Is a catch to today and that is those winds as you venture outside maybe for your thanksgiving meal later on today looking outside from our sutro tower cam it is an absolutely beautiful morning not a cloud in the sky and we could actually think some of these northeastern winds for that keeping any fog marine layer out of the bay area that means were going to be pretty mild all the way out to the coast today, so even our coastal areas can get out there without the worry of any sort of fog pushing in across the region. Radar shows a very quiet picture we do zoom out across the region and there are continued showers up in the pacific northwest, but the oregon activity that i was talking about yesterday has even come down so it is really quiet picture out here what we do has is these offshore winds so temperatures are fairly mild to start the morning with 40s 50s and then some 30s for inland areas like we were yesterday, dublin in conquered egypt down into the south bay also couple 30s down there while the north bay, a big warm up from yesterday and that is actually due to these winds so quite the range of temperatures you can see oakland conquered, hey were down from current temperatures. But also the north bay up and as ive been talking about that is a product of some of the stronger winds in the north bay so sonoma calistoga petaluma severe breezier areas right now lets get a look at what its going to be looking like later today as you do maybe venture outside into the backyard for that thanksgiving feast this is right after noontime, Sonoma Petaluma and napa still very breezy other areas like San Francisco and oakland not quite as windy at this time but do expect some breezy conditions on and off well throughout the day so youre definitely not. 100 looking at just beautiful calm conditions. We do have those beautiful clear skies in the mild temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. But we do have the to contend with so if you have the table clout out there make sure thats but down and just make sure that you get outside and enjoy the day most of all back to you james. All right, thanks very much. John while were keeping our eye on the roads. On this thanksgiving day the chp dont forget out in full force. A practicing maximum enforcement to make sure that everyone is driving safely so be careful on the roads aaa is expecting to see a higher turnout the rough highways and byways despite the pandemic in fact they say 95 of travelers are expected to be driving to their destinations this Holiday Season. Officer brandon korea with the california Highway Patrol says that while the roads in the bay area have been slow overall during the pandemic speeding has been a problem and to encourage safe travel officers again are going to be out in full force. Well you down there is a completely avoidable part of the crash is your speed you can control that right from checkpoints to the max amount of officers out looking for impaired drivers that starts with maybe this specific type driving behavior and then pull that person over see it there just may be distracted on their phone. Thats another reason we saw people so stay after phones dont be distracted. We drive. And again the chp is maximum enforcement is from now through the holiday weekend. Well happening now volunteers with the Salvation Army will be delivering thanksgiving too with thanksgiving meals to those in need there are a number of changes to the way these meals will be delivered however because obviously theres a pandemic this year with kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in San Francisco with more on that story good morning sir. Good morning james and happy thanksgiving. You would think with the pandemic they have to cancel an event like this, but no Salvation Army is pushing through and theyre doing everything they can to keep the volunteers safe so they can pick up the meals and deliver them to those in need we know 4,800 meals will be delivered today. So thats joining us here on the distance is a major Matthew Madsen and so tell me how this is all going to work and from photographer will show people exactly behind you how it will.

Oh yeah, its a lynx giving so i remember when i followed the crews going out last year the volunteers, it really was incredible to see the face of the person receiving there a lot of them elderly just like oh i cant wait to see someone explain those who are in need who are receiving these boxes. So many of the folks that were delivering today our seniors and because of this virus. Theyre afraid to leave their homes. Theyre afraid to leave where theyre at because theyre the most vulnerable and so were taking extra precautions everybody here is wearing ppe were keeping socially distant and and some in some instances there their entire apartment complexes where were going to be delivering it to the management and then theyre going to distribute it and they feel more comfortable with the people that they know and so were being very censitive to that but we want to make sure that the most vulnerable are taken care of and have Something Special to be thankful for today. And the needs always there. But this year going to pandemic many people have lost their jobs. Many people are struggling still more of a need are you seeing, i know 1000 more meals are going out today some must be more of an e. There was a massive increase in fact we had to cut it off at some point because you got to order the food and everything to make it happen if we didnt cut it off at 4800 which is a 1000 more than weve done before we probably have doubled our numbers from last year the need is that real. And so what else can people expect today if youre someone receiving youre watching this what would you say to them. I hope youre hungry. It looks good. I took a look at one of them and they look great so enjoy and god bless you and thank you so much for joining us and well be live here this morning to show you all of the action.

I know the country has grown wary of the fight. We need to remember. Were at war with the virus. Not with one another now with each other while President Trump continues to dispute the Election Results with unproven accusations of widespread voter fraud. Mister biden attempted to don the mantle of leadership with this speech delivered in measured tones barely above a whisper it times. He said grim truths will lead to a Brighter Future many local Health Systems are at risk of being overwhelmed. Thats the plain and simple truth. Nothing made up its real. I believe you always deserve to hear the truth. Hear the truth from your present the president elect promise several steps from day one of his presidency more testing stricter isolation of those who fall ill, more protective gear for businesses and schools and clear guidance on how to best keep them open.

I know we can and we will beat this virus. America is not going to lose this war. That was dan reynolds, reporting the president elect said that people should be thankful this year to live in a democracy where more than a 150 Million People freely voted.
