"nbc news daily" starts right now.

today is tuesday, november 26th, 2024. we are off. today is one of the busiest days of the thanksgiving rush and how airports and train stations are handling the holiday traffic. the storm is moving across the country. trading places. president-elect trump plans to hit mexico, china, canada with new tariffs on his first day in office. the major impact this would have on the price you pay for everything from groceries to clothes. slimming down. the white house says it wants those popular weight loss drugs to be covered by medicare and medicaid and how that affects millions of americans. drake is taking legal action off a disc track by kendrick lamar. it is so good to be with you. we are going to begin the hour with a quick moving storm system that could have a major impact on your thanksgiving travel plans. that is, if you haven't left yet. the mix of rain and snow that

hit california is now over the rockies. it's expected to move from the midwest and northeast. just take a look at this map. if you are flying or connecting through one of these major airports, you could experience weather-related delays today and tomorrow. flying and driving for thanksgiving remain the primary modes of transportation, aaa says the biggest growth areas this year include traveling by bus, train, and cruises. nbc news meteorologist bill karins is tracking the storm systems. our correspondent is at new york city's penn station but we start with adrienne at a busy chicago o'hare airport. they are expecting 3 million travelers tomorrow on thanksgiving even. what are you seeing there today? >> reporter: we have seen a steady flow of traffic throughout the day and compared to this time yesterday, we have seen more people traveling with smaller children and more families traveling. we have also seen a number of people needing assistance.

we have seen service workers here wheeling people to the security checkpoint lines. the lines today, still about an average wait of 5 to ten minutes. i did speaker earlier in the day with a spokesperson from the chicago department of aviation and she told me between today and monday, they are expecting to screen 1.5 million passengers here at chicago o'hare alone. we spoke with some of those passengers today. here is what they told us about their journey. >> just enjoying the weather. my first time being up north for the winter so experiencing northern weather. >> reporter: what was the biggest challenge you faced, if any at all? >> packing for the cold. we are from florida and trying to pack for all of the cold weather was probably the hardest part. >> reporter: our meteorologists are tracking that storm. some folks told me they are from southern and warmer climates and

they are actually looking forward to seeing snow. >> you feel that. i'm looking forward to it too. steven, instead of planes and cars, other are taking trains. what are you hearing from amtrak riders at penn station? >> reporter: they sure are. talking to people here, train enthusiasts which i understand you used to be during your d.c. days. a family had three young kids and they said this is easier from trying to get on plane where you have to go through tsa. a different situation here when you take a train. they are heading to boston. they say it's a scenic route. it's quiet. they really enjoy it. but, still, 72 million people are traveling by car this year. of course, that is the most popular 6 million are traveling by plane. you mentioned the uptick with buses and trains and cruises. 2.3 million are expected to take those this year. cruises are leading the way there. 9% growth over last year. now some of those people this uptick is also because people

are sick of those airport headaches. i, myself, have been stuck in an airport over christmas. it is not a fun place to be. it is not merry and bright, that's for sure. there are a lot of people who are just looking for some other ways to try to enjoy their journey. here is more of what some had to say. >> we booked this trip on amtrak today and probably six, maybe eight weeks ago. >> reporter: have you learned any hard lessons about travel in the past? >> ha! i've been traveling my whole career, so, yes, plenty of hard lessons. and, basically, don't be late. >> reporter: good advice. pay attention to all of the potential delays and, of course, the busy travel. >> don't be late is good advice universally.

bill, speaking of being late, if folks have not left yet, what should they know? >> i think the biggest issues tonight is moving through the rockies tonight and tomorrow. one storm existing the east. our storm in the west and continuing to track and not like an organized storm. some in in monterey. we go through tonight and tomorrow, snow mostly in colorado. some areas in higher elevations will get a good amount of snow. i-25 will be slick coming down from denver to colorado springs. i don't think we will see many problems at all thanksgiving day. the whole western half of the country. it's all of the east and all on the east coast and where we will see the biggest issues and we will have problems with the roads, planes, trains, everything because of that heavy rain and snow in northern new england. >> pack that patience as we say. thank you all.

we are following breaking news from the middle east. israel appears to be on the verge of approving a permanent cease-fire agreement with israel and lebanon. benjamin netanyahu said he was presenting the deal to his war cabinet. he urged his ministers to accept it. in the meantime, israel has continued its blistering assault on the militant group and striking dozens of targets across lebanon the last 24 hours. nbc news international correspondent matt bradley is following these developments and joins us now. matt, prime minister netanyahu said he is presenting an outline for a cease-fire. can you walk us through this and what it entails? >> reporter: the prime minister didn't talk a lot about the details of the deal. we only know and what the israel public knows is from media reports from israel and western media. they are saying this is basically a 60-day period in

which hezbollah and the israel military would withdraw. the israelis behind their border and hezbollah behind the river. these were boundaries set in 2006 and remain the people there of the terms that ended that previous conflict between israel and hezbollah. now this is something that isn't going to be lost on the israel public. you can tell from listening to netanyahu he was convincing his own people and speaking in hebrew and telling them a lot of desire in israel for the israeli military to go into lebanon and finish off hezbollah once and for all. this deal looks like for a lot of israelis stick with the status quo threatening so many people for so long. for lebanese people, this is be coming as a massive relief. we are see what is teetering a humanitarian catastrophe as we see in the gaza strip.

netanyahu mentioned that the united states had given him the right, the israelis the right to intervene back in lebanon if they feel as though hezbollah was presenting just a threat right up on israel's doorsteps and they would be able to intervene and have the right to do so. >> more to come on this story. thank you, matt bradley. let's turn to today's cnbc money minute. warren buffett is giving away $1 billion in stock. >> google and facebook's owner meta is urging the australian government to delay a bill that would ban children under the age of 16 from using social media saying the government should wait for results from an age verification trial before going forward. the bill was introduced last week and could become law by thursday at the end of the legislative session. starbucks is facing disruption.

coffee giant said the outage affected its ability to pay baristas and manage their schedule and leaving store managers to track the employees' pay. it will ensure baristas will eventually be paid for all hours worked. warren buffett gave away more than 1.1 billion of his stock and three children to distribute his remaining $147.4 billion as he follows through on his pledge to give away the 99% of his fortune. >> that is incredible. thanks for that. coming up, a cut above. meet the student who opened up a barber shop inside his high school and how he is breaking barriers for his classmes is barriers for his classmes is at co how are folks 60 and older having fun these days? family cookouts! ♪♪ playing games! ♪♪

more than two years after the supreme court overturned roe v wade, abortions across the country are actually up. in 2023, more than 1 million abortions were record in the united states and highest number in a decade according to a research group that supports abortion access. abortion rates have remained the same this year, too. aria, this was a fascinating report and we know after the dobbs decision, many people thought abortion rates would

sort of naturally go down and births would go up but that has not been the case. what have you found? >> that's right. what i found in my reporting is abortion pills are a key part of this story. in 2021, the fda issued a major change that allowed the pills to be prescribed ia telehealth. according to the dobbs, eight states have shield laws and allow providers in those states abortion is illegal to provide the pills where abortion is banned so essentially created a pipeline to access of abortion pills across the country, regardless of state level restrictions. and then on top of that, we saw abortion funds and provider networks receive just a large influx of donations after the dobbs decision and they i don't do those donations to open up more clinics and also to fund out of state travel for abortions. >> so we will have a new administration in january when

president-elect trump takes office. how might that further change access to abortions in this country? especially noting the numbers you found, that they have been going up? >> right. well, pro life groups tell me they expect the trump administration to go after that 2021 fda provision that allows the pills could be prescribed via telehealth. essentially they think the next whois white house to make it harder to get abortion bills either through the mail or online. there is also a possibility that the fda under trump could try to rescind the approval of the abortion bill. having spoken with both prolife and abortion life groups they are gearing up for further restrictions to abortion access. >> while you did find abortions went up, it was not the same across all demographics.

is that right? >> that's true. when we talk about in clinic abortions, those are particularly difficult compared to medication abortions and harder on low income people of color. so the data might obscure a bit of that reality. people who actually have to physically travel because they can't get a medication abortion, that is still a difficult and harrowing journey for many. >> thank you. the rival between two rap music's biggest stars drake and kendrick lamar is entering a new chapter. drake's company filed two legal actions. lawyers for drake alleged umg enacted a scheme to inflate that song. here to unpack it all is chloe and danny cevallos. chloe, we should note that universal music group is not a part of nbc universal but those

who forget, remind us how this all came to be. where is this beef stemming from? >> this beef goes back years. it dates back as far as 2013. they have been putting these disk tracks out against one another and they used to be friends. they used to collaborate and they did music together. then things went south and things reached a fever pitch over the summer. this is just this massive breaking point and music fans is all they can talk about. looks like the beginning of a lawsuit. i'll let's danny weigh in on that. this is a petition from drake's music team saying universal music group and both artists a part of universal music green. that umg took part in illegal practices to promote kendrick lamar's summer hit "not like that." that they used bots and paola known to artificially enhance his hit that it supposedly was a

billboard hot 100 number one hit for weeks on end but that really umg did this in a deceiving manner. i just want to point out that universal music group says that we employee the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotion campaigns and this is completely not true. we are tating -- waiting to hear back from kendrick lamar. >> danny, take these claims one at a time starting with those allegations of illegally boosting that disk track "not like us." is that legally if it's happening and does it matter the company represents both artists here? >> it could be. just because it's not illegal in the sense that it may not violate a criminal statute, it could potentially violate, for example new york's false advertising act, you know,' deceptive businesses practices act and it could be something that unlawful or intentionally interferes with existing

contracts. creative pleader can allege all kinds of different tort violations. those are civil wrongs as opposed to criminal wrongs. this is going in the civil direction and may include allegations of civil, not necessarily criminal, civil rico, the same kind of interference with contracts that civil rico provides damages for. >> what about drake's defamation claims? he is not actually taking action notably against kendrick, at least not yet. the music label is who he is targeting saying the company knew kendrick was falsely accusing him of being a sex offender and some things that came up in lyrics of songs. how could those claims hold you will -- up legally? >> these are not lawsuits. i filed these in new york dozens of times pup you think you have a case against some defendants. but you want to get some discovery to find out who the real bad guys are.

it's possible that the two named respondents here we are talking about may not end up being defendants at all but i think they will. because someone is not a named defendant in this petition doesn't mean at all that they won't end up being a named defendant ultimately in a civil complaint for damages. what we are looking at in these petitions, they are not for damages. they are only for asking the court to say, hey. freeze all of these documents and give us some of these documents and whether or not you end up suing these guys. >> we are still waiting to hear from kendrick as well. thank you both. thank you both. stl il when a tough cough finds you on the go, a syrup would be... silly! woo! hey! try new robitussin soft chews. packed with the power of robitussin... in every bite. easy to take cough relief, anywhere. chew on relief, chew on a ♪ robitussin ♪ have you tried these new febreze car vent clips? the new intensity dial gives you total control. i can turn it up...

projections are up this year. starting today until december 2nd. today and tomorrow are among the busiest days to travel this thanksgiving holiday. these security lines have been have had a steady flow of passengers all morning. tsa says they project to screen more than 18 million people. that is up about 6% from last year. while today and tomorrow are expected to be the busiest days before thanksgiving, it's also expected to be busy. for those who want to take the train to their destination. records projected to be broken there as well. i think especially for thanksgiving when things are already so stressful, there's something nice about having somebody take the wheel, not needing to stand in tsa lines and seeing a beautiful america pass you by. speaking of leaving things behind, sunday is the busiest day to travel after the holiday. you are advised to get to the airport at least two hours before your flight or earlier in case there are dreaded delays or cancellations. dozens of flights are delayed

forcely putting him face down on the ground. according to court records, the officer did not show up on on monday in court and the traffic tickets were dismissed. hill is asking for the officer to be fired. the officer remains on administrative leave. we are following a move just announced by the incoming trump administration that could have a major impact on your wallet. president-elect trump vowing last night that as soon as he takes office he'll hit the three biggest trading partners with significant new tariffs and specifically mr. trump said he'll legislative a 25% tariff on all goods from canada and mexico, plus an added 10% tariff on china. here to explain is nbc senior business correspondent christine romans. mr. trump is insisting that the cost of all this will ultimately be paid for by our trade partners but experts suggest it may fall on everyday americans. walk us through that. >> the way the import tax actually works is let's use, for example, container full of tomatoes coming from mexico.

that container crosses the border at the port of entry or customs officials then write a check or write a bill for the import tax, 25%. that is handed to the importer. the american company that imports it. the mexican government doesn't pay it. the american importer does and passes that it along to the wholesaler and retailer and they pass it to the consumer. that is how that works there. it could raise prices for americans for all kinds of different goods. >> to that end, right? all kinds of goods. are there specific industries or products that might see the most price hikes here? >> i think groceries and autos, most experts say right away you will see most of this. think about the auto industry. canadian auto industry and u.s. auto industry are intertwined and parts crossing borders sometimes multiple times. you put 25% tariffs on that every time it's moving and assuming there is a retaliation from other countries putting tariffs on goods as well, it

gets into a trade war type situation. donald trump said we need to have a global reordering of trade and it could be painful. this is the pain looks like in the near term, higher prices for american consumers. >> talk about aforementioned trading partners, canada, mexico, china. what are they saying about this? >> what is so interesting is china has been in the sights of the administration before. we have had a trade war with them in 2018 and 2019. let me read to you what china says. china basically saying that no trade war ends well. right? you know, u.s. china trade is mutually beneficial in nature. no one will win a trade war or tariff war. we have also heard from the canadians who have been talking to the u.s. overnight as well and we have also heard from the mexico delegation but in terms of the deputy prime minister in canada and the united states have one of the strongest and closest relationships

particularly when it comes to trade and border security' we will continue to discuss these issues in the incoming administration. the leader of mexico saying in her letter you don't use tariffs to fix problems with migration patterns and american consumption of drugs. this is something donald trump said last night. this is to punish countries for migration and drug importation. it's a very interesting sell what will be a very muscular trade stance from the united states. big news today for the millions of american looking to start using those increasing popular weight loss drugs. the biden administration announcing a new proposal that would require medicare and medicaid to start covering those medications. the drugs can cost up $1,000 a month if you're paying out of pocket. 7 million people would qualify for these benefits if the proposal goes through. let's bring in our white house correspondent. mike, some of these medications

are covered by private insurance, even medicare and medicaid for certain conditions. i'm thinking of diabetes. what exactly is this new proposal changing and how much would it cost? >> reporter: you're right. these drugs are expensive but they are popular and they are effective. what the biden administration wants to do is expand those who might have access to it. the issue is that existing federal law prevents the federal government programs medicare and medicaid from covering these medications solely for the purpose of weight loss. the biden administration is proposing to do with this new regulation is reclassify obesity as a chronic condition. one that could potentially open the door for more people to get cover for it. the argument is these are expensive but that by covering more people by making these drugs available, you could potentially prevent some of the other conditions that are following from obesity more like cardiovascular health and ultimately could be a bigger drain on the federal entitlement program system. allies in congress are supporting it but saying the drug companies need to do more

to lower these prices for the general public. >> mike, we are just about 55 days away from president-elect donald trump taking office. can this proposal take affect before the new trump administration begins and do we know if they support it? >> reporter: 55 days is an important date because regulation that the administration issued today triggs 60-day public comment period. so the final decision ultimately on this going through will be made by the trump administration. you look at the potential head of hhs, rfk jr. criticized the weight loss medications saying the real answer is healthy eating. dr. oz has praised these medications effective and on his show have people benefiting from them. it's a question for the new administration whether they want to reverse a popular decision here. >> thanks so much, mike. this week is supposed to be

the usiest thanksgiving travel week area. our senior correspondent they had to melt a

>> military to deploy assets into the region including

aircraft carriers, fighter squadrons, sophisticated air defense battery to defend israel and the tour our common enemy at critical moments. since the war in hezbollah began, over 70,000 israelis have been forced to live as refugees in their own country, hopelessly watching their homes and businesses, communities as they are bombarded and destroyed, and over 300,000 lebanese people have also been forced to live as refugees in their own country. all told, this has been the deadliest conflict between israel and hezbollah in decades. how many senior leaders are dead, including their longtime leader and is real has destroyed cell phone reception, as well, including miles of

sophisticated tunnels which were prepared for an october 7 style terrorist attack in northern israel but lacking security for the people of israel lebanon cannot be achieved only on the battlefield and that is why director mike came to work with the governments of israel and lebanon to forge a cease-fire, to bring a conflict between israel and hezbollah to a close. under the deal reached today, effective at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, local time, the fighting across the lebanese- israeli border will end. will end. this is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities. what is left of hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be alone, i emphasize, will not be allowed to threaten the security of israel again. over the next 60 days, the lebanese army and state security forces will deploy and take control of their own territory once again.

hezbollah terrorist in the structure in southern lebanon will not be allowed to be rebuilt and over the next 60 days, israel will gradually withdraw its remaining forces. and, civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities and begin to rebuild their homes, their schools, their farms, the businesses and their very lives. we are determined this conflict will not be just another cycle of violence and so, the united states, with the full support of friends and other allies, has pledged to work with israel and lebanon to ensure this arrangement is fully implemented , the agreement, totally implemented. there will be no u.s. troops deployed in southern lebanon. this is consistent with my commitment to the american people to not put u.s. troops

in combat in this conflict. instead, we, along with france and others, will provide the necessary assistance to make sure this deal is implemented fully and effectively. let me be clear. if hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to israel, israel retains the right to self- defense consistent with international law, just like in the country when facing a terrorist group pledged to that country's destruction. at the same time, this supports lebanon's sovereignty and so will herald a new start for lebanon, a country that has seen most of over the years, a country with a rich history and culture. when fully implemented, this deal can put lebanon on a path toward a future that is worthy of its significant past. just as the lebanese people deserve a future of security and prosperity, so to the people of gaza. they, too, deserve an end to the fighting and displacement. people of gaza have been through

hell, their world shattered. far too many civilians have suffered too much. we have worked for months and months to negotiate a cease-fire hostage deal. so now, hamas has a choice to make. their only way out is to release the hostages, including american citizens which they hold. and in the process, bring an end to the fighting, which would make possible a surge of humanitarian relief. over the coming days, the united states will make another push to turkey, egypt, qatar, and others to achieve a cease- fire in gaza to see the hostages released in the end of the war without hamas and possible -- in power as it becomes possible.

today's announcement brings us closer to realizing the permanent agenda i have been pushing forward during my entire presidency, a vision for the future of the middle east with peace, and prosperous and integrated across borders. a future in which palestinians have a state of their own, one that fulfills its people's legitimate aspirations, when the cannot threaten israel or harbor terrorist groups with backing from iran. the future of israeli and palestinians enjoy equal measures of security, prosperity and dignity. to that end, the united states remains prepared to conclude a set of historic deals with saudi arabia, to include a security pact and economic assurances together with a credible pathway for establishing the palestinian state, and the full normalization of relations between saudi arabia and israel , a desire they both have.

i believe this agenda remains possible and in my remaining time in office, i will work tirelessly to advance the vision for an integrated, secure, and prosperous region, all of which strengthens america's national security. getting all this done will require making some hard choices. israel has been bold on the battlefield. iran and its proxies have paid a very heavy price. now, israel must be bold in turning tactful games against iran and its proxies into a coherent strategy to secure israel's long-term safety, and advance a broader peace and prosperity in the region. today's announcement is a critical step in advancing that vision and so i applaud the courageous decision made by the leaders of lebanon and israel to end the violence. it reminds us that peace is possible and say that again. peace is possible. as long as that is the case, i

will not, for a single moment, stop working to achieve it. god bless you all. sorry to keep you waiting so long. may god protect our troops. thank you. >> mr. president, will you get a cease-fire in gaza before leaving office? >> [ inaudible ] >> how does this look any different from the previous one? >> [ inaudible ] >> mr. president, what have you told the new administration? >> we will try to get a readout of what the president said in response to those questions shouted from the press corps, but the president making major news here describing a cease- fire deal between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. he said the fighting will cease at 4:00 a.m. local time in that region.

this is not linked to the situation in gaza with hamas although the president is clearly hoping to leverage the process -- progress they have made in lebanon to perhaps secure a deal with regard to that war. i want to go to our chief international correspondent. what else did you observe? >> just hours away from that moment that president biden said will mark the beginning of this cease-fire, president biden has gotten what he has been trying to get for a long time, a cease-fire in israel. perhaps not everything he wanted, not a cease-fire in gaza, but for lebanon, and the president was left to outline some of the detail. you mentioned the time. he says it is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities, the lebanese army will be deployed. the cease- fire will be supported by u.s. and allies.

particularly, he mentioned france to ensure that it is fully implemented, and he tried to walk that line and saying that israel has the right to defend itself even after the cease-fire, and at the same time, the u.s. supports lebanon's sovereignty. we did hear from prime minister netanyahu just a few hours ago before the full vote of the israeli cabinet, saying that he recommended the cease-fire but also saying that israel has the right to opened fire again on hezbollah, even if, for example, it begins to build tunnels again so prime minister netanyahu, and i think you heard president biden there, too, trying to reassure a skeptical israel with people that this will not lead to the return of hezbollah in years to come.

prime minister netanyahu talked about hezbollah having been defeated for decades, but hasn't been fully defeated? no, it has not. many of its leaders have been killed. many, many people have been killed. another question, too. will those tens of thousands of israelis in the north be able to return to their homes? there are many in those communities who think that will not be possible even now because they fear a resurgence of hezbollah, so there are going to be questions. this is a cease-fire. i think it is a tentative cease- fire, even despite, you heard president biden there, talking about a permanent sustained cessation of hostilities. >> all right, keir simmons with us, thank you very much and of course, we should note this. the plan is for this deal to play out over a 60-day period, at which point, israeli forces would be slowly withdrawing tonight but reminding tonight

that it will plan to enforce the terms of this deal. i want to go to andrea mitchell. andrea, you heard the president make a turn into the situation in gaza with hamas. this deal does not cover that, but how much momentum does that potentially offer to get a deal done there, as well? >> u.s. officials believe this does weaken and isolate hamas, so many of the hostage families who are so desperate to get their families home, the seven americans, the others, the israelis. they believe there are maybe 90 to 100, maybe half of them are still alive. it has been more than a year, and this breakthrough here, i'm told by the senior u.s. officials, was breaking the link between hezbollah backed by iran, demanding that there be a total cease-fire in gaza first before they would negotiate anything, and finally the u.s. said let's separate the two, and that is a big

burden, of course, for the hostage families and the people. the israelis as well as the palestinians are primarily suffering the horrors described by president biden just now in gaza but the fact was that they felt they had to do lebanon first and get hezbollah to agree to that because israel was frankly also exhausted by two friends, and the israeli army wanted this deal in lebanon so that they could focus on netanyahu's demands that they finish the job with hamas and gaza. the political background here is that the former defense official was fired, the defense minister said in july that hamas was done, as much as they could accomplish, and that they could be done in gaza but wanted to focus on the north. there was a lot of support in israel for focusing on the north, getting those 90,000 people in their homes who were evacuated from that area. at the same time, 1 million

lebanese, according to lebanese officials, had to be evacuated from their homes. many can start returning now but ther daily. we have some breaking news right now. the fbi has arrested an animal rights extremist believed to be behind a pair of bombings in the east bay. the agency says he was on the run for more than two decades before his arrest in wales. the fbi says danielle san andreas, san diego, set off two homemade explosives back in 2003. one outside a biotech company in emeryville and then a nutritional company in pleasanton. the fbi believes san diego bombed those companies because they had worked with a lab conducting animal experiments. he spent 20 years as a fugitive. but police in wales arrested him yesterday following his arrest. the fbi said, quote, there's a right way and a wrong way to express your views in our country and turning to violence and destruction of property is not the right way.

it is the start of the holiday season also means the start of respiratory virus season. covid and flu cases are low, right now, but health experts say the advice is still to mask up. many bay area counties are ordering health care workers to wear masks when providing patient care. no such requirements for regular folks, but that's actually not the case in several counties. masks are required for patients as well. sonoma county interim health officer says it's important to take steps to protect your loved ones. so any little thing that we can do, particularly even in family gatherings, if you have members of your family who are particularly vulnerable either either because they're elderly or because they have an immunosuppression, you know, their immune system doesn't work well. it's really important to remember that and try to protect those people as much as possible. it's too late to get your vaccines before thanksgiving for to get full

effect and full immunity, but there's still time if you get it now before christmas and new year's. we are tracking sunshine for thanksgiving. good news there. here's meteorologist kari hall with our 7-day forecast. we're still watching some spotty showers. other than that, it's going to be cloudy and cool today with highs in the low 60s and tonight much colder with a low of about 40 degrees into the next several days. many of our inland valleys will be close to freezing to start out with highs in the low 60s and thanksgiving holiday, we'll see a high of about 58 degrees and a nice dry weekend, but definitely jacket weather as we are going to see no significant storms coming our way and looking good as well for san francisco, even though it's going to be cloudy today, temperatures will still drop tonight and we're looking at highs near 60 into our holiday weekend and we'll be ri
