drizzle at times and spotty showers up to our north as we head towards tomorrow morning. that is going to continue. so if you have early morning plans, be prepared for some damp roadways going into 10 a.m. you will notice those showers up around the northern part of our viewing area. as larry mentioned, it is certainly cooler by 11 degrees in napa, down eight in santa rosa, four degrees cooler in san jose. the breeze has picked up up in the hills. atlas peak 24 miles an hour. 20 on hood mountain. i'll be back to let you know exactly how long this unusual weather might last. a look at your weekend forecast. coming right up. kristen. larry. >> all right. thanks, sandra. see you with the seven day forecast. a warmer forecast. we hope in a few minutes. latest on covid now as cases surge, especially across the southwest with an 18% positivity rate across the country. here in california, that positivity rate ranges from 10 to 15%. >> but despite the busy summer surge, public health officials say winter may not be as bad as they first thought, especially with the new vaccine just

announced yesterday. >> however, as abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains, doctors say that's only if the proper steps are actually taken. >> as the weather begins to cool down, the cold and flu season will soon heat up. but when you compare it to last year, we can expect a similar or slightly improved in terms of peak hospitalizations that we saw last year. >> when you look at combined covid, flu and rsv together. but i do want to reiterate that there are, you know, a number of assumptions built into that, including whether or not people utilize the tools to mitigate infection and illness. >> cdc director doctor mandy cohen says testing, treatment and vaccines remain top priorities, especially when it comes to covid. >> it is changing faster than even the flu virus, so we need to continue to be vigilant. but yes, is it endemic? it is here with us. we need to protect ourselves and we have the tools to do it. we just need to use them. >> the government will once again provide for free covid tests per household, and the cdc

has allocated $62 million for state and local programs to provide vaccines for uninsured and underinsured adults, including for the newly fda approved updated covid vaccine aimed at targeting the dominant cp2 variant. >> all of these vaccines prevent the worst of these infections. that means fewer visits to the doctor, fewer hospitalizations, and more time to enjoy the fall and winter with family and loved ones. >> the cdc recommends everyone six months or older get the updated covid and flu shots. you can even get them at the same time. meanwhile, they say people 60 and older, infants and people who are 32 to 36 weeks pregnant should also get the rsv vaccine. the updated covid vaccine will be available soon, but ucsf infectious diseases expert doctor peter chin-hong suggests waiting until october will help you best avoid serious disease and infection. >> right after october comes a bunch of events this thanksgiving. there's the holidays, there's holiday parties, there's holiday travels. so if i wanted to kind of get the biggest bang for the

education buildings. we're keeping these youth out of juvenile hall and most importantly, out of the graveyards. >> chief mitchell calling out on oakland residents to do their part. >> there's no reason why we had four people shot in the city of oakland within a week. there's no reason why this young lady lost her life. and her mother is critically injured within a week. we have to do better as a city. oakland. we have to do better in oakland. >> anser hassan. abc seven news. >> a person expected to be a key witness in the 2023 murder case of cashapp founder, bob lee, will not be taking the stand. today, we learned that the government does not plan to call the sister of accused killer nima momeni as a witness. according to the charging documents, the sister sent a text message to lee, the night that he was murdered, stating that her brother had, quote, come way down hard on him when they were socializing together. it was considered a key piece of evidence during the preliminary hearing. since prosecutors alleged she may have been the reason for the dispute between

the two men. the defense says it's not sure why the sister will not be testifying. >> so we were under the assumption that the government was going to call her. i think that she's a necessary element for the people to explain certain things. doesn't look like they're going to do that. so we'll go ahead and consider whether or not we need to fill that void. >> today is his 40th birthday. his mother brought balloons and signs to court. the trial is expected to start next month. >> last year, there were nearly 2000 hate crimes reported in california, but only five of those went to trial. what makes it so hard to prosecute these crimes? the founder of stop aapi hate says one obstacle is police not always identifying hate crime incidents. often, when law enforcement lives in that city or area, they have a reluctance to see things as hate crimes because they don't want to believe that their city or their region is a hateful one. prosecutors say even when a crime appears to have been

motivated by hate, it's a high bar to prove why the aggressor committed a crime. the head of stop aapi hate says things like verbal abuse and discrimination are not acts that can be charged criminally. she advocates for a stronger civil laws for these types of hateful incidents. >> fire has destroyed the wooden grandstands of the historic baseball field from a league of their own, as well as other movies. that fire broke out late last night at jay littleton ballpark in ontario. that's in southern california. those grandstands had stood since 1937 because of the fire. still under investigation. no injuries reported. >> the stock market had big gains today, sparked by just four words. the time has come. they were uttered by federal reserve chair jerome powell. >> the time has come for policy to adjust the direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data. consensus seems to be emerging. >> powell was speaking at an economic summit in wyoming. this morning. that was his strongest indication yet that the fed is

>> the ford four

and gen zers to retire early. abc news reporter tim pulliam has a closer look at fire. >> fire or financial independence? retire early is a lifestyle movement that prioritizes extreme saving and

investing in order to retire earlier than traditional methods might allow. nerdwallet, investing specialist elizabeth iola says fire involves saving between 50 to 70% of your income. >> how people tend to get there, even if they don't have six figure incomes, is by drastically reducing their expenses. so that might mean eating out less. it might mean cutting down subscriptions and just living a very frugal lifestyle. >> for those interested in becoming fire followers, iola says, first, figure out what type of lifestyle you want to have in retirement. there are three popular approaches. lean fire maintaining a minimalist lifestyle in retirement. fat fire. living on a higher income during retirement and barista fire saving enough to retire. then working part time to supplement your income. next, determine your fire number the amount of money you need to save to retire early. >> so how fire disciples usually get to that number is through the rule of 25, and what you do here is you take your tentative annual expenses during

retirement, and you multiply that by at least 25. >> iola says the final step in saving and investing that money. my goal has been 45 retirement since i started. iman ali, ceo and founder of education company kind academy, has been a part of the fire movement since 2020, when i started really trying to keep my expenses extremely low, saving a ton of money, throwing a lot of it into stocks and investing. >> interesting. i don't know anybody unless they're super wealthy. that could save 50 to 70% of their income if i did that, you wouldn't be sitting there. >> i know i would be, i'd be, so i wouldn't be eating because i wouldn't have money for food. but especially in the bay area. >> i mean, with the cost of living so high, i mean, who really saves 50 to 70%? >> yeah, i don't know how that's possible. so gen zs and millennials, like i see a lot of people posting on social media. i feel like my generation loves

to travel, so i don't know how much they're actually saving. so i think it's really interesting that they're saying that. >> i mean, it's a good goal. i mean, to spend less, especially early on in your career and you know, invest it. and because it compounds you know. so all right, we'll see if they're successful okay. you guys the kind of the same theme the qualifier for being rich just went up a charles schwab wealth survey found that most americans consider a net worth of $2.5 million to be rich. that's up from 2.2 million last year. respondents believe you need at least $778,000 to be financially comfortable. that's down from $1 million last year. i mean, with inflation, too, i'd expect that number to go up, you know, a net worth, at which point you can feel comfortable. >> 778,000. like, who picked that number? that seems like an odd number. just i just call it a million and make it make it easier in a low cost of living state. so what's interesting is that if we were doing this show,

let's say in oklahoma city, whatever, we would look at these numbers totally differently than we do in the bay area just because of the cost of housing. luiz. >> absolutely, absolutely. i mean, i think just talking about the gen zs and millennials and now those numbers like what is happening here, it's like if you look around anybody who owns a house, then you're rich. you're considered rich here in the bay area. so i think those are very interesting numbers. >> absolutely. i agree with luz. but i mean, i also think, you know, it's important to keep it in perspective. agree with you as well, larry. i mean, it depends on where you live. i mean, here in the bay area, everything is much higher. and if you do own a home, which we all know, that some of these younger kids can't even afford to do that, you know, real estate is a wise investment here. yeah. >> for sure. if you can afford to get into real estate here. oklahoma state university is embracing the new money that's now available in college sports. they're adding qr codes to the helmets of oklahoma state football players. the codes will link to a donation page for the

school's name, image and likeness fund. the codes won't be visible from the stands, but fans watching on tv will be able to capture them on their phones. this is ingenious. if you're not familiar with name, image and likeness. it used to be that schools could not pay players. it would be a violation. they'd go on probation and now it's anybody could do anything. you can well, almost anything. you could take sponsorship money, endorsement money, all that stuff. so it's explain this to us, larry. >> it's like you get the qr code. yeah. and you just donate to the is it essentially a donation to the school's athletic program so that they can pay their players? >> that's what i would guess. i mean, another way to do it would be to pay the individual guy, if you like. he just caught a touchdown and you're like, oh, you know, i mean, i mean, either way, maybe it gives you the option, but one of the problems for the schools in this sort of thing is that the, the athletes like, if you're a donor, you got to decide, do i want to give to the school or do i want to give

to my favorite quarterback? yeah. and so now the schools are finding they're getting fewer contributions because endorsement companies, they're going directly to the kids. >> but also, if you think about it, a lot of these players do not get scholarships. so this is a way of them getting some money. a lot of them are also helping their families saving. so i think, hey, this is a good approach. >> yeah i just thought of something. can we have individual qr codes in. >> are you going to take donations and whose story did you like today? >> qr code there you go. >> christmas code is going to start at 35%, 40%, 50%. they're not going to be no. 10% for christmas. >> okay. are you a busy bragger? yeah. somebody's so busy you can't possibly take a lunch break with your coworkers or a vacation. a new study suggests that while the bragger may think it shows off how indispensable they are, how hardworking it actually may hurt their relationships with coworkers. researchers found that people see stress braggers as being colder and less competent. it's also contagious. those who listen to people talk about

being stressed are also more likely to burn out. oh, sandy, what do you think about that stress? i think it's interesting. >> i mean, i think i'm kristen, let me put it to you this way. i'm busy, but i'm not a bragger. i think it depends on where you are, what your upbringing was like. for myself, my parents were immigrants, and so working hard was something that was instilled very early on with my siblings and i. and so to this day, i still do it. that's just the way i operate. >> yeah, i'm really too stressed and too busy to even address this. >> hey, i'm busy, but i make time for things that matter to me the most, like vacation, like vacations. like spending time with my loved ones. so yes. but hey, it's good to be busy. it's >> yes. >> yes. we're going to work on the qr code for donate to kristen now or larry. i mean, you don't have it doesn't have to be kristen. >> that's fine. >> does
