Tonight, we take a look back at when the shelter at home order took effect and how much our lives have changed since then. And were still dealing with some air quality issues as we start the week. But cooler temperatures and a stronger seabraze should help with that. Details ahead in our forecast coming up in just a couple minutes. In just a few months, weve learned a lot more about the covid19 virus. Its real. And its dangerous. So, on behalf of all of us working on the front lines, please take it seriously.

They got a bigger car for their soontobebigger family. After shopping around for insurance, they called usaa who helped find the right coverage for them and even some muchneeded savings. That was the easy part. Usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it easy. Six months ago everything changed for the bay area as we learned of the shelter at home orders. Garvin thomas had to look back at what has been undoubtedly the strangest six months in our lifetime and what we may need most going forward. Reporter you may not remember the very first time you heard the word coronavirus, but for each one of us, there was likely a moment not long afterward you are unlikely to forget. The moment that finally made it clear big changes are coming. Perhaps it was that time your neighborhood restaurant shut its doors or when your to take the field. Or simply when we were all told that home was the safest place to stay. We are balancing the Public Health need to spread the slow of infection with a Significant Impact we know these actions will have on the lives of our resident. Reporter even then, we couldnt imagine how the virus could infect everies a second of our society, economy. The ultimate bill from covid is bill unknown. Thousands of businesses have closed, never to reopen. Millions of workers are out of a job wondering how long it will be before they again earn a paycheck. A wrench has been thrown into the education of a generation. Teachers and students alike forced to find a way to bridge the distance and make school work work. But never forget the most irreversible of changes have come to more than 1,000 bay area families. My dad, and i hate even saying was. That really is hard to say. Reporter alexander thought her children would have many more years with their loving grandfather, only to have covid cut that time short. Add social unrest and ek logical disaster, and it is a wonder we are Still Holding it together. But we are, in a way. Look around and people are still being kind to each other, making sure their neighbors are not falling through the huge cracks covid has created. And if we all do just a little more of that, we can surely get through the next six months no matter what. Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. Really well done by garvin there. Yeah. Rob joining us now talking about things Getting Better on the air front, on the environmental front, at least for a little bit. Yeah. Especially during the day tomorrow. I think we will see some changes. Although i think the morning we may wake up to areas of smoke before those sea breezes pick up. Lets take you outside where the temperatures are still warm. 70s around the bay area. 72 degrees. High today in the 90s. We saw San Francisco briefly climb into the upper 70s today. Smoke and a patch of low clouds there off to the west. And in san jose some smokey skies. 67 degrees. The high was 91. Tomorrow should be temperatures maybe about 5 to 10 degrees cooler as that sea breeze picks up. Notice were still in the moderate temperature. In fact, i think for the morning we will see more smoke. But here is where things should get better. Notice the impact as that sea breeze picks up in late evening. Look at how the mess starts to clear away. Look at how its getting pushed off to the east. So the five day air quality outlook does trend better. At least through friday it looks like we will see mostly good air quality around the bay area. A reminder a strong southwest wind is good news. Any time the wind shifts out of the north, that begins to be a problem. Notice morning temperatures in the 60s. By lunchtime patchy fog by the coast and our highs tomorrow in the low 80s close to san jose. And San Francisco and oakland cooling down. Members in the low 70s to mid70s for tomorrow. So the long range forecast is pretty interesting. You will hear stories about an atmospheric river. It will bring much needed rain across oregon where the wild fires are still burning there. There is the good news. It should be a considerable amount of rain. Some places getting two to three inches of rain. But notice were missing out here. As that system starts to move by, notice how we go from the extremely moist conditions. Thats the green you see on this map. The river transitioning to an atmospheric hair drier, which is strong pressure, the sign that the air is starting to dry out. Notice what happens mid way through next weekend. So saturday it looks breezy and dry. I think the weekend could begin with fire danger. But maybe the more significant change will be on the temperatures which havent been too bad lately, staying in the low 90s today. That wasnt too bad. San francisco might see numbers in the 80s. There is a good chance the valleys could be looking at mid to upper 90s. That, by the way, is the first weekend of fall. A reminder late september october, which is a typical pattern where we get th to bring us rain but they helped set up the wind pattern. We will have to watch that closely as we head through this time next week even. Back to you. Rob, thanks so much. Still ahead, it is one of the iconic parades in the country. The macys thanksgiving day parade, organizers are not going to let covid19 stop the parade in its tracks. How it will be marching on differently despite the pandemic. Great day on the lake it is.

Flew over iconic landmarks to observe the 80th anniversary of the campaign on the ground. Many attended memorial services. The 1940 air battle did lead to hitler postponing his plans to invade britain. Macys pulled off the fourth of July Fireworks show this summer, but now theyre marching forward on a new challenge. For the first time there wont be crowds and its not going to be live. Adam has more on how macys plans to make the tradition still happen. Reporter snoopy and santa will be parading, just not the way new yorkers have come to expect it. Im heart broken. It is my favorite day on the block. Reporter this pandemic year parade will not go like in years past. Disappointed news for neighbors that gather every year. It is something that i think means a lot to people and it seems strange to move it or d it differently because it is just so iconic. Reporter instead, the floats will fly through undisclosed locations near the flag ship store. The event taped ahead of time. Another change this year, that giant balloon inflation event held the big crowds here, thats canceled. But they are not letting all the air out of the parade fun. Macys says performances will still happen with participants socially distanced and there will be masked. But the high schools and colleges previously selected will be replaced with professional acts. The balloon handlers also done this year. They will be using specially rigged vehicles tested and approved by the city and nypd to carry the balloons. Part of the magic of the parade is all the people it brings together from all walks of life, all the diversity of everyone who goes to see it. It is the one day our entire country celebrates together, our entire city celebrates together. Reporter while most of usju it is a chance to look out your window and see one of those big balloons outside while they are taping one of those surprise segments for this years parade. Well, macys plans to announce the full lineup of balloon characters and performances at a later date. You can watch the macys thanksgiving day parade right here on nbc bay area.
