I think were kicking off a monday pretty well. I hope so. We had so much rain this weekend. Might i say today you guys look fabulous well, thank you. Its nice to be here with you at 4 30 in the morning. What color is your shirt . Im not sure i just grabbed it and ran to work around the bay area today, a lot of clouds now, hidef doppler though fairly quiet at this time. You can see for the most part things staying dry. Now, there is still a chance we could see a few light showers north of the Golden Gate Bridge today but i think that is about it. But look at all the clouds that are dumping over this weak ridge right now and eventually well see the back end of this system sliding toward the bay area as we get into tuesday meaning more rain for all of us. Right now a lot of clouds, slight chance of showers north of the golden gate. The temperatures because of the clouds not bad. How about this . They have lit up the embarcadero looking good as we head into the holiday season. Temperatures right now 56 degrees in oakland. 55 in San Francisco. And 53 degrees in san jose. Well have more on your forecast coming up in a few minutes. But right now, lets talk to elizabeth about the roads. So cool, officially the holidays now. Love that. Thanks, lawrence. Yeah, outside right now were not too bad. A lot of our overnight roadwork we typically see is not there. So not a bad start to our monday drive if you have to work today, westbound 580 through the Altamont Pass. You can see no major brake lights. You will find roadwork in the eastbound lanes of 580 through livermore from greenville road to north flynn various lanes blocked for the next little bit. Up the nimitz in the east bay 880 through oakland this looks great from hayward all the way up towards downtown and the macarthur maze. 15 minutes is that drive time right now between 238 and the maze. Elsewhere to the south bay now, more roadwork this time southbound 880 from coleman to bascomb avenue. This is ongoing roadwork in the area. Otherwise through downed 280, 101, by san jose airport everything clear and mass transit also off to a great start once again. No delays for bart, ace, muni, caltrain and ferries. Thats traffic. Back to you guys. Thank you. 4 38. Black friday the biggest shopping day of the year is still four days away but people already lining up to take advantage of some early deals. They are the diehards. Cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran is at a best buy in pinole where shoppers have staked their ground already. They are camping out. Reporter thats right. Talk about dedication. These tents have been up since yesterday and they have four days to go so hopefully they are warm. Normally we see these diehard shoppers take their places outside the Big Box Stores later in the week but big ticket items like tvs and gaming consoles add up to hundreds of dollars so shoppers say its worth it. As for missing the traditional thanksgiving meal, shoppers say black friday preparations is the new tradition and that thanksgiving comes to them. For black friday its something my daughter and i have been doing since she was three months old. She has never had thanksgiving dinner at home. We have it out here. My mom brings our food. Reporter now, these shoppers say in addition to the deals, its also about the people. Some of the shoppers told us yesterday that they have actually been meeting here for the past three years. As for experts, though, i checked this out and online, they say that waiting in these lines for black friday may not be worth it because deals online are comparable if not better to the ones at these Big Box Stores on the day of black friday or thursday as some stores will be doing. So possibly for these shoppers its the experience. Live in pinole, cate caugiran, cbs 5. Because nothing says thanksgiving like waiting in line for four days. [ laughter ] most shoppers love it. There is a black friday backlash, though from some retail workers. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken out their frustrations online. A campaign asking people to boycott walmart and target is growing. More than 200,000 people signed a petition at change. Org demanding the ceo give workers a real thanksgiving day holiday. Give them the day off. Wont work. Thats the first sign of it. The workers have to come in on thanksgiving but the shoppers are happy. I would rather wake up friday and try to beat the crowds. Im with you. 4 40. Time to cover up. San francisco taking a closer look at public nudity. Plus, remembering the victims of jonestown decades later.

No damage or injuries reported yesterday but something got some spectacular video right there. No kidding that is cool. Lawrence, you were telling us how these forms its all fun and games unless youre out on a boat. They are strong when they are vertical. How fast are the winds . They are a strong tornado. So they can be up to 200 miles an hour. Dont want to be near one of those when they come ashore. Around the bay area, a fairly calm start to the day. A lot of clouds outside right now. Temperatures fairly mild because of that cloud cover, mainly into the 50s toward the afternoon. We are looking at temperatures mainly in the 60s outside. It will be mild especially inland. Still a lot of clouds. Theres still a slight chance we could see a couple of light showers north of the Golden Gate Bridge. So here we go. High pressure is in place. You have this storm system to the north. This is going to slowly drag its way to the south. But throughout the day today well see high clouds over the top of the ridge so thats why were leaving at least a slight chance of a few showers mainly to our north. Otherwise we have to wait until tuesday and then the bulk of the system had drop into the bay area giving us a better chance of rain. Timing this out on the futurecast model clouds early on and then it looks like tomorrow things picking up but not until late in the day. Tuesday 3 00 in the afternoon, we finally begin to see some showers showing up in parts of the north bay and then this whole system slides down across the rest of the bay area. Overnight tuesday night. Then early wednesday morning. But most of wednesday big travel day starts to clear out and thanksgiving day looks very nice and dry around the bay area now. All right. Lets talk about temperatures today. Its going to be a decent day. 66 in san jose, 65 san mateo, 62 pacifica. East bay numbers up into the 60s. Almost 70 degrees in pleasanton. And as you head to the north bay, a few more clouds and again a slight chance of showers, temperatures there mainly into the 60s. About 64 degrees in San Francisco. Next couple of days, a chance of showers returns especially for the rest of the bay area on tuesday in the evening hours and then overnight on tuesday. By wednesday we dry out. Thanksgiving looks dry and warmer. Then it will hold nice and warm, mild temperatures into the weekend. Elizabeth. A nice dry thanksgiving. Thanks, lawrence. Outside now, nice and dry now as well and pretty quiet on the roads. In fact a lot of our places we usually see overnight roadwork were not seeing it including stretches of highway 4. You know the drill. Well get to that in a minute. Here is a live look at the bay bridge looking good heading into San Francisco and it continues to move well across the upper deck towards the incline and treasure island. This is a live look at the san mateo bridge. 14 minutes is the drive time out of hayward and foster city. This right now is the eastbound lanes of 92 heading towards the east bay. So both directions quiet. Golden gate bridge usually we see that overnight roadwork on the approach, not seeing much out there this morning so heres a live look. They should be doing more lane changes here coming up but obviously things are very quiet this time of the morning according to our timesaver traffic camera. Elsewhere if you are coming through the Altamont Pass, no major brake lights 205 out of tracy through the Altamont Pass and through livermore and the dublin interchange. Eastbound lanes of 580 from north greenville you will find various lanes blocked until 5 0 this morning. Elsewhere the nimitz, this is 880 through oakland, the Oakland Coliseum is there in the distance. Southbound 880 is still moving fine towards Oakland Airport actually continues to look good past 238 and all the way down into hayward. Elsewhere a quick south bay check. Southbound 880 approaching bascomb. You may find various lanes blocked. They are doing some ongoing roadwork across that stretch but coming through downtown san jose 280 guadalupe parkway and 101, so far free and clear. Mass transit nothing to note. This is what to know if you want to use mass transit so far on this monday morning. Two thumbs up good to go. Thats your timesaver traffic. Traffic and weather together every 10 minutes.
