professor hadar avaren could change the presidential race. >> this will be a detriment people accusing him of downplaying the pandemic or learning from his own mistakes or he could ride on a wave of sympathy from behind and recover the problems with his current campaign. >> reporter: there is a question that lingers. if the 25th amendment is invoked, who would be under the hood? >> what might happen is that pence will take over the presidential duties temporarily while trump remains on the ballot. >> reporter: president donald trump is 74 years old and clinically overweight, two factors that place him under the high risk category for recovery. >> he's not out of the woods, if you take all people of his age and his situation at this point in the progression, you would have to say his chance of passing away from this is at least 10%. >> reporter: dr. wachter believes there's a chance president trump could be contagious after recovery and suggesting for the next

beginning to see the signs of that, so we saw patchy fog yesterday. a little more along the coast, and we still have those northerly upper level winds so waiting for that wind shift and the high to nudge its way to the east, and then that's really when we're going to see some better cooling. it's on track for the week ahead, live doppler 7, there's just some patchy fog at the coast but it is lined up from the north coast down to southern california, and then there's a system if you can see just offshore there of the central coast. doesn't look like much but that also will enhance our low cloud deck and in turn bring the temperatures down as we get through the middle of the week and then yet there's another system actually there's two of those systems and the third system will allow for perhaps rain to arrive friday. here is a look at mt. tam. sun coming up at about 7:08 and air quality is still moderate here. good in some spots. it is 55 in the city, 59 in oakland, and san jose. 54 on the coast and you can

barely see the flag there with the winds blowing, 49 santa rosa, 52 novato and napa with upper 50s in our inland valleys. as we look at santa cruz 57. 80 today and plenty of fog here, so looking at cooler conditions by 5:00 to 6:00 degrees along the central coast. we have the coastal fog this morning, temperatures five to ten degrees cooler, above average for this time of year and the haze in our inland east bay, also in the north bay, and a chance of rain friday into next saturday. so with that wind shift, the air quality for the short term is getting a little bit better in spots but look what happens as we get into later tomorrow, more of this yellow and orange is beginning to come our way, because our winds shift from the west to the southwest will bring up some of that smoke from the south. if we get that rain, it's looking like we will, things will really begin to clear out the atmosphere and also the days ahead, leading up to it we're

certainly going to see more moisture in the atmosphere. highs tomorrow in the low 90s inland, so that should be about the same as today, so very subtle differences with just a little bit more low clouds and fog as we start the day. into your tuesday, looking at 60s and 70s around the bay, but it's wednesday, we could have some mist and drizzle and highs even below average. so we'll talk about this system here, it's going to link up with a dying hurricane marie and as most of the moisture moves into the pacific northwest, the tail end of it could bring san francisco maybe 0.2" and maybe a little more in the north bay. preliminary estimates bring in focus for northern california at two inches, and just over a tenth in san francisco. of course that's going to change. it's five days out. 82 today in palo alto. 85 in fremont with low 90s in antioch and the accuweather seven-day forecast cooler today, more fog tomorrow. a spare the air alert through tuesday and then looking at more dramatic changes in terms of

error and they need their votes to get her nomination through. democrats are calling for the hearings to be delayed. senate minority leader chuck schumer says it's irresponsible and dangerous for republicans to move forward with her nomination, all of this of course underscoring and again shining such a bright spotlight on the fact that capitol hill does not have protocols in place to deal with the covid outbreak. there is no testing program in place, no contact tracing, no temperature checks upon entering the building. this is something that many members have been angry about in the months in the past and certainly that anxiety is only heightened in the wake of these new diagnoses. the city of san francisco is opening an outdoor voting venue for voters to cast their ballots this section day. the large site opens tomorrow at civic center plaza. to make voting faster and safer, you can also use a new tool on the department of elections website, wait times at

quarterback nick mullens excited to have two weapons back. >> they're two great playmakers on this football team. even getting on the practice field this week, they're so fast and every practice rep. and every game rep. and we'll love to have their speed, physicality and mindset back on the field this week. >> guys that go out there, do their job at a high level and that's what nick does every single day. i love watching nick play. we have a connection. i love all three of our quarterbacks, i think they're all great qbs and getting a chance to play with nick again i'm excited about it. he's a great qb. >> patriots quarterback cam newton tested positive. he'll not be allowed to play in new england's game against the chiefs. several players on both clubs tested positive. the game is postponed for sunday afternoon and likely played monday in kansas city. we'll wait and see. brian hoyer could start at quarterback for new england. the pac-12 announced their seven-game football schedule. no fans are allowed throughout the conference including the 123rd edition of big game which

soccer now, jackson scored the game winner, and first half quakes down 1-0. nick lima the cross, and marcos lopez first career goal ties things up and the cars go wild. 82nd minute tied, andy rios a penalty kick, lines it up and blasts it home. quakes take a 2-1 lead. he's mobbed and again the cars love it. great fans they have in san jose. the quakes have won two straight defeating both l.a. teams within the week. that's good news for them. that's it for sports. let's send it back to you. >> game three of the nba finals is today right here on abc 7. coverage begins with "nba countdown" at 4:00 p.m. the lakers and heat take off at 4:30 and larry beale and kerry keating for "toyota after the game" around 7:00 p.m. let's get another check of the forecast.

you can see behind me, lisa, it is so pretty. we need peaceful moments right now. >> it is beautiful out there for sure. today is going to be a little bit better in terms of comfort level. we're not going to see the triple digits. sonoma county airport and the concord airport was well over 100 degrees yesterday. a live doppler 7 a little bit of fog along the coast that's not going to make any difference for you in our inland valleys but the overall bigger pattern is shifting, the big ridge of high pressure, that stagnant air mass is beginning to shift to the east and you can see this system here out in the pacific, this will aid in our cooling as we get towards the beginning of the week. there's another system behind it and that third system should bring us some measurable rain friday into saturday. here is our roof camera, very pretty shot out there. mid-50s downtown. upper 70s yesterday, well into the 80s in oakland so we'll trim the numbers back today. 59 in san jose. still warm out there but not as warm and the view from volmer

peak you can see the haze here and certainly with the lighter winds, we're getting those pollutants pressed to the ground as high pressure is still in control and our dominant weather feature. 46 in novato. 49 in santa rosa oner 50s concord and livermore. temperatures climbed 40 degrees yesterday. see how it is looking hazy out there but a little bit of fog here moving into san francisco. so that coastal fog cooler today, hazy, mainly east bay and south and looking at a chance of rain arriving friday into saturday so it's all about the wind shift to get going and that's allowing for some pockets of better air quality, and then the moderate air quality we talked about, but as we get into late tomorrow, notice the brighter colors moving up the peninsula and the south bay, because we're going to have a little bit of a southerly flow at the surface and that's going to bring up some of the smoke from the fires to the south of us. so we're not out of the woods by any means, even though we're looking at the cooler temperatures each and every day that's going to increase the relative humidity, winds coming

from the right direction, as we get into monday, a little change, low clouds and fog maybe making their way up through marin and sonoma, tuesday a better chance of that and mist and drizzle keeping numbers just in the 70s to low 80s for our inland valleys. that's your wednesday forecast. picking this up on thursday, as this system to the south of us and system to the north link up, and here we are on friday, rain is to the north, but we should see the tail end of this system bringing measurable precip down perhaps through the peninsula, hopefully into san jose. so highs today in the south bay, still warm, mid 80s in milpitas. look at 92 in morgan hill. that sea breeze today no 90s for you on the peninsula. 85 in redwood city. 74 downtown and the spare the air alert, cooler santa rosa. 90 there, looking at 83 san leandro as well as castro valley. fremont about 85. upper 80s to low 90s in our inland valleys and the accuweather seven day forecast hazy with the morning fog

through your monday. change on tuesday, slightly kee cooler, autumn weather wednesday and thursday and coastal drizzle and chance of rain coming into the north bay late on friday. a level one system arriving, everybody cheer on saturday. woo woo! >> i know. we need it. thank you, lisa. when fires or natural disasters hit it becomes easy to get separated from your pets and n the chaos of it all. an east bay cinematographer is using infrared drone to make sure that doesn't happen. abc 7 news journalist melissa pixcar introduces the man with the tech when it matters most. >> what you can do the drones animal rescue is unbelievable. doing it hundreds of times already in the past year and a half. during the hurricane, i was delivering medical and food supplies out in the bahamas and filming the destruction of what had happened during the

hurricanes. unbelievable thing i've ever seen how that got wiped out. while i was filming that destruction i was seeing animals walking around through the debris. i got the idea to put an infrared camera so i could spot the animals and worked so well i decided to continue to do it and ended up going to southern california fires. i've been to australia for a number of months recueing koalas, vacaville, oregon and louisiana. pretty much been on the road nonstop. i go wherever the animals need me the most. i see the animal. then i zoom in on it and see i can see the condition of the animal and look at it with the zoom lens. best time to spot them is at night because then the ground is cool and you can see the animal glowing on your screen, tell the

rescue crews where it's at and the crew walks up to it and captures it. still blows me away every single time when we do it, the success rate of rescuing animals is a complete game changer. through activism, eventually led me to this point, i'm protecting the individual animals from natural disasters like hurricanes and fires. my hope is that one day these drones saving animals will be as common as a helicopter saving people after a natural disaster. a quick way to deploy new technology to save animals and wild animals need all the saving they can get and people's pets of course do as well. animals bring so much value to the world, having a world with animals, whether it be wild animals or pets, just makes the planet a better place. it's an incredible feeling to unite someone's pet with them when they lost it. can't even begin to describe how wonderful that feeling is, when you can bring that little animal back and of course that would be the actual most valuable thing they could get back.

i'm hopeful that what i'm doing will inspire others because it works so well and there's certainly a need for dozens of people like myself to be doing this sort of work after a disaster. it's an overwhelmingly wonderful feeling to be able to do that and be part of it. >> that is great. next, firefighters treated to flavortown, what celebrity made a surprise showing at the sonoma county fairgrounds and see what they did to thank the crews for working the front

traffic and air pollution will be even worse after the pandemic. that's why we support measure rr to keep caltrain running. which is at risk of shutdown because of the crisis. to keep millions of cars off our roads, to reduce air pollution and fight climate change. and measure rr helps essential workers like me get to work and keep our communities healthy. relieve traffic. reduce pollution. rescue caltrain. [all] yes on measure rr. 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. as firefighters try to tame the glass fire tearing through wine country yet again, a familiar bay area face is helping give comfort to the people working to get the flames under control. celebrity chef guy fieri is cooking up meals for crews and first responders. at the glass fire base camp. cal fire tweeted photos from the sonoma county fairgrounds.

fieri has done this frequently in recent years making meals for firefighters and evacuees. he helps out crews fighting the complex fire earlier in the season at the calistoga fairgrounds. our firefighters deserve a break. maybe they'll get one if the rain comes? >> yes. winds will pick up out of the west today, 10 to 20 miles an hour and a little bit of a break today with 60s at the coast, 70s in the city. 80 in oakland, with low 90s inland, and we'll gradually get cooler throughout the week and enhancing the low clouds and fog deck and finally looking at rain friday into saturday. so yes, this will all help out. >> thank you, lisa. we're crossing fingers for that. thank you all for joining us here on "abc 7 mornings." i'm liz kreutz along with lisa argen. argen. abc earlier in the season. we have a full hour of "abc 7 new 7 nep 7 news co
