tradition returns the way glide memorial is working to help move the bay area forward and feed those in need this holiday. this is today in the bay. and this is thanksgiving day. good morning to you on this thursday. i'm marcus washington and i'm kyra clapper. laura has the holiday off. let's start with a look at the microclimate forecast with cinthia pimentel in for kari. it is jacket weather and heater weather as we start today. the northern and eastern half of the bay under this frost advisory until 9 a.m. so you might need to scrape some frost off of the windshield as you get those errands finalized. we go up there into the north bay 31 in santa rosa. it is cold, as well as over on in n danville 34 in livermore. there's some more 40s, though, along san mateo at 47. i've got you. and we do 39 in san jose. for the people getting ready for that turkey

trot. biggest one, i think, in the world in the u.s, if i'm correct, as we go on into the lunchtime hour, we get that sunshine, that warmth, 50s and 60s will carry us through a nice and dry thanksgiving day and even into the weekend as people stick around. or maybe you have some plans of your own. i'll be here to talk all about that full forecast in a few minutes. back to you. all right. thanks, cynthia. well, new details this morning in that fiery crash involving a tesla cybertruck in piedmont. city leaders there are encouraging mourners to gather later today. this is ahead of the piedmont turkey trot. this way, they will remember those three people who died. we've been following this story all along, since yesterday. here on today in the bay. and that's when a tesla truck crashed into that retaining wall, bursting into flames. we're now learning that the three people e who died all graduated just last year from piedmont high school, and they were all home for the holidays. one friend of the victims in a separate car, managed to pull someone from the burning vehicle with serious injuries. a former teacher just heartbroken. this shouldn't

happen to any kids. when you know them just makes it worse. leaders there in the city, they're really hoping that the this morning, where people will be able to gather and grieve together. the mayor plans to attend, and it will include a moment of silence. as for the exact cause of that crash, that's still under investigation. but speed right now is being looked at as a likely factor. marcus. we're going to turn now to new repercussions this morning in the controversy surrounding the san jose state women's volleyball team, boise state is now backing out of tomorrow's mountain west tournament semifinal in protest against the spartans alleged transgender player. it follows other tumultuous events for the team this week. a judge denied efforts that would have stopped that player from playing in the tournament. boise state had previously forfeited its two regular season games against the

spartans. it's not clear if the university or the team itself called for this semifinal withdrawal. but with boise state out, the spartans now move directly into saturday's championship game. and there are some really good news in this follow up for you on thanksgiving morning. one south bay family is thankful for a local nonprofit group after their car was targeted by thieves on monday. the crooks stole a customized wheelchair used by a teenage boy with cerebral palsy. the replacement cost would have been several thousand dollars, but volunteers from the wheelchair foundation heard about the story and delivered the boy a new chair just in time for thanksgiving. police, meanwhile, have not made any arrests. an annual thanksgiving tradition in san francisco is upon us. clive memorial's thanksgiving meal and celebration will feed thousands of people today. today, in the bay's ginger conejero saab is live at glide. this morning. and

ginger, the tradition continues a legacy that the glide community holds so dear. especially this year. that's right. good morning kyra and marcus, and happy thanksgiving. this thanksgiving is especially meaningful for the community here at glide because it's the first one after the passing of reverend cecil williams, a charismatic and well loved leader here at glide. he was really a leader that led this community for decades. 70 years in the making. what glide is today. he left a legacy that so many are thankful for, including carl robillard of glide. i know, carl, we've been talking about cecil all morning. his pictures are up. people are really still living with his legacy. this is such a big moment for glide. it's our first year without cecil here with us. of course he's with us in spirit. we are thrilled to have doctor gina fromer, our new ceo and president, taking his legacy,

moving it forward. but where i think people are really thinking about is, you know, he arrived in 1963. he turned really a dying congregation into a world renowned center for social justice, led not just glide, but san francisco through the gay liberation movement, through the civil rights era, the crack epidemic. you know, the reason all of us are here today serving meals and surrounding people with love is that legacy of which we're moving forward. you're saying rooted in love. that is where the volunteers are getting their inspiration, love for the community. tell us about what's going on here, because there's a lot of turkey. if turkey was if love was measured in turkey, we would definitely be winning the game today 100%. i love that. and yes, love is always the first ingredient at glide unconditional love. but we have 1,400 pounds of turkey that you're seeing carved right now. we have 70 hams that are going to get started. we're anticipating serving about 2400 meals. folks are already lined up. that will include a hot

breakfast, but really what people are waiting for is an 11 a.m. when we come back and these chairs are packed. this is a center. this is san francisco's community dining room. this is our dining room table. and we have hundreds of people who work for months to make. today possible. that's that's so true. you can feel that. i know, i just want to give a shout out to max because he shares his wisdom with carving turkey, carving ham. he shared it with me last year and now he's teaching this new first shift of volunteers here. and there are plenty more that he's going to, that he's going to help you navigate through this very busy morning. and let me tell you, max, we're so grateful. it's a art and a science and you can see the precision going on. we want people to get the best cuts of meat. we also want to use the whole bird. so we love having him here. all right. that's great. so what else are we waiting for today? i know there's some special guests coming too. yeah, we are very excited to have mayor breed join us. we have state comptroller

fiona ma state treasurer. sorry, state comptroller malia cohen and state treasurer fiona ma. we'll have our new supervisor elect, bilal mahmoud, here today. and we have hundreds of volunteers. we have so many people that come to glide as part of their thanksgiving tradition. and that's really the heart of why this legacy that began with reverend williams continues on because of the volunteers also, of course, because of people like you and the community here at glide. i have one more question that i want to ask before we have to wrap up of all the big names that come through and carve turkey, who's the best carver? i got to say, chief scott, he really knows to how wield his knives. he knows how to make it work, and he does it very gracefully. he's very good. all right. we're going to have to check it out again. i know i've seen chief bill scott, san francisco police chief bill scott carve turkey before, but he wins the wins the trophy for you. don't tell the others. but he's pretty good. all right, guys, marcus kira don't tell anybody. but we're going to have to check out chief scott's carving skills. we won't tell anyone. ginger. thanks. no one's

going to know. and there are a lot of people that have come through. oh, yeah. absolutely. all right. looks like a lot of fun. thanks, ginger. all right. it is 608 for you this morning. let's take a live look for you. right now over at palisades tahoe. you know what? this is one of the many sierra resorts likely to benefit from all the recent snow. palisades already reporting close to three feet of snow at the base. a few resorts have yet to open, but if you're still thinking about a late run to tahoe, well, driving conditions should be improved from just a few days ago. want to turn now to cinthia pimentel? okay, so cynthia, how long this weekend? how is it shaping up? because a lot of folks probably going to head to tahoe this weekend. yeah, and i think we are looking at some smooth sailing for people going up there or maybe some people that want to come down here into the bay area. once we see the sunrise, that camera and this one will just be even more gorgeous than it already is. but we did bring down those temperatures from the last time i showed you our live look there

down to 12 degrees. so please bundle up. even if the roads are going to be clear. those skies, those temperatures, skies will be lovely, but the temperatures will be cold in the e 40s. dayme highs low, teens in the overnight hours, but overall a nice weekend up there in the sierra. back here at home, we are going to continue with the cold mornings and that frost advisory until 9:00 today and tomorrow. possibly even stretching it into the weekend. but speaking of the weekend, we should see a nice one. sunny skies for all of those plans as we start to head into december and talk about christmas pretty soon, but we'll hold on for that for now. back to you. holding tight. all right. well, warning ahead of black friday. tomorrow. next here on today in the bay. the way scammers are targeting shoppers this year and what you need to watch out for. we'll take a look at what's open and what's closed. and in the news australia making some history. plus strangers turned family. the unusual text that brought that grandmother and young man together on thanksgiving and a

twist in this year's gathering. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay.

happy thanksgiving. let's go out towards walnut creek. we see clear skies and a cold morning right now, 39 degrees. we get into some 50s though as we head towards the mid morning hours and lots of sunshine in the east

bay and really bay area wide for all of the thanksgiving plans. i've got that forecast and a look at the weekend coming up. well good morning, very happy thanksgiving thursday to you. now you're not going to see any numbers behind me because the stock markets are closed today. we do have a half day tomorrow. if you need something last minute. safeway is going to be open today until six at most locations. walgreens that are normally open 24 hours will stay open. others will be closed. cvs with shortened hours. starbucks and whole foods says well, it depends on the location. closed are target, walmart, trader joe's, costco. this is hardly a complete list, but you get an idea of where you can go to get that stick of butter. reuters is the first to report the ftc has started a fresh investigation into microsoft for antitrust issues. the outgoing director, linda khan, saying that in the last few weeks of the biden administration, not clear what the trump administration may do, but remember, they're the ones

who launched the antitrust case against google. some historic news out of australia this morning. the country has passed a law banning anyone under 16 from using social media. everything from facebook to reddit to snapchat off limits. they cannot create accounts. the legislation will not take effect for a year, as lawmakers work out to how implement it. but it's a first in the world law and the social network blue sky says it's adding content monitors as fast as it can, as user usership skyrockets, blue sky looks exactly like the old twitter works the same way as old twitter before elon musk bought it, changed it to x power users. people with tens of thousands of followers who moved to blue sky say they like it a lot better. i have 90 odd thousand on twitter, but even as it grew, i wasn't getting that much engagement with blue sky. when i had five, i had like 60 something thousand. now, even when i had 5000 people, it was more lively because the anti bot

stuff is stronger. but also peop are more engaged. people want to be there. twitter, like many social networks and i think blue sky will become this one day as well, is a place they feel they have to be. but blue sky feels more fun, at least for now. meanwhile, a study of online influencers show most of them don't double check their facts before they post. unesco. that's the united nations education arm, says six out of ten content creators pass ang news and other information to their followers that they heard about, but they didn't actually research. back to blue sky. i've stopped posting to twitter, and i'm doing blue sky and the key is not whai'm saying on on blue sky, it's that everyone i followed on twitter is on blue sky. so i can, you know, the people i e enjoy and enjoy keepg up with, they're there. it's easy to set up. i was trying to look, i got i finally got into blue sky and i don't think i ever followed through. right. i know you had to like, sign up before. yes, there was a there was a waiting period that is over. i finally got in. now it's

like signing up, but anything else? it's real simple. i don't know that there are other kira klapper out there, but you may want to or not. well you may well, there are a couple scott mcgrew out there. one is a coast guard guy, one sells insurance in maryland. so true. true stor. and they're all incredibly handsome. but get on, you know, take your name before somebody else gets it. good call i did that. do it. yeah, right. but i have to read this story first. okay. thanks, scott. 16 past the hour. black friday is tomorrow. of course, shoppers are being warned about a new scam. it's called a brushing scam. scammers use public information to send packages to the victims. once the delivery is confirmed, the scammers then use your information to create a profile online and give fake reviews to boost their product sales. another version of the scam will ask victims to scan a qr code and register a product, or reveal who sent it to them. but experts say scanning a fake qr code can reveal your own banking information to those scammers. so the advice is always update

your passwords. be careful with packages. a lot of qr codes these days, you can't even click on geez. oh my goodness. well, let's talk about this because a new twist to an unusual thanksgiving friendship forged completely on accident. you've probably heard this story. it started nine years ago. arizona grandma wanda dench accidentally texted a teenager named jamal hinton to tell him what time thanksgiving was happening at her house. well, he texted back, you're not my grandma. but jokingly asked if he could still come when she said yes, that was the start of this new beautiful tradition. well, this week hinton tweeted that he is hosting for the first time this year and she will be attending. dench is now widowed and recently diagnosed with cancer. so you can be sure today will be extra special. jamal paying paying back wanda for all she's done. it's just amazing. beautiful love that. all right. cynthia is here with a look at

our thanksgiving day forecast. it is a chilly one, so people that are at home watching us bundled up under the blanket. i hohope you're somewhere warm ths morning and clear skies. beautiful sunrise coming up over palo alto there, but cold, 37 degrees palo alto at 39, as well as down here in san jose. but it's a different story out there in the city at 47 degrees. and those clear skies where it's not so clear is parts of the central valley. we're seeing some of the fog clearing up from chico through sacramento, but it is still part of parts of the central valley down into the 99. if you're going down into merce, fresno, that area, that's with us until at least 11 this morning. so just drive carefully as far as where we're headed for today. lots of sunshine dry for thanksgiving. remember a week ago when we were talking about storms? glad th's cleared out for us to enjoy 60 in the city for today. 62 up in ukiah. if you're traveling north and we get a lot of upper 50s in the east bay from concord over on

into livermore with 64 degrees down here in los gatos. now, as we take a look ahead forward, we are going to look at another frost advisory that will take effect tonight into tomorrow. and you'll start to feel that chill. if you're having some of those outdoor plans for thanksgiving tonight. so make sure you tell your guests to bundle up there. we will start our morning again in the 30s and 40s. for those black friday shopping deals. if you're heading for those in the morning hours to a look at our early december people coming back from their holiday travel up and down, the state looks pretty clear. maybe still some areas of fog that will continue to watch here in our weekend morning shows. but so far so good for a dry start to december. we'll see what happens with that green that started to pop up towards the end of next week, but for now, our inland seven-day forecast looks like this. lots of sun icons on there. grateful for the sunshine and dry weather. 60s will turn into maybe some mid to upper 60s as we go through the first couple of days of december. after we have those cold mornings, the

san francisco peninsula also looking stunning for everybody that's coming into town, or just enjoying a little staycation. not bad there. 60s and some mid 60s. also, as we trend towards a dry start to december, i did want to take a look at the roads though. there are some issues that i'm watching and this one stuck and actually blocking the on ramp around cesar chavez. that's 280 south. if you have somewhere to go, your alternate would be 101. what i'm learning here is that there are some muni busses that are stuck behind this. remember that some of our transits are running on a different schedule, so if your bus is stuck there, make sure to check with the muni schedule and see when your next bus is coming back to you. all right cynthia, thanks. 621 right now. okay. so do you have questions when you're cooking your turkey? if so, i want you to stick around because we're going to talk about that famous hotline you can call today to get some advice. you sounded so serious. yeah, i have a question. well, a

good turkey is serious. yeah, right. right. great point. we'll be right back.

and you need some help. you can always look up tips online, but did you know you can also call an expert for help? the butterball turkey talk-line is back open for its 43rd season. we spoke to one of their experts who reminds us, don't wait until

the last minute to thaw your turkey. of course, i'd consider this the last minute, wouldn't you? it takes 24 hours to thaw 4 pounds of frozen turkey, which means a 20 pound turkey can take up to five days. and always use that meat thermometer when it comes time to cook. have your meat thermometer ready because that will tell you when your turkey is actually done. 170 in the breast, 180 in the thigh. and if you're stuffing it 165 in the center. but honestly, it's so easy to do a butterball turkey that even the most inexperienced cooks can make a wonderful thanksgiving. the butterball turkey talk-line is open through christmas eve. the number is one 800 butterball, or you can also. text (844) 877-3456. that's kind of easy number to remember 3456. yeah, just like your phone number. yeah, sure. all right. so our bay area proud series highlights stories of kindness, generosity and inspiration. well, this morning story. what fits squarely into that third

category. yeah it's the story of a north bay man doing incredible things. even after getting his own terrible news. our garvin thomas has his story. good morning everyone. i have a story about a north bay nurse and triathlete that really can only be described as inspirational. jonathan pascal has been doing triathlons for 25 years. enough, in fact, that he qualified for a spot at the kona ironman world championship in 2022. but when he had trouble breathing during training and started fainting, jonathan went looking for answers. the answer was cancer, a rare one with no cure. he was told he had five years. jonathan vowed to make the most of that time. he started walking to stay active and found it helped him feel better. so he ran. after completing a trail race, jonathan decided to challenge himself and achieve that dream of doing kona. months of exhausting tining paid off this past october, when jonathan finished the triathlon. he

didn't come in first, but he experience the whole story at nbc bay area.com/bay area proud, as well as hundreds of other stories of people being good to each other in the bay area. oh my gosh, the best stories ever. always. yeah. thanks, robin. well, we got a lot more ahead for you at 630. stick around because the countdown to macy's thanksgiving day parade is on. we're going to take you live to new york city, where all the balloons and the floats and the bands are lining up ready for you. ♪ you know i'm a dreamer ♪ ♪ but my heart's of gold ♪ ♪ just one more night ♪ ♪ and i'm coming off this long and winding road ♪

though i have such sympathy for all of the performers right now. at 630 at christmas tradition in the bay area may be in trouble. the reason the nutcracker ballet may not take the stage in san francisco, lacing up before eating the silicon valley turkey trot is back. we are live in the south bay with everything you need to know. if you're thinking about running this thanksgiving morning, and we'll tell you what key funding it does for the bay area. and speaking of tradition, the final preparations underway for this year's macy's thanksgiving day parade and new york city, all those balloons, the excitement. it's going to be right here on today in the bay. thanksgiving day, so much to be

thankful for. yes, we're thankful for you all this morning. we are. thank you for joining us. i'm marcus washington, and i'm kira klapper in for laura garcia, who is surely grateful for a morning off. let's start with a look at the forecast. cinthia pimentel is in for kari and track. and, mike, i guess we could say and tracking what we could expect doing double duty to keep everybody informed on this thanksgiving morning. trying to ease off all of your thoughts about the dinner. let's focus on the forecast for right now. it is a chilly start. let's look together and find the coldest number on the map. 33 in clear lake. there is a frost advisory up there in the north bay. 34 as you make your way down into santa rosa, san jose, and in morgan hill, we've got some 40s as we make our way into the east bay. 41 in brentwood. good morning to you. here's what i want you to know. as we go through the day, you might be traveling through the central valley to get to some destinations there. i want you to watch out for that valley fog. this morning. give yourself enough space there into the

afternoon. should be a nice one. stunning skies, cold though again as we go on into the evening hours. but the weekend is also shaping up to be a good one. i have the full forecast coming up in a few minutes. back to you. sounds good. cynthia. thanks. a bitter contract dispute could impact this year's nutcracker performances in san francisco. who doesn't love that music? opening night right now is still scheduled for december 6th at the war memorial opera house. but sf ballet and the union are currently at an impasse. after five months of talks. one union rep tells us most performers are considered low income in the city and they need better benefits. we've seen injury levels really grow in the past couple of years. we've seen the workers comp costs for san francisco ballet really jump up, which is not not great for the

company or for the artist. in a statement, s.f. ballet management says, quote, our proposed salary increases for dancers and stage management continue to align with those offered by our peers, including american ballet theater and new york city ballet, ensuring competitiveness and fairness within the industry. well, it's thanksgiving, and that means turkey trot time again in san jose. you know, thousands of runners and walkers, for that matter, are gathering later this morning. today in the bay's thom jensen is live at the starting line of the 20th annual silicon valley, turkey trot. i was trying to look and see you're still all alone out there, tom. we're getting a few more people here. there's a few more volunteers definitely showing up in the past half hour or so. but we're still, you know, two hours from race time. very cold out here. we're seeing everybody really bundled up as they come out. we expect to see 20,000, more than 20,000 racers and

walkers again this year. this is the largest thanksgiving day run like this in the nation. more than 26,000 volunteers over the years have contributed over the past 20 years to the turkey trot, and more than 300,000 runners and walkers have participated. it's one of the major donors to nonprofits like healthier kids foundation, second harvest, and many more food pantries. the silicon valley leadership group partners with and is sponsored by applied materials and puts on theace. it has contributed to more than $13 million back to the community over the past 20 years of the turkeyrot. this participation has translated to 10 million, literally over 10 million meals for those in need. in our community. so you're staying in shape, you're having fun with your family, but you're making a real contribution to help. there are five k and ten k

races that both of those start at 830 this morning. you don't have to run. you can run or walk or combination of both. there's even a kids fun run that starts at nine this morning. and if you don't feel like coming down, you can still donate at spivey. turkey trot.com. registration for the run is actually open until race time at 830, so you can still go on to the website right where you make those donations at sv turkey trot and register to come down either for the five k or the ten k, or bring your kids down for the kids fun run at nine this morning. we expect a lot more racers to start showing up. runners, walkers and more volunteers in the next half hour or next hour or so as this really gets heated up for this giant race that's so important for feeding these food pantries and food banks around the bay area, especially this time of year, and especially right now because the need is so great. we're live in san jose, thom jensen, today in the bay. oh, tom, you're the best. thank you

so much. okay, so if you want to know how to safely feed your family this thanksgiving, which i'm sure we all do, we found some answers for you. so we chatted with the staff over at the usda about how to thaw that turkey and just the safe temperatures you need to know about this holiday season. so if you have a frozen turkey, you can thaw it in cold water, but you need to change that water every 30 minutes. also, make sure you check the use by date on the turkey's packaging. and how about leftovers? well, experts say that they will be safe for up to four days with proper storage and on the fourth day you get to decide if you're going to eat it, throw it away, or save it for another day by freezing it. and if you freeze it, just know that food stays indefinitely safe if it's frozen, but the peak quality is within 4 to 6 months. okay, so if you're doing the math there, you can enjoy leftovers as late as july. i'm going to say don't do that one. but if you want to hey, go for it. all right. so if you have any questions while cooking today, just hit up the

usda meat and poultry hotline. that number is 1888 mp hotline. i just don't have enough space in my freezer. i just got a lot of stuff. i got to make room for new stuff. exactly, exactly. well, happening later this morning, the annual holiday spectacle returns to new york city. the macy's thanksgiving day parade. yeah, and today in the bay's jay gray is live along the parade route. our friend, we love seeing every year. jay, there's lots of buzz surrounding this year's parade balloons. oh, it's going to be a great parade. yeah. kira and marcus talk about frozen turkeys. that's what i am right now. out in all this rain. goku heading by the goku character float. i don't know if you can get a look at goku. it's kind of tough to get a view here, but there he goes. and 17 character balloons. this year, including for the first time, minnie mouse. have we had a parade without minnie mouse? that does not seem right, but she led the character balloons,

who made their way out and onto the two and a half mile parade route, raining all morning, and it seems to be picking up a bit right now. hasn't put a damper on the crowd, though. the crowds are packed along the parade route. we saw folks out here, families at two 3245, getting their spot along the parade route to make sure they had a good view and no umbrellas. you can't bring an umbrella if you're in the crowd. you don't want to block the view and things like that. so you you've got a lot of ponchos, a lot of raincoats and a lot of people just getting soaked out here. but having a great time. you've got all of the marching bands, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns. you've got 22 floats as well. it's just a spectacle and one that for so many people across the country, is really the start of their thanksgiving. and really of the holiday season. in fact, i didn't know this until this morning. but for the last three years, the broadcast of this parade, the most watched show each year on american television. so a lot of people

have this on in the background while they're cooking, getting ready for the football game, whatever is going on, everybody watching the parade. i hope you guys get the chance to do that, because it has been quite a show to this point and there are so many more floats and balloons to come. should be a lot of fun. oh yeah, what a great assignment, jay. year after year, happy thanksgiving. it's always great to see you and stay dry and go get a plate. yes. all right. don't forget a little delay there. all right? so don't forget you can watch that parade right here on nbc bay area. things are going to kick off for us at 830 this morning. now let's take a live look at sfo where holiday travel rush is in full force. triple a saying about 6 million people will be flying domestically this holiday season. more than 71 million travelers will hit the road, but while traffic might be a might be terrible out there for a lot of folks, gas prices surely aren't. the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gas is around $3.06 a gallon. so

this week, which is $0.20 lower than it was this time last year, prices will be higher if you're traveling on the west coast. of course, we know that. and some of those spots in the northeast, south and great plains are already seeing prices below $3. as for when to hit the road, well, triple a has some advice for us. we always said the wednesday before thanksgiving is the worst day to be traveling, and then that sunday is the worst. those are still pretty bad. but now, over the years, people not only have taken our advice and said, okay, i'm going to leave a day earlier or come back a day after, but also because of remote work and sort of this post pandemic trend that we're seeing, more people are leaving on tuesday and also returning on monday. triple a says that if it's possible, you and your family, the absolute best time to travel is thanksgiving day. yeah. all right. so that would be today. but now before you head out, let's get a look at that weekend weather with the forecast for cinthia pimentel. how is it looking for us? i think it's

looking good out here in the west. even if we do have to pay for some higher gas prices. let's look at this. it's pretty fun to look at together through bakersfield looking clear, bountiful also through parts of the mountain ranges here. there was some snow earlier this week that's cleared out. it is starting to push on east towards baker summit. we saw some rain there with our friend jay gray dealing with those rain showers. there's also some snow showers that are making their way up to sandwich. is it main i believe. anyways, that was just a little fun thing for you to get the thanksgiving mood started. if we were having some people stay here through the holiday weekend and you want to get them out the house, let's go on a hike and it's going to be pretty stable temperature wise out there towards muir woods. just bundle up. it doeset chilly among all the redwoods, but it's beautiful 60s and sunshine. there is a sharks game tomorrow. this one is a little bit earlier in the day. 1230 down here in san jose. mostly sunny skies and temperatures could climb up there into the mid 60s into the

afternoon. and once the game is over and you want to hang out in downtown san jose, should be a nice one. also, to kick off the weekend, let's extend that weekend down into la. maybe you haven't left yet. i would pack some light layers temperatures in the 70s that looks nice and comfortable. cloudy at times through tomorrow and saturday, but lots of sunshine and mid 70s to wrap it up on sunday. back to you. all right cynthia, thanks. a beloved san francisco giant is calling it a career. just ahead for you. new details on the celebration event now in the works. meanwhile, the niners are nearing a must win territory. the latest on the injury status of some key players for sunday night's game in buffalo. in politics, mark zuckerberg from facebook goes hat in hand to meet with trump at mar a lago. plus, we can all see there's something between you and derek. why do you keep fighting it? it's not like derek is just hanging out with us for fun. he's doing his job. a look at the highly anticipated hallmark christmas movie holiday. touchdown a chiefs love story ahead. we hear from the movie's

chevrolet together let's drive

in the middle east and gaza. as you can see, right here, a new round of israeli airstrikes have killed at least 17 people. this comes amidst new concerns about a frigid truce between israel and hezbollah. now, israel is already accusing lebanese militants of violating that truce, saying that its soldiers fired at suspects near the border. u.s. warnings on travel to china are easing this morning. this comes after this week's release of three u.s. citizens who had been detained there for years. it was part of a white house brokered prisoner swap. the state department is now lowering china's travel advisory to level two. the same as nations like france and germany. wrongful detentions were previously a sticking point in the advisory in keeping the advisory at three. that's the

second highest level. president elect donald trump, meanwhile, and the current president of mexico, are talking as trump threatens new sanctions. scott mcgrew incoming presidents need to be cautious about what they say. be careful. right. because they're not president yet. they don't speak for the united states. you remember the first incoming trump administration got mired in controversy after it was discovered general mike flynn was talking to the russians. now, no allegations of wrongdoing in this phone call between trump and mexican president claudia sheinbaum. they talked about border security, though, in competing posts on social media. the two didn't seem to agree on what they had actually agreed upon, if anything. sheinbaum is also had some tough talk at a press conference responding to trump's call for tariffs on mexico. she points out while there is a problem with drugs flowing from mexico to the united states, there's a gun problem. too many guns flowing from the united states to mexico. and said mexico could very well place

tariffs on american goods in response. meta. the old facebook says ceo mark zuckerberg visited trump at his mar a lago estate for dinner last night. zuckerberg, one of several ceos trying to curry favor with trump, has been highly critical of zuckerberg after facebook kicked him off the service. in fact, trump so dislikes zuckerberg it influenced trump's proposed ban on tiktok. trump is now not only in favor of not doing a tiktok ban, although it was his idea. it's because it would drive traffic to facebook. take a look. trump at one point writing on truth social. if you get rid of tiktok, facebook and zucker will double their business. it wasn't zuckerberg. trump used a crude yiddish word to make fun of zuckerberg's name. trump at one point also posted that teslas are prone to crash, and spacex launches rockets to nowhere. and now tesla ceo elon musk sort of works for him as the head of the

yet to be created department of government efficiency. musk has also been posting threats online, repeating threats to arrest american mayors who oppose immigrant deportations, and this week accusing retired army colonel alexander vindman of treason. vindman. that's alexander vindman, trump's former national security council member who testified at his first impeachment trial, has committed treason against the united states and must pay the appropriate penalty. now, for someone to publicly accuse another american, particularly a military officer wounded in battle of treason. unusual at best for the ceo of tesla, who holds no position of government authority. well, that's very unusual, marcus. all right. scott, thanks. well, let's take a live look outside at bay area roadways. happening now. a chp maximum enforcement period is in effect. so this is going to mean

extra officers are going to be out on patrols. chp saying that they want you to be sure to give yourself extra time to get to where you need to go. also, drive sober or designate a sober driver before that party even begins. well, turning for you this morning, hallmark channel. yes. kicking off the season with a holiday touch down. this is a love story about a chiefs fan that's not taylor swift. i feel like you got your voice all nice for that. we found a 49ers connection, though, in the movie. a young woman is trying to help her family. their family has been kansas city chiefs fans for generations, and they're ying to win fan of the year. but the director of fan engagement isn't totally sold on the family's lucky charm. and the family member isn't fully sold on the sparks her family says are flying between the two of them. if you're thinking that as a niners fan, you can't sit through a movie about the chiefs. listen to this. our writer is a she's a huge 49ers fan. so our writer can do this

and put it aside for the chiefs movie. i think everybody, no matter what team you root for, there is something in it for you. and you can imagine your team in there. yeah. it doesn't it doesn't like rub the chiefs in your face. you know what i mean? it sort of treats the chiefs as the beauty that it is and specific to it. but it's really broad for anybody who loves football or any sports for team that matter, will see themselves in it. you can catch holiday touchdown, a chiefs love story on the hallmark channel. it premieres saturday at 8 p.m, and we're going to turn to cynthia for a look at the forecast. i just watched planes, trains and automobiles. that was great to get into the thanksgiving spirit, but look at our live cam. no automobiles really over here through dublin 580. it is a quiet morning. yeah, i got to check on that. see what's going on in the traffic department. but clear skies and a cold morning. dublin is included in that frost advisory. that's with us until 9 a.m. goes up into the north bay, too, and down into the south bay

hills. and i'll tell you what, this is also going to be repeated tomorrow morning, so we'll be here to talk about that. but as far as planning our thanksgiving, those turkey trotters please wear another thermal, another layer. we are looking at 30s and 40s staying with us. the seven 8:00 hour nine even. and as we go on into lunchtime, people running around. at least there's no rain compared to last week. mostly sunny skies and temperatures this afternoon 62 in santa rosa, 60 along hayward. we do 59. if you find yourself out towards half moon bay, clearing your mind a nice walk along the beach and 64 as you make your way down into san martin. should be nice and dry. for thosevening plans, just make sure you bring a jacket because it will be cool into the evening. let's take a look at this. nationally, the west is going to start to warm up over the next couple of days as we make our intro into december. yes. so watch the 7-day forecast. there's lots of sunshine icons on the map day by day. we will be gradually

warming up and actually carrying us through into some mid 60s, so that will feel nice on the skin. aside from waking up to those cool mornings, the san francisco peninsula also in for some nice days ahead. cold mornings as we go on into our black friday shopping, but overall nice to get some sunshine for the next seven. back to you, cynthia. thanks. happening now, striking hotel workers in san francisco plan to hold a thanksgiving day protest on the picket lines near union square this week. about 500 more workers joined. what's already been a paralyzing strike involving some of san francisco's largest hotels. the union says 2500 workers are now striking, with workers at another eight hotels ready to join. hilton and marriott hotels have previously said they're negotiating in good faith, and we're back in just minutes with a look at our top stories this morning, including a thanksgiving tragedy for three families in the east bay. we're talking about that tribute the piedmont community is holding later this morning to remember the three recently high school

graduates who were killed in that fiery crash, and a glimmer of hope. the local nonprofit stepping in to help a child in need. this is after a wheelchair theft. keep it right here. we'll be right back

surrounding the san jose state women's volleyball team. boise state is now backing out of tomorrow's mountain west tournament semifinal in protest against the spartans alleged transgender player. a judge denied efforts to stop that player from playing in the tournament. boise state previously forfeited its two regular season games against the spartans, and with boise state out tomorrow, the spartans now move directly into saturday's championship game. one south bay family no doubt thankful for a local nonprofit group. this is after the car they owned was targeted by thieves on monday. well, crooks stole a customized wheelchair used by a teenage boy with cerebral palsy. now, the replacement cost would have been several thousand dollars, but volunteers from the wheelchair foundation delivered the boy a new wheelchair just in time for thanksgiving. police, meanwhile, have not made any arrests in that car. burglary and theft. a live look right now inside san

francisco's glide memorial. that's where volunteers are getting ready to feed hundreds of people ahead of their annual thanksgiving celebration and meal. this year's event will be an emotional one. after the death in april of church founder reverend cecil williams. the event is scheduled to get underway in the next half hour, with thanksgiving meals being served at 11 this morning. now to a live look in san jose. that's where what may be the largest race of its kind is going to get started in about 90 minutes from now. we're talking about the 20th annual silicon valley turkey trot and here is a look at that route for you this morning. nearly 20,000 people registered for this year's event. proceeds are going to help local nonprofits, including second harvest food bank. for anyone headed out. let's check in with cynthia for the forecast. hopefully the runners have some thermals. and, you know, eventually they'll get warmed up as you take that path. but for people going to support them, jacket weather not only in the south bay but around the bay. frost advisory today and tomorrow. but otherwise we have
