of topics, including canadian prime minister justin trudeau. trebek says trudeau has a sly way of ending meetings. he has a buzzer under his shirt he can use to signal his assistants when it's time to come and get him. trebek says he noticed during a meeting with the prime minister. he says they were talking, trudeau scratched under his shirt and ten seconds later his assistants came in to get him. do you believe him? i think, don't argue with alex trebek about buzzers, right? >> it's a genius idea for someone who has to sit in a lot of meetings. >> what's reggie doing? >> it worked! >> time to move on. >> it worked. >> modern technology. that's my key to go ahead and take over, huh? >> from now on. >> i like that. >> let's take a look at what's

going on in san rafael. you can see the sky is not quite as milky as it was yesterday, but it's still a little hazy and a lot of smoke out there. still a "spare the air" day. unhealthy air for all of us. a little cooler this afternoon. wid shift beginning friday. i think that's when we see a significant change in the air quality. beginning monday even a more significant change as rain starts to roll in. at least a chance of it. 65 to 69 most neighborhoods. you get out to the periphery, ukiah, and down through santa cruz, low to mid-70s. tonight will be slightly cooler this morning as the high clouds that are keeping this morning up a little bit will be gone. it will still be smokey and we'll have mid to upper 30s in the inland valleys. a few sprinkling o degree temperatures so there will be frost. here we are monday. the system is slowing down a little bit but it's coming in in

two phases. here we are. see the green right there, tuesday, 10:00 in the morning, first chance of rain rolling in through the afternoon and evening hours. then it transitions up to the high country while it becomes snow wednesday as we watch the next system roll in for thanksgiving. more snow for the sierra. not great for traveling, but we need it. it's a sacrifice i think a lot of us will be happy to make. low to mid-60s at the coast through sunday. we'll be in the 70s everywhere through friday. with the wind shift, 60s take over and all 60s next week. alexis? >> thank you, mike. we're checking out the san mateo bridge where we have a lot of smoke along with the rest of the bay area. basically anywhere you're commuting today. once again it will be part of your drive or mass transit use, but we're not seeing any major slowdowns. just starting to see volumes on the westbound side of state route 92 fill in. still don't have a lot of information about this collision in the vallejo area. westbound 80 past the westbound

be human and what it means to be americans. >> talk to a group of young students yesterday. a couple said, i don't even know why i was picked to be here to talk to you because that's how a lot of us think. us, i mean wernlgs i mean, underrepresented folks, folks who are other. we feel somehow that our stories don't matter. and that's because we hear so few stories. >> and you can watch the full interview coming up at 7:00 on "gma." two b.a.r.t. stations in san francisco now have canopies protecting their entrances. happening today, b.a.r.t. will celebrate the upgrade with a ribbon-cutting event. this is what an entrance to the powell street station looked like for several months during construction. workers built glassy covers over the stations and the civic center station. they'll also build the same canopies at montgomery and embarcadero stations. let's turn to alexis. >> good morning. b.a.r.t.n' t issoal about. we're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza.
