7:19 am
degrees. partly cloudy along the peninsula. in the tri-valley temperatures remain in the 50s, and we are expecting a lot of that cloud cover to stick around for the majority of the day. now, san francisco has seen a combination of some early morning fog along with some clouds, and they are expected to stay pretty overcast all day long as those temperatures begin to climb up into the 60s. now, over the next 20 minutes, they do still have a chance of seeing scattered showers. a cold front that did sweep through last night not bringing much of that rain. temperatures will be climbing into those 70s for the south bay. morgan hills, 70 degrees. san jose, 70 as well. los gatos, 71. we're not going to see a big change in the temperatures if you enjoyed yesterday. today is going to be very similar. the east bay is going to stay in the upper 60s. overall, not really hitting the 70s. we should be seeing a warm-up into the week ahead, but overall today we'll enjoy a very nice calm sunday across the bay area. the peninsula, half moon bay, 63 degrees. out near embarcadero, 65.

talk about the presidential election. this has been so unusual than in past races. >> michelle, tension is probably the best word of all. it's just amazing. this year's contest is really the most important in decades because, a couple of reasons. one, the nation's polarization, and, two, the likelihood that the next president will shape the supreme court for at least a quarter century because of so many possible openings. that's so crucial. along with their many liabilities, each candidate actually has an asset. hillary clinton has a superior ground game to boost a turnout. donald trump has unmatched enthusiasm from his base. so whichever of these assets is most prominent will go a long way in determining the outcome of this critical race. >> we've been spending so much time talking about the presidential race. what about the senate? what are the issues? what should we be looking out for? >> kind of an amazing story here. this is one of the three most important offices of the state. the governor and the other u.s. senator being the other two. yet the race has been almost a

including propositions on gun control, california's plastic bag ban, two on capital punishment, and these are all complicated. they require a lot of effort to fully understand. >> a wide variety on the local level as well. >> yeah. but you know what? of all these things, and there are many, minimum wage, for example, other things like that, land use, still the transportation issue is the most dominant of all. san francisco al meeda, contra costa voters have been asked to modernize b.a.r.t. and santa clara voters have been asked to support a $6.5 billion proposal that would repair roads, increase the efficiency of highways, and, yes, bring b.a.r.t. to san jose. that's $10 billion right there for two those projects. both of these would require a two-thirds vote. >> larry, you have been doing this a long time. is this the real deal? is this more complicated than in years past? >> michelle, i don't think it's more complicated but i do think it's more weighty and i'll tell
7:50 am
you why. >> okay. >> weighty. in addition to the statewide ballot proposal it's, there are countless locals offices and school finance propositions to be decided by the voters. perhaps that's why 60% of the voters like you will vote in advance of tuesday's election. it's just a lot to figure out at the voting booth all at once, even if you have a long lunch hour. >> take your time but do it before tuesday. all right. thank you so much for your time. we'll be seeing a lot of larry in the next couple days. have a good one. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, talk about vip taj. a pair of 120-year-old levis are up for sale and they're expected to rake in a lot of cash. partly cloudy skies, nice school temperatures. i'll have a look ahead at what you can expect on voting day. coming up after the break. stay with us.

francisco, even out near the south bay area. by monday at about 10:00 we should be clearing out altogether bringing in the sunshine and, of course, that high pressure in the forecast which is going to warm us right up into the 70s. if you're looking ahead for sunshine, this week is going to be the one to do so, but speaking of that cold front, we have a high surf advisory along the coast and that is in effect until about 9:00. now, that swell is causing some pretty high wave at about 17 feet hitting anywhere between 22 feet, but i know everybody is worried about that raider's game so let's look at an hour-by-hour forecast. 3:00, 60 kickoff, 65, 62. grab a light sweater because towards the end of the game it could be a little chilly. election day forecast, you have no excuses not to head out to the poll because rain will not get into your way. cool temperatures won't get in your way and definitely in triple digits. mostly sunny, 67 degrees.

over the next seven days we're really just going to start seeing a warm-up in the pattern as that high pressure begins to dominate. we're bringing in the sunshine so that fall-like feel we've been enjoying for the past two days or weekend overall, it's really not going to feel that way. it's going to feel a little bit more like suge mmer. i personally enjoy the cloud cover, but i welcome good weather all around. what do you think? >> agreed. thank you so much. looks like a good day. if you have election fatigue, you are not alone. one sacramento woman is doing something creative about it. amanda blanc is behind the make america kind again. they designed these lawn signs and tote bags hoping it will start a political conversation. she says the message is for all americans. >> it's for everybody. i mean, i just want to represent kindness. >> she posted the items on her

etsy page and orders started coming in from all over the country. it's been a welcome boost of income and helped her reduce the election stress level. finally this morning, this gives vintage is whole new meaning. these levis jeans were produced in san francisco and are 123 years old. they're up for auction in maine. the auction house says the jeans were made in 1893 for a pioneer business man, and unlike modern levis, these have one back pocket and no belt loops because they just used suspenders back then. in the past similar jeans have sold for as high as six figures. these jeans are never even worn. i don't like spending a hundred dollars let alone a million dollars. >> i wonder what size they are. >> i think they'd fit you. thanks so much for making us part of your morning. remember, no 5:00 or 6:00 tonight. instead, sunday night football. the raiders host the broncos. a special edition of nbc bay
