once it goes into effect, it will last until 8:00 a.m. friday morning. we're watching the winds development out of the north, northeast gusting over 35 miles per hour at times. we'll look at the fire danger index. we showed this to you many times during the fire season and what it takes into account is not only how gusty the winds are but how warm the temperature is and how low the humidity is. you can see as we get into early tomorrow morning by 6:00, 7:00 in the morning we find high if not pockets of very high fire danger in napa and solano county, portions of the east bay where you can see mt. diablo. as winds subside as we heads towards the afternoon, you can see the fire danger does lesson but we expect another bout of gusty winds early friday morning and the winds, remember, they drag down from dry air dropping humidity levels to bone dry levels. you see tomorrow morning the relative humidify is in the

teens in many spots. you'll feel the dry air first thing tomorrow morning and it does stick with us throughout much of the day on thursday. so overnight tonight, we have calm conditions right now. the winds will pick up after 10:00 p.m. numbers mainly falling in the upper 40s to mid 50s. now tomorrow morning i do expect gusty winds and tapering throughout the day, temperatures though warm for october. 74 and oak labldland 82. 84 concord and antioch. our air quality the next 48 hours, very similar to today. you can see most spots in that good measure if not fluctuating into moderate from time to time but all and all, the 2.5 levels do stay pretty low. here is the seven-day forecast. the next seven days, gusty winds will track tomorrow especially in the hills. the winds calm down friday but all eyes really are on sunday and monday, dan and ama.

resolved. >> finally last month she called 7 on your side. we contacted both assembly member phil ting and the edd. >> once you got involved, once they get involved, like i said five days until a resolution and payments and just like magic. >> michael funny at work. edd did not respond to the request for comment. to check out the ways that michael has helped people navigate the edd, and to contact 7 on your side for help, go to abc7news.com/7 on your side. today microsoft founder and world health advocate bill gates opened up about the covid-19 crisis. during a wide ranging discussion from stanford university, gates talked politics, missed opportunities and hope for the future. >> without using too much hindsight, where did we go wrong? >> the title of my ted talk is we're not ready for the next pandemic. i wrote at that time in the new england journal of medicine how we could get anti virals and

antibodies or high skilled molecular testing available and not much was done pitching to various leaders including the current president, my first meetings with him were really talking about this topic and vaccine work at all. and that's another discussion. we have a lot of vaccines underway. the ones that really count are the ones that will go through a gold standard regulator, which would be the usfda or the european regulator all the countries in the world actually look at those as the kind of blessing they want before their populations say okay, this is quite safe. >> what will be critically important once a vaccine is shown to be safe and is available is getting people to use it. >> i mean, after all the epidemic, the boundary what's the regulator and politicians has been broken. my hope is that there's 20 to

30% of the population that will be willing to takely early on ke helping fellow citizens by the transmission block and benefit that the vaccine brings. >> will that also help to combat the misinformation and conspiracy theories that have been particularly prominent during this pandemic? >> you know, by demonizing dr. fauci or myself, the two most prominently mentioned in some of these inaccurate theories, it could drive people to not wear masks as much or not be willing to seek out the vaccine. now we have to offset that by being creative about the truthful message, you know, the heroes who invent the vaccine, the facts how the safety trials have been done, you know, so we have to push ourselves on that. >> gates said he also believes the platforms now in place for

vaccine testing and drug development could evolve to become more efficient in future pandemics. more to come here. convicts can't vote in california. it's a straightforward ban but it can extend for years after release. this election could change that. a 60-second explanation of prop 17 is next. >> i think the most exciting thing is actually hitting save on my garmin watch and seeing that image pop up. that was really cool to see that. >> run to the polls. a san francisco athlete put a message into running a marathon. and you can watch the final presidential debate between president trump and joe biden right
