out shells all that's left around an overnight fire in the east bay. >> and why the entire nation is watching the price of soda in the bay area. >> meanwhile, fantastic conditions as you get out there to vote, feeling like fall today, temps are going to spike as we head through tomorrow and then we'll stay dry before the rain returns. i've got your full forecast coming up in just moments and you won't want to miss it. >> you can't miss this. the sea of headlights traveling through the tri-valley, a crash in the tri-city. >> and a little bit cool this morning but temps expected to heat up. we'll be checking in with christina. this is tuesday, november the 4th. you are watching "today in the bay." and a very good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us.

i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. new this morning firefighter himself to work quickly to put out flames at a construction site in pleasanton just off 680. crews were able to knock it down in minutes. thankfully nobody was hurt. several homes were being built at the construction site. two of them were completely destroyed. firefighters are looking for a cause. >> polls across the bay open in about an hour, 7:00 a.m. sharp. >> yes, and we'll be there. we have team coverage of decision 2014. we have a closer look at the south bay races. >> we go to nanette miranda. she joins us live where the price of soda is the issue. >> reporter: good morning. no other soda tax has passed anywhere in the country. supporters hope that itf just oe of them passes, it will breathe

new life into the national movement. they want people to start considering sugary drinks, much like alcohol and tobacco, that it has to be regulated and taxed to change behavior and combat the obesity problem. it's a 1 cent to 2 cent tax per ounce. the beverage industry has poured $11 million in efforts to beat this measure, the majority spent in san francisco. the industry pitches the government shouldn't be able to tell you what to eat and drink and the tax hurts low-income families the hardest. >> here's a sample of what berkeley voters are thinking. >> i think it's harsh. >> i think it's worth a penny so they don't end up like me, with type two diabetes. >> the push was on in berkeley

to pass measure d with volunteers calling voters and urging them to mark yes on their ballots. it's easier to pass in berkeley because only a majority vote is needed. here in san francisco it's a much tougher threshold. a two-thirds vote is needed here to pass prop e, the tax on soda. nanette miranda, "today in the bay." >> and we're talking about seven term congressman mike honda and ro khanna. >> bob, surprisingly recent polls show khanna could be in the driver's seat. >> that's incredible when you consider that just months ago in a june primary, congressman mike honda had a 20-point lead over khanna. both men are democrats.

honda, who is 71 years old, has represented the 17th district since 2000 covering north santa clara and southern alameda counties. khanna's team has countered criticizing honda for having sponsored only one bill during his 14 years on capitol hill, a bill to name a post office. khanna says he's done more, securing billions for bart in san jose. now, speaking of chuck reed, his job is up for grabs, two men vying for the san jose mayor's race this morning.

dave cortese and same liccardo. we'll have that story on that race coming up within the next 45 minutes. reporting live here in downtown san jose proposition 46 looks to hold doctors and physicians more accountable through drug screening and higher malpractice rates. we will have much more election coverage all morning long. any time we're not on the air,

just click on key sis 2014 tab at the top of your page. there you can find information on the candidates, as well as ballot measures. we'll also have election results as they come into our newsroom. >> time to check our forecast as we give you a live look outside. there's incentive to get outside, look at that landscape. >> no excuses, get out to vote. it's going to be beautiful out there. gong to you, sam, lawyer rarks everybody at home. a couple things i want to make sure you're aware of as we dive into your forecast this morning. it's chilly out there. widespread 40s across the board. we're talking about a couple of cities slated to fall into the upper 30s beforele morning is done. that will be in the north bay or the tri-valley. today's a big day. we have an election and really, really comfortable temperatures to accommodate your outdoor plans, even if it's just getting

out to the polls today. mild and breezy conditions, just beautiful. we'll see that iconic old glory, american flag glowing in the breeze. staying rather light to the tune of about 10 to 15 miles per hour at the strongest point of the day. that will occur between about 2:00 and 3:00, 73 degrees, comfortable conditions in the south bay. you'll hit the 70s on the east shore and in san francisco. meanwhile, mid 70s coming your way in the north bay. this is one of my favorite times of year across the bay area, probably yours as well. we're hitting that peak foliage period and we get some really, really pretty sights out of this. you'll hit that peak in scotts valley fulton and we're near peak at highway 17 at the summit. that looks good. maybe you plan on heading over

to tahoe for this weekend, also getting gorgeous fall color here and swjust spectacular on the american right now. saturday and sunday is still going to be beautiful. your near peak, placerville and el dorado. i want to welcome in a good friend of mine, especially on a traffic tuesday coming in clutch this morning. good morning, mike. >> and the clutch or automatic, you'll have a slower drive, not on this specific shot, this is berkeley and university avenue. our speed sensors tell the story. as you're coming from the top of the screen, approaching central avenue, the backup from the earlier crash at university, we have a second crash causing more backup, right at golden gate

field at the merge. you have your metering lights on and the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. let's move over to the tri-valley. nothing unusual, you have your build for 580, south through pleasanton and highway 84, there's a crash there around niles affecting 84 itself but the roadway is still open. we'll go from the tri-valley to what we call the tri-city area. there as a crash south 880 at stephenson that has moved to the shoulder without much of a disturban disturbance. the route through the south bay just starting to slow down, 101. no big surprises there. predictable pattern. the curve as torba linda, a

little glow to the light, may be a little fog close to highway 101. typical. seasoned it back to you. >> thank you, mike. new ramp meters will be on this morning along highway 101. the meters will be activated along northbound 101 between highway 92 and candlestick point. the lights will be on a solid green for drivers to get used to it and they'll cycle to red and green in the afternoon commute and then the morning commute the week after that. >> time right now 6:10. not the treat within bay area child was expecting. a disturbing discovery inside a trick-or-treater's halloween back. >> and oil prices fall again. what it means in the world of politics coming up in business.

>> are you feeling lucky this

morning, do ya, clint eastwood style? right now the jackpot sits at $321 million. >> voters will decide on several close races on this election day. polls open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. california's 17th congressional district and mayoral races in san jose and in oakland. >> a lot to keep track of this morning. what you like both in real life and on facebook is a pretty good predictor of how you will vote. >> if you like jazz, you're more likely to be a democrat. social scientists have been able to better quantify this, sam, thanks to those likes on facebook. they're able to examine who clicks like on a campaign to see what else they like. last month a social scientist mapped it out. a lot of facebook users visit

the kennedy space center in florida but generally more democrats than republicans, not surprisingly democrats seem to dislike george w. bush's childhood home. that tends to move this way. and more data for you. when we have a republican congress and democrat as president, which it looks as if maybe we will, that tends to be better for the economy and the markets, though bill clinton does actually skew those results. he was president during one of the biggest economic booms in history. no politician talking about oil prices this morning. they're incredibly low. a barrel of oil now at a four-year low. and that's great news if you're filling up. but the "economist" magazine points outs it starts to become an issue for world politics. the boom in shale oil could cause unemployment. brazil has offshore reserves it wants to develop. those are going to be expensive, nobody wants to do that with

cheap oil. venezuela has debt coming due. it pays off its debt using oil. russia already hurt by sanctions, depends on selling energy, mostly natural gas. that could cause them more to get out of ukraine. what you pay at the pump has an effect all over the world good and bad. >> not just your tank that you're filling up. >> we still love it. >> you're right. >> it's been a great benefit here. thank you very much, scott. >> parents in one bay area neighborhood, they want to know who passed out drugs on halloween. >> a baggy was found inside a trick-or-treater's candy bag. kris, so far we only know of one child who got those drugs but it's certainly an incentive for parents to take out those bags and looking through them carefully. >> oh, sure. i think a lot of parents will be taking out the candy bags and emptying them out on the table

and looking through them once again. hercules police say a child's father found the drugs as he was checking his child's hall reaow candy on friday night. that tiny bag of white powder tested positive for methamphetamine, a tenth of an hou ounce, by the way is, enough to be charged with a felony. >> he was checking the candy and he found the baggy and suspected it to be illegal drugs and wanted to report that he had found that. >> reporter: so far that is the only report that police have gotten regarding the finding in that promenade neighborhood of hercules. but for a lot of folks there, one baggy of drugs is enough. one young woman told us when she suspects when her mom hearse about all of this, all of her siblings' candy is going

straight in the trash. police say if they can track down who this belongs to, they can figure out whether or not it was done on purpose. police are urging parents to go through the candy one more time and report anything that could be drugs. >> that's a good reminder to always look through. thanks a lot, kris. >> 6:18 right now. this as we give you a live look outside of san francisco. wait a minute, where did san francisco go? it was clear two seconds ago. >> christina can explain for us. she joins us with a little at the microclimate forecast. >> good morning to you, my friends. thanks for waking up with us before i get to the science. i wanted to tell you it's going to be chilly out there. throw on an extra blanket because we have not yet hit the coldest point of the day and we will as we get into the next half hour to 45 minutes. so temperatures out there right now kind of chilly as you're getting the kids ready for school today, you want to dress them for the two different parts

of the day. because this afternoon it will be warm enough to shed that jacket and we're going to have a lot of sunshine in the bay area. just a beautiful day coming your way. right now mostly in the 40s and 50s across the board. let me tell you what's happening. we have moisture coming in to this area of low pressure, which is just to our north. high pressure still in control. you can see the clouds arcing up and around the ridge of high pressure. it comes in and compresses everything. all that moisture is forced to the surface of the bay area. as a result you lose visibility just like that. we have a big ridge of high pressure right on top of us. that is compressing all of that moisture. some really cool science to go over with you this morning. so temperatures for today are going to be about 3 to 5 degrees warmer than where we ended up yesterday and we will peak as we head throughout tomorrow, jumping by an additional 5 to 10

degrees. today, though, looks spectacular. 73 degrees for the south bay, 72 degrees on the peninsula, 70 for the east shore and san francisco is at 70 degrees as well. here's the day for tomorrow. big jump, feeling like summertime. that's an august high for average. tomorrow a rare treat and then we'll take your temperatures right back down as we get into the weekend. but really no swings in terms of temperatures all across the board. and things really start to change as we get into tuesday of next week and our next storm system moves in. we'll talk more about that coming up. mike inouye, how is that drive? >> it's a little unusual. the bay bridge toll plaza we expect to see the backup but traffic in the fast track lane is moving a little smoother. a lighter flow here. let's show you what goes on. the map, we'll show you the east

flow freeway. the crash for the east shore freeway is the issue at central avenue. westbound causing this big backup, starting in hercules, really cranking down here in richmond and slow all around the golden gate bridge area, causing a backup for the upper east shore. now we're looking offer toward the tri-valley, nothing really unusual. wanted to show you the build for south 680. we do have a crash affecting that flow right around palo mares and both directions making that cut through. over here the castro valley y and southbound 880 through hayward. the rest of your drive looking pretty well, no real backups. the south bay, we just have your build starting with 87, 101 and 105 showing some slowing. northbound no problems past the

truck scales and the golden gate bridge, we've seen clouds holding around the area. i was going to say fog floating around but it's not really fog, just clouds right now. and traffic moving nicely across the north bay and san rafael area. >> thank you, mike. >> a plea deal could get nfl quarterback adrian peterson back on the field. >> and the fight against ebola, a new vaccine in the works right now. >> and the sun coming up over the bay area, making way for a nice tuesday morning. a lot more news, traffic and weather ahead. 6:22 right now.

researchers say they hope the drug companies or federal government can help with the vaccine. >> a tape measure fell 50 stories, ricochetted and hit the man in the head. the man was not wearing a hard hat at the time but did have one in his truck. >> an nfl player expected back in court this morning. adrian peterson was indicted in september after authorities say he hit his 4-year-old son with a tree switch. there may be a plea deal today. >> it is 6:26 right now. coming up on 6:30, opening bell just a few moments away. we're going to be checking in with scott mcgrew right after this break. >> plus capitol hill up for grabs. how your vote could shift the

balance of power in washington. >> no balance of power being shifted out at at&t today. that's because the giants are already world champions three times in five years. i think we've mentioned that a couple of times. nice start, a bit of a cool start to your day today. we'll check in with christina and mike for your traffic updates coming up momentarily. we'll be right back.

voters already hitting the ballot box. >> and chamber of commerce weather, feeling like fall by tomorrow. temperatures spike. and a nice weekend before rain returns to the forecast. much to go over in just moments. >> and the bay bridge toll plaza looks bad and it's going to get worse. a new crash shaping up in union city. i'll tell you why you care about this one and how that might

affect those heading to school. >> wall street continues to be shocked by oil prices and they're watching the election carefully no doubt as well on the new york stock exchange this morning. we'll take a look at business news coming up. >> taking a live look outside, bay bridge toll plaza. i'd like to say it's beautiful. maybe not so much the morning commute. >> not a beautiful experience. >> it is tuesday, november 4th. this is "today in the bay." >> from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." >> and a very good tuesday morning to you. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. turning now to decision 2014, the balance of power on capitol hill is in the hands of the people. polls here in the bay area open in just about 30 minutes but voting already under way across much of the country.

"today in the bay"'s tracie potts joins us from washington, d.c. >> republicans think they have momentum going into this. the key question is do they have enough momentum to take control of the senate? polls are now open around the country. 36 senate seats may be decided today, eight are too close to call. >> a vast majority are taking place in states the president did not win in the last presidential election. >> reporter: republicans need six seats to win control of the senate. but how soon will we know? georgia and louisiana could end up in runoffs. plus one in four voted early. thousands of mail-in ballots may not even arrive before election day. >> we're probably going to be waiting a while before we learn who will be the majority in the senate. >> 36 states elect governors

today and all 435 house seats are up for grabs. the justice department is sending poll watchers to more than two dozen districts. >> we will be very mindful of any anomalies that are reported. >> reporter: latino voters could be key in races with razor thin margins. >> both parties are not reaching out meaningfully to this community. they're leaving those votes on the table. >> polls show a republican advantage. >> everything seems to be pointing the republican direction but there's always a possibility that democrats could pull off an upset or two that complicates the republican math. >> and everything also points to low turnout, especially compared to the last two mid terms. laura? >> exactly. thank you, tracie, live from washington. we also want to know, our investigative unit will be out in force keeping an eye out for any official issues at the

polls. if you run into any problems, give us a call. 888-996-tips. or send us an e-mail to theunits@nbcbayarea.com. >> guadalupe will cast her ballot for the very first time today. she's 102 years old but just became a u.s. citizen last year so this is her very first opportunity to vote. she says she's voting because she hopes to see immigration reform in her lifetime. >> i love the fact that she did that, not on became a u.s. citizen but also getting out there and voting. >> she looks great for 102. will she need some sort of a coat when she heads out to those polls? that's the question. >> depends on how early she gets out there, sam and laura. good morning to you. it is chilly out there. polls open up at 7:00 a.m., so

we're getting closer and closer to the first votes coming in for this morning. i know a lot of people already voted absentee style. what's interesting is a lot of your "today in the bay" friends, me, scott mcgrew, sam, and mike inouye, we're going to go out there and vote in person. maybe it's near and dear to your heart as well, it's a privilege. good morning to you, livermore, 34 degree, a great day to get out there and rock the vote. tonight those election results are slowly going to trickle in. we'll have everything for you right here on nbc bay area. if you can't get to your tv, we'll have it for you online as well. temperatures for today are going to be comfortable for getting out there and rocking the vote. south bay is at 75, 73 for the peninsula, east bay, tri-valley looking good for the mid 70s. once the sun drops off we get

dark around here at 5:30. you want to make sure you have that jacket handy. tomorrow we're going to warm you up and then we have some rain in the forecast. we'll talk about that in just a few moments. right now we want to welcome in mike inouye. >> we'll take you to the bay bridge toll plaza, which looks bad enough if you're not familiar with this. it looks like a standard backup. this actually is a little buiit lighter. what's going on is there was an earlier crash up here at central and that backed up folks all the way from hercules, right around golden gate field, as that crash cleared from the roadway, we have all distractions cleared from the roadway, expect a bigger volume over there and also slower drive down and just basically off of highway four all the way down the east shore freeway. we have a slower drive down to

the castro y. and it slows for the san mateo bridge. we have a crash on surface streets, just getting initial details. your main roadway over toward 880, there's a crash reported, a pedestrian concerned, is involved, this is not far from kitam a elementary school. keep that --

to fight the obesity epidemic to get people to think twice. opponents say the tax hits low-income people the hardest. >> that's really going to change how the city, the stay and this country looks at this product. >> it's not really government's place to decide for us as consumers what is best for us to be putting into our bodies. >> in berkeley at the campaign last night, a last-minute push to get people to support the soda tax. some say if you can't pass a soda tax in liberal berkeley, you can't pass one anywhere. there have been 30 attempts, including the one in richmond, have failed. all eyes are on these two soda tax measures because of the national implications.

>> a lot of money poured into that measure. let's bring in bob redell. he continues our coverage of decision 2014, where he's keeping an eye on the mayoral race. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, sam. who better to fix the san jose police department which has gone through drastic cuts in reecent years. this pits two men, sam liccardo and sam cortese. cortese has already said he'll add iccardo sid he and mayor ry already have a plan to hire 200

officers. measure b was passed to reign in the pension costs. many now blame measure b for contributing to low morale in the police department. this is a measure that liccardo supported. cortese didn't, which is why he's receiving the backing of the police union. the union did get a judge to rule parts of measure b illegal, which the city is trying to appeal. cortese has vowed if elected, he'll back off that appeal. >> bob redell, "today in the bay." >> statewide a bunch of things going on, position of head of state, for example. the governor's race up for grabs. it does appear incumbent jerry brown will remain governor. >> some of the larger measures include proposition 1. that is a water storage and bond

measure endorsed by the governor. >> and another high-profile and controversial measure is prop 46. you've probably seen a lot of those ads. it looks to hold doctors and physicians more accountable through drug screenings and higher malpractice limits. critics say it's geared as much to trial attorneys as it is to doctors. >> coming up on today, a breakdown of the national races to watch and what the results could mean for 2016. it's coming up at 7:00 this morning. our election coverage continues online at nbc bay area.com. just click on the decision, it's at the top of your page. there you can find information on the candidates, as well ballot measure. we will also have election results as they come into our newsroom. >> let's step out of politics mode for just one sec, give you a breather, 6:49 on your tuesday morning, a live picture of san jose looking decidedly hazy this morning. >> that's right, a breather of

some pressure air. christina is going to look at that forecast. >> it will be great news if things get heated, you're talking politics. you'll change the subject to the weather as soon as possible and everything will slowly but surely become more calm. 6:49. a gorgeous day shaping up for you. it's chilly out there but our days are getting shorter. this is what we traditionally see. we'll see a day where we get average lows and average highs. so it's going to feel the way it should for november 4th. 43 in san martin. good morning to you, san carlos. you're waking up at 48 degrees. that is cold enough for a jacket. as you're putting the little ones together for school this morning, make sure that they are ready for the two different parts of the day. it's going to be chilly for the first part and nice and warm and sunny all across the board later on today. let's talk about what's going on on your satellite image rye right now. a couple things to point out. you'll notice here clouds arcing up and around a big ridge of

high pressure, these showers colliding as that ridge high pressure sets up. what's also happening is high pressure moves in and compresses everything, forces it right to the surface and as a result we get that thick fog but it's not going to last long. it should be clearing between by about 9:00 and 10:00. we are losing visibility right now on the peninsula and in san francisco so please travel cautiously, a nice sunny finish between 10:00 and noon. full sunshine for the entire bay area. as we head through your wednesday, peak warmth for the south bay and then temperatures slowly start to drop and we get more rain as we head through the beginning of next week and right now it's looking so good for us to hit that atmospheric river, that subtropical tap looks likely as we head through the 11th, 12th, even 13th of this month. we'll keep you updated. here's mike on your drive. >> it was very slow.

can you guys hear me okay? looking at westbound 92. i got a little concerned. smooth flow of traffic but it's a slower drive right now. there was some sort of stall reported across that span. i see traffic moving a little smoother. they may be making progress there. we have the slower drive for the westbound 92, interchange off of 880 and it will slow folks down in hayward. tracking that as the build continues for the east bay, the tri-valley nothing unusual, through sonoma and fremont, a standard flow there. san mateo, moves nicely toward a congestion spot. reports of a chemical spill of some sort, it's now a nonincident as far as chp is concerned. no slowing just north of the dumbarton bridge. the northbound routes all picking up the volume and that's

a distraction and a bad point for this to cause more slowing off of 85 heading toward downtown san jose. folks will try to get out of whatever slowdown they see. over here we see smoother drive approaching the berkeley area, cleared about 20 minutes ago. the bay bridge toll plaza has a backup. oakland, the live look past the coliseum and the haze, all the way too the bay bridge toll plaza and traffic flow is very slow off 24 and 580, standard in toward san francisco. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. parents in one bay area neighborhood scratching their heads this morning and checking their kids' candy bags, wanting to know who passed out drugs on halloween opinion. >> this is really a disturbing discovery. >> a lot of people saying who would do this sort of thing. police don't know whether it was an accident or whether it was a

foul trick. they know at least within child got methamphetamine in their halloween candy bag on friday. a father told hercules police they were in the promenade neighborhood of hercules when someone put this in his child's candy friday night. it was a tiny bag of white powder that tested positive for meth, enough to constitute a felony. we talked with a couple of teens and they say they don't think their younger siblings will be allowed to now keep their candy. >> my mom will probably throw it out now. >> now it makes you wonder why something like this is going on in your neighborhood. >> police say if they can track down the person the meth belongs to, they'll be able to determine whether it was done on purpose or a trick and whether or not there might be other bags of meth out there in halloween baskets. police urging parents to sort through the candy one more time

and report anything suspicious. this could really happen anywhere. >> it pays to check. >> the last thing it would be on your brain. >> and there are so many different kinds of candies that kids might not realize that it's not. >> right, lucky the child didn't have that. >> too many halloween photos on your phone, there's actually a new place to upload them this morning. >> scott mcgrew, they're sort of free. >> they're free if you're an amazon prime member. you can upload as many photos from your computer or your phone to the amazon cloud. lots of people have stopped trusting a different company's cloud, but do remember that amazon powers much of the internet. a lot of web sites actually run on amazon servers. there's an app you can download for your phone to send them up. >> dublin, ireland, it's 2:30 in

the afternoon there, not waiting for the elections. ands y this is the movie "froze" they say you can download it once, you download it from google play, watch it on your ipad, buy it on itune, you can watch it on your android. >> that's elsa. >> thank you. >> he's going to see it by week's end. >> let it go. >> firefighters are investigating a fire at a construction site in polileasan. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. >> voters will decide on several close races on this election day. polls open in just minutes. they'll close at 8:00 tonight. among the key elections, california's 17th congressional districts and mayoral races in san jose and oakland. >> if you're feeling like lady
