valleys, those 40s will warm up, but today is the start of our cooling trend. the reason for that is because we've got an approaching system, a bit of a trough and a cold front that's going to sweep in and going to cause our temperatures to decrease not just into the overnight hours but also our daytime highs as well. at about 12:00, 69 degrees. the weather will be much more comfortable. if you're hanging out outside, you're going to notice it will not feel as hot. as far as the air quality goes, there's very much an air quality advisory in effect through tonight because of the active wildfires burning in southern oregon. that smoke is drifting in our direction. i'll break down, talk about that next chance of rain coming up at about, 15 minutes. >> looking forward to it. 7:01 for you right now. one community ramping up its fight over drivers who won't slow down. the popular cutoff for impatient drivers has become a high speed crash zone. the neighbors live there on blossom drive in south soes are hoping this video of that car crashing friday afternoon will be the evidence they need to

those guys right here, that's going to mean everything. that means that his legacy is never going to die. when you come to this stadium, you're going to see the guy who started the dynasty, dwight clark. >> nbc bay area is also paying tribute to clark. hear more stories from joe, eddie debartolo, rice, singer huey lewis and tina turner and dwight's brother, jeff. "hero in the end zone: dwight clark" airs tonight after sunday night football. the mega millions jackpot has become the largest lottery prize in history, soaring to $1.6 billion. that's because no one won that drawing friday night, but one person did get five of the six numbers correct in morgan hill, and won $3.4 million. not too bad. saturday some people turned out as the am/pm store hoping luck

strikes twice. >> i hit the seven number twice with two other numbers on the line, so not the big one but it's a good sign. >> the next mega millions drawing will be on tuesday. no winner last night in the powerball drawing either so that means at $620 million to top the mega millions. jackpot now a combined $2.2 billion in winnings, up for grabs there. the odds not exactly in our favor there, but hey, it's always fun playing this, you know, get in the pools at work or with your friends, hoping that maybe we're going to have that lucky ticket. >> you know, i'll probably still go out and buy another one. you know what else we don't have very many on the scene? >> what? >> rain. i know i've been talking about it all week but unfortunately it looks like that system not bringing us good chances in the bay area and some people believe it or not like the rain. we've enjoyed a lot of sunshine and warmer temperatures, but look at this shot of woodside,

absolutely beautiful. could you see that marine layer, using our weather underground cameras. we have a nice glow, thanks to that sunrise, but let's talk about those temperatures and what we're seeing outside, as we head out the door this morning, right now in san jose, 56 degrees, wind speeds at about 5 miles per hour. not really a factor this morning, but as we head in towards the afternoon, you may notice a little bit of that cloud cover that starts to build along the coast, particularly right now through santa rosa, napa and san francisco is going to burn off much like what we've enjoyed all week, starting out patchy foggy, a little bit cloudy and then it clears out and we enjoy a sunny afternoon. as far as our temperatures, we are seeing an approaching system, and this is kind of a cold front, paired with a trough, and what that's going to do is bring us some cooling, starting today, our temperatures will already be running four degrees cooler in some spots, maybe a little bit more in others. your highs for today for san jose 84 degrees. 75 in san francisco 69 degrees. let's talk about your air

quality advisory still in effect through tonight all the way from the north bay down through the south bay. the reason for that is because there are active wildfires burning in southern oregon. all that spoke and haze has managed to creep its way down through the bay area so something to keep in mind because i know that a lot of folks might be heading outside, to kick it and hang out and enjoy the sunshine. just be aware of that. as far as your long range outlook, the next chance of seeing some rain. now unfortunately that initial system that's going to creep on in, on tuesday, is going to be steered off far north. the ridge of high pressure is going to start building over most of california down through central and southern california, and that's going to keep the majority of california dry, at least through next week. we will notice from the system is going to be the cooling thanks to the pairing with the cold front, and that's going to keep our daytime highs comfortable. looking way ahead and this is towards next tuesday, this is

going to possibly bring our next chance into the 28th, next weekend, of seeing late rain, and this is all still kind of far out. the models are conflicted at this point. once again showing that system staying mainly off to the north, and high pressure dominating in our forecast, which is going to mean warmer temperatures towards the end of the work week. here is what it looks like over the next seven days. if you notice, i took off those rain chances because that system is completely going to be centered off to the far northern california. so we're not worried about rain moving in, as we head in towards tomorrow, temperatures 66 degrees, temperatures will remain into the upper 60s and inland temperatures 70s as we head toward monday. marcus? >> thanks, vianey. still ahead on "today in the bay," he lost his wife in the north bay fires, but her beloved steer angel survived. >> she is the prettiest thing i've ever seen. >> one man's year-long journey to return angel to the place she

a nice way. >> reporter: but with no water, no power, no fencing or barn, glenn was going to need help fixing up the property enough to bring his four-legged two-horned friend home. good thing then that unbeknownst to glenn, angel had a fan club. you see, standing alongside 101 for the past 15 years, angel had become a fixture to the thousands of commuters who passed her every single day. when they learned via social media she survived the fire, but needed help to come home, well -- >> they lined up in droves to help us get her home. >> reporter: they started a go fund me page, paid to have the water restored and rebuilt the fences and the small structure for angel, all so this past sunday this could happen. >> all right! oh, that's great. that is just dynamite. >> reporter: in the long history of cowboys, it's hard to believe that one has ever been happier

to have a cow come home. >> boy, she is the prettiest thing i've ever seen. >> reporter: there is still so much on this ranch, and in this region, that is not the same as it was one year ago, but one step at a time, one cow at a time, they are getting back to normal. >> she made it home. and sonoma county is still strong. >> glenn and andy's family are so appreciative of the efforts of others to help bring angel back. they have so much to do on their own. this is something they could not have done on their own. garvin thomas, nbc bay area. >> great story there. much more ahead on "today in the bay." some are calling it the most contentious and confusing ballot measure. we break down prop eight and what it could mean for the medical industry.

good morning, on this sunday

morning. 7:30 for you right now, and a beautiful shot of the sunrise there in dublin. what a way to wake up on a sunday morning. thanks for starting your morning with us on "today in the bay." i'm marcus washington in for kira klapper. vianey has a look at the beautiful forecast, just beautiful. >> a nice way to wake up. we have pink and orange hues. not a lot of cloud cover. best way to start my favorite day of the week, that happens to be sunday. i want to talk about a couple of clouds that are lingering in some spots, including through santa rosa. expect limited visibility if it you're headed up through the north bay portions of the peninsula as well as hayward and you might spot a couple of lingering clouds along the golden gate bridge. as far as the cloud cover, anything that we're seeing now as far as the marine layer is expected to burn off by mid morning and going to make way for a cooler afternoon. so far right now as you head out the door, here is what you can expect. we're talking about 50s in the south bay, 56 degrees, so notice the temperatures are nice and

mild. if you take it up through the interior valleys including livermore and concord, the temperatures are a little chilly in the 40s. 48 degrees for concord. up through the north bay, napa at 49 and santa rosa 49. we have a couple of changes on the way that could impact your work week, so i will break it all down for you coming up in about 15 minutes. >> looking forward to that, vianey. 7:32 for you right now. one community ramping up its fight over drivers who won't slow down. popular cutoff for impatient drivers has become a high speed crash zone. the neighbors who live on gerham blossom drive in south san jose are hoping this video of a car crashing friday afternoon will be the evidence to prove their point. they tell us after the city put in traffic controls in surrounding streets, it's become more dangerous, as drivers constantly speed through the neighborhood there to avoid traffic and signals and speed bumps. >> they're just using these streets as a thoroughway to get through and it's really dangerous.

>> it's super scary. we purposely bought this house thinking it was a safe neighborhood. >> neighbors say after the latest incident, it's time for the city to enforce traffic rules and hopefully install some speed bumps to slow down those drivers. a little girl has been reunited with her father today, this is in san jose, this is after a man stole the family's car with her inside. here is a look at the alleged car thief police arrested last night. 30-year-old martin huerta. police say the 5-year-old's father left her in the car yesterday afternoon as he went into a convenience store at story road there and leeward drive. police say that's when huerta swooped in. officers spotted the stolen car and huerta got out and started running. he was arrested a few minutes later. the little girl was not hurt. a follow-up to a story we first brought you on friday, a man accused of firing a gun at

oakland police officers is under arrest. this happened during a foot chase friday morning. police say an officer tried to detain a suspicious person, when he took off running. during that chase, that man fired. the officer was not hit, and the officer did not fire back. that man's name has not been released but that gun has been recovered. more than 6,000 kids and teens suffer sports-related concussions each year. by law, youth club sports have to follow the same safety measures and teens in schools but senior investigative reporter bigad shaban learned no one is making sure the kids' league is playing by the rules. >> reporter: good morning. coaches all across california are required to follow certain safety measures to keep young athletes protected, so why are so many youth sports leagues in the bay area dropping the ball? >> there's a lot of players who want to play through injuries. there's a lot of coaches that want to you play through injuries and that doesn't just happen in football.

it happens in every sport. >> reporter: we investigate how a lack of training for coaches and zero enforced by the state could be putting thousands of kids at risk for serious injuries. we'll have that story for you and more tonight at 9:00 after the game. >> all right, thanks, bigad. president trump used pointed words to rally republicans ahead of the election. the president spoke during a rally in nevada saturday, campaigning for senator dean heller. he says the democratic party has become an unhad iniinged mob determined to get power by any means necessary. >> i like where we stand in the election. i think that blue wave is being rapidly shattered. you know, all the democrats want is power and they got this blue wave deal going, not looking like a blue wave. >> now, nevada is the

battleground state in the midterm elections. former president barack obama plans to pass through tomorrow to campaign in las vegas. one of the most contentious measures on the november ballot deals with a medical procedure most of us don't know much about, dialysis. the measure has pitted a coalition of unions against the billion-dollar medical industry. "today in the bay's" anish arasta has a look at what proposition eight is all about. >> reporter: more than 60,000 people in california need dialysis to live, and the number grows every year. >> dialysis keeps me alive. >> reporter: it's an expensive medical treatment that uses a machine to clean your blood. >> the red part is where the blood comes out of my arm and the blue part is where the blood goes back in. >> reporter: ban ben gives him treatment at home because he

wasn't happy with the cleanliness and service at the local dialysis clinic. >> there was a certain time i was having dialysis, and they needed to move the machine for some reason, and i saw old blood on the grouped. >> reporter: banbury supports proposition eight. >> prop eight ensures vulnerable patients don't get ripped off. >> reporter: prop eight would put a cap on how much profit dialysis clinics can make. no more than 15% of the cost of care, that means that the patient's treatment costs $100,000, the clinic could only make a $15,000 profit. any money over the cap would need to be returned to the patient or the insurance company or reinvested in the clinic. supporters of prop eight argue the measure would spur clinic improvements, both in facilities and staffing. they also say patients are overcharged. >> a 350% markup over the cost of care. >> i would argue that we are one of the most regulated industries in health care.

>> reporter: dr. brian wong runs a dialysis clinic in oakland and serves many underprivileged patients. he is one of t dr. wong opposes proposition eight saying the cap on profits wouldn't cover the costs of caring for the patients. >> it will cause dialysis clinics to cut back services or shut down. >> reporter: ultimately it's not the wealth ye patients who would suffer, insists dr. wong. >> it would decimate those clinics that are in economically disadvantaged areas, so that it would lead to their closure, and therefore reduce the chance for these patients to get care locally. >> reporter: dr. wong admits dialysis is expensive but tells us prop eight is not the solution. he argues the issue in health care financing in general is too complicated to put on the ballot and should be handled by lawmakers. he suggests that doctors, patient groups and insurance companies should get in a room and figure it out together. >> let's go through this

methodically, but in collaboration, not in opposition. >> reporter: if voters approve prop eight, it would take effect on or after january 1st and the california department of health would be responsible for implementing and enforcing it. still ahead here on "today in the bay," we are one day before the online and mail-in voter registration deadline. have you been discouraged from participating in the november election? political analyst larry gerston joins us to explain why some state officials are trying to suppress the vote. and the sharks look to get things going in the early season, ahmed fareed of nbc sports bay area shows us how they fared against the new york islanders at the tank. sports coming up next.

the san jose sharks shook up the hockey world when they traded for defenseman erik karlsson days before the regular

policies and their elected 7:45 for you right now. voting is the easiest way for s sit skens to weigh in on public policies and elected officials. it is a critical election given the controversial presidency of donald trump yet some state election officials have worked to suppress the vote, that is discourage voters from participating in the 2018 election. nbc bay area's political analyst

larry gerston joins us to explain this contradiction. you have to ask yourself why are we seeing elected officials trying to suppress the vote? >> good question. very simple rule, marcus, when it comes to voting. the easier it is to vote, the more likely that larger numbers of people will participate. the harder it is to vote, it follows that fewer people participate. with respect to voter suppression, officials in some states may shorten early voting period, require strict identification, or provide fewer election sites in certain parts of the state, but nothing, nothing is easier than finding ways to remove voters from the voter rolls, those removed tend to fall into three categories, college students who no longer live at home, older citizen answand most of people of color who may not be aware because of their economic position or lack of education. the result to be an electorate not only much different than otherwise but an electorate more friendly to those in power. >> so we see this voter

suppression, is it pretty common or really how common is this tactic? >> well, according to the brennan institute, since 2010, 24 states lawmakers in 24 states have passed hundreds of measures to discourage voting. these states are all over the nation, including places like new hampshire, ohio, wisconsin, arizona, alabama, texas and tennessee, to name a few and in the most recent case in 2017, georgia removed, get this, more than 500,000 voters from the rolls under its use it or lose it requirement, meaning that if you didn't vote in the last election, you had to reregister, and that was followed by purging 50,000 more voters just this year, and here's the rub. more than 70,000 of the recently removed georgia voters are african-american in the state, where they comprise 32% of the electorate. the georgia secretary of state responsible for the voter purges

is the candidate for governor in 2018. >> okay, and we see this, we hear this. how can this come to be? this seems to be so un-american. >> un-american. when congress facted the 1965 civil rights act, one portion required states to get federal approval before changing the voting rules. 2013 the u.s. supreme court decided 5-4 that this rule was no longer necessary and last june the supreme court again by a 5-4 vote affirmed a state's right to lop nonvoters from previous elections off the rolls all together. >> so what about here in california, what can be said about that? >> it's different here. it's extremely rare. that's because in this state, voters are rarely lopped off the rolls. through california law, it facilitates voting through easy registration, early voting and most of all the opportunity to register as an absentee voter, so popular is this last category that as many as 70% of

california voter also cas will their vote november 6th by dropping their balance the los -- ballots in the mail. >> what it be done about this and elsewhere? >> for opponents of voter purges the road is fraught with problems. first someone has to complain he or she is incorrectly denied the right to vote and he or she has to find an attorney to take the case to court. the attorney would argue the law unconstitutionally applied. even then a judge often has to decide the merits of the complaint quickly and often not quickly enough. so here is the bottom line. because of suppression in 2018, we may see national election results skewed quite differently than the preferences of the entire would be electorate. when president trump won in 2016, he falsely claimed that 3 million to 5 million undocumented immigrants voted in that election falsely. here we have concrete advantages of people being denied the right

to vote. it's a very curious way to explain american democracy. >> i'd like to see more people fighting against that. larry always breaking it down for us, thank you. still ahead on "today in the bay," certainly not trick-or-treaters. the amazing video from a local home and the back story behind this brawl. >> whoa, i couldn't imagine that catching that on my doorstep. as you head out the doorstep the temperatures in the 40s and 50s. mild through the south bay. we'll talk about our daytime highs and what we can expect looking ahead toward your work week coming up.

interesting change. an incoming cold front will drop our temperatures down as we head toward the work week. today is only the beginning of slightly cooler temperatures. san jose a predicted high of about 80 degrees. milpitas 78 and look at the east bay through the interior valleys we'll go from the low 70s in oakland, in through walnut creek at 82, and it's going to be much cooler for those interior valleys. low 80s for today. we were tracking some uhmer 80s through friday and saturday, but a cooldown is going to make its way into monday. check out san mateo 70 degrees. if you are headed into the city, 67 for mission and novato and sonoma, low 80s, upper 70s. i want to talk about your air quality because this is still very much in effect. originally it was set to expire we were hoping for better air quality through the weekend but unfortunately that smoke and haze from the southern oregon fires is drifting down through portions of the north bay, and all the way down through the south bay, so we're going to keep haze on there at least through tonight with much better

conditions as we head in towards monday. let's talk about that rain, because i had those rain chances and i kept talking about how they were diminishing as we inch closer to seeing the storm system, and that's exactly what happened. that storm system is now really going to be centered far off north. you could see it up through seattle, and even through portland and take a look at the bay area, so tuesday is when the cold front drops paired with that trough and the most we'll seek from the system is going to be the cooling so that's what's going to be felt throughout the bay area. as far as the rain, not so much. we don't really have to worry about it. ridge of high pressure is going to start to build over southern and central california. it's going to keep most of california dry, but the long range outlook models show another system moving in, and this moves in next weekend, and as that possibly arrives late next weekend, we could see our best rain chance ahead, maybe even just before halloween. nobody wants rain for halloween so we hope that system stays off to the north. over the next seven days here is a look at what you can expect, monday and tuesday in san

francisco we'll keep the overnight clouds and early morning fog as far as your inland temperatures very comf t comfortab comfortable, fall-like 70s and as kira and i like to say, web t when the fall rolls around we bring out candles and cozy blankets. do you have them? >> not the candles but the blankets. i love the fall weather. thanks. all right, so a big night for a couple of nbc bay area own's own, president and general manager stacey owen along with anchor jessica aguirre are the latest inductees into the silver circle, they have in sell vision broadcasting for at least 25 years. stacey and jessica are tremendous leaders in our newsroom and from all of us on nbc bay area, we want to congratulate them both. all right, so what do you do if you grow a 1400 pound pumpkin, vianey? >> i don't know. spend hours carving it. >> you'll take a lot of pictures. then you probably will carve it. the largest pumpkin ever grown

in russia has been on display this week in moscow. this whopper of a pumpkin is 440 pounds heavier than the previous recorded holder. everyone who wanted a piece of this giant pumpkin got one to take home with him. >> there it goes. >> finally this morning, look at that, cool. look at this, we've all had those guests at home we don't want but look at this, you see right here, this is crazy, two bucks decided to have their fight on someone's front porch, this is surveillance video taken from a home in marin county. the bucks locked horns, sent the pumpkins and the plant vases just flying as they wanted to dish it out there. take that somewhere else! >> not on my lawn. that's pretty neat, though. there they go. >> the mess that they created. >> march discuss saying, not on my front porch. >> thanks for making us part of your morning. no 5:00 and 6:00 tonight. instead sunday football night in
