okay, let's get to the coronavirus headlines for california. the state reported nearly 3,600 diagnosed cases. that is above the daily average. there were another 98 deaths yesterday pushing the states total to nearly 16,000. the positivity rate is the bit of good news, holding
6:16 am
2.8%. it's a good indicator of the transmission rate of the virus. and governor newsom has delayed the release of reopening guidance for california's theme parks. this comes after industry leaders criticized a plan that was supposed to be released yesterday. according to the proposed rules parks would reopen at 25% capacity. that's once it reaches the lowest level in the state's four tier reopening ranking. visitors would be limited to people living within 122 miles of the park. industry leaders have rejected that proposal. the state says negotiations are continuing. and happening today a free walk up covid-19 test site is coming to fremont. it runs from 9 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the corner of capital and liberty streets at the fremont center. it's open to anyone 13 or older regardless of health insurance or immigration status, and you don't need to be showing any symptoms, but you will need to make an appointment online first at color.com/ahs. and a free pop up drive-thru site is coming to alameda tonight.

6:18 am
the businesses in business. abc 7 news reporter amanda del castillo has the story. >> you can see a glimmer of that energy coming back. >> reporter: nowhere close to pre-pandemic crowds but the san jose downtown association says there is hope in the city's core. the pandemic pushing scott niece's team spreading operations across 6 weeks instead of the usual ten days. >> for this year we're stretching dine downtown to allow breakfast places, basically anyone that is open that is serving food. >> reporter: places that would normally be packed on a friday night nearly empty. >> it's very sad, and so many of our guests say it if they walk inside the restroom or check in at the host stand to see a completely empty restaurant. >> reporter: the hope is
6:19 am
prefixed menus, food pairings and chef specials will help attract diners to get small businesses through this difficult time when the pandemic and poor air quality are keeping people home. >> we haven't seen a lot of consumers coming around. >> reporter: while the pandemic has been tough on business, dine downtown is a welcome tool to keep this one in business. the expanded program will last through november 15th. in san jose i'm amanda del castillo, abc 7 news. happening today the asian art museum in san francisco is reopening to the public with free admission. home to one of the world's finest collections of asian art with more than 18,000 artworks. and there will also be five special exhibitions on display. tickets are free today through october 12th, but you do need to reserve them in advance. face masks must be worn at all-times while inside.

6:21 am
up not until tomorrow. a couple of times we're going to see that burst of north wind, and one of those times is this morning. live doppler 7 we have a shallow deck of low clouds about 800 feet deep allowing for a pretty good marine layer right along the coast. but the winds are what is the concern. mt. st. helena wind gusts to 30 miles an hour and mt. tam about 32 miles an hour. and as we look at mt. diablo, 23 mile an hour wind gusts out of the north. certainly those conditions with us this morning. they will be a bit lighter throughout the mid-morning hours, but by about 5:00, 6:00, another burst of north wind, what but we have the cooler temperatures. 49 santa rosa, 58 in oakland with 57 enfremont. overall everyone is trending cooler this morning, so certainly kind of a fall-like start to the day. and with the fog here certainly looks like a change of seasons in santa cruz. it's been so hot all across the state. we still have the gusty winds in
6:22 am
the hills today, elevating that fire danger. looking at the cooler weekend, slightly cooler today, noticeably cooler for your sunday. and the chance of rain looks like next friday intosied. current air quality is bad there. where it is pretty bad in concord and oakland as well. and you can see there in the south bay looking at the bad air quality and moderate from santa cruz. so once again looking at those breezy winds, 7:00 this morning look at the wind direction still out of the north. and as we go to about 5:00 they do shift, but it is getting breezy once again. 20 to 25 miles an hour here. so it looks like that burst of wind will be short-lived, which is good news. and the air quality, well, by this afternoon we're still under that haze. but the worst air quality look at sacramento and parts of the central coast. for us the rest of the day on sunday trending about the same and hazy conditions in our spare
6:23 am
the air alert into next tuesday. this is good news as we look at two systems that could possibly link up. tropical storm marie and an autumn cold front. as this moves closer to the coast into thursday the main activity moving into the pacific northwest, but there could be enough moisture and energy we get a bit of rain. remember we have a lot of burned ground, so that burn scar area won't do well with much rain, but we're anticipating the cooler conditions and hoping for the high relative humidity. highs today, it'll be hot again but not as hot in the inland east bay. 92 for concord, 89 vallejo, look for 85 in san rafael with hazy conditions. the accuweather seven day forecast. look at the cool down for your sunday. warming again a bit monday and tuesday, but not too bad and look at a big drop in temperatures as that cold front gets into wednesday and thursday with that sea breeze and highs barely in the 80s inland. hoping for that rain this time next weekend, but too much rain
6:24 am
would certainly not be a good thing over all that burned area. >> hopefully we find that sweet spot. thank you. just ahead it's an annual event thousands of people look forward to each year, but now san francisco's fleet week has to make changes because so you're a small businor 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.
6:25 am

6:31 am
some spots up to 30 miles an hour. you can see mt. st. helena stronger than that, mt. tam as well as mt. diablo. the blue and yellow indicate through noontime right in that area of the north bay looking at that gusty, dry wind and then look what happens by 5:00, 6:00. another burst of wind there. so certainly not out of the woods. we're still looking at a ridge of high pressure over the bay area. 80s there where the glass fire is, and poor air quality today, maybe not as bad in the south bay tomorrow, but the air quality advisory board has allowed our spare the air alert to continue into tuesday. we've got smoky, hazy conditions in our inland east bay with low 60s. elsewhere low 50s with 49 in santa rosa. it's going to be another warm day inland with hazy conditions elsewhere, 80s around the bay, and we're talking about some fog at the coast and even cooler.
