those concrete slabs to try to protect people who are dining outside. so far the driver of that toyota 4-runner has not been arrested. anyone with additional information that could help san jose police you're urged to call their tip line. look for this story on abc7news.com. reporting live in san jose, jlian glover, abc7 news. >> thank you. there are still a lot of questions we know about this story and if any changes will be made to outdoor dining now we'll post updates as soon as we get them to abc7news.com and on our abc7 news app. happening today, the showdown over the supreme court officially gets you under way. the con fir make hearing for judge amy coney barrett is just beginning this is coming out as abc news and a "washington post" poll shows thejority of americans thinks the senate

should wait to do this. elizabeth schulze has more. >> reporter: good morning. a contentious hearing taking place today and amid the coronavirus pandemic which is forcing some senators to attend virtually. both the election and the coronavirus pandemic looming large over the supreme court confirmation hearing of judge amy coney barrett. the 22 senators on the judiciary committee are expected to appear both in person and virtually during the four-day event with two republicans, mike lee of utah and thom tillis of north carolina recently testing positive for covid-19. senate judiciary chairman lindsey graham telling fox news barrett will be confirmed before election day. >> that's my home. it will be up to senator mcconnell what to do after the 22nd. but we can easily get her confirmed before the election. >> reporter: senate democrats vowing to do everything they can to slow down the process. >> when the actual vote occurs in committee and on the floor, democrats will not be -- not supply the quorum, period.

>> reporter: democrats, including senator and vice presidential nominee kamala harris are expected to make the case health care is at stake. with the court set to hear arguments on a challenge to the affordable care act just one week after the election. >> we're going to focus on the issues that really explain her philosophy and what she will bring to the supreme court, what changes she'll make in this country. >> reporter: judge barrett will say her philosophy has been shaped by her mentor, the late supreme court justice antonin scalia. according to a copy of her opening statement obtained by abc news, saying that deciding policy should be left to the elected branches of government and the public should not expect courts to do so and courts should not try. if confirms, the 48-year-old devout catholic and mother of seven would solidify a 6-3 conservative majority on the court. on the campaign trail, joe biden refusing to answer questions about whether he would support packing the court, adding justices to shift that balance back toward democrats if he wins. >> you'll have my opinion on court packing when the election is over.

>> don't the voters deserve to know. >> no, they don't. >> reporter: an official also tells abc news democrats are expected to mount additional challenges to the hearing citing safety of senators amid the pandemic. but without a majority in the senate, democrats say they lack meaningful tools to prevent judge barrett from getting confirmed. >> gavel to gavel coverage of the nomination hearing gets under way in about an hour at 6:00 a.m. watch it right here on abc7. today president trump heading back on the campaign trail. his personal doctor says he is no longer at risk of spreading covid-19. jobina is at the live desk with the new claims the president is making this morning that go one step further. >> yes, they do. good morning. just days after leaving the hospital, president trump now says that he is immune to the coronavirus. the president's physician did not say whether he had tested

negative for the virus, but president trump says he is no longer on medications for the virus. as for his immunity claims, scientific evidence is unclear on whether people who have recovered are protected from a second infection or how long any immunity might last. >> looks like i'm immune for, i don't know, maybe a long time, maybe a short time. it could be a lifetime. >> this as dr. fauci accuses the president taking his words out of context. dr. fauci said he did not approve a new ad campaign which makes it look like fauci was praising the work the president was doing. the trump campaign says it plans to keep running the ad. today governor newsom is set to give an update on the state's response to covid-19 and the wildfires. last week the governor signed an

attend but you can watch this streaming live on facebook. > >> trying to imagine carving that. >> no. chainsaw? and they're not edible either. they don't taste good at all when they get that big. you can't make pies out of them either. let's look at what's going on. starting with neighborhood temperatures. good morning. we're clear in our east bay and look at those low 50s. low to mid 50s through t t wo upper 60s out highway 4. temperatures mainly in the 50s. we have a 60 in pacifica. 61 in los gatos. 49 in napa. here's the east bay hills, a warm 70 right now. if you're working from home, everything will be may need the air conditioner if not today moving forward. monitor the air quality if you're out and about or if you're out exercising. also look at the air quality right now. everything looks green. we are doing well.

but as we move into the forecast, the bay area air quality management district still has today and tomorrow as spare the air days because of the potential from the air quality monday, today and tomorrow up in the north bay. if you're following drew on twitter, he put out a visible satellite yesterday showing the smoke hardly putting out any -- or these fires hardly putting out any smoke right now. let's look at the smoke forecast, as we head through today and tomorrow, we're pretty clean. so let's look at wednesday. wednesday is looking clean. most of the smoke staying down to the south. some of that tries to leak up towards us for thursday, those offshore breezes get stronger. but that's about as far as they get as we head into friday. hopefully today and tomorrow will be our last spare the air days for a while. we have warm temperatures and critical fire conditions possibly coming back. we'll look at that coming up in the accuweather seven-day forecast. let's get over to jobina and talk about the morning commute.

hi, jobina. >> hi, mike. good morning, everyone. we'll start off with a live look in oakland showing you our 880 at the coliseum camera there. i want to see if there's a slowdown at this point. as you travel northbound between 23rd and 29th avenues you will run into some roadwork in the area. you can kind of see those brake lights off in the distance there. for the most part it seems to be moving smoothly. that road work will pick up by 6:00 a.m. i want to bring in the san mateo bridge camera. this is the camera giving us some problems but nice, clear picture this morning. busy as people make their way westbound. no major issues to report at the moment. hopefully it will stay that way. the l.a. lakers won their 17th nba title and fans gathered outside staples center to celebrate. a fan climbed up a street pole and then fell down into the crowd in downtown l.a. thndsslo a y c the

even though public health officials did warn people not to celebrate or to do so at home because of the pandemic. the crowd was mostly peaceful but there were reports of small groups throwing rocks and bottles at police. police showed up dressed in riot gear to disperse the crowd. tmz reports the team's victory parade will be postponed until the pandemic is over. i saw so many nice tributes to kobe bryant. >> that is nice. happy for them. they've been through a lot this year. all right. coming up, a push to reopen travel between the u.s. and london. the work happening now to make it possible for the holidays. don't say that. i was supposed to go to london this wednesday. still getting over that. new information about the death of a san francisco forever,iref. a report reveals what happened in the moments before a three-story fall. >> dan

what? never. are you kidding me? for years, the residential burden has gone up. while the corporate burden has gone down. prop 15 reverses that. it closes corporate loopholes and invests in schools, small business, and firefighters. and when the big corporations pay more, your tax bill goes down. that's right. a savings of a hundred twenty-one dollars a year for the average home. give homeowners a break. vote yes on 15.

in the tubbs fire. the flames, the ash, it was terrifying. thousands of family homes are destroyed in wildfires. families are forced to move and higher property taxes are a huge problem. prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims so families can move without a tax penalty. nineteen will help rebuild lives. vote 'yes' on 19.

all right. let's look at what's going on around the state. first we'll start with where our heat is coming from. it's starting to build down in southern california. a heat advisory starting tomorrow through friday, at least 12 million folks going to be dealing with some dangerous heat there. temperatures today in the mid to upper 80s. palm springs rocking the 100s. mid to upper 80s in the central valley. 74 in monterey. wednesday, you can see the offshore breezes just starting to develop in the north bay and the east bay. 90s, low to mid 90s there. while the rest of us have 80s and a few 70s holding on to the coast. thursday the temperatures are too cool for san francisco. i think you'll get near 90 like the rest of us. same thing on friday. the models have a hard time adjusting to the offshore heat. so i think it will be in the 90s everywhere come friday. we'll look at the weekend possibly a little bit cooler weather coming up.

>> thank you. a protest is planned today in response to an officer killing a suspec this weekend in san francisco. an attempted carjacking suspect was shot and killed by an sfpd officer saturday night after that suspect led police on a chase through the city. police say the driver crashed at market and golf streets before running to otis street. at least one officer shot the suspect and that man died at the scene. police say they recovered a knife. that incident was captured on body cameras. police, the d.a.'s office and the medical examiner are investigating. and new details about the san francisco firefighter killed in the line of duty last week. jason cortez died after he was knocked over a third floor fire. ercise. from athat h accidenopet those details were released from a preliminary report into his death. the fire department says it will investigate whether covid-19 safety measures which included

fewer firefighters taking part in the training activities might have played a role. cortez was a 13-year veteran firefighter and a paramedic. cal osha and police are condu conducting their own investigations. a riverside family's halloween decorations are so realistic people called the fire department thinking that there was an emergency. this raging inferno looks like it's engulfing the home, but it's actually a display that's all in good fun. the family started putting up pirates of the caribbean themed decor three years ago and they added realistic looking flames and got the fog machinet sme. neighb some called 911 thinking it was a real fire. >> we had a hook and ladder here, another big truck on the side. initially they thought it was a fire. they got out of the trucks, they walked around, gave my husband a high five and said great job it looks so good.

>> the family hopes this year's attraction will delight and not alarm everyone especially with all the challenges that 2020 has brought. i'm on the fence about it. i think it's creative. i love halloween, but also given our fears of fire right now, i could see why neighbors would get anxious. >> i think that once the firefighters actually are called and arrive, that's when we change up the decor. >> right. too far. >> it looks very real. i can understand why people were upset. it's also weird that they're like, funny. >> i understand both of your concerns. i appreciate the effort that went into that. that was pretty impressive. too impressive i guess. here's what's going on from the east bay hills, 71 degrees right now. marine layer almost nonexistent. we have spare the air through tuesday. wednesday through friday, moderate risk of heat illness and critical fire conditions. i wouldn't be surprised if we are not in a fire weather watch

and eventually a red flag warning for wednesday, thursday and friday. the reason we probably won't be under any type of heat advisory, probably is because our nights are so long and so cool. up in the hills looking at temperatures in the 60s and 70s for lows. here's an area of high pressure, you can see it off our coast down to the southwest. that's what is steering all of the hot weather our way eventually and anything that would cool us down it will keep well to the north of us. we have about 83 to 87 through most of the south bay. could get near 90 in gilroy and morgan hill. near 80 to the low 80s on the peninsula today. check out the temperatures along the coast. 70 for you with mid to upper 70s in downtown and souanusit 83 to 88 through the north bay valleys. along the east bayshore, 80 to 84 degrees. inland we have 87 to about 89 degrees. here's the relief. look at these temperatures, temperatures in the 50s tonight.
