joe biden now taking the lead in pennsylvania. this happened just a few minutes ago. this is a live look at counting under way in philadelphia. the numbers are still coming in from crucial swing states including arizona and nevada. jobina has the numbers. >> thank you. this is one of the reasons why counting every single ballot is so important. look at these numbers on your screen from overnight. biden took the lead in georgia, now ahead by 1,096 votes. biden also has taken the lead in pennsylvania as you just mentioned. he's ahead by 6,000 votes. and this is major these two developments. first a live look outside from our abc7 roof camera. our storm impact scale is back in action this morning. it's been a while. there's so much to talk about on this friday, november 6th. mike is tracking this first chance of measurable showers in months. hi, mike.

>> on that picture that you showed, that was the cold front, the clouds, they are moving south right now. they dropped some rain in isolated areas near the coast, the peninsula and there was a report of light rain in napa earlier. the big story is this afternoon and this evening when the chance of showers and thunderstorms, lightning and hail rolls in. locally heavy rain and gusty winds out there. the cloud cover is moving rapidly to the south. behind it, 20-mile-per-hour to 30-mile-per-hour winds. we had gusts up to 54 miles per hour on tamalpais. so the blustery conditions are, in fact, developing. as you head into the afternoon hours, temperatures won't change much. upper 50s to low 60s. notice the yellows and oranges in the north bay, those are the showers and thunderstorms. i'll put a timeframe on it coming up. >> you can track those showers today at any time on your abc7 news app. i'm sure you will also be

checking out the election results as we inch closer to knowing who the next president will be. >> vote counting is still continuing in pennsylvania where joe biden just took the lead when new numbers were released from philadelphia. here's a live look right now as that vote counting happens in philadelphia. there are five states where the race is too close to call. those other states are nevada, arizona, north carolina and georgia. here's a look at the current electoral college map. joe biden leads with 253 votes. president trump 214. >> so let's go state by state. in arizona, with 11 electoral votes, joe biden leading president trump by more than 47,000 votes. georgia has 16 electoral votes. biden leading there by 1,096 votes. that happened while a lot of you were sleeping. now, in nevada, six electoral votes, biden leading there by more than 11,000 votes. the largest gap is in north carolina where president trump is leading with nearly 77,000 votes. there are 15 electoral votes

there. and in pennsylvania the largest number of electoral votes with 20. we just found out that biden leads there by 5,587 votes. faith abubey joins us live now from washington, d.c. >> reporter: right now widespread rebuke after the president made inflammatory and baseless accusations of voter fraud in this election at a news conference yesterday. after two days behind closed doors since election night, president trump emerged in the white house briefing room thursday making unfounded claims. >> if you count the legal votes, i easily win. >> reporter: the president's baseless comments coming as vote counting continues and his lead in crucial battleground states is shrinking. >> i already decisively won many critical states including massive victories. >> reporter: a georgia where a republican secretary of state

runs elections, a major development overnight. joe biden taking the lead and is now ahead. absentee ballots from democratic-leaning areas of the state closing the gap. in arizona, trump gaining some support but still behind. in pennsylvania where he's ahead, the president's lead down to less than 20,000 votes. >> if you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. >> reporter: legal experts calling the president's unfounded accusations of voter fraud dangerous. >> it's very worrying because there's no doubt that a lot of people who support him think he must be telling the truth. it's really damaging to american democracy. >> reporter: biden tweeting overnight that no one is going to take our democracy away from us. america has come too far, fought too many battles and endured too much to let that happen. some republican lawmakers also rebuke the president's remarks on twitter. trump's staunchest allies also coming to his defense on fox news. >> how is it possible that someone claimed that joe biden

would win and not one republican member of congress lost re-election? >> i ask everyone to stay calm, all the people to stay calm. the process is working. the count is being completed. we'll know very soon. >> reporter: a breaking update in pennsylvania. abc news is reporting that joe biden has taken the lead in pennsylvania with 135,000 votes still outstanding. again, joe biden has now not only taken the lead in georgia but also in pennsylvania. if he does win pennsylvania, this race is over. he's in the white house. in washington, faith abubey, abc7 news. >> thank you. police have been responding to protests outside election offices across the country. investigators have also uncovered at least one planned attack. jobina has all that information. >> thank you. frustration is growing as results loom. philadelphia police made an

arrest and stopped an attack after receiving a tip about a group driving to pennsylvania to target the convention center. officers recovered a weapon and impounded a hummer with a qanon detail and hat inside. last night in phoenix, arizona, hundreds of trump supporters, some of them armed, rallied to stop the vote count as far-right radio host alex jones cheered them on. a similar rally took over the streets in southern nevada. nearly 100 protesters chanted "stop the steal" outside an election office in clark county. the national guard was deployed to control a riot in portland, oregon. there were two groups that marched. a black lives matter group protested peacefully, the second group did not. >> thank you very much. we are updating election results on our website for all of the races. for the latest go to abc7news.com/election. still ahead, san francisco setting the bar with it's

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (beeping sound) ♪ ♪ . welcome back. it's about 6:09 on this friday. here's a look at where the best chance of thunderstorms today looks the same as it did yesterday, about 45 miles within the coast as the area of low pressure is going to slide down the coast.

in fact, you can see it in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. heading to the lunch hour, showers and thunderstorms breaking out in the north bay and then sliding rapidly -- actually not too rapidly, slowly down the coast. by 11:00, looking at scattered showers and thunderstorms outside of the north bay and tomorrow morning we wake up and there's still a slight chance in the south bay. look at the rest of the weekend, it will be blustery and chilly. it's looking pretty dry saturday and even again on sunday when that secondary low blows through and brings us even faster winds, especially along the coast. rainfall potential out of this storm, it's going to be sporadic because the showers will be scattered, anywhere from a couple hundredths to a quarter inch of rain. speaking of those winds, how are the bridges this morning, jobina? >> you led right to it because we have high wind advisories for the bay bridge and san mateo bridge. bringing out the map to show you all that green, hardly any slowdowns heading out the door. live look in san jose, showing

off 101. south bay completely clear. no major crashes or blocking issues. and now bringing in the bay bridge toll plaza, as mike mentioned, very breezy out there. i felt it myself coming into san francisco this morning. the metering lights came on at 5:52. also caltrain directors have voted to close the atherton station. the station has provided only weekend service since 2005. it's one of the older stations and requires more maintenance, part of the station will close starting next month with the closure complete by february of next year. the city of atherton has endo e endorsed the closure. if you need a break from the politics, here's something fun to look forward to. a look at the new lego "star wars" trailer that just dropped. and a live look outside this morning. wow. that is stunning. mm-hmm. stare at that. calm your nerves. we'll be right back.

we are tracking breaking news in the last 30 minutes joe biden has taken the lead over president trump in pennsylvania. he's now ahead by nearly 6,000 votes with 135,000 ballots left to count. the reason you're looking at this is because this is the vote counting center in philadelphia. not a lot of action going on there this morning. but we do know we got a vote dump from them and that always sounds weird to say, that's how they put it. this is partially the reason why we're seeing the lead now for joe biden. that means that biden is leading in four of the five critical races that have yet to be called. overnight biden also took the lead in georgia. he's ahead still in nevada and arizona. president trump holding his lead in north carolina, but we pretty much have known since tuesday that was going to be the case probably throughout. we'll see what happens throughout the morning. happening today, stanislaus

county attorneys are headed back to court to seek the death penalty for scott peterson. peterson will appear over zoom. the county is retrying the penalty phase of the trial after his former sentence was thrown out by the state's supreme court over an impartial jury. san mateo superior court is taking up the issue of the conviction itself. scott peterson was found guilty of killing his pregnant wife, laci, in 2004. the man who killed a newman police officer during a traffic stop has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty. paolo mendoza said he became afraid he would be arrested for dui and shot corporal ronil singh. as part of the plea agreement, mendoza agreed to waive his right to appeal. in return the district attorney's office agreed not to pursue the death penalty. we expect an update from the

santa clara county health department today. they will hold a meeting about covid-19 at 10:00 this morning. t a top bay area doctor consulted joe biden's team on the pandemic. he dug into policy changes with other experts on zoom yesterday. he explained the success of san francisco's model. the doctor says the biggest hurdle is rebuilding trust in masking, testing and vaccination. what we need is clear national standards about in this community or this state or this region your cases are above a certain number, your test positivity is above a certain number. the recommendation is therefore you keep these things open and you close these things. >> the strategy may include a national mask mandate or even a national lockdown. if you have questions about coronavirus we want to help you find some answers.

right now on our website you can find a list of local resources at abc7news.com. new at 6:00, fans of lego and "star wars" are getting their first look at the avengers of this is the trailer from the lego "star wars" holiday special. it is expected to capture the events after the last film ""star wars" the rise of skywalk skywalker." disney is the parent company of abc7 news. >> that looks cute. there's baby yoda. >> that's all you care about. >> any time he's on the screen, my eye goes towards him. >> that's all. i was thinking the same thing.

so adorable. let's look at what's going on. look at the winds on tamalpais. 34 to 56 miles per hour. you can even see from this vantage point that the bay looks angry. it will get choppy with white caps possible. blustery up to 25 degrees cooler. scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon through tomorrow morning. the weekend is going to be pretty windy and trending drier. temperatures just don't change much today. this is a really impressive cold front. when we're waking up in the mid 50s to low 60s and our highs are in the upper 50s to low 60s,s that an impressive cold front. look at the lows tonight. because of the winds and the cloud cover we won't be quite as cold as we could be. mid to upper 30s, ukiah, lake port and santa rosa. the rest of us in the 40s. let's look at what's going on. you can see that bowl of cold air coming straight down over the eastern pacific and definitely coming towards us.

there's three things on the map i want to show you. the cold front, which is pushing through. and then you can see that patch of orange, which is drier, which is the sunshine for the morning hours. you can see the textured clouds behind that. that's the area of low pressure that will bring us the scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. and also bring us dangerous surf along the coast from 2:00 to midnight, up to 22 feet with erratic waves, sneaker waves, and strong winds. so there's going to be blowing sand, blowing mist. an awful day to be at the coast. not like it was yesterday. we're a 1 on the storm impact scale. temperatures in the 50s to barely 60 today all the way through thursday. watch out monday, tuesday, wednesday morning if you have some tender vegetation, you may have to cover it. frost could be possible in our deepest north bay valleys.

christian, reggie? i did that yesterday. i'm so sorry. >> there's something about this time of day. kumasi is here. ginger is here, and me, reggie aqui. we will look at what's happening on "gma" at 7:00. hey, ginger. >> i think i'll blame mike and kristin for the background, too. we get the camera zoomed in. it's definitely friday. i don't know if you all feel that. i will put it on all of you. >> do it. >> coming up on "gma," we do have a show that goes on the air including president trump launching that extraordinary attack. good, a dog barking, just what we needed. the integrity of the election. joe biden seemingly confident urging the country to be patient and to wait for the votes to be counted. our powerhouse political team on the ground still tracking those thin margins in georgia, nevada, pennsylvania and arizona.

and on the flip side, if you need a distraction, did you see this? quite a night for the bachelor nation. bachelor claire and her fiance dale joining us live after that bombshell episode. it's their first interview. if you have not watched, they fell in love and got engaged within 48 hours. that's taking the bachelor and bachelor ette to the next level. that's all ahead on "gma." >> i had not watched yet. >> what? >> now you missed it. >> wait. ginger. we need to move on. so he -- they basically just met each other and then he just proposed? >> yeah. >> friend, it was magic. you need to watch. >> she said that's what i want. they both ran away. the end. >> she didn't care about anybody

that's when i really think it's going to be icy and travel is going to be very difficult across the sierra. if you're thinking about heading up that way to look at the beauty, i would say turn around. it's not going to be a good go. the kumasi? >> all right. thank you. excitement is building in the sierra as the first snowfall of the season is forecast to hit the region over the weekend. resorts like squaw valley have been making snow for a couple of weeks despite the warmer than normal conditions. locals say they are excited to get back up on the mountain. >> i'm super stoked. should be radical. hopefully enough to get some shred on. >> i can't wait. truly, truly, it should have been here yesterday. >> so skiers will notice some changes at the resorts this year because of the pandemic. squaw valley says it has invested nearly $1 million to accommodate physical distancing and to set up sanitizing stations. squaw is scheduled in about

>> friend. coming up next at 6:30, major developments in the race for the white house. overnight some updates to tell you about. joe biden has the lead in pennsylvania and georgia. we have the latest vote counts from those battleground states. michigan, pennsylvania, georgia, all places where vote counting is still happening now and all places where the trump team is slamming the court with lawsuits. i'm julian glover with what we're hearing from bay area legal experts as to if those lawsuits could affect the outcome of the election. and the nba is looking forward to its next season. the plan the players just approved. as we head to break, a live look outside. a gorgeous start to our friday. it's 6:27. we'll

now at 6:30, big developments in the presidential election overnight. joe biden now leading in pennsylvania and in georgia. this is the ballot counting center in philadelphia. the reason why joe biden is now leading in that commonwealth is largely because of the votes that came from here. the former vp now inching a lot closer to 270 electoral votes. good morning, jobina. >> good morning. take a look at these numbers here behind me. these are the latest results coming in from georgia. it is a tight race. and this is why every vote needs to be counted. joe biden is now leading over president trump with just a 1,096 vote difference. i'll have more on the outstanding ballots in georgia in a moment. we want to get to pennsylvania. within the last hour the lead flipped with joe biden ahead by 5,585 votes. i'll have the latest from the live desk coming up. good morning.

it's friday, november 6th. a lot going on. first we want to check in with meteorologist mike nicco. good morning, mike. >> good morning, kumasi, reggie, jobina. the weather will make some noise today also. we're a 1 on the storm impact scale. while it's been relatively dry so far, this afternoon and this evening we have showers and thunderstorms scattered in nature. the closer we are to the coast, the more you will experience those. all of us will be cooler today with blustery conditions. winds gusting up to 50, 55 miles per hour on mount tam. you can see the clouds, not much radar with that. behind that we have the winds. you can see they're blowing across our east/west bridges this morning wa ing making for e dangerous travel across those. the wins will be just as fast during the evening hours with more chances of wet weather as you can see them develops in the north bay this afternoon and sliding south. what it feels like outside? that's what it will feel like most of the day. upper 50s to low 60s.

>> thank you. now back to jobina as we digest the developments in the presidential election. jobina? >> what stunning developments we've had overnight. biden leads in both pennsylvania and georgia. he holds an edge of more than 5,500 votes in pennsylvania and 1,096 votes in georgia. in pennsylvania there are about 130,000 outstanding ballots, many coming from blue areas of the state like philadelphia. and in georgia, there are still at least 8,000 outstanding ballots. both georgia and pennsylvania are among five states where vote by mail and absentee ballots are being totaled. biden has holds in arizona. president trump is still ahead in north carolina. despite the close margin in the vote count. both candidates remain far apart on how they see what's happening here. >> each ballot must be counted and that's what we're going to

see going through now. and that's how it should be. democracy sometimes is messy. it sometimes requires a little patience as well. >> this is the case where they're trying to steal an election. they're trying to rig an election. we can't let that happen. there will be a recount if the final margin is a half percent. biden would need another 28,000 votes to avoid that recount. so let's look at the electoral map right now for everybody so you can see five undecided states appear to be in white. president trump has won the states in red, biden has captured those in blue. the "washington post" reports the secret service will increase protection for biden in case he declares victory. now to a tense situation in the east bay. police were called to a brentwood home after an apparent

joe biden mannequin was found hanging. >>. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] >> tensions paeaked last night between residents and a neighbor who supports trump. this after another resident by them hung a dummy from a noose off of his roof with a sign saying sleepy joe cheater. the dummy's face was covered in what appears to be a black hat or black cloth. >> it's not what he's trying to pretend. it was joe biden. why didn't he put a white doll with joe biden on there? >> reporter: brentwood police say according to the d.a.'s office a crime was not committed but the department forwarded the case to the secret service. officers received a tip of a

group driving to pennsylvania to target the convention center. police rarrested one person, uncovered a weapon and impounded a truck with a qanon sticker. protesters erupted all over the country especially in battleground states, one of president trump's supporters in maricopa county, arizona insisted they just want a fair election. >> we are not here for any conspiracy theory. we're not here for violence. we're not here to fight. >> people were arrested overnight in new york city after hundreds of people marched in manhattan and in portland three people were arrested after protesters lit a fire at city hall and targeted a commissioner's home. republicans are divided on president trump's claims that vote counting has been rigged against him. south carolina senator lindsey graham has even pledged $500,000 to mr. trump's legal defense fund. graham chairs the senate judiciary committee and just won re-election. house minority leader kevin

mccarthy of bakersfield also supports trump's claims. but mitt romney tweeted "have faith in democracy and our constitution and in the american people." as final votes are being counted you can count on a legion of lawyers getting ready to figure out where there are opportunities for court intervention. abc7 news reporter julian glover has been hearing from bay area attorneys to get an idea of the potential strategy. >> good morning. at this point it's clear president trump and his legal team's strategy is to slam the courts with lawsuits in key battleground states in areas like pennsylvania, michigan and georgia and in those areas where the lead is razor thin. but in most cases those legal efforts, they failed to gain traction or effect significant numbers of vote. issues raised by the trump team range from mail-in ballots to voting deadlines to access to counting centers. now the cases so far have been heard in state courts given the

legal challenges, but jonathan miller of the oakland-based public rights project said this could be the beginning of a larger strategy. >> they're going to do whatever they can to get a case into federal court and try to get something that might effect the outcome of the election. >> federal courts are historically more hesitant to intervene without a clear federal issue at play. with the 2000 bush versus gore race and case being the exception where the supreme court halted a vote recount in florida. the big difference here between now and 20 years ago, it does not appear the outcome of this election is hanging on any one state with former vice president joe biden at least appearing at this moment to have several paths to 270 electoral votes. if he does capture pennsylvania as we've been reporting this morning, he will earn the necessary votes to clinch the presidency. reporting live this morning, julian glover, abc7 news. >> thank you.

bush versus gore was 20 years ago. wow. we've been updating election results on our website for all the races including the state and local ones. for the latest any time just go to abc7news.com/election. the u.s. set another covid-19 daily case record. more than 120,000 infections recorded on thursday. many states are also breaking records for the daily number of cases, that includes colorado, illinois, minnesota, pennsylvania, utah and wisconsin. a new study from the cdc shows that working in an office setting instead of remotely may double the risk of contracting covid-19. the agency says bosses should allow and encourage employees to work from home to help slow the spread of the virus. about 300 full-time nonessential workers took part in the study back in july. everyone involved took a covid-19 test. the cdc says that most of the people who tested positive reported commuting regularly to work. the next time you visit the doctor, dentist or take your pet to the vet, you may have to pay for covid-19 surcharges.

a palo alto dentist says a box of glove cost 20 bucks before the pandemic. that tripled to $60. the same dentist has not received a paycheck since june. >> i've been using my savings and credit cards because it's so expensive. we had to pour so much money into the dental office. they're doing what they have to do. i don't blame them. >> some dentists are no longer accepting a major insurer, delta dental, because it refuses to pay the increase costs of personal protective equipment. delta says it has a ppe reimbursement plan for dentists, but that billing patients for ppe is not contractually allowed. if you have questions about coronavirus we want to help you find answers. right now on our website you can get a list of local resources, that's abc7news.com. it's been a long week, we're still waiting to find out who will be president. still ahead, we're hearing from voters in the bay area. and let's take a live look at the big board at the new york

miles per hour. crosswinds on our roads, that's going to create danger there. also the biting breezes f you're waiting for mass transit, dress warmer today. it will be choppy out on the bay water. 45 miles per hour within the coast likely to see the scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and this evening. here's future radar, as we head through time, you can see it moving into the north bay at noon, still hanging around most of the bay during the evening hours as we go to bed. waking up tomorrow morning, a few lingering showers in the south bay. saturday and sunday are trending drier, still going to be breezy, still going to be chilly. our best chance of wet weather is likely this afternoon and evening. because it's scattered, some of us receive nothing. those of us that get under one of these could receive up to a quarter inch of rain. so the streets could be slick this evening for the commute. this morning it's the winds. tell us more about that. >> yes, mike. i will have a shaky camera for you in a second showing you those winds.
