or an allergic reaction... ...and don't take it if you're on dialysis omay of a fatal heart attack?s. on it with jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. she did test positive. i just heard about this. she tested positive. she's a hard worker. a lot of masks -- she wears masks a lot, but she tested positive. >> right now at 4:30, breaking news for you. the president, along with the first lady and, as you heard him talking about there mr. trump's top aide hope hicks all testing positive for the coronavirus. >> we are following all the late-breaking details as reaction pours in and more questions are raised as "today in the bay" starts right now. good friday morning. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington.

right now we want to get a look at what we can expect from that forecast today. >> reporter: well, we do still have the red flag warning that will be in effect as we go into later today an danger a big con as we can see the gusty winds continuing and low humidity at least until this afternoon. a heat advisory through 8:00 through much of the bay area. temperatures heading to the mid-80s, oakland, some mid-90s for the south bay, and up to 101 degrees for the inland east bay. i'm tracking all of this, of course, with a look ahead to the week. more on that coming up in a few minutes. mike has a look at that commute as you get ready to head out the door. we're tracking all of this, the closures in the fire zone, the glass fire. looking at the map we'll zoom into overnight during the 1:00 hour a deadly crash in petaluma

that closes highway 101. one person has died and another with major injuries closing the southbound side at north petaluma boulevard. i think you can get on lakeville street that will get you back on to southbound 101. that takes you on the western side of the outlet malls over there to give you a reference. we don't have a reopen time so, of course, we'll track that. the rest of the bay is free and clear. back to you. thank you very much. well, breaking news president trump says he and the first lady have tested positive for covid-19. we have a live look at the white house this morning. the president and first lady say they are quarantining there. mr. trump confirmed the news on twitter adding in part, quote, we will get through this together. the first lady tweeted a short time later saying, quote, we are feeling good, and i have postponed all upcoming

engagements. the news comes hours after we learn one of the president's top aides, hope hicks, tested positive for coronavirus. this is a list of over 20 people who may have been in contact with hicks in the 48 hours when she may have been contagious with covid-19. the list includes rudy giuliani, ivanka trump, jared kushner and others. the network of people who are possibly infected is almost unlimited. >> but hope hicks may be actually a super spreader, walking around in close proximity while she was sick -- if she had symptoms yesterday or the day before yesterday and has tested positive, she could have for the last two weeks before that been actually infected and asymptomatic but able to spread the coronavirus. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us now live with what we're hearing from mike pompeo.

>> reporter: good morning to you, laura. secretary of state mike pompeo spoke to reporters on a flight to croatia. he says that he and his wife susan were tested this morning for covid-19 and both came back negative. he says that they are praying for the president and the first lady. >> we're praying for the president and the first lady that they'll have a speedy recovery. i'm sorry, i'm trying to speak up a little bit. that they'll have a speedy recovery. we're taking this obviously very seriously and will do everything we can to keep everyone safe including you all. >> we all know that covid-19 can be anything from very minor to something so severe that you can't do anything. this is what we don't know and we won't know until we actually see the president. we don't know when we're going to see the president. we know there have been many times already during this administration when we haven't exactly been told everything. by the way, all you have to do is go back to the reagan

attempted assassination, his folks said there was hardly anything wrong and he was near death. >> reporter: that was nbc bay area political analyst larry gerst gerston. president trump's personal physician released a memo writing that he and the first lady are both well. will remain home at the white house and the president will continue without disruption while recovering. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. now to our other top story. firefighters are facing challenging conditions as they fight the glass fire overnight. the homes are still threatened and new evacuation orders are in place including alm areas of napa county north of calistoga between highway 128, the sonoma county line and highway 29. the 5% contained. six days into battling the fire

and strong, hot, and dry winds have returned making that fight that much more difficult. and with the firefight far from over, thousands of glass fire evacuees are on edge, many staying in hotels in napa valley. rooms really hard to get. debbie elliott is with her husband and dog. they live near the meadowood restaurant that burned to the ground. she is told her home is okay but is preparing for the worst. >> everything is okay at the moment but there could be spot fires. >> the families are isolating in their cars and picking up food. napa county officials say they have helped connect more than 1,700 people to hotel rooms. now they are awaiting the list for assistance as the county

turns to the state for more help. you know what, our website is a great resource right now because we update the evacuation orders and the check list on those items that you need to know if you are forced to leave your home. can you find all of that at nbcbayarea.com. meantime firefighters paid very close attention to the forecast and help them in their fight. what are we in for today, kari? we have been monitoring that as we do have the red flag warning that's in effect, and so we are seeing the winds in some of the upper elevations picking up. as far as our surface winds, we haven't seen a lot of those gusts so far we do see a very light wind right now and for, once again, we haven't had high gusts of wind but do have cool temperatures this morning. we're at 56 degrees in santa rosa and in napa but it's a little bit warmer as you head to the south bay. take a look at our current temperature in san jose.

67 degrees. and as we go into today our highs will reach once again back into the 90s for the south bay and down to the south county where it's 98 degrees. 98 in livermore. 94 today in napa. so i'll be watching that as well as that fire danger throughout the day. mike, right now how is it looking getting out the door? kari, overall things are smooth. we do have this deadly crash that happened overnight. there was a crash, a car fire closing southbound 101 what happened as a result in petaluma. as we look southbound 101 everything is closed. you're forced off the freeway at petaluma taking you past the outlets and on surface streets. getting back on around lakeville highway, lakeville street depending on what side of highway 101 you are. sounds like about 5:00 they're hoping investigators do arrive and then after that likely another half hour until they reopen. we'll follow that. the fire zone to the north of that crash circled over on the

east shore freeway. a disabled vehicle westbound 80 right around san pablo and everything else moving clear. back to you. this morning for you our team is staying on top of the breaking news coming out of the white house. how the stock market is already starting to respond to the news of president trump and the first lady testing positive for covid-19. plus, lurking below the water. the extremely close encounter for one southern california surfer. you're watching "today in the bay."

just between us, you know what's better than mopping? anything! at the end of a long day, it's the last thing i want to do. well i switched to swiffer wet jet and its awesome. it's an all-in-one so it's ready to go when i am. the cleaning solution actually breaks down dirt and grime. and the pad absorbs it deep inside. so, it prevents streaks and haze better than my old mop. plus, it's safe to use on all my floors, even wood. glad i got that off my chest and the day off my floor. try wet jet with a moneyback guarantee

right now at 4:41, we continue to watch the weather conditions around the glass fire and we are seeing a morning start at 65 degrees. so far a pretty calm wind and some relatively higher humidity compared to yesterday. we'll be watching this because it determines how fast that fire spreads and a look ahead to our weekend forecast coming up. that's one big north bay concern right now. i have a north bay concern for that deadly crash and closure for southbound highway 1 that's going on through petaluma, petaluma boulevard is your alternate. the fire zone outlined here as well as the bay bridge. the bay bridge is clear but we do have oakland road slowing you down 880 to 23rd. and good morning. i'm rahel solomon at cnbc headquarters. here are today's top business headlines. wall street is set to open lower. dow futures off about 420 off

the news the president and first lady have tested positive for covid-19. safe havens such as the dollar, japanese yen moved higher on the news. investors tend to flock to those during times of uncertainty. the president's diagnosis could cause a new wave of volatility as it may hurt his ability to campaign a month before the election. the full implications, however, are still unclear and would depend largely on his health and the response by voters. investors had already been on edge before this news, and that was on signs that a new fiscal stimulus package is stalled in washington. they're also awaiting the monthly jobs report in less than an hour at 8:30 eastern. for a new read on the economy, hiring is likely to have increased by 800,000 jobs in september, but that's a slowdown from august. markets are also concerned about rising virus cases in the u.s. and europe with the majority now becoming the first major global

capital to go back into lockdown in the coming days. marcus and laura, back to you. >> thank you. well, president trump testing positive for the coronavirus and those results may come as many people prepare to start heading to the polls. >> that's right. next on "today in the bay" when and where early voting will kick off here in the bay area. plus the changes you can expect. we'll be right back. 1 hey, my twitter is blowing up! dear jack box, bring back the spicy chicken strips,

and here we go on this friday morning for you, a live look out at downtown san jose, well, you can see not much in the background there because the air quality, smoke still lingering around the bay area. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect from this forecast today and, of course, kari, i'm hoping clearer skies. i know that's not necessarily the case. but it is friday. >> not today. but, you know, we will eventually have clear air again but just once again not today. as we take a look at this view it shows us the upper air pollution and all of the smoke that's been over the bay area, the bright white indicates where we are seeing the thickest of the smoke and so it's right over northern california, and so it hasn't really moved over the past day or so. so our air quality once again remaining a big issue for us, very unhealthy in parts of the

north bay. of course as the glass fire continues to burn and it's putting so much of the smoke and just think about all the things that are burning right now being forced into the air and then we'll also have unhealthy air quality for all of the rest of the bay area as we are not going to see many changes here. let's talk about the humidity because it's so important in how fast these fires will spread. we know that we have the red flag warning continuing for today and as we go into the afternoon relative humidity levels stay very low. looking at anything below 30% is critically dry. we have that but a slight increase as we go into tonight and as far as the wind speeds and wind direction we are seeing some of those higher winds in the upper elevations while the valleys are not experiencing much in the way of any high wind gusts. as we go into the afternoon a northwesterly wind is going to continue to bring in some very dry conditions and so winds only at about 15 to possibly 20 miles

per hour that will increase later this evening. here we are at 5:30 and we're seeing those winds picking up to about 25 miles per hour and then gradually starting to calm down tonight as well as tomorrow but a northerly wind will keep that smoke moving into the bay area. a look at the overall view of the weather pattern we are seeing the storm system approaching the pacific northwest moving through canada and that's the reason our winds are picking up quite a bit. and then as we go into next week we'll continue to watch a weakening tropical system. it's going to take a while but as it works its way across the parts of the pacific may increase our chances of some rain to the end of next week but we're in right now with this heat and very dry conditions today still looking at highs in the upper 90s. upper 80s and mid-80s by sunday. then look at the temperature trend for the end of next week. much cooler air coming in and

hopefully much better air quality, but we're also going to see our temperatures in san francisco warm today but coming down. more updates to come. mike, what's the update on the commute? kari, we'll start with the north bay where you can see really all this cluster of orange closure signs. that's the fire zone, angwin, we've talked about that. we continue to follow this. also in the north bay overnight is big news, the deadly crash rash and the investigation continues to close southbound 101 where traffic is diverted off the freeway at petaluma boulevard north. that takes you south. then you can get back on the freeway south at lakeville street. i believe the on ramp at washington is still closed for that investigation. now the investigators should arrive about now and then we don't know, wait for an update to see how long they're going to keep that closed and still have the closure north 880 at 23rd.

most of the lanes closed, one is open for the construction crew that will clear at 6:00. the rest is clear around the bay. back to you. all right. you know about this, mike. 880 from oakland to milpitas is getting a new addition. those express lanes will open today. solo drivers looking to use the new express lane must have that fastrak responder so they can pay the mandatory toll. car-poolers of three or more can ride free only if they have a fastrak flex tag. new for you that morning some elementary schools will be able to reopen for in-person instruction. they can return to class on october 13th. each school district will make the decision whether to return to in-person instruction. however, those schools are not required to reopen if they are not ready. schools must post a reopening plan on its website and it's not just schools we're talking about. restrictions are being lifted for several other sectors in

alameda county including hotels, museums, zoos, and aquariums. personal care services and gyms and fitness centers as well. election day just over a month away but the election really begins next week as ballots are being mailed out. san francisco voters who want to cast in person may do so under a massive test at the civic center starting monday. one of 588 locations in the city where people can vote. in addition to mailing their ballots a reminder the deadline to register to vote is october 19th roo. a new detail on blocking foreign workers, that the president overstepped his authority when he suspended visas back in june. that included h1b workers. the president said that move was to protect american jobs during the pandemic. it paves the way for tech companies and others to continue bringing workers from out of this country. developing again as you were sleeping, a swarm of small

earthquakes rattling the imperial valley. about 180 miles east of los angeles. the area is known as the zone and the usga has recorded hundreds of quakes including at least four more overnight. the quakes measuring 2.5 to 4.9 magnitude. >> take a look at this video right here. this is new video of a group of great white sharks in southern california almost having a close encounter with this surfer. so this video is taken at torrey pines state beach yesterday, you can see there that shark swimming and circling. at one point you can see three swimming in the water. marine biologists say these were three juvenile great whites and have migrated to central america to find warmer waters. i don't care how old they are. keep them away from me, laura. >> as long as they're away from us, you're right.

up next on "today in the bay" we're gearing up for halloween. the big changes made ahead of the holiday in sacramento. and what it could mean for parents right here in the bay area. plus, moving forward. what's next for oakland a's following the team's big win. happening now for you several movie theaters are reopening, pleasant hill, walnut creek and danville. and the amc in brentwood reopens tonight. they will have to wear masks unless they are eating and drinking. 4:54.

for bathroom odors that linger try febreze small spaces. just press firmly and it continuously eliminates odors in the air and on soft surfaces. for 45 days. i felt like i was justs little constantly cleaning up his hair. then, i got my paws on the swiffer sweeper... it's a game changer! these heavy duty dry cloths pick up a crazy amount of hair. this is all you. we stopped cleaning and started swiffering.

well, sacramento launching a

new health campaign to move up into the orange or the moderate tier. turn sacramento orange. they say that pushes to move up would help in two ways. first, a better handle on covid cases before thanksgiving and christmas when families will start getting together and to help the economy and struggling businesses reopen. if sacramento county moves into the orange tier that would mean stores, museums, zoos, can all open up to 50% capacity. gyms can increase to 25% capacity and bars can reopen outdoors. for covid reasons the a's are playing the next round of the playoffs at dodger stadium not against the dodgers, of course, but the astros as part of the baseball bubble. yesterday the a's wrapped things up at the coliseum. chad pender actually capped a comeback with a two-run single and the a's eliminate the white sox winning 6-4.

it's the first playoff series they won in 14 years. they will start a five-game series, as i just said, on monday. can't wait for that. >> i know. it's really nice to see. good for them. it is 4:57. coming up on "today in the bay," we continue to follow breaking news. live team coverage on the president and first lady's coronavirus diagnosis. our scott mcgrew is breaking down what we knew about vice president mike pence and his exposure.
