good morning. it is saturday, november 30th. we are taking a live look outside south beach harbor, right outside of oracle

park. a gorgeous morning and it is chilly out there as we bid farewell to november. thank you so much for starting the last day of the month with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast where folks may be headed out for small business saturday, and i need to tell them actually quite a lot of things this morning. good morning kyra. good morning everyone. we of course are starting with those below freezing temperatures up there in the north bay, santa rosa, 30 degrees under that frost advisory. and so is walnut creek. but look at our camera here. under that dense fog advisory. some places out there in the east bay, reduced to almost nothing, about a quarter of a mile concord out there towards the central valley, even worse. and it's trickling into parts of the north bay as well. so please just be careful with that. and then we get scenes like this. just a gorgeous sunrise starting to come over. san jose mid 40s. so after we mix out of the frost and the fog should be a pretty nice afternoon. but there's more to

talk about. i'm tracking the possibility of some spotty showers for our sunday, and then we mix it up once again, dry and mild to start december. i'll wait for you in my full forecast in about 15 minutes. back to you. as long as you get back to that dry. all right. cynthia. thanks. the tree is lit in san jose. hundreds came out last night for the opening of christmas in the park. it's a decades long holiday tradition for many south bay families, but this year, organizers are worried they may not be able to keep the lights on next year, as today in the bay's jocelyn moran reports, the one thing they're asking christmas light goers to do to help them keep the holiday spirit going right. four. three. two. one. the tree at christmas in the park in downtown san jose is officially lit, kicking off the most wonderful time of the year. thank you guys so much for coming out to our tree lighting ceremony. i want to see santa, the lights, the food, the hot chocolate on full display. are you excited? yeah. hundreds of

people made their way downtown for opening night, including san jose mayor matt mahan. it's great to see the park filled with so many families that included yameen and his family. their first time here. we've been here. it was around 5 p.m. like we wanted to be here early. well, for some this is their first time at christmas in the park. others have been coming here for around 40 years. my oldest is 40, so now i'm bringing the grandkids. but this year, organizers are asking for the community's help. the 44 year old tradition has lost several major sponsors. some of our sponsors that have been with us forever don't have the means to keep supporting us, and that's put them in a bind. organizers are hoping to raise at least $100,000 to help ensure next year's christmas in the park event can run as planned. donations can be made at plaza de cesar chavez or by purchasing tickets to the drive thru light show at history park. our drive thru over at history park is this beautiful light show, and when you buy a ticket for the

light show, you help us keep the lights on. here in the park. an event families say has become a tradition. it means a lot because i'm essed to still be here and i can still enjoy with the grandkids a tradition spanning generations brings a tear to my eye, i guess, but i miss others that have left us and i continue the tradition even if they're not with us, but in spirit. they are in san jose. jocelyn moran, nbc bay area news. well, it sure feels like we've been seeing black friday deals for the last week. but shoppers still flocked to san francisco's union square yesterday, buying gifts and enjoying the holiday atmosphere. san francisco police officers were visibly out for black friday as well. sfpd says they deployed officers not only to union square, but also to other popular shopping spots across the city. union square has seen many high profile thefts in the past. the city is reporting

crime is down there compared with this time last year. police acknowledging their presence has made the difference. everyone is out here to shop and enjoy the city, enjoy the restaurants, enjoy the sights. our police department is out here to make sure that no one does any anything bad. we want to be able to respond immediately to any incident that might occur in the area. police say they are exploring using different types of transportation to get across town, but note they are not allowed to use technology like drones to help respond to crime. and although those black friday crowds aren't what they used to be, people waiting outside in line overnight racing to grab the last item off the shelves. the long holiday weekend is already breaking records today in the bay. sergio quintana continues our coverage from union square. reporter throughout the day and well into the evening, the crowds of people in union square have been pretty consistent this black friday. shoppers have noticed

too. we come to san francisco about 2 or 3 times a year to visit, and this is probably one of the best times we've ever we've seen since we've been here. just as far as the city, the liveliness, the cleanliness. some business owners say they're also noticing a renewed buzz around union square. the energy is back in san francisco. people are wanting to go out. people are excited to be out again in san francisco and downtown, especially john constan jr with john's grill, says reservations through the holiday weekend filled up quickly. plenty of people are also packing into retailers enticed by the traditional deep discounts we're used to seeing on black friday. there are lots of people out here at union square on this black friday, but we have noticed something very interesting about a lot of the people out here. most are not carrying shopping bags. and people wee asked say it's becaue they're expected to do a good amount of their holiday shopping online. yeah, because there's just more deals and more to see.

and they say instead of having sales starting today, they've seen retailers kicking off sales a few days before thanksgiving. there are still a few lines here and there across the bay area on this black friday, but it's just different now. when you think back to black friday's before the pandemic, people used to camp out beginning thanksgiving day to get a doorbuster deal, and they would flood into a store as soon as they opened to get that must have holiday item. let go, let go. stop it. fights would even occasionally break out between people struggling to get a last sale item in stock, but so far, not this year. recently, for the past few years, i'm just like, order some stuff and just pick it up like and i noticed earlier, not a lot of people. there's not a lot in line anymore. according to the national retail federation holiday shopping is expected to increase slightly this year by as much as 3.5%, but it will be a combination of in-person and online purchases. sergio quintana today in the bay. new this morning a terrifying moment for a man in berkeley. he told

police three men, three people approached him and attempted to rob him using physical force. it happened around 130 this morning at channing way and telegraph avenue. the victim was able to get away without getting hurt. anyone with information or nearby cameras is asked to contact berkeley police. and we continue to learn more about that deadly car crash that claimed the lives of three college students home in piedmont for thanksgiving. usc says one of its students saw in dixon is among the three killed, although local authorities have not yet identified any of the victims. four people were in the tesla cybertruck when it crashed and caught fire early wednesday morning, the day before thanksgiving. all four were 2023 graduates of piedmont high. we've also learned that the lone survivor is 20 year old jordan miller. his father tells us he's a business student at the university of wisconsin to morgan hill, now, where crews

are looking into what caused this massive fire that damaged a large portion of a warehouse used by monterey mushrooms, said to be the largest grower of mushrooms in all of north america. firefighters say they know the fire originated yesterday morning at an office on hale and san bruno avenues, before it spread to nearby monterey mushrooms. it destroyed about half of that warehouse. thankfully, no one was hurt. new overnight canadian prime minister justin trudeau saying he had a, quote, excellent meeting with president elect donald trump, he told reporters as he exited his hotel in west palm beach, florida. trudeau reportedly flew to florida last night to have dinner with the president elect at mar a lago. trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all goods imported from canada and mexico, a move that could cripple trade across the continent. the president elect says he wants canada and mexico to stop the arrival of undocumented migrants and the

import of drugs from their borders into the u.s. here locally, today is game day for san jose state women's volleyball. the team is set to compete in the mountain west championship. this comes after yet another team forfeited its game against the spartans over a transgender player on the spartans squad. boise state forfeited its semifinal game, which then allowed sjsu to move into the championship spot. ncaa rules allow transgender athletes to compete based on certain conditions. earlier this month, a group of mountain west players, including a spartan teammate, filed a lawsuit to challenge that rule. on monday, a federal judge in colorado maintained that the, quote alleged transgender player can play. in his ruling, the judge stated that the plaintiff's position was weakened by not taking action sooner. a federal appeals court upheld the decision. the following day. these women have done everything they possibly could to allow

leaders and even judges to intervene and do the right thing at every single level. leadership has failed them. in response to boise state forfeiting the semifinal game, sjsu issued a statement saying it was disappointed by the forfeiture but that the spartans are getting ready for today's tournament final. they play against colorado state university. ten past the hour. right now, we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, if your weekend plans include a showing of wicked. a warning before you head to the movie theater, we'll explain why some fan

i've look outside at sfo. people have been flying in and out of the bay area on this long thanksgiving weekend weekend, and a record number of travelers hopped on flights. in fact, the faa reports a total of 232,000 flights across the u.s. just this thanksgiving week. on tuesday alone, more than 52,000 flights. cancellations and delays also were at a record low. to help with the record volume of travelers, the faa used special military airspace off the atlantic coast and the gulf of mexico, which is usually closed off to commercial aircraft. a historic trolley

coming back to the bay area. vta is reviving its 96 year old trolley car after a five year hiatus. our news partners at the san jose spotlight got a sneak peek. shared this video with us. the trolley car was actually built in italy. it was in service there for a few years for restoration. after that, the car was decorated and used as a holiday tram up until 2019. well, it's expected to make its return all weekends before and after christmas, although the exact schedule isn't finalized just yet. we'll keep you posted. check out this long line of people lining up to get into california's great america winterfest. last night it was opening night. a lot of people in the holiday spirit wanting to be among the first to experience the annual event. wow. look at all those people all the way back to levi's stadium. it looked like the park takes on a festive feel with added lights,

displays, holiday themed food and attractions. it runs all the way through january fifth, so you still have time. and if you plan on painting your face green to watch wicked, think again. at least if you're headed to a theater, wicked part one came out of course, last week. fans have been flocking to theaters. you've likely heard they're dressing up as their favorite characters, from the sparkling pink glinda to the green skinned elphaba. but according to the chronicle, theaters have been turning people with green face paint away says theaters like amc and cinemark ban face paint or anything that covers the face for security reasons. universal pictures, by the way, which shares the same parent company as us nbc bay area, produced wicked. great news here. quarterback brock purdy is expected to play in sunday's game against the buffalo bills tomorrow night. purdy missed last week's game against the green bay packers due to that

shoulder injury, but he did fully practice yesterday. despite that good news, the team will be without defensive end nick bosa and offensive tackle trent williams. tomorrow's matchup against the buffalo bills may be an uphill battle, though. this is video from south of bills stadium in erie, pennsylvania. snow is currently dumping across the northeastern part of the country. the national weather service has placed the area near the stadium under a, quote, lake effect snow warning. the niners aren't just getting ready for that big game. they're also prepping to offer rare memorabilia and one of a kind experiences to help give something back for the holidays. on tuesday, the 49ers foundation will hold its eighth annual holiday sports auction. some of the items being offered this year include a vip monday night football experience for the niners game against detroit. also, a meet and greet on the field with 49ers gm john lynch, and signed memorabilia from current and former players. the

foundation's executive director tells us it is all for a great cause. last year was a record breaking performance. we raised over 140,000, so we're hoping to replicate something along those lines and then knowing that every dollar that is raised is going to go back into the community and supporting bay area youth. the online auction runs over two days, so it's tuesday and wednesday. bids close at 7 p.m. december 4th. the niners and the bills battle right here on nbc bay area for sunday night football tomorrow. and to celebrate, we're hosting football night in the city, a watch party outside of thrive city and outside of chase center starts at 5:00 tomorrow night. fans can reserve a spot. it's free, but you have to reserve your spot online at nbcbayarea.com. slash football night. so how will the forecast be for the niners faithful traveling to buffalo and the niners faithful sitting outside

in san francisco tomorrow night. much better in san francisco than buffalo. that snow is already starting to come down, and i wanted to take a second to explain it to people who may have never heard that term before. with that lake effect snow warning. so here's what happens. the water temperatures in lake erie and the great lakes is relatively warmer than that cold air that is coming from canada. the surface about 20. so that's not bad, but it's that cold canadian air that rushes over lake erie and that just becomes a snow maker as it brings all of that moisture and turns into snow right there for parts of new york, parts of pennsylvania and ohio. and it creates just situations like this where it just impacts people on the roads, and it just dumps on people's homes with that high snow rate. and here's how it looks as we go on. i mentioned that it already started snowing there. we're looking into later tonight, into tomorrow. watch those contours turning into those purples, dark hues, maybe even some whites. we're not measuring this in

inches. we are measuring about 2 to 4ft that are possible for people going out there towards buffalo. but i hear that they're encouraging fans to bring the shovels. so we'll see how that goes. we're going to watch those temperatures come down into the low 30s, the 20s. but it's that wind chill factor that makes it even bitterly cold. so please, just prepare for this. and if you can't make it out there, we invite you to that watch party here in san francisco. so let's bring it back home. we are starting with that frost advisory until 9 a.m, 30s and some low 40s, and also that patchy fog that i showed you at the top of the hour. so lots of changes here that we'll deal with throughout the morning and then into the afternoon. getting into a nice one with some hazy sunshine at times through about the early afternoon hours. but will stay dry for people hoping to decorate outside. getting ready for the christmas season. watch as we go. san mateo bridge south that's where the more mild numbers are going to be. 67 in san jose, maybe even getting into some low 70s down in gilroy. we're going to keep 50s and seconds up towards the east bay and into wine

country. we could get a nice sunrise sunset as we go on into night, but watch those showers starting to trek on into parts of the east parts of the bay that could be just some very light showers as people make their return from their holiday weekend. about a 10th of an inch. if we could squeeze out that much after that. that's really all the moisture that i have for you in our 7-day forecast. we start that warming trend as we go on into tomorrow. watch for those upper 60s and low seconds to start our first couple of days of december and people in the san francisco bay area from out of town really in for a nice treat. if you can stretch that holiday into next week, we're going to see sunshine and mid 60s love that and so beautiful behind us too. cynthia. thanks 21 past the hour. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up. faced with a life threatening disease, a bay area man decided to do what he's been doing for the past 25 years anyway. complete a triathlon. his story

scare and continues to move forward despite the life threatening diagnosis. today, in the bay's garvin thomas has his story in this morning's bay area proud? it's easy. controlled breathing. there is a lot many of us can learn about living. it's always the best place to start. from how jonathan pascual has chosen to go about dying. although in jonathan's way of

thinking, they are pretty much one and the same, i wanted to do what is difficult because that's the way that i have always lived to face on the challenge full on. for 25 years, jonathan has been a nurse practitioner at ucsf, most recently working on their lung transplant team for the same amount of time. jonathan's also been a triathlete, competing in dozens of triathlons over the years. enough, in fact, to qualify for a spot in the 2022 kona ironman world championship in hawaii. so i started training in 2021 and the latter part of that year, i started having shortness of breath. i would walk up the stairs, i'll be short of breath. i'll go for a mile, run and my hands wod be on my knees and i'd say, my god, something's wrong. it was a rare cancer, one with a long name, but a short prognosis. jonathan was told, five years. there is no cure in

that hospital room. i already made that decision of how i would want to conduct my remaining years, what that meant to jonathan was spending time with his wife and son, still working and doing his best to stay active. as ill as he was, jonathan realized that walking made him feel better, so he tried a little running and that felt good too. i signed up for a trail run, and when i finished that run, i was so emotional and i said, oh my god, i did it. not only did he do it, but that dream of kona once again entered the picture. jonathan pushed himself like never before in preparation for the race, enduring pain and exhaustion while biking and running. but on the day of the race, he was terrified of the swim because of his particular ccer. being horizontal for long periods like

while swimming left jonathan out of breath. he now had to do that for two hours. he almost didn't make it. i thought jonathan, there were so many people who who believe in you this is not just about you. there are people who are fighting out there with their cancer and all their difficulties in life, and they believe in you. . so believe in yourself and just dig deep. seven mile speeds, seven miles. i can do it. seven miles. the rest of the race, while not easy, was something he knew. he could accomplish. and 16 hours after he starte, jonathan finished. jonathan fastrack he did not come in first, but he most definitely won. that's a

good way of putting it. i won in so many different ways. wow, garvin thomas what an incredible story. jonathan, you are our hero. 27 past the hour. we have much more ahead for you on today in the b bay. comi up today is small business saturday. we'll tell you about a unique way local entrepreneurs have created a one stop shop of sorts to make it (♪♪) no! leonidas. no, no, no, no! ikea?

ikea! shop a more convenient ikea with affordable delivery options and more. they get here thursday. (♪♪)

morning. it is saturday, november 30th. we are taking a live look outside. the sun is shining on the eastern span of the bay bridge towards a cloudy san francisco. as we say goodbye to november, the final day of the month and small business saturday. we want to thank you so much for starting it with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at the microclimate forecast. it sounds like a good day to get out today because you might have some rain on the way tomorrow. very light, spotty showers. yeah, but let's get out the second half of the day because there's a lot to talk about right now in the morning. microclimates indeed. low 40s down here for the south bay. but we get into some 30s up towards danville at 38. i've got you right now, but we go below freezing up into the north bay 30 degrees. right now in sonoma, the numbers are one thing, but look at those conditions as we look at some dense fog settling right there through san rafael. when we have those clear nights,

that radiation fog just takes form and it limits our visibility right now up there towards marin, through parts of concord, the delta. and it just gets worse as you drive out towards the altamont pass, getting into tracy and the central valley. so if you're going home later today, just watch for those changes in visibility. otherwise we'll get some spotty showers tomorrow. not bad. then get into a dry week ahead. i'll be back with that in about ten minutes. keir, back to you. all right, cynthia, thanks. we want to give you this live look downtown san jose. it's back. christmas in the park for the holiday season. hundreds of people gathered last night right there. plaza de cesar chavez for the lighting of the 65 foot tree. for 3 to 5. o christmas in the park has been a tradition in downtown san jose for more than 44 years. for many, we spoke with, it's the ideal way to get into the holiday spirit. there are dozens

upon dozens of trees decorated by local organizations and san jose schools and businesses, but this year, christmas in the park leaders are asking for your help. they have lost several major sponsors. they're hoping to raise $100,000 in donations this year to ensure that they can keep the lights on next year. some of our sponsors that have been with us forever don't have the means to keep supporting us. our drive through over at history park is this beautiful light show, and when you buy a ticket for the light show, you help us keep the lights on. here. donations can be made right there at plaza de cesar chavez or by purchasing tickets to the drive thru light show at history park. that's a great thing to take your kids to if you're looking for something to do. christmas in the park is free and open now throughew year's day until t at night, but on fridays it stays open until 11. well, it sure feels

like we've been seeing black friday deals all week, haven't we? but shoppers still flocked to san francisco's union square last night, buying gifts and enjoying the h holiday atmosphe. san francisco police officers were visibly out for black friday. sfpd says they deployed officers not only to union square, but also other popular shopping spots across the city. the mission, the marina. they say that as because union square has seen many high profile thefts in the past, the city is actually reporting crime is down there compared with this time last year. police say they are because their presence is there. crime has gone down. they are now exploring, using different types of transportation to get across town to respond to crime. they are now allowed to use technology like drones to help respond to crimes. and of course, with the holiday shopping season in full swing, south bay leaders want to make sure that this small business saturday their local businesses don't get lost in the shuffle of

all the big box stores today in the bay's ginger conejero saab reports from a previously vacant storefront now transformed into a pop up collective to keep entrepreneurs in business. good morning kira in just a couple hours a day, two will begin here of this vintage holiday pop up at willow glen in san jose. with us is carol dombkowski, who is responsible for putting ten vendors under one roof for ten days ready to fulfill your shopping holiday shopping needs, as well as support small businesses. and this is really something we want to focus on for small business saturday. how important is it for small businesses to have an opportunity to sell? it's really important the fact that the focus is put on small business saturday brings attention to people that forget how important it is to shop small business. without that customer support, we're all going to go to the

wayside. we're going to close up and you'll never see us again. but they bring a lot of attention to the small business, and leases are so expensive for. small business to keep up with sometimes. so this pop up is really a great option because you can bring in vendors and there's no long term commitment. but yet you get that holiday foot traffic. that's correct. correct. well, hopefully this is not going to be the last. this is the first of many. but speaking of these really unique finds that you have at this vintage pop up. talk to us about these santas because we're right now after thanksgiving, full swing ahead, full steam ahead, i should say, into christmas. and these are some interesting santas that aren't usually around. so probably 1940s. and it's a plaster santa. i mean, you won't find this merchandise anywhere. the what's a plastic the what's a what's a plaster santa a plaster is the material they made it out of. okay. and people could break it up and use

it for chalk when they were little. but anyway, a lot of the box stores, big box stores are taking the molds or the idea of the old ones and reproducing them. target and walmart there, you know. but if you want the authentic, you can find it here. and carol, i feel like this santa's face is something that i've seen before. it is very popular, very popular. they've taken that also the this is a plastic light up, one that goes way, way back and still works. you can see the santa here on this one, but they all have that jolly face that that makes you feel it's time to buy small business. that's right. that jolly face that says, come on, come shop out here. so talk to us about the details of the pop up. it started yesterday. yes. and what's interesting about it is every day you restock. so the days that you can come, if you find something, grab it. if you don't, maybe there's something new right? tomorrow there'll be

new merchandise coming in daily. and when i say new, new old merchandise will keep everything stocked fully. so if you can't make it in one day, you're not going to miss anything. you're going to find something, maybe even better the next day. we're open daily 10 to 6 through next saturday, december 7th. all right. well, it's great that you've made this time for us, carol. thank you. thanks for teaching me because this is also been a history lesson of like what was cool. and throughout the different decades. that's great. well, happy small business saturday to you and happy holidays. thank you. thank you and happy shopping to you, kira, because i know you've got a long list of things and people to get to. so here's some ideas. you and me both sisters. ginger, thanks so much. all right. we're going to take a big turn now and talk about this. investigators looking into what caused this massive fire that destroyed a century old victorian home in vallejo. it ignited around 230 yesterday morning. this is at

ohio and sutter streets. flames, you see fully engulfed that shared home. one tenant we spoke with only found out that all of his belongings were destroyed when he came back home from his thanksgiving celebrations. luckily, everyone who was home made it out safely. the list of groceries being recalled due to possible contamination keeps growing. now you can add sun fed cucumbers to that list. the fda is warning shoppers that any cucumbers by sun fed purchased between october 12th and november 20th 6th may contain salmonella. today, in the bay's emma goss explains why we're hearing about so many food safety recalls lately. the sun fed, whole, fresh american cucumbers are the ones the cdc is warning about tonight. after almost 70 people across 19 states have reported getting sick, including one case in california contaminated grocery store products. they've been

making headlines a lot lately. the fda is investigating a new e coli outbreak. this one is tied to carrots. a warning tonight about raw milk that's been contaminated with the bird flu virus. i heard about the cucumber one. yeah. according to the cdc, a salmonella outbreak linked to son fed cucumbers has sickened 68 people across 19 states, with more than a dozen cases leading to hospitalization in california. albertsons stores and walmarts in southern california are known to have carried them. symptoms of salmonella can develop 12 hours to three days after exposure, says doctor peter chin-hong of ucsf. you typically could get nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps if you develop a fever or more severe symptoms, seek medical attention. so you really have to be a little bit more cautious about the stuff you buy nowadays. the cucumbers are the latest on what is a growing lis. this week, organic eggs from costco were also recalled due to possible salmonella

contamination there. the kirkland signature brand 24 count, sold across five states in the south. locally, raw milk has recently been pulled from store shelves. california now ordering fresno based raw farms to stop selling it this week, the santa clara public health lab found the bird flu virus in a second sample during routine testing. and then there was the big carrot recall last week. whole and baby carrots sold at several major stores may have been contaminated with e coli bacteria. so what's going on? doctor chin-hong says food recalls have risen over the last decade, but these recent cases are not signs of a major spike. definitelyon't panic, but do take precautions. rinse your produce and keep it on a separate cutting board away from meats to avoid cross-contamination. refrigerate perishables within two hours and keep heated food hot while you're waiting to serve it. cleaning, separating, cooling

and heating is important. emma goss for today in the bay. 41 past the hour. still to come on today in the bay. new revelations from researchers about the negative impact pollution can have on our brains. cynthia explores the rising health concerns in our climate in crisis series.

at 30 degrees under that frost advisory to the south bay. under that gorgeous sunrise, 45 degrees to start our day down here in san jose. the other thing that we're watching here is the fog forming over places like pleasanton, santa rosa and through the central valley. so if you can delay, maybe your drive back home or if you're waiting for somebody, give them a heads up about this. we'll watch the fog. stay with us in the north bay and the east bay till about maybe. 830, 9:00. pushing it through and maybe mixing out here by around the late morning hours into noon. we should clear out of a situation like this. so just use those low beams and give yourself enough space there in between cars. otherwise, we'll see a few more high clouds rolling around. similar pattern that we've had over the last couple of days as that subtropical moisture just swings upwards here into the bay area from the south. temperatures will be slightly cooler also as we go on in focus on the east bay to the north bay. low 60s there for concord, 63 in napa. and we come down

south, though that's where those numbers will run just a little bit more mild. 66 in san jose, santa cruz, gorgeous beach. they 69 in morgan hill as we could get closer to those 70s in the next couple of days. i'll show you that in just a little bit. but i did hint at the chance of seeing some spotty showers as we go on into sunday. even more people starting to head home. the models are painting more of that activity, mainly towards the outskirts of the south bay, south bay, the east bay around livermore, down through the 99, maybe even the five. but they're very light at times. the other things that we'll watch for will be those cloudy skies as we go on into our sunday. so peeks of sunshine here and there. and that's about all the moisture i've got for you over the next couple of days. those rain chances are going to trend towards the pacific northwest as that ridge of high pressure kind of blocks any systems from getting into the state, so that deluge of rain that we got the last couple of weeks, that is it for a while. that pattern is

setting up as we go on and go at least through the first week of december. so if you like sunshine and that dry weather, i know i do, especially for my dogs. san francisco peninsula going to be staying like this low to mid 60s over the next couple of days. lots of sunshine there and our inland. seven day forecast. there's those 70s that i told you about going into monday. tuesday. if you don't get the 70s still, that sunshine will be plenty warm in those upper 60s. that's a nice start to december. very nice cynthia, thanks. uyo
