homes. this will be almost 10,000 new units, 2,000 earmarked as affordable housing. now if passed many bay area groups hope this could be a blueprint in addressing the bay area housing crisis. build it and they will come. >> it's a precise plan and it's a land use policy change that is unlike almost anything that's ever been done before. >> reporter: in 2015, the city of mountain view began to re-examine its land use policy in the north bay shore neighborhood. bay area is home to tech's global giants like google. but there was no mandate for actual housing. tonight's vote would change that.

jobs. but only added about 57,000 new homes. he says california's tax laws actually penalize cities for adding homes. so mountain view's vote could be a milestone in how cities address the housing crisis. a broad coalition of private and community groups, even the school district advised on the plan. they hope it becomes a blueprint for other bay area cities. >> it's going to really be critical in offering more affordable housing choice. for the people that work not just in silicon valley but for the bay area. >> reporter: in mounen view, anser hassan, nbc bay area news. >> that's a big vote we'll bring it when it comes in during the newscasts or the twitter feed. let's bring in jeff. and we talked about the wildfire season going on all year long. we're so dry you can't dispute that at

drought is right now, the worst. you can see down across southern california where they continue to battle all of the wildfires at the current moment. it remains under moderate drought l.a. basin a abnormally dry for the san francisco and central valley. for the bay area we remain out of the drought but definitely have to start picking up something before we start to see -- well, these dryer than average conditions pushing back into the bay area. now, in terms of our forecasts for tomorrow morning it's dry. also cold. down to 38 here for the south bay. peninsula 40 and the tri-valley at 34. possibly frost. down to 32 in north bay and san francisco at 44. bottom line tomorrow morning you need the jacket like the past couple days. throughout the afternoon as we head throughout your wednesday forecast temperatures, well, pretty comfortable. 64 in antioch. 65 in san jose. 68 in morgan hill. 64 in san francisco and 66 in napa. no hunl differences traveling throughout the bay area. a quick look at forecast shows droi over the next seven days. next change would be wind coming in saturday. 10 to 25-mile-per-hour out of the north. that's good enough to help to clear out the air quality. but it keeps the fire danger up. we'll let you know more about the shower chances for the bay area at 6:48 tonight. >> thank you very much, jeff. firing back, president trump lashes out at an accuser on twitter. the reason some people are saying he has crossed the line. hanukkah. check out all the ways to happening now, tonight is the first night of hannukkah. check out the ways to celebrate the holiday. we have a list on the twitter page. we are paying tribute to mayor ed lee on the digital platforms. can you find photographs and messages and videos honors his life. again angry, over a presidential tweet which they calll crude and sexist. congressional democrats are furious tonight over a presidential tweet they call crude and sexist. more than 100 democrats have been call for congress to look into sexual misconduct claims against the president. that prompted president trump to lash out today and his target was new york senator can kirsten gillibrand. one at least six senators calling for his resignation. the president tweeted that gillibrand begged him for campaign contributions and quote would do anything for them. words that were taken by many as being sexually suggestive. >> it was a sexist smear attempting to silence my voice. and i will not be silenced on this issue. >> grotesque. it took my breath away and it represents the conduct of a person who is ill equipped to be president of the united states. >> the white house maintains there was no sexual innuendo and the tweet simply addressed the current campaign system. minority leader nancy pelosi called the tweet disgusting. democratic senator elizabeth warren accused the president of bullying senator gillibrand. up next, results coming in alabama's special election process p will an update on the race involving the controversial can candidate roy moore. >> and the passing of mayor ed lee how the community reacts to the death of the first asian-american mayor. the nation is watching. the controversial senate race in alabama... right now at 6:30, the nation is watching. the controversial senate race in alabama unfolding within our eyes. we are expecting a dramatic conclusion tonight. now the polls closed about 90 minutes ago. the early results are pouring in. >> who will the alabama next u.s. senator, roy moore or democrat doug jones? we'll go straight to janelle wang who has updated numbers. >> since i saw you at the top of the hour. roy moore pulse ahead slightly pu. but the race is too close to call. now with 35% of the precincts reporting. roy moore with 52% and doug jones 47. both wachgt closely from the viewing headquarters. live pictures from montgomery alabama and in birmingham alabama, a crowd there hoping to change a deeply red state blue. both candidates cast ballots earlier today. moore continues to have a lot of support, including from president trump, despite growing allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls. democrat doug bes jones knows he has an uphill battle but has significant support, including from former president obama. still a tight race to close to call right now. if roy moores wins he could face another battle, a congressional ethics investigation, gop senators will also reportedly meet tomorrow to discuss what happens next. raj. jessica. >> thank you, janelle. the high-profile race in alabama has defied the pundit it's. few experts were willing to speculate. we can see it's close. >> larry gerston, it's almost like election night but talking about a race in alabama. and a lot of people have been talking about it around the country. what are we looking for? we talked about the allegations at length. what are we looking for in terms of early results how do we determine who wins. >> that's a great question. because the 34% whatever you have right now where is it coming from. what votes are yet to comp. it's easier to count the votes in the rural counties because there are fewer. we know that moore does better in the rural counties. the big counties in terms of population, the birmingham, huntsville stuff like that. the votes take longer. doug jones people are hoping they'll have a wig enough lead in this is those counties to offset the many rural counties where moore does better. >> how much into play will come the push by the democratic party to get new voters in as we've seen with the minority groups especially african-americans. >> it's not just the africa rn americans. if you use the roy moore platform we're talking about muslims, homosexuals, a groups that are anything but white christian. >> all of these groups are likely to feel threatened much more after tonight than they did before tonight. because now we have a real ally in the senate. a trump ally. you have to expect a real kerfufle in the senate among republicans. when you heard judge moore talking today he wasn't talking about beating the democrats. he was talking about the republican leadership that's who he wants to replace. you can see right now particularly if he wins the big fight for the heart and soul of the republican party. that's what we want to watch between now and 2018. >> are you going to be surprised larry if he wins? because traditionally he should win despite the allegations. will you be surprised if he does not win tonight. >> yes i'll be surprised if he doesn't win. a couple of reasons why. we know that judge moore underperforms but wins nonetheless. he won by 4% in the last statewide race. the other thing we must remember this is a special election. they are unique creatures. very few people come out and historically poor people, people of color don't come out in special elections as much as in other elections. you give that benefit to judge moore and extraordinarily republican state. the big surprise would be if doug jones wins. he has carried himself well considering the huge margin that donald trump won by just a year ago. but he has an uphill battle. >> we certainly will be watching for sure. thank you larry. >> and he got new numbers from nbc news. roy moore reading 53% to 46%. as larry mentioned the bigger votes of the populated areas will come in the next 90 minutes to two hours. it's going as scripted in theory right now. stay with us for kinning coverage on the special election in alabama. you can also go to our

residents woke to the news of the mayor's sudden passing. >> he was very passionate about the environmental work and very passionate about so many other causes. >> he devoted his life to the city and civil rights and social justice. and it was a shock. >> as the city mourns lee's death residents and public agencies find ways to remember him. as noon today, public transportation agencies around the bay marked his passing by stopping all cars, buses and light rails for a moment of silence. outside lee's home in glenn park flowers and cards of condolences. >> he was kind. the people i know who interacted with him were very happy with how down to earth he was. >> reporter: mayor lee left a lasting visible mark in san francisco, dramatically changing the sky line with the addition of the city's tallest sky scraper, the salesforce tower. he fought for the homeless and affordable housing. most importantly many saw him as a champion of human rights. the nation's largest lgbtq

nobody had an unkind word to say about him. >> leader pelosi went on to call him, quote, a true gentleman. >> mayor lee leaves behind his wife and two daughters. unfortunately family is no stranger to sudden tragedy. back in 2013 at the local high school graduation mayor lee talked about us losing his own father. >> for me, i lost my father when i was a sophomore in high school. so i knew that my days ahead were not going to be very easy. in fact, i made up my mind as a graduate of public high school that i was pretty much going to go it alone, even though my father had reared me as a cook and my mom was a seamstress all of her years. but she had five other kids to take care of. and i did not want to be a burden. >> london breed is now acting san francisco mayor. >> we're talking about london borrowed. she was until this morning a san francisco supervisorfare from district five and served as the board president. that's from the inner sunset to the haight. she went to galileo high school and uc davis. she grew up with her grandmother in western housing. she will be the first african-american woman to lead san francisco. this is the second time someone was thrust unexpectedly

square. >> the festival of lights is upon us. >> normally this time of year we could get rain in here. and also a storm. but it's clear across most of california at least right now in terms of any kind of storm activity. and that's why i want to start off with a look at the rainfall season to date. we talked about this in the 5:00 show and how much we were behind for december. and you can see so far since october the 1st we have picked up rainfall. over six inches in soont race and inch and a half in san jose. but when you compare to where we should be we have a deficit of 1 inches to 2.62 for the rainfall season which begins october 1st. as of to date we are running about 45% of average in san jose. 66% of average in oakland and 73% ample in santa rosa. it's doable to catch up i think and to be at average or better. we're putting a lot of weight on january and february's rainfall hopes. we talk more about the rainfall chances here just before christmas coming up in about a minute and 30. i want to bring you into the tomorrow morning forecast. just know you need the jacket again. you may be doing scraping on the windshield into parts of the south bay with temperatures down to 38 possibly patchy frost. peninsula at 40 and the tri-valley 34 degrees. be mindful if you are traveling from the tri-valley towards interstate 5. we may have central valley fog. north bay at 32. 44 in san francisco. and average of 40 degrees near the east bay. we are you go talking oakland and near berkeley. start off cold by the afternoon tomorrow we keep the sunshine, relatively light winds. and temperatures going again above average. it's a nice day. you can get over some of the hazy skies and moderate pollution in the atmosphere, 67 in cupertino. . mostlily sunny here 67 danville and 63 in hayward. we'll continue the sunshine towards the peninsula and 66 in redwood city half moon 64. san francisco not many differences. 61 in the ingleside and 64 at the golden gate and the marina. and the north bay 63 in mill valley. and 66 in for my forecast in napa. so high pressure producing the dry, warm stagnant here across the bay area. we get under change here once we hit saturday. cold front drops down. no rainfall with this. but breezier conditions. if should help the air quality. saturday look for the best air. and breathing conditions we have had in weeks. and then once we hit the following week, december the 21st into the 24th we could get showers moving not bay area. still early on this but maybe rainfall before christmas. i'll keep an eye on it. on the extended forecast it's dry as we have been mentioning the next seven days. temperatures in the 60s for san francisco and the inland valleys with mid-60s to supper 60s for the day time highs. nice weather coming our way. saturday can't wait for the clear here to get in here. >> are you doing the rain dance soon? we're needing the rain. >> i think jeff is in charge of the rain dance. >> i got to pass the rain
