every morning through tuesday, will be at the coastline, drizzle, mist. look what happens tuesday morning. we get an enhanced lift with this trough that moves through. we will have more spotty showers tuesday morning, anywhere from the santa cruz mountains over towards san francisco and even over near places like mill valley, over towards the higher elevati elevations. most of us won't see the rain unless you are traveling through some of the higher elevations. or if you are venturing into san francisco tuesday morning. keep that in mind. you may run into slick roads. you know how it gets when we get the first rain of the season. the oil on the roadways comes up to the surface and creates slick roads. it's not going to be much rain. we're talking about a couple hundredths of an inch. a lot of this activity will be concentrated to the santa cruz mountains. higher elevations. if you live in the valley, don't expect much from this. we are just getting started with the rain season.

nowhere was a bill from rural metro for the ambulance rides. instead, just a notice from a debt collector, a move that can leave a mark on your credit and lead to higher costs. >> my gosh, there's got to be a mistake here some place. >> two years later, somebody dropped the ball. >> reporter: within 48 hours of an inquiry, rural metro wiped the bills clean. in a statement the company explained what happened. quote, the issue resulted from a processing change that was made when rural metro came oust bankruptcy. we have identified and corrected the issue and are handling each inquiry on a case by case basis. did you receive a collection notice for an ambulance ride? tell us about it. or any other consumer complaint. you can share your story, documents, photos and videos. everything we need to help us investigate your case. back to you. >> chris, thanks. more ahead on "today in the bay." a swimmer trying to break a

after blasting women, mexicans, muslims, and the u.s. military, donald trump h praiserussian pren after blasting women, mexicans, muslims and the u.s. military, donald trump has praised russian president putin for his leadership and has suggested that the u.s. might not defend nato allies against russian aggression. trump's remarks have drawn criticism from marco rubio who calls putin a thug and paul ryan who referred to putin as an aggressor. what do we make of trump's new stance?

larry is here. isn't this an unusual route to election? but with trump it seems nothing is unusual. >> that's right. just about everything with trump has been enconventional and different from anything we have seen in the past. not only has he repeatedly offended huge segments of the voting population, he needs to win, but had virtually had no ground game in battleground states and almost no campaign advertising. he has thrived on the unconventional. implying that more of the same old just won't work in america anymore. then we can't overlook his incredibly loyal base, which is dispr disproporti disproportionately made up of white males. his base loves it. >> i must have missed that quote.

yes, there are obviously people who love him. what is it that makes him so popular with his followers? >> he strikes his supporters as authentic. his answers -- he answers complex problems with simple solutions that people understand and embrace. he doesn't sound like a politician. his base doesn't mind offensive remarks or coarse language. finally, he is able to dodge questions by changing the topic or denying his own previous statements. until recently, reporters just didn't press trump. why? because many couldn't separate trump the celebrity from trump the presidential candidate. now, people are acting differently. >> yeah. here we are, we are eight weeks out from election day, eight weeks tuesday. most shows anything from a slight clinton lead to a dead heat. it depends what poll you are looking at. given trump's unorthodox approach, why would you say this is so close? >> there are lots of reasons.

here are three that hit it hard. first, trump as we know has tapped into an alienated s e ed of society. people who feel left out from the economic recovery and who are angered by immigration. they feel that the system, if you will, has let them down. and that trump represents real change. second factor, clinton has been a weak campaigner. despite her vast experience, she's had a hard time pulling away the e-mail issue, which has led her detractors to accuse clinton of being deceptive and inauthentic. third, there's the matter of alternating power over the past 50 years, only once has a candidate from the political party ending two terms of the presidency been able to secure election. that was george h.w. bush who by the way lasted only a single term after ronald reagan. the fact is, americans like change. they like change after two

terms. clinton is bucking that incredibly important tradition. >> what kind of events or developments -- this is a loaded question -- could tip the election one way or other? >> it's an important question. here is where there are conventional answers to a highly unconventional campaign. we want to watch for too many outrageous statements by trump or a claim that goes well beyond reason, anything so far. some people thought the comments about the putin might drive away support. any dramatic change may still come. watch to see whether there's an e-mail discovery that clearly -- not just a smo is that clearly implicates her. of course, the debates loom large in this campaign. more so than ever. the performances of either candidate could break open the race. finally, there's always the unknown.

the unknown, it's the terrorist tact. it's a major endorsement, unexpected economic calamity. any of these things might make the difference. each day between now and november 8 looms larger than the day before. some people just can't wait for that next day, november 9th, to come. >> i'm one of them. can't wait to see you and not talk about this. as always, larry, gerston, thans for joining ugs. coming up, an abandoned dog found locked in a cage. we will tell you how police were able to come to the rescue. we have sunshine across parts of the east bay. cloud coverage across the entire bay area. we will talk about that and a cooler day ahead and maybe showers ahead. we will talk about the full forecast after the break.

welcome back here on this sunday. 7:53 the time. start off with our shot from our live camera network. san francisco through the tri-valley and the peninsula, clouds. the clouds not everywhere. we are looking at sunshine across the tri-valley and same deal for the south bay. as we get going into the afternoon, a good mix of sun and clouds at the coastline. staying cool in san francisco today. only 62 degrees there. the tri-valley will see temperatures in the 80s. 73 for the peninsula. 79 today for the south bay. the fog will peel back to the coastline as we head towards noon. you will notice this evening, cloud cover does move right back on into the inland valley.

concentrated to the coastline, higher elevations and across the north bay mountains in you live in the valley, not much in terms of rain fall. tuesday afternoon, clouds clear out. then our attention turns to the sierra. we will track the potential of thunderstorms tuesday night. tuesday is the day to watch for any wet activity. again, don't think it's much. in fact, you will notice estimated rainfall, only a few hundredth of an inch, from san francisco, down through santa cruz. everyone where else looks like we will stay dry. if you live in the inland valley, like san jose, and you do any compumuting into san francisco tuesday morning, you may run into wet roads. keep that in mind for the morning commute. sunday looking good. 60s and 70s for most of the us. a few places top out near 80, like san jose. into the low 80s for the tri-valley. the next seven days does tell a

cooler story. tuesday, the coolest day. that's when the trough will move overhead and bring more cloud cover and san francisco i think we will get morning showeres. once this moves out, we're back to dry skies. keep in mind, tuesday morning the commute could be very dicey, especially if you travel through the santa cruz mountains, highway 1 or any of the bay bridges. the golden gate bridge, san mateo bridge could be slick. >> people have to reremember how to drive in the rain. >> big time. >> thanks. before we go, a few more stories. we have a look for you -- a new look at mars. take a look. nasa's curiosity rover sent back these new color photos of the red planet. the images show in detail rocky terrain on mars' surface. it's expected to give researchers a better understanding of how the current landscape of mars came to be. back here on earth, a puppy abandoned in the south bay gets a permanent home.
