care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you. . we have seen it happen all over the bay area. l.a. seems to have the same problem, mob-style takeovers of retail stores like the nike outlet that has been hit over and over

again. now, one group of people tells us if the police can't stop it, they will. >> it is the latest stunning video of a flash mob theft. this time a group clearing out the nike community store. throwing stacks of shoes and arm fulls of clothing into trash bags. lapd says just before 6:00 p.m. on sunday, suspects rushed into the retailer and rushed out with about $12,000 in product. releasing the photos hoping someone recognizes the face and clothing it is the 10th time it happened at this very store. 24 hours after the latest hit. >> i think it is sad. sad that this is what it has come to. >> some paying customers are shaking their heads in frustration as others . >> it is embarrassing, man. saying they are ready to do more than that. this group was camped out in a nike parking lot now. >> now we are patrolling right here. there is where we are

water off of oahu. it was misty and strong wind gusts at the time. remember that classic scene from "jaws" when the chief first lays eyes on the shark? >> you are going to need a bigger boat. >> it locks like president biden needs a bigger cake. he turned 81 today. the white house should of baked him something larger before putting 81 candles on it. it turns out you run out of space for candlessism the bay area saw a good amount of rain this weekend. we will talk about that in just a second. our friends in southern california had to deal with this. that was loud and very intense wind blowing in on ontario, driving on freeways there has been difficult and so much dust has opinion blowing around. they had to issue an air quality

alert. the strong northeast winds made it difficult for people to do their jobs including this man's wife. >> she is a teacher, she said the wind was so bad that the kid his to stay in school, extend the classrooms, she said it was a rough day for her. >> i bet. another thing to note, thousands of homes could have their power shut off to prevent wildfires, something that we know all about here in the bay area. although paul, i got to say, i did feel strong winds in the city over the weekend. with a lot of rain as promised. >> we had a lot of rain on saturday into saturday night and then the winds kicked in on sunday. the off shore winds around the bay area would hurt the fire threat if we did not just pick up the rain across the bay area. now, a dry weather pattern settled in. this is going to continue as we head through the rest of the week. there are clouds off shore that will be moving into the bay area over the next few days. the clouds are unlikely to squeeze out more than a

sprinkle or two. future cast showing the cloud cover moving through waves. clouds moving through mid-level of the atmosphere. they do not block it as merchandise as filter it out the best chance of showers staying up north. then for thanksgiving we should be clearing out by midday on thursday with plenty of sunshine for thanksgiving afternoon. the weather looks great for travel around all of california. across the country potential trouble spots here and there. especially in the deep south with the severe weather threat. traveling on thanksgiving itself it looks good. the clouds will takeaway from our solargeneration but it should be back for the weekend making the most of our 10 hours and 15 minutes of daylight each day. this is the view of black mountain. the temperatures dropped to a mix of 40s and 50s. still 55 in san francisco. but, that is the warm spot on the map, 51 degrees in san

jose. the only other spot still in the 50s. we will drop down to the 40s by early tomorrow morning, a lot of places in the 40s. falling down to 40 degrees in the coolest spots on the map to the upper 30s around fairfield. temperatures around the bay and the coast not as cold still, middle to upper 40s which is normal for this time of the year. high temperatures which are going to be above average. close to 9 degrees above average in the santa clara valley, lower to middle of the valley. not quite that warm inland in the east bay, 60s there, 71 degrees in fremont, 72 in redwood city. the record is 73, coming close. upper 60s close to 70 degrees in san francisco and oakland. the temperatures inland and the east bay are going to reach well into the 60s. the warmest spots up to 70 degrees with similar temperatures in store again on wednesday and for thanksgiving on thursday. in fact, as we look at the 10 day

outlook for san jose you can see the temperatures do not change much for tomorrow and thursday and when they do drop friday and the rest of the weekend they still will be ready for a couple degrees above average. that is the theme for the entire bay area. backing down to closer for this time of the year, you see the above normal temperatures sticking around for the seven-day forecast and even beyond that. let's take a look at the seven-day outlook that includes that slight drop in temperatures by the time we hit the end of the week heading through the four day holiday weekend the temperatures still running a degree or two above normal even as we head into the last days of november and there is absolutely no rain in the seven-day forecast. passing clouds, tomorrow, and the long forecast data shows a dry pattern sticking around all of the way likely to the end of november. maybe a chance of showers by the time we finish the month. just enjoy the

pleasant weather for the holiday weekend. no interference from mother nature if you are traveling around the bay area, around california, really, the western u.s. is looking good for the holiday. >> we have to be grateful for that. that is not always the case. >> oh, not a guarantee. >> no guarantee. your bag will follow you there but we are hoping for that as well. thank you very much. a lot of people would like to have dinner with shaq. why not? we are all wondering what he might order. tonight, a lucky person with very deep pockets got that chance. people actually bid thousands of dollars to have dinner with the nba legend and sports talk legend, we should note. he was here in san francisco and this event raised nearly $100,000 for the charity foundation. that foundation encourages kids to get involved in sports which, if you are a parent, you know it is a wonderful cause because it keeps them busy and healthy and all of the good things. the dinner with shaq

was the big ticket. the winner spent $17,000, sounds about right to cover his tab. shaq looks like he can put back six dozen oysters and a big steak. >> the gentleman asked me what my thanksgiving looks like. i have been alone for thanksgiving for the past 20 years all i eat are turkey sandwiches. >> did i hear you right? you are alone? >> wherever you are in the nba, traveling, i am always working. >> i wish i was a little taller in this moment. >> smaller. >> you smaller, me taller. [ laughter ] >> the height difference between betty, who is pettitte and shaq is extreme. she would need to get on a ladder to even clear his chest. he is 7 '1, and betty is, i think -- oh, look at that 5 maybe? >> vern we had to pull up this

classic. >> [ laughter ] there it is. reminds me of a song "i wish i was a little taller. >> he referenced. he wore it that day. of all of the athletes i have been around in terms of a mass of a man, leis the biggest. something sara there is something about you tonight, i have not put a fink or it. it is over at chase center and, anybody up for a super bowl rematch? sara had a little personal interest

. i don't get to watch every dove's game but i watched this one. >> you picked a good one to watch. >> i picked a good one to watch and a very frustrating one to

watch. >> why was it frustrating for you? >> there were ups and downs, weren't there? >> at the end, though, you want to have one point better than the other guy, right? >> that is true. >> that is what happened tonight. nba up top. in the words of robert cosell, it's over. they said good-bye to 6th game losing streak. for klay thompson it could not come at a better time. scoring 20 points on 5 made threes, he got his mojo shooting back. he had a previous five deep ball game against the houston rockets and, steph curry after a quiet start got hot in the second half. curry lead all scores with 32. made 5 from deep. his 10th game this season of making five or more threes and, he passed nate therman for most minutes played in franchise history. we have to talk about

chris paul, again. did it at both ends, season high, 12 assists, scored 15 points in the last three games, paul is 11 of 18 on threes. they had five players in double figures, made a season best, 21 threes and they won it 121-116. almost went over the home stand. snapped the six game losing streak and now on to the phoenix suns. nfl and 49ers business. it was not all good coming out of the win over tampa. the team confirmed this morning all pro safe talanoa hufanga will miss the rest of the season. wheels up tomorrow for seattle on thursday. now, a little last bit of sunday business, nick bosa renewed his rivalry with mayfield that dates back to college days, ohio state and oklahoma. mayfield, a sooner, blocked him in the first half and flexed about it. for the player of the year, he was not

that impressed. >> i don't know if you saw the reaction? >> i did. [ laughter ] >> okay. >> how did . >> that was not him that was the speed of number 10. but, i will let him have that. >> i bet nick was not trying to get a penalty or a fine for hitting a quarterback. if i had a choice i would not hit nick bosa for your own health and safety. the chiefs, and a super bowl rematch and the brotherly shove was huge. this hurts touchdown gave philly the lead. now, time for holmes magic. less than two to go. mahomes had him down the field for a go ahead and he could not hang on. that was the difference as the eagles got it done on the road. won the game 21-17. nfl best 9-1. not the outcome the 7-349ers were hoping for.

speaking of football. a little extra bounce in sara's step tonight. i don't know if you noticed it. she came back and beat me this week in fantasy football by the slimmest of margins, 120-117. it all came down to travis kelsey. kelce? >> i was check figure taylor swift had a break in her world tour. i was nervous, i should say, context is everything, vern is sat the top of the league. so, vern and one of the other producers, henly, they are dominating, i am farther down the rankings the first time playing fantasy football. i snuck some advice from him here and there during a sports segment. i am going to be a little bragadocous about this one. >> remainder of the season, congratulations on the "w" tonight. >> thank you very much. that took a lot. i am sure.

[ laughter ] >> i don't know if code enforcement would like this now. from taking advantage of the streets to taking the cable car in the most difficult way possible and also not allowed in the year of 2023. he was a hit with the people, dave, not so much with the local wildlife, though. leand joe montana stuffed a couple full size crabs down the front of their pants beforehanding some out to the crowd, hopefully different ones. >> i will see if i can get him
