right now at 5:13 our microclimate weather alert continues. in antioch we're starting out with upper 50s. a slow climb in temperatures but we'll see also a lot of smoke continuing overhead. we'll talk more about this as well as la nina developing coming up in a few minutes. a much smaller fire, west 580, a high chair is on fire. i don't know anything other than that. no injuries reported and your commute is just fine. there is smoke, though, and fog. talking about that for your morning commute. mortgage rates have hit new lows. good news for buyers because the monthly payment goes down. good news for sellers because there are even more buyers out there chasing very, very few

homes for sale. mortgage rates on a 30-year fell to the lowest level ever recorded at 2.86%. here in the bay area that's not the whole story because we need jumbo mortgages. the kind of price you pay for a mansion anywhere else. still amazingly low. now one of the factors that has helped recently has been the relatively poor performance of the stock market. the math is complicated but when money comes out of the stock market a lot goes into securities and it helps push mortgage rates down. nasdaq down better than 2% yesterday though it's still up 20% for the year. citigroup says jane frazier will be its new ceo when its current steps down, the first woman in american history to run a major bank. the issue of the lack of women

in america's highest positions at america's biggest bank came up at a house subcommittee meeting last year when the heads of the major american banks answered questions from al green who asked a panel of ceos here among you think your successor might be a woman or person of color and nobody did. >> if you believe that your likely successor will be a woman or a person of color, would you kindly extend a hand into the air? >> frazier becomes the first woman, only the 31st woman to run a company in the fortune 500 and i believe she is the first immigrant to run a major american bank as well.

>> okay, definitely has the bruce springsteen feel. called "letter to you." it will hit shelves and start streaming on october 23rd. >> i agree with you. that's the first thing i heard, a classic sound for them, too. sounds really good. >> exactly. you know what, there's a letter you forecast, the unhealthy air quality. what we've seen on ground level anyway. a lighter wind and dense fog is cooling the smoke down so it makes it unhealthy out there for you this morning as we look at what we need to change this pattern. we've seen the systems that were

across parts of the rockies and now with high pressure to our north things are calming down and pushing down to the surface. what's coming our way is a needed change. the storm system approaching coming in from the pacific, and as it moves closer to the bay area that's going to bring in more of a westerly wind and a slight drop in temperatures. this may also bring in some rain further to the north. we're not expecting a lot of it here but also our marine layer will get much deeper, that means more fog and that could also mean some drizzle for our coastal areas. it looks like that will be a big improvement. at this point we're looking at all of our weather patterns thinking, okay, what else is coming our way? we've seen la nina, the cooling of water in the equatorial pacific. a moderate phase as we go into the upcoming winter.

a 75% chance that stays. we've had four moderate events in our history. usually we are looking at a little bit more rain than we normally see. we're looking at warmer than normal temperatures as we go into early next two to three months. as we look at our near-term forecast we're going to see temperatures in the low 70s. low 70s for the weekend and upper 80s as the winds shift, and hopefully our air quality improves. we'll be talking more about this like how is it looking for the early morning commute, mike? talking about the view, chp has concerns about that at the bay bridge. the golden gate bridge. our maps show why. the highlighted yellow around the bay and that's our lower

visibility. talking about the air quality, it may be causing more limited visibility. north bay, the peninsula side, san mateo county into santa clara county. that's a tough drive. looking across the bridge, folks traveling across the bay. you can see the drive in front of you just fine, but you cannot see the highrise in the distance because it is a little tougher to see at a longer distance. back to you. all right. thank you very much. it's 5:21 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay" nbc bay area responds. >> reporter: moving truck trouble? car key confusion and a daily delivery dispute. our team takes all sorts of consumer complaints. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, nbc bay area responds next.

but first, our team always on social media. take a look at this. kris sanchez posting this pic of her pandemic cooking, and i'm going to tell you it looks yummy. she wants you to know what she's cooking up. you can follow her on facebook, twitter, instagram. she's posting it, and we can all just dream of cooking like this, kris. we'll be right back.

names as they do every year, normal things like the reading those names. you notice there are no stages at the solemn event trying to strike the balance of being in a pandemic and continuing this memorial. those are actually prerecorded victims names. they're going to continue to stream this on friday morning as well as the memorial continues. victims' families are gathering there in person at the memorial, but they were cautioning all others to stay away just due to the pandemic. it's with heavy hearts, 19 years since, boy, they will certainly all remember here on "today in the bay" as well. my heart sinks just remembering this day. we'll continue to follow the memorials going on in new york city, of course. we know that subsequent attacks came upon the pentagon that day as well as in shanksville, pennsylvania. hard to believe it's been 19 years. it is 5:48 right now.

we'll continue to follow that. in the meantime we are moving on to the day's news as well, to decision 2020. today both front running presidential candidates will be at the same place during these 9/11 memorials. >> scott mcgrew, both biden and president trump will be in shanksville, pennsylvania. yes, the crash site of flight 93. this will be, of course, a day of remembrance for both candidates. back out to the pictures we have been admiring and watching. joe biden is at the ceremony there as is vice president pence. we have live pictures of the memorial where the twin towers used to stand. now biden is out on the campaign trail after today but not as much as they would to be very careful, take the debate in his words not to engage trump in

an argument. where trump wants him to go. instead he says he's going to be a fact checker for trump. now biden is ahead in the polls but has a tendency, much like the president, to say or do things that put him in a negative light, and the white house ready to pounce on that. on this day in 2016 hillary clinton's campaign took a literal stumble as she left those 9/11 ceremonies in new york, turned out she had pneumonia. her campaign was very reluctant, very late in telling the truth. i bring it up because the national review points out clinton had more campaign stops with pneumonia than biden has had in the first nine days of september, which is why you are more likely to see and hear from vice presidential candidate kamala harris. it's impossible to compare 2016 to 2020. we didn't have a pandemic in 2016. candidates are holding smaller

meetings and fewer campaign stops doing so with masks for the safety of the crowds. president trump lost a case in court to prohibit undocumented immigrants from being counted on the u.s. census. the constitution is pretty clear on this. just count all the people. the judges in the case, three of them, said they weren't even worried about that. the president overstepped his bounds in the first place. president trump continues to defend himself against what he said on tape that he intentionally down played risks of coronavirus. at a press conference yesterday trump said if bob woodward was so alarmed at what the president told him about the pandemic woodward should have alerted somebody who could do something about it. >> if bob woodward thought what i said was bad then he should have immediately, right after i said it, gone out to the authorities so they could prepare and let them know.

we're talking about the 9/11 memorials on twitter. so many first responders died in the years following. this webbing alone 5,337 americans have died from covid-19. you can follow me on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> thank you very much, scott. it's 5:52 right now. some breaking news we're following, an ominous sight in southern california. the glowing flames on the mountain range near pasadena. this is the bobcat fire exploding to 27,000 acres, yet another fire burning in california at the angeles national forest. and evacuation warnings are in place near the area. this fire is only 6% contained. >> wow. well, california's employment development department finally acknowledging what many suspected for weeks, fraud, likely the driving force in the state's suspicious spike
