Lar of frost on the windshield. 38 degrees, 39 in santa cruz. Look at concord and livermore. 33 degrees in livermore and down to about 32 degrees. Thats near freezing in novato and the napa area. A frosty start. Here is what were monitoring for the next week. An increase in some cloud cover later tonight with an onshore flow making its arrival and then as of now to give you a sneak peek we will remain dry for the month of november. High pressure rolling in and the potential for some winds to build. Ill go over that and your thanksgiving forecast coming up in a few minutes. Kira . Well see you again soon. Thanks so much. The bay area returned to a stayathome order curfew that runs for the next month. For now it impacts the majority of the bay area but not the entire region. It includes 41 counties across california which fall under the states most restrictive purple tier where covid rates are climbing at an alarming rate and threaten to overwhelm our local Health Care System that is alm of the bay area except for marin, San Francisco and san mateo. Changes could come at any time. We went to one south bay city to see how the first night played out. Downtown los gatos was busy with many people dining outside on a chilly evening. Like clock work at 10 00 p. M. Businesses closed up. People we spoke with had a range of opinions about this curfew. Its a step in the right directions with covid cases increasing. Its a small sacrifice to make. I think it encourages people to be out less, if anything. Its weird for me to think coronavirus spreads faster after 10 00 versus before it so it doesnt make a lot of sense to me. That, of course, is not the case. Its intended to stop social gathering and social mixings that are contributing to the sudden surge in cases. Our state reported more than 13,000 cases of covid19 on friday alone. We are still awaiting yesterdays numbers. During this curfew over the next month here are some things you cannot do gather with people from outside of your household unless youre an essential worker. Here is what you can do, you can work your essential job. You can go to the grocery job. You can walk your dog. You can get drivethrough or takeout food and are urged to return back home. San francisco is still in the red tier so the curfew isnt in effect there right now. That could soon change. Health officials expect the city to move into the purple tier possibly as early as today. We will keep tabs on that for sure. The experimental covid therapy used to treat President Trump has received emergency authorization. The fda has green listed therapy by regeneron. The drug maker says trial data shows the drug reduced the amount of virus and associated damage in the lungs of nonhuman primates. It also was shown to reduce mild to moderate covid19. The fda says it will continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Now to this, it was supposed to be one of berkeleys most Affordable Apartment complexes but last night went up in flames. It was still under construction. Fire crews from across the east bay remained onscene checking for hot spots t. Could be seen for miles. Today in the bays Sergio Quintana has more. Reporter ladder trucks set up in the streets around the sixstory Affordable Housing apartment complex dousing it with water and hot spots flared. This is a fire and a response by area Fire Departments that people could see and hear for blocks. We could see the smoke from a couple blocks away and decided to check it out. Reporter first reports of the fire came in just before 5 40. In social media videos you can see it engulfed. Ey attacked with several trucks and water cannons. It took hours to douse it. You can still see the flames on the top of the building where they cant really get the water at. Reporter groundbreaking was in july. It was a few months into construction. Its supposed to be part of an Affordable Housing tower and Homeless Services center called berkeley way. The good thing is no one lives there. Thats the good news. Reporter there is no word on what started the fire and no injuries reported. Sergio quintana, bay area nbc news. The fire was so big you could see the smoke for miles. This photo from twitter you can see a big cloud of smoke above the rooftops. Turning now to the latest to come from the Trump Administration to throw out millions of votes. It was dismissed in pennsylvania this weekend. A federal judge tossed out the lawsuit to stop the certification of pennsylvanias Election Results with a scathing 37page opinion calling the legal argument strange, without merit and speculative. Yesterdays ruling is the latest in a string of rejections by judges to the president s mission to overturn Election Results. A petition filed for another election recount. This after the hand count was completed a couple days ago reaffirming president elect joe biden did, in fact, win the state by more than 12,000 votes. But President Trumps legal team argue that is another recount is needed to ensure every legal vote is counted. They want a recount with signature matching, but critics say signature matching already was a part of the recount and another one simply will reaffirm that biden did indeed win a third time. Georgia would have to foot the bill for another recount, by the way. President trump briefly took part in a virtual g20 summit before golfing at Trump National golf club in virginia. Meanwhile president elect joe biden is moving full steam ahead despite his Transition Team being stonewalled by the Trump Administration. Sources with the Biden Campaign say we could see some picks for the upcoming cabinet by the coming week. Bidens lawyers are also weighing whether to take legal action on being blocked from the transition. They say they are confident they would win in court but it would take too long to be helpful. A racist encounter between two east bay neighbors. People gathered in Discovery Bay to demand change after video of the racist confrontation emerged. Youre a black person in a white neighborhood and youre acting like one. Why dont you act like a white person in a white neighborhood. Supporters marched with signs and chanted love not hate. They stopped near the entry point to the gated community where that encounter took place. There family members described how this has impacted them and called for unity. I felt like a change needs to be made and i believe this march shows just that and not everyone feels negatively. This all unfolded when a neighbor came to the africanamerican familys door to complain about their dog. We have made repeated attempts to reach the woman shown in the video. She has not responded. It is 7 09. We do have move more ahead on today in the bay. Coming up we take you live to our weekly conversation with chuck todd who has a preview of this weeks meet the press. Millions of people are still taking to the skies and the roads this thanksgiving. What theyre doing to stay safe and avoid catching covid19. Go, on the clock, and on your way. Hang on a second. Whats the rush . Know the speed limit, go the speed limit, and slow the fast down. Go safely, california. Take a quick break,ite, jump on a quick call. Next time you take a quick trip, how about this . Take a second, take your time, and slow the fast down. Go safely, california. Welcome back. Its time to bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. As always, thanks for joining us this morning. Great to see you. Hi, kira. As you know, as we all know most Congressional Republicans have been silent about President Trumps efforts to overturn the president ial Election Results. Within the last couple of days pennsylvanias pat toomey and wyomings cheney have expected the results and noted that joe biden will be president elect. But there is a special runoff that will happen in georgia. What, if any, impact will inaction have on those potential senators in georgia . Its funny you bring that up because i do think thats actually caused its hurting the Republican Party right now this delay in acknowledging who the next president will be. Its hurting the Republican Party and what is their best message to voters in georgia to basically anytime you can ask any set of voters, do you prefer one party to be in charge of x or see a check on the president with the opposite party, and with a handful of swing voters the idea of a check is a powerful tool. Its hard to send the message if youre claiming the president won his reelection and then these georgia runoffs are meaningless. If he won, then republicans already have control of the senate under that scenario. I do think in an odd way it is hurting the republicans ability to prosecute the campaign that would put them in the best position to win the runoffs. This is one of those cases where youre like, once again, the president s odd strategic decisions, and ill put that in quotes because not everybody thinks theyre strategic, will end up harming the party short term, not helping. It will be interesting to see how that plays out and kind of sticking with that theory he did win reelection, president elect biden remains without access to executive Branch Agencies because of Trump Administration resistance. At what point does the stalemate harm the bidens team ability to set up shop . Ive also heard that it will impact the rollout of covid vaccinations, or do you think they can work around this between now and january 20th . Look, do i think between now and december 1st, all of this can be worked around . I do. Next week thanksgiving week is not the most productive workweek for anybody in general. It is coming to an end, it doesnt happen next week. But after that i would argue, yes, it starts to do damage. The 2000 election robert mueller, the day he took office as head of the fbi was the day before 9 11. Everything got backlogged in 2000. Imagine if he was in office two months earlier which could have been the case had the transition started in a normal process. The point is you dont know what you dont know. We know theres Vaccine Distribution to hand off. We know there are certain things about iran right now that we have to be nervous about like we did after 2000 and the 9 11 attacks. I do take exception to your comment that no work happens on thanksgiving. We in news always work. I havent had a thanksgiving week off myself. I know. Friends and family who dont seem to have anything to do. Exactly, exactly. Happy thanksgiving to you. We look forward to seeing you next week. Be sure to join chuck for this mornings meet the press. Exclusive interviews with the White House Office director richmond and senator kevin cramer that is an exclusive plus an extra from chucks interview with dr. Anthony fauci. We hope you stick right here and tune in at 8 00 a. M. Right after this newscast. And coming up in about 30 minutes from now our post election coverage continues. We will talk to our political analyst Larry Gerston for our weekly segment. Okay, were going to shift gears a little bit now. Back to thanksgiving. Long lines at chicago and atlanta airports already as travelers seem to be disregarding cdc guidance to stay home for the holidays. This as testing lines get longer and people look to get tested before visiting relatives. Nbcs blayne alexander reports. Reporter with thanksgiving just around the corner in city after city scenes like these. Airports packed with passengers despite the dire warning from the cdc urging all americans to stay at home. Nothing is stopping me. Nothing. Reporter on friday the tsa processed a million passengers, only the second time hitting that threshold since march and a 15 rise over the week before. In boston i am nervous, but i want to be with my babies. Reporter chicago i feel safe to fly. I think we should all fly for thanksgiving. Reporter and around the country from long lines at airports to long lines at testing sites, people rushing to get lastminute screening. Were doing it for the travel. It doesnt matter how long i wait, i want to get a sense of release. Reporter experts say get tested as close to departure as possible, isolate before and after you travel and test again once you arrive, but they caution testing is not foolproof. Fanning out around the country thousands of college students, many schools offering exit testing. Most campuses remaining closed until spring semester. My last test is on wednesday this week. Now its saturday. Reporter julia and her friends are sophomores at duke university, making the nearly eighthour drive from North Carolina home to new york. Why did you choose to drive instead of fly . Definitely feel more comfortable in the car with people ive been with all semester regardless rather than on a plane and in an airport with a bunch of strangers. Reporter now with cases on the rise experts fear the numbers will spike after the holidays. A brutal combination of pandemic fatigue. That is whats scaring us and the one thing were battling that we didnt battle back in march, blayne, the environment. Cold, dry air. Were just tired of it. We want that vaccine. We want to see our loved ones. That was nbcs blayne alexander. For us its time to check in with vianey arana for a look at our microclimate forecast as we head into thanksgiving week. Its so cold this morning. Its frosty in some parts of the bay area. I want to show you where theres a little bit of snow left and thats in lake tahoe. The previous storm the past couple of weeks managed to bring in a couple of inches which anytime weve seen snow or rain we welcome it because we need it but were not expecting to see any rain here locally at least not the next several days. Lets take a look at the great shot of San Francisco using our Weather Underground cameras, clear skies to start. Great beautiful view over san jose and lets take a look at the current temperatures because it is cold. This is the reason why its frosty. And were going to see another morning like that tomorrow. Look at napa and novato. Thats near freezing right now so, you know, as we head into tonight and tomorrow we can see, again, the return of those cold mornings. And i want to show you Doppler Radar right now. Yesterday we had a beautiful, sunny day, but notice the cloud cover and the storm system passing to our north, we could see an increase in high clouds heading into tonight. So thats something to keep in mind youll probably notice later ton. And up microclimate forecast for today is actually three degrees cooler as the high clouds roll in compared to yesterday. Santa rosa at 65. Still cool and comfortable in the 60s. Its going to turn cloudy later tonight and then as i mentioned were going to expect to see showers but pretty far north. Nothing for us to worry about here. What are we monitoring for the next seven days in the longrange outlook . Weve been talking about how we need the rain but it doesnt look how were getting any. The storm stays to the north. By the middle of the week we get a lowpressure system just east of the sierra and that could bring the chance of seeing some activity in the sierra but it looks like were going to remain pretty dry here for the bay. More wind for us but less rain chances. As the systems pass by, it could bring the concern for some gusty winds heading into thursday and friday which, as you know, thursday is thanksgiving. Inland temperatures will remain in the 60s in through the week. 64 degrees on monday and as we head into thursday for thanksgiving were going to remain dry for inland areas. Notice the overnight lows, they stay in the 30s in San Francisco, inspect to see those chilly temperatures again overnight and it will remain breezy for tomorrow into thursday. Temperatures will be in the 60s. By next week and towards the end of the week we regain the High Pressure and we will warm up just a little bit. Very cool and comfortable. Kira . Looks nice.

I frowned reporter the bad, she says, happened in september in the bathroom of her livermore home when she dropped her wedding ring in the toilet the very moment it was flushing. It fell out of my hand. I figured it was in the sewer pipes, it was long, long gone. Reporter she called the plumber but it was too late.

Im telling her the story what happened and she said, well, have you called one of the water reclamation plants . I nev
