oakland, i want to show you other on the left side of the screen as you're coming southbound with the headlights, you see also flashing yellow lights. there's one disabled vehicle on the southbound side and another northbound reported at hagg haggenberger earlier. we're looking at speed sensors for the oakland area on our system. green means you're at the speed limit or probably a little above. there's construction heading up towards 980, no slowing there. tonight there's spookfest, big concert at the coliseum. back to you guys. it wasn't the offensive slugfest we saw in game one but the giants still get the job done in game two. a very solid 2-0 victory placing san francisco just two victories away from a world title. >> madison bumgarner pitched seven shutout innings and handed it over to the bullpen to close things out. the team flies to detroit today. even up two games, the players

say they're taking detroit seriously. >> even though we're in a good position, we've still got to go in their place and do it at their park. so it's going to be interesting to see how they bounce back but i'm very confident in my team's ability. >> game three is tomorrow night at 5:00. ryan vogue elsong will pitch fo the giants. a lot of giants fans resting their voice after last night's ball game, on their feet all night long screaming for the g-men every inning, every pitch. finally in the seventh inning things get serious with the first run getting to home plate. some fans feel so good they're counting down to a ticker tape parade. >> giants in six. they'll come back and win it in front of the fans this year. >> it's all about the good vibrations and whatever you want to call that. i love it. other giants fans perfecting the dances so they're ready to get

down, whenever that final out is made. coming up at 5:00 we'll show you how some of the high-flying giants fan are celebrating at 30,000 feet up in the air. one inspirational story coming out of last night's game, the appearance of bryan stow. the 43-year-old was a special guest of the giants. you may recall he suffered serious head injuries when he was attacked back in 2011. he is still in rehab but was well enough to make it to the game with his family. the giants welcomed him with a brief message on the scoreboard. stow did not want any ceremony or special attention. we are following a developing story out of castro valley. alameda county sheriff's deputies making an arrest in the death of a woman and a fire set at her house. firefighters found her body after responding to a fire at her home on october 18th. investigators say somebody beat

her and then set her house on fire. they'll be holding a news conference later on today to announce who they have arrested. we will have all those details coming up in our 11:00 newscast this morning. it is 4: 34. new this morning san mateo sheriff's released the picture of a man they say kidnapped a student. prosecutors say he grabbed a 9-year-old girl inside a bathroom at parkside and dragged her down the street until she was able to eventually escape. he pleaded not guilty to charges and will be back in court next month. in the south bay a suspected serialist is in jail this morning. san jose police arresting ulysses rios. he's accused of raping one woman and attempting to rape another one. he offered a 20-year-old woman a ride in his car. that victim did manage to get his license plate number and got

away, helping police track him down. >> this is exactly what we don't want walking around our city. this person is dangerous and he would have struck again, absolutely. >> an investigator say rios did try to rape another woman but she did escape. 4:35. the plaza is all clear after a protest commemorating the occupy movement's one-year anniversary. last year several hundred people marched through oakland marking one year since occupiers were kicked off from in front of city hall. many of the marchers say the movement, which started as a protest to stand up for the middle class, may be fragmented, but overall they still say it's going strong. >> obviously it's not as strong as it was. we had 100,000 people with us on november 2nd of last year. we are trying to rebuild. >> police kept a close eye on the rally and march to make sure things did not get out of hand.

and oakland's police department getting some much-needed backup next week. governor jerry brown says the chp will be deploying officers to oakland and stockton early next week. they will be there to help increase patrols in high-crime areas and to conduct safety stops. san rafael police hope a surveillance video will help them catch a crook that ripped off two rolex watches at a jewelry store. surveillance cameras captured this in the store about 2:30 yesterday. he asked the store clerk to show him the watches valued at around $10,000. when he reached for his wallet, the store clerk turned away and the man ran away into a gold toyota camry. a woman was behind the wheel. a former senator is backing out talks. the city claims george mitchell's involvement

represents a conflict of interest because his law firm represents an insurance carrier for pg&e. the former senate majority leader was all set to lead negotiations between pg&e and the california public utilities commission. the issue is how much should pg&e pay in fines for that september 2010 blast which ultimately killed eight people. 4:37 right now. time to check the forecast with meteorologist rob mayeda. he is in for christina. >> we lucked out. we're going to see the nicest weather we've seen arriving today and for the weekend ahead. you'll need a nice coat outside. we're mostly in the mid-40s around the north bay and san jose 49 degrees. even san francisco a cool 54. 45 in oakland. that's pretty chilly to start out your morning. winds out of the north this afternoon are going to help clear out our skies, and our temperatures are going to climb up. we're going to get some upper 70s around parts of the bay area. storm track off to the north so no worries about seeing any rain for the next couple of days.

so hour by hour in terms of cloud cover, even the coast with those north winds should see mostly sunny skies and mostly pleasant temperatures by lunchtime, already nearing the 70s. gorgeous afternoon around the bay area. great visibility and how about 70s and 80s inland for the weekend. warming up saturday and sunday and then cooling down. it looks ghostly cloudy by halloween. >> looking other here, it's clear like rob said. we're looking at 101 with that stream of lights coming right around sfo so they're making that bend. now, this is sfo in san bruno from our san bruno mountain camera, but 101 moves smoothly here. from the peninsula, b.a.r.t. has minor delays heading toward pittsburg because of some maintenance equipment. south 101 shows a little slowing down toward palo alto and university where we do have construction but i haven't seen any problems on the roads other than the fact crews are there.

we'll get a look at the san mateo bridge. 92 smooth in both directions. there is no closure this weekend, the bridge will remain open. they got everything done last weekend. that's great to get everything done ahead of time. 4:39 right now. the countdown is on. 11 days till that presidential election is official. the candidates continue their whirlwind push. we'll have the latest from the campaign trail coming up. >> i'm sewing as i read this. >> we'll also find out if apple's lackluster earnings report is hurting the company's stock in a live report. for all your news, weather and traffic, find out if it's a sweater or a scarf just search nbcbayarea.

welcome back, everybody. we take you out east for a live look down in ft. lauderdale. that is the results there, it is rough down there. hurricane sandy ripping things up on that east coast. it's been rough going out there. they say it's slowed down a little bit but not going to be any easier coming up. we'll check things out on the east coast and hurricane sandy lost a little power but still causing a lot of action out on

the east coast that. deadly storm already passing over cuba killing a total of 11 people. ten others have died in other parts of the caribbean. this category 1 storm right now over the bahamas this morning and it's also bringing tropical storm conditions all along that florida coast, as we showed you, from ft. lauderdale. sandy at this point being told could cause major weather problems all weekend long up and down the east coast. >> i understand it's going to be a pretty big mess over there. we've got it so nice here. >> it is much nicer here. you think about what's happening on the east coast. we're almost to halloween. you don't typically see tropical systems this late in the system. we're going to show you the very latest. it's a category 1 hurricane. right now mainly impacting florida, but watch the path that this storm takes. it kind of curves around the carolinas and makes that left hook right towards new jersey. if it does that as a category 1 hurricane, you could be looking at a lot of storm surge damage all up and down the east coast

so this storm affecting florida now. boy the time it finishes off its lifetime, you could see the entire east coast affected so we'll have to watch this very closely, possibly making landfall somewhere in the nortast early monday morning. the bay area much more calm. a little chilly this morning. you'll need the jacket for the morning but by lunch time dress in layers. you'll be in t-shirts for most of the bay area this afternoon. not much wind outside right now. if you notice, the fog inland after some recent rain, sometimes some of that valley fog tries to drift into solano county and push out of the east bay valleys. not too bad this morning and you'll see mostly sunny skies heading into the afternoon. the weekend looks outstanding, 70s and 80s inland. even the coast will see some 70s. but for your halloween plans, you might want to keep an orange and black umbrella on standby for the next week. storm track off to the north, nice and comfortable today. you're looking at upper 70s inland, upper 60s in san francisco, san jose low to

mid-70s this afternoon. as we look at your forecast, the next three days look great. 70s and 80s inland, some 70s possible on the coast but the changes start to arrive as we get into tuesday and wednesday. stay tuned, that could change some but it looks like a pattern change due that will bring us some showers right around trick-or-treat time. 4:45. apple not living up to investor expectations, and that could affect the stock this morning. for more on that and a look at futures, how they're trading, we turn to bertha coombs live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning, bertha. >> reporter: good morning. you know, if you follow the stock market at all, you have to consider apple a sector unto itself because it's the biggest market cap, it has the biggest market valuation. it influences everything. the futures are lower this morning because apple continues to trend lower. the stock after hitting over $700 in september has just been down. amazon also disappointing yesterday afternoon, so tech is

really going to be a weight today. yesterday we did get a bit of a lift with some good economic data on unemployment, housing, durable goods and also positive earnings from proctor & gamble. this morning ahead of the opening bell we're going to be looking for a report on third quarter gdp to see how fast the economy grew over the summer. we're also going to get consumer sentiment mid-morning. overall the dow will start the day at 13,103 after gaining 26 points. the nasdaq gained 4 to 2986. but as i mentioned, apple is going to be the big weight on the day. the quarterly earnings missing wall street's forecast. they sold enough iphones, 27 million of the new iphone 5s, but ipad sales fell short of expectations. they came in at 16 million. the company's holiday forecast is also below what analysts are looking for. that may be partly due to the fact that these new products, including the ipad mini and the ipad 4, they're more complicated

to manufacture, the costs are higher and that's also eating into margins a bit so it's going to be a tough haul for apple shares. >> thanks for the preview, bertha. funeral services for the late senator george mcgovern will take place in south dakota later today. he served as a senator much of his political career. he was a 1972 democratic presidential candidate. he died last sunday at the age of 90. a viewing was held thursday followed by prayer services. vice president biden attended that service. turning now to decision 2012, a mere 11 days left before voters finally declare a winner. this morning president obama and governor romney both looking for voters with both candidates camped out in the battleground state of ohio. nbc's tracie potts has the latest on that race for the white house. >> reporter: president obama is back at the white house this morning after hitting eight states in two days, including something we've never seen

before. >> i'll need some i.d. >> oh, you're right. >> reporter: a president voting early. >> it means you don't have to figure out whether you need to take time off work, figure out how to pick up the kids and still cast your ballot. if something happens on election day. >> reporter: if there's any doubt which state could swing this election, the president wrapped his whirlwind tour in ohio. >> i've come to ohio today to ask you for your vote. >> reporter: governor romney spent all day in ohio. >> now that's an ohio welcome. thank you! >> reporter: and paul ryan launches a bus tour in ohio this weekend. >> the choice is yours on november the 6th. >> reporter: today governor romney is in iowa talking about the economy, after greeting a crowd of 12,000 at a concert last night in ohio. >> this campaign is growing, the momentum is building, we're taking back america and it's coming soon. >> reporter: new polls continue

to show a tight race. in colorado where the candidates are tied and in nevada where the president leads by just three points among likely voters. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. speaking of election, ever wonder how much your vote is costing president obama and governor mitt romney? according to data provided be the federal election commission, together they are spending more than $2.3 million every day this election season. so if you divide that number by the total number of voters in the last campaign, you'll find the obama campaign is spending about $5.33 per voter. now that makes it sound like a bargain, riot? the romney team spending $4.81. combined that's $10.14 on each american in the hope of getting that vote from you. >> couple of gallons of gas. that will keep coming down. 4:50 right now. coming up, they spent months

filming here in the bay area and this morning the movie about the world famous mavericks competition all set to hit the big screen. surf's up. details next. and look at this beautiful shot here. this is the incline, the taillights heading into the city. no problems on the bay bridge, but i'll show you what else we can see from this camera coming up.

welcome back, everybody, on a friday morning. this is from out east, a ft.

lauderdale, florida. hurricane sandy has slowed down losing a little steam but it's still a category 1 storm. you can see the waves and white caps snapping up there. hurricane sandy has already killed 21 people in the caribbean. look for some trouble all weekend long up and down the east coast. a kayaker in san diego county has found a message in a bottle that floated all the way from new zealand. the 77-year-old pulled not one but two bottles from oceanside harbor. inside messages written by two 10-year-old new zealand boys. one was intended to be a time capsule starting with the gre t greeting hello future. they tossed out into sea in may as part of a class project. >> boys in n-- i haven't heard

from them. >> we've got the 77-year-old out there in the kayak. she plans to write the students back and try to set them up with pen pals in oceanside and that will include her 9-year-old grandson. great story. it's 4:54. santa cruz getting ready for its closeup with the movie "chasing mavericks" opening in theaters across the country today. >> big wave surfing, it's a different ball game. it's about how you perform and everything goes wrong. >> the movie, which follows the life of santa cruz big wave surfer jay moriarty. you may recall the star of the movie, gerard butler, was pulled under the water during filming and had to be rushed to the hospital. >> yeah, a 30-foot wave came crashing down. he said he came up two or three times just fighting for his life. see if that movie is a good one.

what was that movie can keanu reeves? >> i am an fbi agent. this is point slow. this is university, the bridge over at west 80 is your commute direction looking very nice. you're at the limit all wait down to the bay bridge toll plaza. the maps will show you also we're looking at the east bay -- tri-valley actually. livermore, look at some slowing. as you're coming past first street and levivermore avenue, have reports of a tire in lanes. chp will head out there. again, we'll track that to see if this causes any additional delay. no problem from there, 680 down through sunol into the south bay. we see some yellow showing up for 880 right in the middle of your screen. the only issue going on is the road crew that is still going on and blocking two lanes of your northbound direction but cre crecrews aren't going to mess with averages so just be prepared.

a special tribute for a troop during last night's game, mick kimmel throwing out the first pitch. he lost both of his legs and an arm. it was during his second tour of duty in afghanistan this year. it was very nice to see. kimmel is actually involved in barry zito's charity strikeout for troops. >> we salute and honor corporal kimmel. that was great to see. it is 4:56 right now. coming up, we have team coverage of the giants run and quest for a world series title. all that and more on the way. and for all of news, weather, traffic updates, check us out on facebook. just search nbc bay area news.
