weather. here's meteorologist lisa argen all right, zach, good morning to you. >> hi, everyone. low clouds and fog have returned since the overnight hours at the coast and the fog has been quite dense. the national weather service has issued a dense fog advisory for another hour from the golden gate bridge. the peninsula. and there is a cold front on the way that will certainly continue our cooldown. what a gorgeous view from our exploratorium camera 58. downtown. it is 62 in oakland with 66 mountain view. look at that, 70 in san jose and the look from vollmer peak shows how that marine layer is compressed. high pressure still in control, but it is fading away. upper 50s santa rosa low 70 by the delta. we're still going to have some warm numbers inland, but look at the cooldown already 3 to 11 degrees cooler compared to this time yesterday. so the fog is quite dense. it's going to be with us throughout the day, but it is hanging along the coast. it'll be developing an awfully close to the bay as we get into the late afternoon. so hopefully not impacting the blue angels, but in the meantime, 70s and 80s around the

bay. upper 80s inland. we'll talk about the rain, the timing for monday and tuesday coming up. >> zach, we'll check in with you shortly. lisa now we want to turn to that developing news from israel. israel's security cabinet officially declaring that israel is at war. it comes as officials say the attacks near the gaza border have killed at least 600. israeli is at least 370 palestinians have been killed, according to authorities. thousands more on both sides are injured. the israeli government says at least 100 israeli citizens and soldiers are being held hostage by hamas fighters. at the same time, israeli strategic affairs minister has said america is are among the hostages being held. they have declined to estimate the number of americans, but that news just now coming in after they previously declined to say how many americans were being held hostage. now, israeli defense force officials say they will do anything to free and return hostages taken into gaza. they also say this is the most devastating attack to hit the state of israel since it was created 75 years ago. this all began with a surprise attack by

hamas militants. they fired thousands of rockets from gaza into israel saturday. they also sent gunmen into southern israeli cities. some even entered via paragliders. the attack is drawing worldwide condemnation. president joe biden reaffirming us support for israel yesterday from the white house and the united states stands with the people of israel in the face of these terrorist assaults. >> israel has the right to defend itself and its people. this is not a moment for any party hostile to israel to exploit these attacks, to seek advantage. the world is watching and white house officials say it's too early to know if iran had any involvement with the attacks in israel. >> the fbi and the department of homeland security have issued a public safety notification to law enforcement across the us, urging them to stay vigilant during the ongoing situation and back in the bay area, we're getting local response to the conflict as well as a better understanding of what's behind it. abc7 news reporter tara campbell spoke with a variety of experts on the conflict in the middle east. >> the sights and sounds of

chaos in the middle east. a palestinian attack and israeli response. i think this is one of the most significant moments of palestinian resistance that we have ever seen. george bisharat is an emeritus professor at uc san francisco and an expert on the middle east. >> certainly the most significant military act of resistance ever against israel by the palestinians. >> and he says the palestinian attack has likely been long in the making for hamas to be able to pull this off in a surprise way like this is an incredible feat right now. >> you know, whatever you make of it as a as a matter of a military operation, pretty incredible. >> as a jew and i know i speak for my jewish colleagues in the legislature, we are all both horrified and terrified about what's happening in israel state senator scott wiener is a member

of the california legislative jewish caucus. israel is not perfect by any stretch. i have my own very public criticisms. but what happened today crosses a red line. nothing justifies the terrorist attacks that we saw today. >> this is a horrific day. the violence that we're seeing today is disturbing to everyone who cares about peace and justice. edward ackman. >> mitchell leads the council on american-islamic relations until the occupation ends here, we're going to keep seeing this cycle of violence repeat itself for years. >> and years to come. >> and as for what comes next, the professor says it could go several ways. >> the fact of the number of hostages provides the palestine with a significant lever against the israeli state power and may cause a quicker end to this than and less violent end to this than we might otherwise see. >> or he says israel could respond as it has in the past. >> another scenario is that

israel will mass go ahead and do as it has done in the past. and possibly even worse. >> that's tara campbell reporting. now to afghanistan, where entire villages were razed by two powerful earthquakes in the northwestern part of the country. the taliban says 800 people have died. they say earlier reports that place the number of dead at 2000 was inaccurate. that that it included deaths and injuries. the two tremors both had a 6.3 magnitude. they hit in herat province along the border with iran. now, officials say people were trapped in the rubble of damaged buildings and there were at least seven aftershocks as officials in maui are urging the governor of hawaii to delay the reopening of the western side of the island to tourists. it's plan to reopen in phases starting today, of course, wildfires devastated the town of lahaina back in august. yesterday, maui county officials voted unanimously on a resolution to postpone the reopening, claiming residents need more time to heal and rebuild. the maui wildfires

claimed 97 lives and left more than 30 people missing, making the fires the deadliest in us history. saw another dazzling aerial display from the blue angels as the stars of fleet week soared over san francisco this weekend. today's the last day. you can check them out. and saturday was a perfect fog free day for flying. but of course, it was hot. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard has a look at how people kept cool while enjoying the spectacular show. >> all eyes in the sky. nobody on the marina green missing a second of the navy's blue angels. doing what they do best over san francisco bay. spectators know you've got to see it to believe it. the roar and rumble of the jets at speeds of 700mph. clayton earl from san francisco never misses the show. >> it doesn't get old. it just

gets loud for our old ears. >> oh, they're spectacular. they're i love them. the fleet week air show even impressing the likes of retired top gun navy commander jerry gallop. >> you know, as a former top gun guy, i try not to say anything great about the blue angels. you know, it was pretty it's a little bit of a rivalry between those two groups. but man, can they fly and los angeles azules . that's blue angels in spanish . >> earlier, the navy's leapfrogs parachute team started the show, followed by a flyover by the patriots jet team, which performed a missing woman formation to honor late senator dianne feinstein. it was a perfect fog free day for flying . the only downside it was hot. you better believe a lot of families came prepared for the heat with water, sunscreen, umbrellas, us and a lot of pop up tents, too. manny guerrero from sunnyvale had a cool idea. >> well, we brought a lot of

cool drinks. we brought our tent and we're just going to try to ration ourselves and not eat, i guess run or walk too much. >> others using fans to cool off. but there were few complain when this was the payoff. the blue angels rocketing over the bay in san francisco. cornell bernard, abc seven news. it was a hot day, but just a beautiful day with great visibility to see all of the great fleet week activities that have been going on all weekend. >> lisa yeah, and big changes today. >> zach we're nice and sunny right now, 58 degrees. san francisco, but that fog not going anywhere at the coast. we will be as much as 15 to 18 degrees cooler in san francisco, oakland, even about 5 to 7 degrees of cooling. inland and i'll have the full details. and we're tracking rain coming up. >> sounds good, lisa. also ahead, a wildfire forces the evacuation of a neighborhood in suisun city. one family talks about their close call. plus,

available for you right now. if someone's been injured in an accident that was not your fault. give us a call right now and find out how much your case is potentially worth. >> welcome back. a neighborhood in suisun city was evacuated on saturday as a wildfire threatened their homes.he cause is still unknown, but homene say the flame wylie lane came dangerously close to their homes. abc7 news reporter unser hassan has their story. >> late saturday evening, fire crews continued to monitor the aftermath of a wildfire that burned more than 30 acres in suisun city, threatening nearby homes and businesses. >> how close was the fire to your facility? >> i would have to say literally in our backyard. and it would have came in if the fence wasn't there. >> jasmine peete is the sales supervisor at pick and pull an auto dismantling shop which sells car parts. the damage along the entire back fence line shows how the fire was kept out. that likely prevented another problem, says peete. given the potentially toxic material at

the facility. >> we deal with a lot of chemical oils, fluids like gas, oil, oil, freon, sometimes we even deal with hazardous waste. >> we did have a response from cal fire and they did do an air drop for us, which helped contain the blaze as well. >> captain maddy scott with suisun fire protection district, was the first on scene. he says the fire broke out around 12 noon and quickly spread as the winds began to pick up speed. despite the wet winter, the grass is dry, which is always a concern for this time of year, says captain maddy, especially here in solano county. >> this is still fire season. yeah, october. even into november, we always get a warm spell for this time of year. in october. so this is can be expected in this part of the state. >> the fire also prompted an evacuation order for the nearby neighborhood. >> all of a sudden we just see a bunch of smoke blow into our backyard. >> got dark. there was ash just immediately blown into our faces and it was orange and super scary. >> the mussey family was evacuated for four hours. when

they got home, they found parts of their backyard damaged by the fire, burnt fence and plants. ashes everywhere. but no reports of injuries. and the family is just thankful to be safe. >> yeah, i'm so happy. we see so happy to see my all neighbors are good. they're all safe. >> the cause of the fire is still unknown in solano county. ansar hassan, abc seven news. >> and as the threat of wildfires increases, we're learning that what your house is made of and small changes to your property can have a big impact on how vulnerable you and your home are. abc's matt gutman has more on the latest fire safety research. >> we're at a one of a kind test facility where researchers study the science of wildfires, something i've spent much of my career covering for abc news in california. wow. the intensity of that is absolutely enormous. the heat is overwhelming. it's almost nothing they could do with that wind. >> this is a firestorm. we're going to the other side of the

car here at the insurance institute for business and home safety or ebay, is that powerful wind is simulated by this towering wall of more than 100 and dustrial strength fans blasting those red hot embers toward structures. >> and this helps scientists learn what kinds of building materials will burn and what can withstand the hot fury of mother nature. experts say it's those scorching embers, though tiny, that can turn small fires into town, destroying events. it was those wind driven embers in maui in august that experts say helped the historic and deadly inferno to spread so fast, killing at least 97 people and engulfing more than 2000 structures, most of them homes, but not this one featured in the honolulu civil beat virtually unscathed. some called it a miracle, but researchers at ibhs point to two factors that likely saved the structure. a commercial grade steel roof and river stones surrounding the home. the home owners telling

the civil beat they replaced their traditional landscaping with the stones not to protect their home from fire, but from water and termite damage. little did they know that one of the key tactics vhs teaches is creating a minimum of a five foot fire resistant buffer zone around your home using hardscapes and noncombustible fencing. >> think of it like your moat. you are keeping wild fire and embers away from your structure. >> this time lapse video shows a fire ignited along a fence between two structures. watch as the fire never reaches the home on the right because it can't pass through that metal fence. the wooden fence on the left, however, acts like a wick of a candle, bringing the fire directly to the house and now they've built a home just for us. you can see there are two distinct sides here. one has this wooden mulch outside. do you see a wooden deck or wooden siding? the other side is a wildfire prepared wood home.

these are fire resistant sidings. you can see the metal in the deck that fence, the part that actually touches the house that is also made out of metal and you can see this hardscaping all around it. so under the supervise of the richburg fire department, we fired up those ember generators and they allow me to step right in their path. and in just minutes, these embers are coming in fast and just now, this is the start of a fire right underneath this bush here, right next to the deck. this could be the thing that ignites this whole house here, this deck, the one made out of steel, nothing. >> and this deck right now is catching fire. that thing is going to blow up. >> this deck is now completely engulfed in flames. it's going to take this out in less than two minutes later. it did exactly that. all the while, the right side remained seemingly untouched. this house is virtually gone. you can hear you can feel the heat from those flames right now. it is

absolutely massive. and you can see how quickly that wooden side of this house was engulfed in flames. it's in the eaves right now, which also means it's going through those vents. those vents were covered in steel protective mesh, but they were the wrong size. the hole is so big they let the embers through. the rule of thumb here is that you don't want mesh that can have a nail or a golf tee go through it. you want it to be a bit finer than that. something that can block this stuff that way. the embers can't get through that mesh and into your home. right now, the firefighters are about to come in and douse this thing because it's gotten too hot. >> that was abc's matt gutman reporting. well, back here at home, a man and his dog are safe after being rescued yesterday from a cliff near fort funston. officers say the dog got loose and ended up about 100ft down the steep cliff. the san francisco fire department was called in and had to use ropes and harnesses to hoist them to

safety. last year, crews carried out around 100 rescues at fort funston alone. so definitely want to watch out for cliffs if you're out and about. also going to be on the lookout for some cooler temperatures. and we've had these last couple of days, which i think we're all kind of eagerly awaiting at this point. >> yes, back to the jackets, the down coats. i'm telling you much cooler today. and wait till you see monday and tuesday. not only the cool weather, but we're getting into some gray sky and not only monday. one cold front. there's a second one that will clip us as well. so i hope you enjoyed it. the warmth as we look at our satellite picture right now, this is a visible image. so you can see the fog footprint all up and down the california coastline. and then that other texture is a cold front to the north and west of us. and we will see some active weather in the pacific northwest and that means some raindrops accumulating on precip for us. monday and perhaps even into tuesday. here's a closer look and look at that fog, how it is just entering the gap there. so it is going to be there for the

fleet week show later on today. we will see sunny skies, though. it's going to be a nice day in san francisco. more typical than what we saw yesterday, but i don't know how much of that is going to clear it looks pretty touch and go there with the fog. really hugging the coast. here's a look from our roof camera where you can see the marine layer in the distance there, 59, san francisco, 62. in oakland, 66 in mountain view is 70. in san jose. and upper elevations are still very, very warm. but the surface, we've got the low clouds, the fog, and it will continue to develop throughout the day. there's a look at a compressed marine layer, sfo high pressure drifting away, allowing for a return to that dense fog. and then we're going to see mid-level, high level clouds and a cold front move in tomorrow. 59. santa rosa novato, 66 in napa, 73 by the delta. very mild still in our inland valleys. a beautiful day there. but look at the golden gate bridge. visibility was horrible this morning and still is all the way down the peninsula. so the dense fog advisory for

another hour, limited clearing here and then cooler today looking at temperatures still above average inland by about 5 to 8 degrees. but big time improvement from yesterday. instead of that 100 degrees around fairfield and you'll be at around 90, a chance of showers monday, even extending into tuesday. here's a look at that fog. so not only is it at the coast all day long continues to develop. it pushes inland overnight. tonight and then stopping this 1030 tomorrow or level one system. our exclusive abc seven storm impact scale showing you that this system is going to favor the north bay, the coastal hills, the west sloping hills there, allowing for a little bit of rain into your monday. and then we get a break. but look what happens on tuesday. another weak system wants to move through, keeping the temperatures down. the winds breezy and right on through 11:00 tuesday night. not a whole lot of rain, but enough to get the ground wet and say we got some rain in october. so as for the temperatures, look at that

60s to only 70 me with some showers for monday, tuesday, wednesday, we get behind the system. and then as for today, sunny skies 60s downtown. but that fog is lurking at the shoreline. highs today mid 70s across the bay, 85 in san jose. the accuweather seven day forecast level one system tomorrow. hottest day today. they finally near average thursday and friday. if we forgot what that was and i think we did but we'll be reminded soon and i'm grateful for that. >> yeah. lisa thank you. hey, let's stick with our climate theme. just ahead, how climate change could impact flood insurance here in the bay area. >> it's more than just pressing buttons. >> it's a seat press. >> your luck is changing lives. this is an accessible van. hi, mom. >> it's multiple sclerosis. i really want to win this. >> press your luck premieres tuesday on abc. my late father in law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. >> he had aimed. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to

has san francisco bay for a next door neighbor to a newly completed section of seawall sits just a few hundred feet away from her front door in foster city and the multi-million dollar upgrade means leann and her neighbors will not be required to purchase flood insurance, which can run hundreds of dollars or more. >> i am retired and of course that's a fixed income, right now. i would probably be all right tapping into savings, but no one wants to do that. >> but balancing the cost of flood protection and flood insurance can be an increasingly expensive challenge for communities around the bay area. climate change is predicted to drive increasing sea level rise and ultra wet storm cycles known as atmosphere rivers, leaving thousands of families woefully unprepared. an abc7 news data team analysis found more than 300,000 homes and businesses around the rim of san francisco bay have an 80% chance of flooding over the next 30 years and still nearly 90% of homeowners may not have flood

insurance. >> more people are going to need it. more people need it now. we know that, you know, last winter when california saw those deluges and a lot of people had losses and damage, there was a lot of i opening. wow. i didn't realize that i could flood amy bach directs the consumer nonprofit united policyholders. >> she says the numbers reflect a growing strain on the state's insurance system from natural disasters, including floods, wildfires and earthquakes. with the current patchwork of public and private coverage struggling to spread the risk. >> the way things are going, we are going to have to have some kind of a federal disaster insurance program, you know, and just like we created the affordable care act and we said these are the essential benefits that an insurer must provide and insure cannot reject somebody who has a preexisting condition . i think we're going to have to get there with property. >> last month, governor gavin newsom signed an executive order designed to stabilize the state's property insurance market, potentially allowing

insurers to factor the future risk from climate change into their rates. while the complicated market continues to shake itself out. leanne mcginley is grateful for a bit of breathing room from the new seawall, at least where flood insurance is concerned. >> i was originally for the project and even more so now i think the future is very important, not only for me and my family but for other generations. and this is important for that protection. >> and that was abc seven weather anchor spencer kristen reporting. you can also go to abc7 news.com to check your neighborhood flood risk in the decades moving forward. we'll also have links to interactive maps showing other climate threats as well, including wildfires. well, still to come on abc seven mornings, the latest on the tragedy and destruction in the middle east. how us officials are responding . step northern california renaissance fair. >> weekends at casa de fruta, september 16th through october

>> and good morning to you. i'm zach fuentes. we're starting this half hour with a look at the weather. here's meteorologist lisa argen good morning. >> you know, we saw some changes yesterday and then boom this morning dense fog at the coast. you can see the marine layer compressed here from our emeryville camera 60, san francisco 62 in oakland. it is 70. in san jose, half moon bay, 55 degrees. quarter mile visibility, dense fog advisory along the peninsula and the finger of fog is getting a little bit more pronounced here in the city. so it is around and it wants to flow through the gaps here. 60 santa rosa, 66 in napa, 73 by the delta. so we are certainly much cooler downtown. not a whole lot of change inland, but we will be cooler there. and this is where the fog has been at its worst from pacifica to half moon bay into santa cruz. so the fog pulls back. we're sunny, we're cooler all around the bay. upper 80s to near 90 inland. but boy, that fog comes back late in the afternoon. zach. >> lisa thank you. turning to developing news from the middle

east that we've been following this morning, israel's security cabinet officially declaring israel is at war. we're learning israeli strategic affairs minister has said americans are being held hostage by hamas fighters. the minister declined to estimate exactly how many americans specifically could be held. israeli defense forces officials say this is the most devastating attack to hit the state of israel since it was created 75 years ago. the fighting between israel and hamas continued overnight with more rocket fire exchange and we've seen an all hands response from washington. abc news reporter liz landers is in dc with the latest. liz, good morning, zach. >> as you mentioned, israeli authorities are now confirming that there are more than 100 civilians and soldiers that are being held hostage currently by hamas. fighting continues between hamas and israeli military forces following air land and sea

attack by hamas during the pre-dawn hours of saturday, which has claimed hundreds of lives and thousands of injuries on both sides. it's the first time in 50 years israel has been surprised by attack. hamas says that their deadly actions are due to the israeli government's policy occupation portion of palestinian land, along with other grievances, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu responding to hamas, saying that, quote, israel will settle the score in washington. congressional leaders and president biden both condemned the attack. mr. biden spoke by phone saturday with netanyahu and addressed the nation, offering full us support. it. >> israel has the right to defend itself and its people full stop. >> us secretary of state antony blinken has been working the phones with his counterparts in the middle east and elsewhere to try and de-escalate the situation. meanwhile, the fbi and the department of homeland security, while not having specific intelligence indicating

a threat to the us, have issued a public safety notification to law enforcement nationally, urging them to remain vigilant. and an emergency meeting of the united nations security council is being held today in new york city. this comes as diplomats worldwide are concerned that the conflict between israel and gaza right now could spill over into other parts of that region. zach. >> liz, we've had you with us all morning tracking this, developing story. we appreciate your reporting and the impact of the attack was felt immediate and globally. the los angeles police department increased patrols in beverly hills. and so far, there's been no word of stepped up security here in san francisco. americans are scrambling, though, to come home as flights are being canceled at israel's ben-gurion airport. some spent hours at check in hoping to take off. and here in san francisco, united airlines flight 954 was due to leave for tel aviv at 805 last night. it was canceled then and then is also been canceled for tonight.

all right. so the jobs report, the september jobs report soared to numbers. analysts didn't expect. the labor department says the economy created 336,000 new jobs in september, and that's the largest monthly gain since january. it's evidence that companies remain confident enough to keep hiring despite high interest rates. >> job growth is a good thing. it means there are more opportunities for people. people to make a good living wage, find a pathway to the middle class, afford a home, sharing their part of the american dream. >> unemployment still holds steady at 3.8. federal officials say the report could be a sign that the federal reserve could keep hiking interest rates to keep inflation in check. but listen to this restaurant employment hit a major milestone in september, finally inching past pre-pandemic levels for the first time, the bureau of labor statistics reports that restaurants bars and other food service outlets added 60,000 jobs last month, and that puts restaurant jobs at roughly 30,000 above the february 2020

number, when bars and restaurants closed their doors in march of that year, many employees lost their jobs as an anonymous networking site called blind pulled tech workers and asked more than 13,000 of them what they think of their company ceos. so next store, airtable and zoom's top bosses are getting single digit approval ratings and the site formerly known as twitter ex, is ceo. yeah, he got just 4. salesforce google, linkedin, pinterest, roku and paypal, all landing scores between 20% and 30. meta's mark zuckerberg got 45. and tim cook of cupertino based apple earned an 83% rating. well a bill that would have decriminalized psychedelics such as magic mushrooms was vetoed by the governor yesterday. last month, the california state assembly voted to allow the possession and use of small amounts of psychedelics for those 21 and older. yes today, governor newsom acts the measure , claiming the bill would have decriminalized possession before therapeutic protections could be put in place. the governor,

it really did have to do with demand. a lot more people were applying for their passports this year and traveling that caused the system to bog down. >> i heard from a record number of travelers over the past couple of years needing help. travelers like the east bay's david yandell. he and his wife each paid an extra $60 for expedited service. we didn't want to miss this occasion. it was very important to us and to our family, and it worked fine for rosie. but it didn't work at all for me. now, the state department is getting on top of the workload and getting a passport is happening much more quickly. >> as of october 2nd, we were able to reduce our passport processing times by two weeks. so now for routine service, you could expect it to take 8 to 11 weeks and for expedited service , you could expect that to take 5 to 7 weeks. >> so that is time enough for many to get a passport in time for holiday travel. if they get moving. and by january, processing times should be at pre-pandemic levels.

>> by the end of the year, we can get back to times like we had in 2019, which was 6 to 8 weeks for routine and 2 to 3 weeks for expedited service. >> and that was seven on your side's michael finney reporting. if your application seems stuck in limbo, you can go to the state department's online passport tracker and look up the status we've posted. contact information on our website, abc seven news.com. well disney is celebrating its new animated film wish with a chance for you to enter to win a trip for four to walt disney world and a disney cruise to the bahamas for every entry into disney's wish together sweepstakes, disney will donate $5 to make a wish up to $1 million. our parent company, disney and make a wish have been partnering to make life changing wishes come true for children with critical illnesses. for more than 40 years. you can find out more and enter at disney.com/wish together wish opens in theaters november 22nd. lisa >> all righty. we are trimming back at least ten degrees, maybe 12, from our inland valleys

your morning sports. >> good morning. >> we got our first look at chris paul in game action but before the game he hit this trick shot from behind the baseline. now a warriors assistant bet him he'd miss big mistake he had to pay with pushups and cp3 made him pay up right away. >> cp three and the warriors hosting the lakers and the preseason opener paul's first shot as a warrior. it's got to be mid range right? the 11 foot jumper coming up here and he drains it. paul finished with six points, then after kevon looney gets the rebound, of course, paul looking up the floor, finds steph who else and splash. he drains his first three of the pre season right there a little later they're going to hook up again and i think i'm going to like this good tandem paul with five assists in just 13 minutes of play fun iest moment of the game the warriors swinging it around jonathan kuminga finds the open man it's steph but he's not in the game. he's standing on the sideline oops you got to get curry the ball at all costs. six

maybe when he's on the bench. big laughs all around and at the timeout curry says good eyes but that's my bad the warriors win their preseason opener 125 108 warriors head coach steve kerr on cp threes performance there's a pace to the game that that is fun to watch as a coach where you just kind of know how he's going to just be making the right play over and over and he understands, you know, when, when we need to pull it back and get into an action or, you know, play faster because he understands the rhythm of the game. >> so chris is amazing. it's really fun to have him on our side. finally san jose, state of boise state and the elvire in the building. >> i bet you they have blue suede shoes on the broncos. turn it over twice in the first quarter, san jose state took advantage tough running by chevan cordeiro. get off me he will not be denied 11 yards for the score it's going to be 14 nothing spartans after yet another boise state turnover kwali connelly caps an 84 yard

drive from six yards out. it was 27 to 7. spartans at one point, but boise state scored 28 unanswered points. taylin green gave them the lead with the 11 yard touchdown run. final minute. san jose state down eight. still had a chance. fourth down cordero looking scrambling. he gets tripped up and the spartans fall to one and five. after they lose 3527 they've had double digit leads in the second half in both of their last two games, and they lost at cal hosting number 15, oregon state, the bears staying in this one into the second half and is very first start at quarterback fernando mendoza threw two touchdowns including this 30 yarder to jack andres cal down just three after making the two point conversion but the beavs break it open after that throwing a touchdown pass to defensive lineman isaac hodgins to make it 4932. the bears trying to stay in it, but mendoza is picked off by dermod mccoy and the beavs break out the turnover chain saw bears

lose 52 to 40. they're three and three on the season. have a great sunday, everybody. i'm casey pratt. >> it's been a great sunday. so far. let's now get a check of the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. >> all right zach good morning to you. we have the fog all the way up and down the coast moving through the gaps and also a cold front that is going to move in earlier tomorrow. so as we look at live doppler seven, notice a solid deck of stratus. there we go in closer and look at that flowing right through the golden gate there. so i don't think it's going to get any less throughout the day. we'll have mostly sunny skies, but this may be a concern for the blue angels later on today. right now, in santa cruz, it is 59 degrees in the 70s. later on today, it was in the 90s yesterday, 60 san francisco, 62. in oakland, upper 60s, mountain view, san jose, nice and mild at 7067. palo alto lots of fog half moon bay 55 and from our roof camera you can see a little bit of haze there 60

santa rosa there is fog along the sonoma county coast, 63 novato 66 in napa. you're down to the upper 40s. earlier 73 by the delta mid 60s, a nice and mild in our inland valleys and the deck of low clouds here scattering out but it is solid right along the shoreline so that dense fog advisory for the peninsula for another hour cooler today. still on the warmer side inland, but we're not seeing those upper 90s or 100 degrees more like about 90 and our warmest interior valleys. and then we're going to see a chance to showers not only monday, but a secondary system on tuesday. so there's a look at the sunny day today. then the fog moves back by three, 4:00 in the afternoon and then spreading across the bay overnight mid level clouds, high level clouds today, later on. and then we're going to see this cold front as it pushes on through throughout the morning hours, pausing this at about 1030. so we've got rain from sonoma into napa. and then by the afternoon, it kind of falls apart. so we'll get into

partly cloudy skies. but here's your tuesday morning and then another system slipping to the south throughout the day late on tuesday. so adding the rainfall totals monday and tuesday day, a couple of weeks, systems wetting the pavement. the west sloping, the west facing slopes will pick up anywhere from about 5/100 to over two 2/10. otherwise as you can see, not a whole lot out there. 5/100 maybe for hayward. but getting the ground wet, increasing the relative humidity , the wind direction now and onshore component livermore today in the upper 80s we should be in the low 80s. so still above average. look at the drop monday, tuesday, a little bit of a recovery on wednesday and boy, this is a tough call today. partly cloudy skies to mostly sunny conditions. but that fog is going to be at the coast. highs in the 60, mid 60s. that's a good 20 degrees cooler than yesterday. highs today from the mid 70s in oakland to upper 80s in concord. 83in napa, san jose

, 85. that's better than that. 95. the accuweather seven day forecast. so many people like the warm fall that we get this time of year. but after today really a dose of reality where we get back to a cold front below average. and then as we get into the later part of the week it will warm up a little bit. but we've kind of been spoiled this been nice, but really hot. >> yes, really hot. but the evening was so nice last night here in the city. i loved it. yeah, it was really i got spoiled with that. i will miss that. i know. but hey, man, come back. so. >> yeah, that's true. stay tuned. >> yeah, we'll follow your updates. lisa, thanks. and a reminder, you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku, you name it. download the app now, start streaming. and we'll be right back. >> halloween season is here and disney is celebrating with a month of scary good fun. run, run, run! goosebumps. a new series inspired by the bestselling books comes to disney plus, hulu and freeform

powerball drawing, which means the new jackpot is now over $1.5 billion. the numbers were 47, 54, 57, 60, 65, and the powerball number was 19. there was one winner in san francisco that matched five numbers. the ticket was purchased at a town and country market and worth an estimated 1.3 million. but the drawing for the major jackpot, that's 1.5 billion. that's on monday. all right. we got some animal stories for you. take a look at this drone footage showing a massive sheep crossing in washington state. it's been sped up so you can see the rare event as herders coordinate the move. the city of ottawa posted the video on its website. it was recorded on thursday as the animals moved over a highway in the central part of the state. that is just so incredible. all and sacramento firefighters there rescued a kitten from underneath a car. the poor thing, the car drove to the station for help. once the firefighters caught the kitten, it ran back into the car and had to be rescued a second time. but don't worry, the story has a

happy ending. that kitten was finally caught and now has a new home. i love it. well it's a scary time of year now that it's spooky season and one pup is hiding his tail between his legs. see why this is three year old golden retriever monty, who got spooked by life sized halloween decorations in the east bay. the video from monty and mindy on instagram shows how frightened he was to approach a walkway, but quickly hightailed it out of there when he saw the life sized a grim reaper. you can't blame him. all right. let's get a final check of the weather with lisa argen, poor guy. i know they are scary for him. >> all right. we are going to have a fog at the coast. a concern for the blue angels today for sure, with highs only in the 60s. so it will feel cooler, sunny around the city. but right at the coast, that fog wants to creep in three, 4:00, level one system on monday for some scattered showers in the north bay. the peninsula, the coast and a few lingering showers tuesday below average throughout the middle of the week. and then warmer, very pleasant end of the week. all right.
