola, one bridge made it through. but leaders there still need to replace it. we'll tell y

our day looking over the city right now, seeing those clouds over the golden gate bridge into parts of marin and sonoma counties as well. but down here in the south bay. look at that. it is gorgeous, but it won't last long. we are looking at that cloud cover rolling down into parts of the east bay and the south bay. pretty soon here, taking it into our lunchtime hour will feel the breeze pick up as well. and we'll await those afternoon showers as we go on and wrap up the weekend. temperatures will also be on the cooler side. not too much change from yesterday, mostly upper 50s and 60s on our map, and that should stay for the next couple of days. as well. here's that shot of rain as we go on in. maybe drive back from our long weekend. we are looking at first rolling in through the north bay around three 4:00, then into parts of the peninsula and the east bay around dinner time and right around bedtime, getting into the south bay. but overall should be a clear and another cool night ahead. as far as totals for today, we are looking

at trace amounts once again, a better shot maybe for parts of san francisco along the coast, half moon bay could see a 10th of an inch there, but we are looking at possibly higher totals as we go on into the second to last week of november. here. straight shot of an atmospheric river coming into the region right now. as far as totals, timing and who could get the best shot of it right? we're keeping it to the north bay and to the parts of the northern sierra. it could start to make its way south by around thursday, friday and bring some rain down here into the south bay. but there's the santa cruz mountains that we have to deal with, and then we get rain shadowed there. it could continue even on into our weekend there saturday for you, but this is still long days ahead. the models i wouldn't trust anything past three days, but they just keep ramping up more rain so this could verify as we go on into next weekend and start talking about thanksgiving. so seven-day forecast goes like this san francisco 50s and 60s, slightly

warmer, if you can call it that. by the middle of the week when we get more moisture in here, go into the mid 60s and our inland. seven day forecast. enjoy the dry days as we go on into today and tomorrow, because we go on into next week and we find those jackets, we get those slippery roads and we bump temperatures up just a little bit as we go on into the late weekend, late week of it. so here is kids are ready with their rain boots. i have to look for mine. yes, you can borrow some. cynthia. thanks

amid the larry nassar investigation. in 2018, usa gymnastics terminated its contract with karolyi ranch, which bela ran in texas with his wife, marta. bela karolyi was 82. turning now locally to the coast. a bridge that somehow remained standing as the capitola whard was all but destroyed in the 2023 storms, is now on the chopping block itself. that's because engineers say it poses major flood risks. the stockton avenue bridge opened 90 years ago in 1934, but some argue that debris buildup along the bottom, the base of the bridge, can pose a huge flooding threat. capitola leaders are considering replacing the bridge. the first step will be a series of community outreach sessions during president elect donald trump's 2024 campaign for the presidency. he pledged to, quote, shake up the system with cabinet heads far removed from

the political establishment. some of his nominees in the past week for key posts confirmed the president elect's promise, with unusual, if not controversial, political resumes. nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston joins us. a lot of trump supporters are praising these choices, saying this is what we need to bring change. but understandably, there's always the other side and there is considerable flak from critics. do you think the blowback is justified? well, good morning. good morning. it goes to show you the election keeps keeps coming, keeps conferring benefits on us. look, you have to look at this in two ways. one, the office and two, the people set to go into those offices. there's no doubt that most of them will get confirmed. most of the two dozen or so. but there are a half a dozen or more or so who really might be questionable, especially to the other side. if not republicans themselves in the senate. and what do you think are some of

the nominations most likely in jeopardy? i talked with christian walker of meet the press about matt gaetz and rfk jr. but you say there are even more. yeah, those are two out of three gates. no question is number one, look, 42 years old, a member of the house who resigned the day before that. that ethics report was supposed to come out. that's not just a coincidence. there's a reason for that. we just don't know exactly what's in the report. nor do those republican senators, many of them who want to see what's in that report, controversial because of his background, arguing that he had some sex trafficking and drugs and things like that. not good. the second one was also discussed, and that was of course, a rfk jr. get to that in a second. but the second one for me is tulsi gabbard. tulsi gabbard, a former member of congress, major a. excuse me, lieutenant colonel in the army reserve, has absolutely no

experience in managing the area of the as as the national intelligence agency. she has none. that itself covers 18 different agencies. she's also praised dictators around the world, including vladimir putin and others. look, this is not likely to be received well by those who are very sensitive to what goes on in the intelligence community and the third was also discussed by her, and that is rfk jr. look, this is a very important office. health and human services is an anti anti-vaccine guy a skeptic, but but more than that, in talking about the vaccine and china, he actually argued that the vaccine was developed in such a way that jews and chinese would not, would not, would survive without it. others would be hurt. so it just goes to show you the extent to which this argument has been made about his questionable values, about vaccine, covid and a number of other things. interesting people outside the box, way outside the box. the

question is, will they get in? well, and now we're looking at republicans having the majority in in congress. so wouldn't would one assume that these choices will just go through? trump argues i should say now, incoming president trump argues that, look, i was elected. i won the electoral college, i won a majority of the votes. i have a mandate. my appointees should be confirmed. it's a reasonable argument. the senate, on the other hand, is known for having the responsibility of advise and consent. that means they don't have to go along with everything and anything. the president says he will get most of those folks ratified, confirmed, but some of them will not. i think gates is number one, and that's because these senators have to go back and tell their folks, here's what we did. and why. and this is the independence we have as a co-equal branch of government. look for a lot of fireworks on 3 or 4 of these guys. most will

get through. but the fireworks and the potential of recess appointments while they're on recess. but we don't have time to talk about that right now. larry. maybe next week. thanks for your time. 53 past the hour. up next, a quick look at our bay area top stories, including rain on the way and a warning about king tides. we are tracking the latest the first atmospheric

years could be on its way for san mateo county employees. a tentative deal on the three year contract was announced friday. it calls for a 15% wage increase, as well as establishing cesar chavez day as a new paid holiday, as well as contributions to health insurance. representing the union, representing about 2000 county workers will start voting on that new contract tomorrow. the highest tides of the year are back. king tides are back to the bay area. this is video from marin county. yesterday morning where the water always overflows into the streets and roadways. the national weather service issued a flood advisory for san francisco and other coastal regions through tomorrow. the national weather service is urging people to watch out for road closures or delays because of that flooding. so perfect time now to check in with cynthia before we go. aside from the king tides, we will be looking at some rain light on the way as we go on later into

this evening. clearing out. but cool as we go on into monday and tuesday and then get ready for this. we are tracking the possibility of an atmospheric river right now. best shots are to the north, but that will be wednesday through next weekend. but hopefully no rain for the 105 kickoff at levi's stadium tonight. cloudy and cool. great. cynthia, thanks. and thanks so much to you for making us a part of your sunday morning. know, 5 or 6 p.m. news. instead, it's football night in america right here on nbc bay area. the cincinnati bengals at the los angeles chargers on sunday night football. we will have a special edition newscast right after that. and then we're back again at 11 p.m. until then, you can always stay up to date on nbcbayarea.com. thanks for donating if you can. at safeway, andronico's
