they are scheduled to open on november 25th after north star and heavenly.e excited about that, dan. >> yes, you can ski, just do it socially distanced, right, spencer? >> that's exactly right. we got showers and a chill coming to the bay area and snow and a deeper chill to the sierra. here is a look outside right now. the view from the explore camera. current temperature 62 in the city, 67 in oakland. we have mid to upper 60s in mountain view, san jose, gilroy and 55 at half moon bay. mainly clear skies so far. 63 santa looking back from the rooftop camera, forecast features, increasing clouds overnight. it will be windy with a dramatic drop in temperatures. cold showers are likely and a chance of isolated thunderstorms. the approaching system ranks one on the abc 7 storm impact scale. so again, expect some shattered, shattered, scattered showers, rough surf tomorrow and wind will gust 25 to 50 miles per hour. here is the forecast animation starting at midnight tonight. notice by 4:00 tomorrow afternoon, we'll have pretty active weather especially near the

i really want people to focus on that to give us our north star going forward to get through this. >> are, was dispatched to new york in the spring when we were going through and we were the hot spot and we were experiencing the worst of this. he came back and he told our affiliate that what el paso was going through now, in his mind, was, quote, rougher than the time he spent in new york in the spring. is it that dire at this point in time? obviously you have better therapeutics so more people are living instead of dyeing as they were in the spring. still, is that an apt comparison? >> i wasn't in new york but one of the things people don't realize when you think about el paso, for a city of almost a million on the border, we probably have less health care resources than a lot of large resources. new york is a mecca of health care in the united states. we struggled with nursing shortages, physician shortages but with the government's help and dod we're getting those resources, get our hands what's going on now. so i speak to our communities to say these resources are here right now.

so this is action -- i mean, one thing that's been the sort of north star for policy makers is save thetal system from melting down. that was the imperative in the beginning of this pandemic, but it's more complicated now, right? there's a lot of fatigue among the populus in being told they can't do things. people got used to loosened restrictions over the summer and also there's no federal -- i mean, back in april it looked like there was going to be some federal rescue package, right? money was going to come down for businesses. there's nothing now so if you close down bars and they go out of business like peace. tough. >> that's exactly right. what is really, really clear is that the trump administration has left the states on their own to deal with this pandemic. our governors are truly on the front lines. we're looking for every dollar that we can to help keep families together, to help them stay in their rental apartment or their house. we're working every single day to figure out how we ensure that our small businesses can make it through this pandemic and then on top of it all y

later today heavenly and north star will be the first to open while most of the state is under severetrictions we've been talking about, ski resorts are getting the green light. they do have to follow strict guidelines including wearing a mask, no indoor food operations and i believe for most of the resort you should buy your tickets ahead of time. you can't just get them there. so plan ahead. >>> everyone is talking about it, the coming curfews across the golden state. what you can and cannot do. >> it's coming whether you're ready or not for nearly 95% of the people who live here in california. >>> and we have complete team coverage for you. what's closing and where and how. a lot of you are feeling about it. we'll talk about that coming up next. plus -- >>> a new theory as to why the president may have lost or did lose the election. marcus talking about all those shutdowns affecting stocks. the markets moving slightly lower as we take a look at the big board. >>> and your weekend soundtrack has arrived. new music and albums are dropping from justin bieber, megan thee stallion and b

hoof, men and women who despite the gush of blood and splintered bone would stay true to their north star and keep marching towards justice. >> he was able to bring together ideas about our possibilities, about pain, about racism, about our current condition. >> this week i was asked whether i thought the department of justice's ferguson report shows that with respect to race little has changed in this country. and i understood the question. the report's narrative was sadly familiar. it evoked the kind of abuse and disregard for citizens that spawned the civil rights movement. but i rejected the notion that nothing has changed. what happened in ferguson may not be unique, but it's no longer endemic, it's no longer sanctioned by law or custom. before the civil rights movement, it most surly was. >> you couhe could speak to eve. he always talked about how a white woman who watches her husband leave for work as a police officer worried he won't come home, there's a common cause with a black american who sees her teen leave the house worried he won't come home. these are things we can try to
