and in the first alert forecast, just before sunset tonight, a little before 5:00, we had this thin veneer of clouds show up. it gave us a beautiful sunset. but the clouds are not sticking around long enough to give us a blanket. it is going to be cold again tonight. especially if you are in the north bay valleys. i will show you what to expect sunday morning coming right up.

tis the season. holiday is a time for giving. especially true this thanks giveing with the soaring cost of food. >> this morning one donation stood out and shows how one person can make a difference.

john ramos has the story. >> reporter: for many people, san francisco's tenderloin is a place to enjoy, full of danger and despair. but if you look closer there are examples of man's higher nature shining through. the saint anthony's foundation building is bustling with activity after a long covid hiatus. volunteers were compiling hundreds of hygiene kits to hand out to the people who call the tenderloin home. >> it feels good to treat people well. >> reporter: the ceo says people doing positive things in a place like the tenderloin can literally push out the more negative antisocial behaviors. >> so everybody will come here and do something good is helping us to transform the neighborhood of san francisco. >> reporter: and if there is one person who epitomizes that example, it would be pierre schmidt. in 2012, he collected 19 turkeys from his neighbors to donate for saint anthony's holiday food drive. but things

have grown since then. >> i had no idea this was going to be where i'm at now. but, i started something. >> reporter: today he delivered 679 frozen turkeys. and he will do the same thing again right before christmas. his donation is so large that beyond the holidays, it will help provide food for saint anthony's kitchen throughout the year. it is an amazing example of what can happen when one guy commits himself to a simple idea. >> i'm not extraordinary. actually, i'm not wealthy. i feel the need to put food on the table of those who don't have the food. number one. and number two, i wanted to do something for my community. >> to me, he serves as a great example to all of us what we can get done. he is a normal person who want to do something good and has done it a long time with a lot of impact. >> reporter: his original donation request has now grown to thousands. and he has

learned firsthand the power of an individual to get things done. >> everyone can do anything they want. you just have to start one day. once you start, it's fine. you keep going. >> reporter: and beyond just a food drive, he sees a larger potential for committed individuals to affect real change throughout the city. >> i see a lot of people sometimes complaining about the status of san francisco. and i said well you have to do something. that's the bottom line. help others help the city where we are. and it will be better tomorrow. >> reporter: in san francisco, john ramos, kpix5. >> saint anthony's is throwing a neighborhood block party. the church hope it is entire city will turn out for it. the more the community embraces the tenderloin, the more positive change can occur. and please consider helping out our food for bay area families drive to donate or volunteer your time,

go to kpix.com/give. or scan the qr code on your screen. that will take you right to the site. and, on the subject of giving, today, the saint francis yacht club organized a bike build. they put together 150 bikes who will find their way to san francisco children this holiday season. they built the gifts together while listening to christmas music. >> and the u.s. postal service is checking off christmas lists this holiday season. the operation santa program gives kids a channel to handwrite letters to santa in the north pole. in the letters, details of what they want for christmas, of course. each wish list will then be up loaded to the operation santa website where volunteers can then adopt the letters anonymously and help make christmas magic come true. >> those letters are going straight to santa. we have a special mailbox. each letter for their wishes this year.

>> this holiday season is operation santa's 110th anniversary. well, we could put a little rain on the list, but to no avail so far. >> we had a clear sky. just as we got to sunset, clouds showed up. just enough that they gave us this incredible sunset. this is the camera on mount diablo taking a look off toward the west. i will hit play on that. watch the clouds move slowly. you will see the colors brighten up. we will change the vantage point using the same camera. we will advance it to right now and the lights of walnut creek all of a sudden appear as to the lights on the other side of the east bay hills looking out toward mount tam. and you can still see some leftover clouds. it would be nice if we could hold onto some of those because it would act like a blanket if we can keep them. and it would temperatures

from getting so cold. we will be looking at mainly clear skies. so, san jose, your temperatures went down. you got down to right around 40 this morning. you are probably going to do that again tomorrow. but it is really the north bay valleys that feel this the month and we will see morning lows once again dip down to freezing. or at least right on the verge. got down to 30 this morning in santa rosa. you are a balmy 54 now. but over the next few hours, the numbers are going back down. so let me show you where we will take this. from the low and mid 50s now, back down to 33 in santa rosa. maybe we keep you right above the freeze mark. san jose, you should only do 42. sounds better. most of us will do low to mid 40s . if you have any access, any influence to the bay itself and whatever little humidity is there, that will help keep temperatures a little warmer for you. if we use the north bay valley numbers, it went down to 30. i don't think we are going that low again. but tomorrow at 33, 34 monday so if you could call that a warming trend. but it is still

going to be 37 degrees nor the morning low wednesday. it will never improve a whole lot. but at least we will pull you away from the freeze and the frost concerns by the middle part of the week. meantime, daytime highs are not an issue at all. pretty much right on the market for average this time of the year. this is what most of the last two weeks have been like since we turned that exciting storm cycle off that we were in. we got rain earlier in the month. remember that? about the last week-and-a-half, it has been this. sunny, mild, wonderful in the afternoons. clear, and cold in the mornings. and we will do that all the way through thanksgiving. we don't see anything in the pacific that will change that pattern. storms are still going way too far north to get here. we will look at the whole four day holiday in a second. if we go past that, there is a hint of the possibility that monday, not this monday, the monday after that, after the holiday, we might be able to start thinking about rain. but shouldn't even go there. it is

too far out there. but considering the level of interest and when are we going to get rain, but not here. look at thanksgiving. we actually warm up. san jose, you will be 71 for the daytime high. on thursday. santa rosa, and the north bay valleys will be in the mid 70s . that will be about six or seven degrees above average. all right charlie, over to you. coming up next in sports, why the golden state warrior's home court advantage is more than just an advantage right now. it's everything. plus, the cal bears crawl their way back into the big game. who won the 125th installment between the

saying it will connect vital parts of the city more easily. community members joined local leaders this morning to celebrate the day kicked off with a christening ceremony led by chinatown's lotus tallis presbyterian church. riders can now enjoy free weekend service from the subway. >> we always come back. i can't think of a better way than to stand in the heart of chinatown. the heartbeat of san francisco, opening up one of the most beautiful hubs of transportation in our city. >> now, this adds a total of four stations beginning at 4th and brannon. and then, the union square, and ends at the chinatown rose station. here is how they are rolling it out. the limited service on weekends started this morning. at 8:00. service will be that rarest of all things in san francisco. it will be free until full service begins on january 7th. full t line will eventually connect to chinatown all the way to bay

view hunter's point. it is coming in 20% overbudget with a final price tag of $2 billion. that comes out to a billion a mile. not to mention, that it is four years behind schedule. and as kpix5's wilson walker reports, it comes with a lot of questions about whether the cost will be worth it. >> looks easy. >> reporter: very little has come easy for bakery owner henry chin and everyone else around stockton and washington in recent years. but, the saga is finally drawing to a close. >> exciting you know. it is good news. >> reporter: that is one big part of the story. a project that has taken a very long time. but, the central subway is really a whole bunch of stories. some of them stretch well into the past. and, others will be with us for a very long

time. >> reporter: 1989, loma prietta shakes the nation. >> san francisco doesn't want to be walled in or walled off. >> when the freeway no longer was going to be restored, rose went crazy and she really pushed and pushed and pushed. >> reporter: chinatown activist and legendary political power house rose pack wanted something in return for the business lost with the freeway so was there any one particular conversation that sold the idea of a subway? >> no. i had a conversation with rose every day. so, is that all right? had to make sure that this project was going to get finished at least in my lifetime. >> so this will be a dramatic improvement for the residents and businesses that live along the corridor. >> reporter: it would take

years, but by 2007, the project had enough momentum and funding that it was going to be hard to stop it. >> it is the cheapest billion dollars you will ever spend on transit. >> reporter: that was despite big questions about costs and return on investment. >> all that money, how many people is it going to serve? is it effectively going to serve them and is it the correct priority? >> reporter: work started in 2010, the tunneling started in late 2013. and, the setbacks were not far behind. >> that it could add another month to the overall schedule. >> there were disputes with contractors over the railway steel. delays in excavating the china town station. >> covid-19 resulteded in a significant decrease in the efficiency of work on the central subway. >> reporter: as for the subway's original champion, she would not get the chance to see her project completed. >> rose was probably the most

powerful poor person in the history of san francisco. >> reporter: so maybe the question we could be asking now is what city landmark might one day conceivably bear her name? >> she left us in 2016, six years later we are finally about to open the central subway. >> i visited the station and it is a very good design. the architecture of the chinatown station is very exquisite. >> reporter: as an architect, howard wong is impressed by chinatown rose pack station. he has been opposed to this project from the beginning. the argument then and now is that the price will exceed performance. >> it is the the central subway's cost rose, several things were eliminated. the moving sidewalks in union square, the length of the platforms which are shortened from four and five car to two cars. >> the central subway in many

ways was a political project. instead of a transit planning project. >> it will bring more business into chinatown and help the business out a lot here. >> reporter: so businesses here are thrilled at the opportunity for more visitors. directly from mosconi center but all the questions about the cost and what we get for it will not go away. at least not any time soon. that story will continue and it will hang over the next big project no matter what that is. here in san francisco, wilson walker, kpix5. here is a live look outside sfo and oakland airport. the holiday travel outlook is approaching pre-pandemic levels. keep that in mind if you are leaveing the bay area for thanksgiving. sfo expects 5 million travelers to pass through the gates between tomorrow and new year's day. that is just 15% below where we were in 2019. across the bay,

create a parking issue and then punish residents for parking where we can. >> we got a ticket for the cars parked on our private property. >> reporter: she said the streets were too narrow so some people park on the sidewalks but she chose to park in her front yard until she got a ticket. >> i'm very frustrated and so is my husband. we are like, figuring out what the heck to do. >> reporter: in san pablo, katie nielsen, kpix5. >> san pablo police do tell us the main goal is to educate people about the ordinance and where they can and cannot park. but, if the cars are not moved by december 1, then they will start ticketing. well, still ahead here at 6:00, it's an age old question. cal or uc berkeley? we will tell you why there is a whole lot riding on the answer. >> we are not quite aware of another school with this exact problem.

anyway, darren, did you ever, yeah, you liveed in yosemite. you are in southern california. so, i'm not used to snow. but, you had a little experience. >> besides minus nine forecast for the morning lows, there was three feet of snow. what is so fascinating about what's happening in up state new york, if you don't have to live in it and shovel it, it's kind of fascinating and it has to do with the shape of lake erie. why is new york getting buried in feet of snow and they are only halfway done? we will put down another four feet of snow tonight. and it is this convergent of geography and meteorology. lake erie has the perfect shape to pummel that part of new york. watch the wind streams. this is very localized. it is not like you have five feet of snow all over the place. you have it in a

very narrow band. that band depends on which way the wind is blowing over lake erie. it is oriented perfect west east. when the wind goes from the west to the east, the water is 50 degrees and the air is 30. you have all the warm moist air pulled up into this storm and it is the perfect snow machine and the wind decides who will get buried next. last night it was buffalo. the winds will start pointing toward syracuse tonight and you will see a whole new finger of snow start to develop right over oswego. syracuse sits right here. and the community is just to the north, they will get another four feet of snow. the perfect orientation of lake erie. back here at home, our issue is the cold mornings. we are doing it

again tomorrow. mid 50s for most of us. but, if you skip ahead to tonighthe air is going 30s mparedthe 60s or the 70s . back here, at home, our story is the dry air allowing the temperatures at night to really plummet. dry air is less insulating so the numbers get a lot lower. that is why santa rosa gets morning lows in the low 30s and everybody elsewhere our humidity is in the 60s we only go down to the low to mid 40s . on the flip side of that, because the air is so dry, you warm up more in the afternoon. 70 in santa rosa while everybody else in the mid 60s . it will get a little better the next few days. so, we will pull you away from freezing for morning lows. and look, there is that trade-off. 68 in santa rosa. not a lot will change. we will keep doing this. we

actually warm up a little more. by the time we get to thanksgiving on thursday, it's the warmest day in the whole seven day forecast. it will be 71 in san jose. but, it will be in the mid 70s in santa rosa. for daytime high on thanksgiving. what about rain? maybe aftethe four-day weekend. so, travel is a go from thursday through sunday at this point. keep your fingers crossed. maybe on monday, perfect timing. and we might get a little light rain. back to you. >> thanks darren. up next, it is america's fastest growing sport. what is behind the pickle ball craze here in the bay area?

the sport of pickle ball taking over the nation. thursday night, we aired a special called pickled with stephen colbert hosting a celebrity pickle ball tournament. the sport is spreading just as fast in the bay area. part tennis. part ping-pong. part badminton. pickle ball is america's fastest growing sport. but don't be fooled by the funny sounding game. players say this latest craze should come with a warning. >> it is very addicting. once you start playing, you can't stop. >> 0-0-2. >> reporter: when the pandemic first hit. >> i got it! >> reporter: cecilia lowe, a

long time tennis player, was having a hard time getting her 12-year-old son nikolai offline. she got him off the internet with the help of a different kind of net. and it worked. two years later, the entire family is pickle balling up to four times a week. >> it's a fast game, it's fun, it's interactive. >> reporter: cecilia is one of about five million pickle ballplayers or picklers in america. >> i got it. >> reporter: a sport that grew 40% in the last three years. part of the appeal? it's much easier to learn than tennis, so pretty much anyone can play it. >> you are part of the community. you get to exercise. you get to socialize. >> reporter: nobody knows why it is called pickle ball. some say it is named after the inventer's dog pickles. others believe it is a nod to pickle boats which have mixed crews since pickle ball is a mix of

other sports. either way, pickle ball is clearly having a moment. it has become so popular, sports clubs are now getting in on the action. >> i'm lifting the ball up and over. >> reporter: todd cramer is the executive vice president at big club redwood shores and says the facility converted one of its tennis courts into four pickle ball courts and that's just the beginning. >> we just kind of hit the tip of the iceberg here. i think it has the potential to be one of the major racket sports. >> reporter: for cecilia, it's a chance to spend quality time with her son who is growing up way too fast. >> we could actually compete together. and i haven't told him i want to play the tournament with him. you want to play a tournament? >> i'm good. >> reporter: well, you can't win them all. >> good job. >> have you play ed? >> no. i play tennis. but it looks like fun. one of these days. thanks for watching and we'll see you back here at
