were blocked. just partially blocking the far right lane now. there you go. you're already heavy south of the 280/680 split. i will definitely follow up on that in a few minutes. this situation is not blocking but a little bit further north, northbound 101, moffitt boulevard, solo vehicle crash, it left the roadway, flipped over. a driver with injuries. just the shoulder block. we have emergency crews on the scene. not seeing any onlooker delay right now. next traffic update at 5:50 a alexis, thank you. dr. ma linda jackson is here this morning. in depth on some of those talked about moments from the midterms. >> but first more election results.

>> we're not the only ones under the gun with a fire danger. sacramento valley, 2.4 million people, same time frame as us, 10:00 tonight through 7:00 friday morning. morning. mornin.

tkpworpbgs looki gorgeous looking sunshine. getting rain a lot this time of year. 68 in yosemite. here's my forecast for tahoe. quite a roller coaster. 60 today. 46 tomorrow. nearly 60 saturday. 48 sunday. mid-50s next week. all right. over to jessica mike, thank you. reminder for all of our viewers that you can get updates on the election results at the bottom of your screen. right now we want to dig deeper into some of the issues. we brought in political science professor dr. melinda jackson. i know you were here last night. so it's quite an early morning for you. one thing that really has made headlines is just how many women have been elected to congress. >> absolutely. we had a record number of women running for congress, many who are first time candidates, many of whom won their races. a record number of women will serve in congress. partly this is in response to president trump's election.

we saw the women's march right after he came into office. we are seeing issues around gender issues and the desire to have more women serving in public office. >> as we talked about that, there were some republican women elected obviously into congress. a lot of those newly elected, the first time running were on the democratic side. and there has been a shift now in the democrats holding onto the house of representatives. how is that going to play out as we look into the future. especially as president trump wakes up with a very different washington, d.c. this morning. >> yeah. it will be a different political dynamic the next couple of years. the republicans no longer have control of the white house and congress. the democrats are going to push back. they are going to pursue some investigations i'm sure of president trump and the

administration. they will emphasize issues like health care in a different way than republicans have. >> tight race in texas. people thought o'rourke would pull through there. he did not. people thinking he's a breakout star. we look for him in the future in 2020. do you see anyone else from last night? because there were so many newly elected officials. >> well, our own gavin newsom of course. a potential 2020 candidate. or maybe the next election after that. kamala harris, another california candidate. and we are seeing real energy on the democratic side. even though not all of the democratic candidates won, we think about gillum in florida, for example, didn't win this time. but also made a real splash on the national scene for the democrats. so i think they have a lot of new, young talent.

and we'll see how that develops the next few years. >> you mentioned gavin newsom, former mayor of san francisco. let's talk about more locally. we had proposition c, very controversial. it has passed. do you have thoughts on that and how people people turned up to vote. >> record voter turnout for a midterm election. that does speak to the enthusiasm, especially here in california. housing issues, homelessness, huge issue on voters's minds. the passage of prop c, despite the political battle, really speaks to the -- how strongly voters feel that something needs to be done. >> i believe prop 1 still too close to call. prop 1 and prop 2 also dealing with homelessness here in california. it really has been a focus this year, right? >> absolutely. we are seeing it on our streets every day.

californians want to see people getting the help they need, getting shelter. it touches all of us up and down the ladder here in california. >> professor jackson, thank you for being with us this morning. i will check in with you a little bit later in the newscast. reggie. >> thank you very much. more results in a moment. first, you're never more than 7 minuteshe re y his, rocking and rolling yet, but they will tonight. humidity, 18%. that means the air at this temperature is only holding 18% of its total capacity. that is extremely dry. if you run on sun, let this day energize you. if you like warm weather, let it bring you happiness. that's what we have today. watching the models, they keep flirting with rain every 14, 15 days out. then it falls apart.

same thing. a little bit of a chance at thanksgiving. i bet it will fall apart. watch this. 75 in milpitas. san jose, 78. low 80s in morgan hill. 73 to 78 degrees. warmer along the coast. breezier today. 65 to 6 9. 76 to 81 through the north bay valleys. 74 to 77, that's it for the east bay shore. a little bit warmer in our valleys. about 78 to 81 degrees. tonight's temperatures below 1,000 fetal. our deepest valleys in the 30s. the rest of us in the mid to upper 40s. 50s around san francisco, oakland, antimateo. n hills where it will be breezy, temperatures in the 50s to low 60s. tomorrow may be a degree or two cooler with the high fire danger. it tapers friday. so do high temperatures by a degree or two. hold that steady through the weekend and next week.

>> good morning, mike. a couple issues to talk about on the roads right now. looking live at emeryville. crash westbound 80 around university. i'm not seeing much on this camera. it would be at the top of your screen if we could see it. all vehicles involved are off on the shoulder. definitely filling in and slowing down on the stretch as folks head towards the bay bridge toll plaza. at least one lane blocked, possibly two in san jose. that is due to a multicar crash. crews working to clear that now. averaging between 9 and 15 miles per hour approaching that. mass transit still looking great. is bart, 46 trains in service, no delays. ace 1 and 3 on time. no delays with vta. what is going on with daylight saving time? >> first a look at more local measures.
