don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. so you're a small bor a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business.

issues. she's stepping up as a poll worker in santa clara county. >> just everything that's going on, i think that it really strikes a chord with me that right now is a time for change. >> reporter: in years past polling locations have typically been staffed by older volunteers. a pew research data analysis found that during the 2018 general election 58% of u.s. poll workers were 61 and older. 27% were over 70. of course this reflects a high risk population during the pandemic. >> i think that makes it really necessary for people younger and healthy to sign-up and volunteer their time in order to kind of take that burden off older folks ter: the registrar able. voting office will open 100 voting centers october 31st. >> those who are not able to work with us, they called us and told us i'd love to help you,

i've helped you so ma dadut an . seaornt to protect our democracy, and i ink lot of students have more time on their hands to do that. >> reporter: in san jose, i'm amanda del castillo, abc 7 news. >> and on abc7news.com we have all the election information you need to know. that includes important dates by voting by mail and a guide to all the state propositions. you can just head to abc7news.com/election to get that information. okay, happening today b.a.r.t. will close part of a trackway in the east bay so that crews can work on the track. the track will be fai a station.rengraea that hayward bus svil be provided for those who use that route. the closure will run through monday. and the jewish high holidays began at sundown last night.

rosh hashanah marks the jewish new-year. traditionally many jews pray and celebrate during services at their synagogue, but the pandemic is limiting indoor gatherings of course so many services is online. yom kappur begins next sunday, and that one is the holiest of all holidays. and ruth bader ginsberg was jewish, and it was notable she passed on rosh hashanah at the start of the new year. >> you asked me how my daughters reacted, and it was very sad. just an amazing woman. good morning, everyone. we're looking at some changes today. we were just getting used to our clean air. well, we're certainly not going way back in the opposite direction but just enough we have a spare the air alert. live doppler 7 and fog

right along the shoreline. you might run into a little bit of low clouds if you're headed out so be careful. it is 60 in belmont. taking a look at the north feeling kind of cool with low 50s. 55 in napa, 60 in san ramon. visibility reduced in napa, santa rosa 1 to 2 miles, and looking at our 24-hour temperature change if you notice it is beginning to feel a little like fall, anywhere from 3 to 8 degrees cooler in our east bay and then 5 degrees cooler in our north bay. as we look at the shorter days that sun feels pretty good in the afternoon, but those nights getting longer and certainly cooling off. so warmer weather, smokier this weekend. looking at the warmer days especially tomorrow. that spare the air alert today and autumn arrives tuesday morning. here's a look what to expect in

the next 12 hours or so as we look a you can see a little bit of rain shower activity there. but notice the winds. this is the wind flow where winds are coming out of the north. that's why we think the fire from the august complex fire and the other fires in northern california will begin to move down into primarily the north bay and then into the east bay. so as we look at our smoke forecast in further detail, 8:00 this morning, the higher we are on the scale with the vivid colors indicates the least in terms of good air quality. so the worst air quality here for the north bay. continues to seng into 9:00 today. and as we get into your sunday doesn't look like a whole lot of change out there in terms of the smoke, but look what happens on monday, this gets pushed out of here to the north and northeast, and better air quality in time for the beginning of fall. so today the worst air quality certainly in the north bay, for us our inland east bay.

elsewhere it should ilbe ml cony say 79 in fremont, 80 in a vallejo. look for about 80 in san jose, and then along the coast that fog will be clearing, but the haze will be with us from the north bay to the east bay, so just keep that in mind if you're headed out. the accuweather seven day forecast looking at temperatures today from the mid to upper 80s inland, low 90s inland for your sunday, and by monday with breezier winds out of the west, that cleaner air should be with us. fall begins on tuesday. we're going to pay attention, liz, to the end of the workweek. winds are indicating that they're going to be offshore, and that will be something we certainly have to watch. but between now and then looks leak the smoke with us for today and tomorrow, but some nice fall weather ahead after the weekend. >> i definitely noticed it. i thought starting toat
