"today in the bay" continues right now. good morning. thank you for starting your day with us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. you got an extra hour of sleep over the weekend and now time for work. >> the extra hour of sleep means the sun will be rising earlier this morning, so we are going to see mostly clear skies as you get ready to head out the door. let's head over to dublin where you see the sun coming over the hills. still 35 minutes away from sunrise. headed to work, it is chilly out there, only some upper 40s, but a quick warmup as we go into the afternoon hours, we'll be in the mid-70s by 1:00 today. we'll take a look at all of our microclimates coming up.

suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, pete. 6:02 right now. turning to decision 2018, in less than 24 hours, the polls will open across america to the midterm elections. at stake, who will control congress, republicans or democrats. nbc's tracie potts is live from washington, d.c., with a look at what we can expect as both sides are really making the final push for votes, tracey. tracie? >> reporter: that includes president trump who is back on the campaign trail today after leaving the south. he will focus on the midwest on the final full day of campaigning before the polls open. >> reporter: the final sprint. today president trump rallies in ohio, indiana and missouri, crisscrossing the midwest, making his final arguments. >> i need you to get your family, to get your friends, get your neighbors, get your co-workers, and to go out and vote republican.

>> reporter: he's going after democrats, like stacy abrams, running for governor of georgia. >> she will make your jobs disappear like magic. >> i am the most qualified candidate. >> reporter: last night, this on the democrat running for senate in tennessee. >> he will embrace a socialist takeover of health care. >> if you don't have a substantial corporate health plan from your employer, obamacare, the affordable care act is the only vehicle there is for protecting for someone who has got preexisting conditions. >> reporter: a new nbc/"wall street journal" poll shows one day before the election democrats have a seven-point edge among likely voters, while the president's job approval rating remains upside down. >> don't be bamboozled. don't let them run the okey doak on you. the character of our country is on the ballot. >> reporter: the president is urging voters to vote republican

based on his record. tracie potts, nbc news, washington. >> if you have any problems whatsoever at the polls, we want to hear about it. nbc bay area is teaming up with pro publica to track any issues on election day. if you spot a problem, we want to you call us, the number toll free for you, 833-nbc-kntv. again that's 833-nbc-kntv or let us know at nbcbayarea.com/decision2018. it is 6:05 right now. exhausted and hungry, the front end of that massive migrant caravan is now in mexico city. migrants began arriving there yesterday. most of them walked or hitchhiked. they're now being housed at a local stadium. many migrants left from their home countries in central america fleeing poverty and violence. president trump has made the caravan a big issue in the buildup to tuesday's election. there are three caravans slowly moving through mexico stretched

across 300 miles. ahead of two key meetings focused on rvs in san francisco, "the examiner" obtained hard numbers on people sleeping in their vehicles. recent count found 432 vehicles being used for sleeping in san francisco. 313 were rvs. 119 more were passenger vehicles, like suvs. most are being parked in one of three neighborhoods, mission, bay view and taraval. some may be trying to get shortened their commutes there. and new a story you'll only see on "today in the bay," we're home again to one of its most powerful machines on the globe. the lawrence-livermore national laboratory unveiling sierra, the world's third fastest super computer. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us outside the lab. sierra will be used for national security but to improve our health. >> reporter: correct, laura and marcus. specifically to help look for a better way to treat certain

types of cancer. i want you to think about that high-end pc that you might have at home. it can perform 100 floating billion operations per second. this is sierra, a 125 petaflop super computer located here at the lab that can perform 125 quadrillion floating point operations per second. that's over a million times more powerful than your high-end pc. as you can see, it takes up quite a lot of room, 7,000 square feet here at the lawrence livermore lab, 240 racks of computers outfitted with ibm cpu but nvidia gpus. it's a heterogeneous architecture that will allow modeling and simulations in 3-d as opposed to just 2-d. scientists are using sierra to come up with new drug therapies for treating certain types of cancers, doing research on traumatic brain injuries, earthquake simulations.

eventually sierra used to identify the country's stockpile of nuclear weapons, since underground testing is no longer allowed. >> you think of our nuclear deterrent that we depend very heavily on, the outside world can't see the calculations we do. they can't see the results. it's classified. they can see the hardware we site and the hardware we site sends a message to the rest of the world that we take our mission seriously and tend to stay a step ahead of everybody else. >> reporter: sierra generates so much heat, the super computer must be cooled with cold water piped throughout the system and giant cooling fans in a basement directly underneath. the system requires about 12 mega watts of electricity. that's enough power for about 9,000 homes. take a look at this list on your tv screen. the fastest super computer in the world is located at the oak ridge national labe in tennessee. number two in china, number three here at the

lawrence-livermore lab, also home to sequoia, which used to be the fastest super computer back in 2012. now it's number eight. reporting live in livermore, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> pretty interesting. thanks a lot, bob. right now it's 6:09, as you get ready to head out the door, we are starting to see the sunrise. live look at san jose and sunnyvale looking at beautiful weather but warmer than normal in the upper 60s for early november, but we'll already be in the low 70s today, and as you're getting up and out the door for school this morning in antioch, we'll be at 53 degrees at 7:00, and from 53 to 63, a couple of hours later, and then up to 73 degrees at noon. so a quick warmup in our temperatures today. we'll talk about the rest of the week coming up and mike, now you have a new crash in walnut creek. >> that's right, kari, which is a bad time, it's 6:09, just after 6:00, we see the build around cocoa county and alameda

county. south 680 toward main just got word of this crash, maybe in lanes, expect more slowing for 242 out of pleasant hill and concord. walnut creek interchange moves smoothly. 24 an easy drive until we get to the caldecott and the build toward the bay bridge toll plaza and over 20 minutes. 22 registering from highway 4 to the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on. back to you. >> thanks, mike. >> 6:10. as you get ready to leave this morning, you may be dreading that commute. next, some new numbers this morning on the drastic steps some people are taking to be a little less frustrated every single day. and a new investigation into tesla, breaking this morning. we'll bring you live coverage. and at 6:25 for you, why some kanye west local fans are fed up. this is after spending big bucks at his shop. you're watching "today in the bay."

the time is 6:13 and we have mostly clear skies. here say live look outside at fremont this morning. we'll get a lot of sunshine and 51 degrees at 8:00. at noon we're at 67 and some low 70s today, and it's going to be another nice one. we'll talk about the rest of the week coming up in less than five minutes. >> the time shift yesterday, a little shift for our patterns here, showing the tri valley and the east bay, which is typical slowing though for 880 and 680. no problem yet for the south

bay. we'll talk about what we see as far as a little bit different flow. a very happy monday to you. the markets could start in the red again today, despite friday's very good jobs news. the economy is really chugging along on all cylinders. apple, though, worried investors as it announced it would no longer tell us specifically how many iphones and other gadgets it sold. apple is listed on the dow, so it pulled the dow lower. tesla is also in focus this morning. new this morning, acsituaticusa tesla does not allow its employees to call 911, even after serious injuries at its factories. instead, they need permission to call for an ambulance from the on-call doctor, who rarely allows it. acco according to a former employee. reveal part of the is it are for investigative reporting found tesla is trying to hide serious

injuries from the government and the public. among the findings tesla's contract doctors insist seriously injured workers, including one who severed a finger be sent to the emergency room in a lyft. reporter will evans from the center for investigative reporting joins me from reveal's emeryville location. tell us what you found. >> we found that the clinic was actually failing to properly treat the workers as part of an overall strategy to avoid counting the injuries. so they'd send workers back to the assembly line quite injured, even some who could barely walk. >> right, and tesla is supposed to provide the government with an accurate injury account, so that's not happening, you say. >> that's right. counting the injuries is legally mandated, and it goes into an injury rate that shows sort of the overall safety record of the

company, and tesla's really focused on showing that it's improved safety, but we found that they're just not counting injuries. >> this is the second time reveal's investigated tesla. tesla pushed back on your first report. what has tesla said about the new report? >> tesla wouldn't answer any of our questions, but they have said that they're very happy with the care that their employees are getting, and we talked to the doctor who runs the clinic who said everything is based on accurate diagnoses, and sometimes workers don't know what's best for them. >> will evans with the center for investigative reporting, thanks for being with us this morning. our coverage of one of the other issues in this got rules change, this was vicky nguyen's issue a couple years ago, story a couple years ago, about the post office. they looked at postal workers not allowed to call 911, much like let's investigation at tesla. find our investigative work

nbcbayarea.com, and the new reveal report about tesla at revealnews.org. >> concerning for those workers, very much so. thank you. a lot of people complain about their morning commute. they share their horror stories, but a lot of commuters are taking drastic steps to eels the frustration they're feeling a couple of times a day. recent survey found one in five workers are leaving their jobs to find a closer one to home. >> when you think about it, a commute can be very stressful, can really play not only into your performance at work, but really into your work/life balance as well, too, and do you it every day. >> on average, commuters are spending close to an hour a day getting to and from work, with some spending an hour each way. it's even more for a lot of people in the bay area. big time. not so much when you get up at 3:30 in the morning. perk? >> instead of changing your shift. >> some people are getting up earlier to beat the traffic.

>> true. >> this morning we have a little bit more light in the sky, as you head to work and we're going to see a cool start this morning. here is a live look outside in san francisco, and it's all cleared this morning. no fog there rolling by the bridge. we'll see some sunshine throughout the day, as you step out the door. it's 44 degrees in santa rosa and napa, and mostly some low 50s around the bay area, but as you take a look at the seven-day forecast, at the bottom of the screen, a lot of warm temperatures for the afternoon. so even though it starts out cool in morgan hill, we'll be at 51 degrees at 7:00. the warmup happens fast, and then by noon, we're at 73. 75 at 1:00 today. and if you're making plans around san ramon to go for a run, be mindful that it's chilly out there, only in the mid-40s, as you head out the door early, or maybe you're on your way to the gym. it will be in the low 70s, if you wait a little bit later this morning, and it's going to be a really pleasant day. as you get your hair styled this morning about to head out the

door, we will have some lower humidity later on today, so our humidity right now at about 77%, but overall looks like it will be another good hair day, and our highs reaching into the low 70s for palo alto. we'll see a high of 75 in san jose, and some upper 70s from morgan hill extending up through concord and our inland valleys will be in the upper 70s today, and the high pressure kind of nudging off to the west, just a little bit farther away from the bay area, but the winds circulating around that still give us a northerly wind flow, and some dry conditions throughout the week. we will see finally some changes, possibly happening through the middle of the month. look at that november 14th, we could start to see some rain moving a little bit closer to the bay area, but i still don't see any rain in our forecast. so we stay dry over the next seven days, and well above normal temperatures for most of us, about ten degrees warmer than normal, and then san francisco staying in the upper 60s all week long. now mike, the commute is a

little bit different this morning. >> folks got a little bit more sleep yesterday so they get excited, they come into work on monday early and there's an ease up and folks on the regular pattern kick in, so we saw for just about ten minutes an easier backup, and in fact, traffic getting lighter over at the bay bridge, just after qualif6:00 b 6:20, starting to get backed up again. you're not that early for work, your clock in the car probably didn't change yet. westbound highway 4 commute is building. we have that crash looks like it's over on the shoulder south 680 over at concord. there is a slower drive as well developing over here for this part of contra costa county, but it's a little bit holding off right here at 680, typically about this time we'd start to see the walnut creek interchange start to build, holding off about ten minutes so there's that sort of adjustment as the sunlight comes into the morning. folks enjoying a cup of coffee. smooth drive for the south bay, just a build for the northbound direction just starting to kick in now.

we have a crash reported in hayward. live look outside shows you san jose, the sun came up too quickly for me to adjust. traffic starting to build up northbound 101. there is the 680/280 interchange. you'll see sunglasses come down the peninsula, palo alto, san mateo. it's the sunrise slowdown kicking in earlier. back to you. >> thanks, mike. all new this morning, tell me what you want, what you really, really want. ♪ i wanna, i wanna, i really, really, want to -- ♪ >> we have news of the spice girls reunion tour. >> what? >> what? well, there is a catch. posh piece that might be missing. plus -- >> we're getting complaints about kanye west, not about his music, about his clothing line dropping the ball. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, "nbc bay area responds," next.

continuing coverage for you, this plan could be a solution for a troubling problem. rise in sexual assaults in santa clara county has led to the addition of a second clinic at stanford hospital. currently there's only one clinic operating where victims can have rape kits administered miles away at valley medical center in san jose. supporters of the new clinic say someone who has just endured sexual assault should not have to go so far. >> there is definitely a need for a rape kit exam location on campus. it's a great idea. we're happy it's moving forward. >> when plans were finally announced to open the clinic on the stanford campus, concerns were raised during a county supervisor's committee meeting. it's quarter to 7:00 right now. one day until the midterm elections. >> scott mcgrew, president trump calls it the second most important election ever. >> that's right, his being the first, of course, right? so tomorrow is the midterm election. get out there and vote. lots of california issues on the ballot. we have a voter's guide at nbcbayarea.com.

the president spent the weekend flying from rally to rally in red states. here he is in tennessee last night. where he stuck to his immigration theme, warning once again of what he says is the threat of the caravan. what the president has not said much about by comparison is the incredibly strong economy. on friday, we saw some of the best job numbers in decades and something polls show voters in key districts care most about. the president has also been criticized for a campaign ad that's not only factually incorrect, it comes across to many as racist. now, cnn has refused to run that ad. but nbc did air a shorter version of the ad last night during the green bay/new england football game. nbc is our parent company. we had nothing to do with the decision. nbc has not commented as to why chose do that. debra messing took to twitter and wrote "i want you to know

i'm ashamed my network aired this disgusting racist ad. it is the antithesis of everything i believe in and whey believe our show is about." brian kemp running for governor in georgia accused the democrats in that state of trying to hack the election. kemp is also secretary of state. that means he's in the election and he's in charge of the election. he made the allegation without offering any evidence. that's become a familiar refrain. news agencies will say, without evidence, like president trump says there are middle eastern terrorists in the caravan, without offering evidence. there's no proof that they're not making it up. we will continue to cover what's going on in the midterm elections. follow me on twitter, i' i'm @scottmcgrew.
