morning unhealthy. livermore at very unhealthy air quality levels. 213 for an aqi value. do what you can to stay safe. limit your outdoor exposure. it looks like this is going to last for quite some time. a live look at our temperatures. 30s, 40s and 50s this morning. the 8th day in a row the "spare the air" alerts and an air quality advisory likely that smoke sticking around through the weekend. rain chances for the bay area around thanksgiving. that will be a welcomed site for sure. we are going to show you on futurecast when we could see that rain and the timing of it coming up in just a few minutes. >> i have some good news to report. all lanes are open. we have this closure overnight. northbound 880 at 23rd. they are working on demolishing that overpass.

it's been going on throughout the week, the last few weeks i should say. look at our live shot. we are seeing traffic looking better on the northbound side. that's the direction the taillights are headed. so southbound 880 looking good with no troubles there. here's a look at the bay bridge. we are getting word of a minor crash not too far from the toll plaza. they are saying just before don't see it here in our live shot but we are seeing some okay conditions out of oakland into san francisco. traffic still light as you work your way into the city this morning. north 101 past sfo. we still have a crash blocking at least one lane. we are seeing some slight delays because of that accident. if you are heading to sfo just keep that in mind. you can use 280 if you work your way north of there into daly city per se. but if you are going to cut across over towards sfo you will catch 380 to get on 101. your drive times look okay. 14 minutes from woodside to sfo on the northbound side of 101. live look of the area and this is just south of where that crash is and traffic seems to be moving at some decent speeds through there. let's take a look at our drive

times out of the north bay. north 101 easy eight minutes no troubles now along the eastshore freeway. a live look outside where the air is so bad in san francisco. you can see the bay bridge there. but it's hazy. other parts of the bay area are feeling it too as smoke from benazir bhutto's butte county -- as smoke from the butte county "camp fire" drifts into our area. katie nielsen reports. >> reporter: class here at san francisco state university are canceled true saturday all because of that poor air quality. we have seen people walking around campus wearing

chico in a parking lot outside a walmart. this is not set up by anyone. volunteers are bringing in the food and supplies including water and donated clothes. as overnight temperatures get colder, there's pressure to find long-term solutions for the people to go. as if all that isn't bad enough, now there's a norovirus outbreak at a shelter in chico. evacuees staying at oroville church of the nazarene are also showing symptoms of that virus. officials are waiting for test results to confirm it. healthcare workers have set up four isolation rooms for people who have gotten sick already. happening today in chico, the paradise town council is set to meet for a second time since the "camp fire" started a week ago. the town council is expected to discuss clean-up efforts, safety of the area and recovery information. officials say the number one focus is to make sure the burned and evacuated areas will be secure for re-entry.

you remember it causes problems. >> yeah. it's nice to just watch it on our live cameras. it's gorgeous and i'm warm inside. >> no back issues. you don't have to shovel it all morning long. >> yes. >> anne makovec, thank you. this morning stormy daniels's lawyer michael avenatti is out of jail. he was arrested yesterday after allegations of domestic violence surfaced. officials saying that the injuries were visible. avenatti denies the allegations. he posted $50,000 bail for his release. >> i have never struck a woman. i never will strike a woman. i have been an advocate for women's rights my entire career. >> avenatti is exploring a presidential bid for 2020. according to online booking records, he is slated to make his first court appearance on december 5th. a group of students in the south bay are demanding action on the homeless crisis within students. the stay state university

tick-borne diseases are on the rise again according to cdc. state and local health officials reported a record number of cases last year. the reason is not clear but experts recommend using insect repellent, checking your body

and clothing for ticks and showering soon after going outdoors. possible warning signs for people with migraines with vision changes. south carolina researchers found seeing wavy lines, light flashes, blind spots or blurriness before a migraine may indicate a higher risk of irregular heartbeat or atrial fibrillation a common cause of stroke. and a new survey reveals that many people use music as a natural sleep aid. younger people are more likely to turn on music to catch some quality sleep. this morning, dozens of animals from a butte county shelt ver arrived in salinas to make room for displaced pets in the "camp fire." 27 cats and dogs took the trip yesterday with the help of more than a dozen shelter workers. the animals were all in shelters before the "camp fire" broke out a week ago. shelter officials say the animals brought to the monterey county spca are all eligible for adoption without any fees. >> good to see that happening.

we are not seeing any delays on our sensors. so that probably indicates they are clearing this over to the right shoulder. it did have one lane blocked. 14 minutes from woodside to sfo. so an easy ride along the peninsula right now. in fact, a live look at conditions 101 near 380 interchange. so far, so good there in both directions. new crash reported northbound 880 at montague expressway it's over to the shoulder still light through there. no troubles out of the south bay right now. you're clear through morgan hill. 101 in san jose looks good and northbound 280, 680 highway 101 to 85 through san jose looks good only 10 minutes there. we have a closure due to the niles fire palomares between niles canyon and palo verdes road. keep that in mind. mary. we have been saying all week long just wait until the weekend just wait. but we are looking at unhealthy air through the weekend so it doesn't get any better, unfortunately, for saturday and sunday. the smoke continues checking air quality readings this

morning. in the unhealthy category and even very unhealthy air for livermore 213. when you have aqi values 200 and higher, that's very unhealthy air. 174 in san francisco. 175 in san jose. and santa rosa at 102 for an aqi value this morning. so an air quality advisory "spare the air" alert once again unhealthy air quality for the bay area. 30s, 40s and 50s in the area right now. freezing in santa rosa right now at 32. the visibility because of the smoke, 2.5 miles in san jose. also looking at hayward, oakland, concord, livermore a

mile and three quarters. that's how bad it is out in livermore there. and we are looking at five miles for napa. now, light offshore winds currently. calm conditions. that's not a good condition. when you have calm conditions, you have smoke stuck over the bay area. that's what we are seeing right now. light offshore winds bringing in all of that smoke. we were hoping that the area of low pressure would be close enough to us by the weekend to bring more of an onshore flow component but now it looks like this low will be farther away from us so not really impacting our weather for the weekend. we are holding out hope at least for next week. so better air quality for tuesday of next week. and then rain chances. now, computer models split a little bit on the timing and on the holiday rain chances

for thanksgiving. this is our euro model that shows some impressive rainfall for next week by around thanksgiving wednesday, thursday or next friday. we'll have a better idea when we get closer to that. 67 for a daytime high today in san francisco. 69 in oakland. 68 in san rafael as well as for vallejo. 70 for fremont as well as for san jose at 71. so hazy smoky skies for the rest of the workweek and through the weekend. chance of rain thanksgiving. better air quality next week. a desperate search continues this morning for a washington man. >> his girlfriend says that he disappeared after monday night's 49ers game after levi's stadium. police say that 32-year-old ian powers went to a restroom at that game but never came back. she reported him missing the next morning. investigators found powers' vehicle where he left it. powers' girlfriend and family hope that volunteers will join them at 10 a.m.

>> reporter: while the warriors publicly wouldn't divulge details, there were more locker room leaks than the oval office. reports of draymond calling outdoor rant on his impending free agency, calling him a name we can't say on tv. a report that said curry went to draymond's house to get his side of the story with no peace pipe in sight. >> kevin, have you and draymond been able to hash anything out? >> no. >> reporter: is this the beginning of the end of camelot or just a speed bump on the road to another championship? >> once we get on a little win streak, it won't matter and this will be in the past. >> reporter: steph curry traveled with the team on the road trip. likely as a peacemaker. but the warriors announced steph will be out at least ten more days as he continues to recover from a strained groin. number 8 here, wide open shot at the net. the goalie isn't there until the coach pushes the goalie back into position just in time to make the save. ha ha! with all the bad news going

on, we had to show you a little fun stuff as the warriors will find out about draymond and kevin durant. they play tonight in houston. highlights and reaction on the late show. i'm dennis o'donnell. see you tonight. another day of poor air quality here in the bay area leaves people reaching for masks and also events being canceled for the weekend. we'll have a list coming up. janice, progressive can help you save over $650 on car insurance.

quality there. so please be safe. be careful. limit your outdoor exposure. 8th day of unhealthy air quality here. concord 37. oakland 46. livermore 35. san francisco 50. san jose 42. freezing currently in santa rosa there at 32. so again the 8th day in a row with a "spare the air" alert and air quality advisory for the bay area will likely stay smoky through the weekend with rain chances for the bay area around thanksgiving. we are really hoping for that. we'll show you futurecast when we'll see an area of low pressure with rain. the timing coming up in a few minutes. wednesday bound 580 bunching you want around the 205/580 connector. drive times going up 28 minutes from 205 to 680. slow speeds down to 16 miles per hour connecting off 205 to 580. gets better at the top of the

pass there with no delays pretty much from grant line towards the dublin interchange. here's a live look where you can see traffic moving not bad in both directions at least westbound 580 at tassajara as you work your way westbound heading towards that 680 connector. looks like 880 starting to get a little bit busier this morning. those taillights working their way southbound 880. you're starting to see some slower speeds between 238 and highway 84. looks like northbound 880 also just a little sluggish. we have a couple of accidents along 880. northbound 880 right at hesperion there's a crash to the shoulder. you can see southbound on our sensors here. 48 miles per hour as you commute towards hayward. once you get on the san mateo bridge, no delays. our other trouble spot on 880 northbound at montague expressway a crash over to the shoulder. really our hot spot in the south bay now is as you head on 101 through san jose. it's bunching up at the 280/680 connector. you can see traffic at 101

more than -- out in the outdoors for more than a few minutes, i would wear an n-95 mask. >> reporter: so this is an example of one of those n-95 masks. you can find them at most hardware stores and also online. might be a little difficult to find just because we have heard that a lot of stores are starting to sell out of them because again this is the 8th day that we have had these unhealthy air alerts and we have actually seen a couple of people walking around campus this morning already wearing some of these mask. that's just how bad it is here in the bay area. live in san francisco, katie nielsen, kpix 5. we have a special section on our website on the bad air. you can check the latest air quality index in your area, health tips on how to protect yourself and the latest on canceled events. find all that in a link on kpix.com. search-and-rescue crews and cadaver dogs will resume

and you're reminded just how bad it was. back to you. because of the thousands of evacuees fleeing the "camp fire" many official shelters are killed. and at one parking lot outside a walmart in chico about 100 people are living at an informal shelter not set up by anyone. 81-year-old donald harden doesn't want to go to an official shelter because he has three dogs so he is living in his car outside the walmart. >> rough. i got arthritis. you wouldn't believe. i have to take pills to -- just to survive. >> volunteers are bringing in food and supplies including water and donated clothing. and as overnight temperatures get colder, there's more pressure to find longer term housing for the evacuees. and on top of everything else, now there's a norovirus outbreak at a shelter in chico. evacuees staying at a church are showing symptoms of this

virus. officials are waiting for test results to confirm it. healthcare workers have set up four isolation rooms for people who are sick. the butte county sheriff's department is getting a lot of help from outside agencies trying to find people still unaccounted for. at least 130 people have been unreachable since the devastating fire began last week. some could be in shelters without cell phones making it tough for relatives and friends to get in touch. but the painstaking search continues for victims in burned homes and cars in the fire area. the paradise town council will meet again to discuss what's next. the officials say the number one focus is to make sure that the burned and evacuated areas will be safe for re-entry. the meeting begins at 7:00 tonight at the laxon auditorium. here's an update on the wildfires in southern california. in los angeles and ventura counties, the woolsey fire has claimed the lives of three

penalty for five of the people accused in the killing. but turkey, where it all happened in the saudi arabia consulate, says that that is not good enough. turkey wants to be involved in the investigation because there were initially 18 suspects on this case. now, this went the -- killing happened on october 2nd. and now saudi arabia officials say that this was preplanned about three days ahead of time. so as more information comes out in the investigation, turkey is really pushing back calling for there to be a real clampdown on these suspects. we'll continue to follow the latest out of the middle east. >> when you read about this in more detail about what these alleged men brought to the airport including bone saws it's disturbing. >> reporter: really haunting, yeah. >> thank you. today stormy daniels' lawyer is back in the spotlight and a free man for now. yesterday he was arrested

understanding full well that there would be literally catastrophe. that's their word. their scientists knew it and we're dealing with it now. >> this year, crab season is off to a good start from south of the bodega bay to the mexican border. it's different north of the bodega head where domoic acid is showing up in crabs. this just in. u.s. retail sales rose at a healthy pace up .8% last month led by strong sales of cars and appliances. wall street hoping to rebound today when it opens up in less than an hour. it had another rough day yesterday with tech companies, banks and insurers leading the fall. the dow closed about 205 points. the nasdaq dropped 64. meantime, british prime minister theresa may says that her cabinet has approved a draft "brexit" deal with the european union. it heads to an eu summit and then to parliament where it faces a tough battle with may's political opponents.

the morning commute is under way. we'll be right back.

it was five years ago that a 5-year-old boy became a superhero for a day and then became a media sensation. miles scott had cancer and the make-a-wish foundation arranged various activities for him as batkid in the bay area. there was even a documentary about it. these days batkid is in remission from leukemia. he is reportedly playing little league baseball. he is going to school. and he is helping out on his family's farm. he lives way up north. but that day was so awesome. there is the late mayor, ed lee, presenting him with an award. and also, um, the former police chief -- i mean, it was just so cool to see thousands of people come together to make this day possible for him. >> amazing. >> once word caught on,

everybody came out. >> filled the streets. >> it was really cool. >> yeah. >> batkid saved the day! saved san francisco. >> we're glad he is doing well. all right. how are the roads? >> not so good. we have this major trouble spot on the eastshore freeway. you can see in the live shot it's causing big delays. traffic is is slow now as a result. so depending on how long it takes to get out of the roadway, slow conditions working your way westbound 80 at carlson boulevard breaking up through there westbound from 4 to the maze. 22 minutes on your drive time. backup to san pablo dam road, heavy through there and bunching up closer to the crash. we'll keep an eye on that to see how long it takes for lanes to clear through there. once you get past that it gets better until you approach the maze. the metering lights are on so traffic is backed up at the

toll plaza at the bay bridge. 22 minutes from the maze as you head into san francisco. passes the metering lights free-flowing on the upper deck into the city. live look at the san mateo bridge, not bad. easy ride from 880 to 101. richmond/san rafael bridge okay from marine in a bay parkway to the boulevard. that's 8 minutes. 30 minutes, 80 to 101. we are tacking you about another day of unhealthy air. unhealthy air through the throughout the bay area and livermore at 213 for an aqi

value. and anything about 200 and higher is very dangerous unhealthy air. we are an air quality alert and air quality advisory. the coast and central bay and the east bay worse today. a live look from the "salesforce tower" camera with the hazy smoky skies. 30s through 50s right now. low visibility because of the smoke. so let's talk about the winds. light offshore winds bringing in more smoke from the butte county "camp fire" and right now just calm conditions for many spots and that's not good

because the smoke just stays stuck over the bay area. we need a good onshore flow to kick out the smoke here. but this ridge is still in place. it's weakened a little bit but it's still the dominant weather feature for us. we were hoping that this area of low pressure would bring onshore flow for the weekend. now this low stays farther away from us and that means we'll continue to see smoky skies through the weekend. now, we're looking at next week. better air quality for next tuesday. the wind direction does change hopefully by then. and then we are looking at rain chances as we go through next wednesday, possibly thursday and for friday. now, the computer models split a little bit on that holiday rain chance. this is the euro model one of my favorite models there and it does show some impressive rainfall. let's hope that the european model is correct there. but 67 currently for a daytime high in san francisco looking at 69 in oakland as well as

for mountain view. 70 in fremont. 71 in san jose and santa rosa as well as for napa. so hazy smoky skies not just today, but for tomorrow also through the weekend. i know all week long we were saying, it gets better for the weekend and now it won't be the case. better air quality at least by tuesday and rain chances again by thursday. 5:51. looks can be deceiving. a seemingly healthy dog may have a heart disease. >> and a live look outside right now at the richmond/san rafael bridge. we'll be right back. you know when you're at ross and you find a deal on cookware that makes you say. yes! ...oh, yeah! bring on the holidays! that's yes for less. everything you need to prep, cook and serve up the season. it feels even better when you find it for less-at ross.
