i'm not telling anybody but you, i'm about to make a surprise visit. >> at 4:30 the president's surprise trip to see supporters outside his hospital. condemned by health experts as he battles covid-19. up next, the president's time line to get back to the white house. decision 2020. just 29 days to go until election day, but you can start voting today. we'll show you how. and wildfire fatigue. people in the north bay return to their homes, many are wondering if they can do this again. "today in the bay" starts right now. thanks so much for joining us on this monday morning. i'm kris sanchez. marcus washington kris

sanchez. i'm laura garcia. >> i think this happened the last time i was here. >> well, at least i'm home and i can go upstairs change. >> no, you look great. >> we'll get to the morning commute with mike in just a bit. good morning, kari. i hope you had a good weekend. i did, good morning. and we are going to have some improved air quality as we started to see yesterday, it was so nice to see a blue sky. for the north base that's not the case and the air quality remains unhealthy in the area of the glass fire. we're watching that smoke drifting into the east bay. elsewhere we're looking at some better air quality improving as we are seeing now a shift in the wind that's bringing in some slightly cooler temperatures highs in the 60s and 70s along the coastline. up to 92 in antioch today.

san jose will reach 85 degrees. we'll talk more about this and what's ahead as we could see some rain by the weekend. that's coming up in a few minutes. how is it looking in the commute? we'll have some changes. hopefully they're not big. it won't be all green like it is now. an easy flow. we see contra costa county. that highlighted yellow, an advisory across the golden gate bridge from the chp and a live look doesn't show you a backup but shows you the clouds drifting through the area. there's fog in the oakland hills as well. keep that in mind as we watch conditions change. the president's impromptu parade is causing a lot of concern for doctors all across the country because the

president has covid-19 and is highly contagious with it. they are raising questions about the drugs he's been given to fight off infection. almost immediately after video of president trump's ride in an suv caravan was posted of course doctors sounded off. a white house spokesman clarified the suv is hardened against a chemical attack so the public was safe but what about the people inside? >> the fact he puts himself in a hermetically sealed car with eight or ten secret service agents for the purpose of a joy ride or photo-op is irresponsible. >> he is unnecessarily endangering the lives of secret service agents who are there to protect him. >> doctors are raising red flags about what the president's medical team revealed during their briefing at walter reed hospital. the president suffered two drops in oxygen that his doctors decided were so serious they gave him aster owed called

dexamethasone. it can cause mood swings, confusion and even psychosis. the election rally actually begins today. ballots are being mailed out. people can vote in addition to mailing in their ballots. the deadline to register. we highlight issues in every single county. information voting by mail and ballot drop-off locations at nbcbayarea.com/electionguide. 4:34 and developing now deadly wildfires across the state have scorched more than 4 million acres making this the most land

burned in a single year ever. we know we have months ahead. king milestone over the weekend. the 4 million acres equates to land larger than the state of connecticut. lightning strikes caused some of those fires, and 31 people have died. there's still about two months remaining in the fire season, and this comes as crews work to put out the glass fire which is burning in napa, sonoma and lake counties. it has burned nearly 65,000 acres and is only 26% contained. more help is coming for victims of the glass fire. a local assistance center opens in santa rosa at maria carrillo high school. the hours on your screen, it's open through saturday. volunteers can help replacing documents, rebuilding information and starting that insurance claims process among other things. so let's take a peek outside early on this monday morning. the transamerica pyramid in san francisco on your left. a little bit of fog and san jose

a nice clear sky. a spare the air alert is in effect until tomorrow. however, i think we're noticing the air is starting to improve. how are we looking for today? >> it's still looking really nice for today. in fact, a little bit cooler -- we're starting out cooler this morning. now at 50 degrees in napa and santa rosa and 50 degrees in livermore. as we look at our wind speed and the direction we have more of a southerly wind to start out. today will turn westerly, southwesterly wind pushes smoke to the east. we are going to continue to see those improvements for the bay area except the glass fire we know is getting a little bit more containment but still it does continue to burn.

we will see our winds picking up for the afternoon but becoming lighter tonight. a look at the high temperatures for today with oakland reaching 76. we have some 80s for the south bay and some low 90s for concord and 92 today for ukiah. we'll get a look ahead to the rest of the forecast. that's coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking right now for the commute? well, kari, what we can see is that some folks won't see so well at the golden gate bridge. we talked about the fog as the chp warns. we have a camera right there. one of our many cameras around the bay. a smooth drive but not a smooth view here. just the glowing lights. take it easy across the span. it's not as bad as it sometimes get. the map extends pretty far north to the north bay along highway 10e at the ver zones and we con to follow that huge story up there with still those road closures. we still have highway 4 with a

crash westbound. you may have your fast lane affected. this crash happened about an hour ago but there's still activity on the chp report. still tracking the rest of the bay but nothing big so far. a little build out of the altamont. back to you. >> thank you, mike. getting back to work. still ahead on "today in the bay," the big issues the supreme court is set to take up today as it resumes its 2020 term. plus, all new delivery service bad bath and beyond is set to launch. you're watching "today in the bay."

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, as we start out this morning we are going to see our weather conditions around the area of the glass fire improving as we go throughout today. we're starting out with higher humidity and cooler temperatures. we're watching this as well as what's ahead as we try to get some more containment on the glass fire. more on that coming up in a few minutes. kari, the golden gate transit has had to make more cuts because of covid and reduction of riders. as we look at the 101 shot from san rafael, i'll note that line 25 and 56x are both now canceled off service. route 54 is getting a realignment. a live look in san jose shows you no problems 101 just north of 680 looks just great right

now. good morning. i'm seema mody at cnbc headquarters. wall street is set to open high they are morning as investors track president trump's response to treatment for covid-19 while also bracing for another volatile week with more uncertainty and questions ahead of the election day. analysts say the primary concern for markets revolves around president trump's health and how that could affect the outcome of the race and whether this provides a catalyst for house democrats in the white house to reach a deal of a stimulus package. friday stocks fell but ended off lows of the session after news of trump's diagnosis. coca-cola may drop some less popular versions of coke and diet coke. "the wall street journal" report includes a lower calorie with stevia. they plan to cut its product line in half. they are making fewer variety

and drinks in order to make demand for top brands. bed, bath and beyond is teaming up with shift to offer same-day delivery. you can choose that option when buying directly through bad, bath and beyond. the delivery is free on orders over $35. or can you pay on a per order basis. marcus and laura, back to you. >> thank you, seema. ready to reopen, the california county getting the green light to let more businesses resume indoor operations today. we'll show what you that means for you where you live. managing type 2 diabetes?

you're on it. staying fit and snacking light? yup, on it there too. you may think you're doing all you can to manage type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...but could your medication do more to lower your heart risk? jardiance can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. so, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. and it lowers a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration,

...genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare but life-threatening bacterial infection the perineum could oc. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction... ...and don't take it if you're on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. lower a1c and lower risk of a fatal heart attack? on it with jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. because when i get home, we like to play crocodile on the floor o-cedar easywring removes over 99% of bacteria, even with just water... easy and truly clean floors

o-cedar. it feels great to feel at home good morning to you. look at that mist hanging over the bay bridge toll plaza this morning. there is a fog advisory for some areas. if you're headed out to work, if you're not working from home with us, mike is tracking that. we're tracking the weather this morning. kari, nice to see that sign of cooler things. absolutely. i am loving this shot this morning that we have looking over san francisco. you can see the fog that's lingering over the city this morning just rolling by. it also provides some cooling as well as some higher humidity, and we need both. the visibility has been cut down to about a quarter mile in san francisco extending over to oakland and we're also seeing that happening in santa rosa as well. so watch out for that fog as you're heading out this morning

for work. as we go throughout the day our temperatures are going to be nice and comfortable to start but then warming up in some of our valleys once again. here we are at noon. if you're thinking about having lunch outside in oakland it's 70 degrees. it's 77 in san jose. 79 degrees in antioch. then as we go into the afternoon spots like santa rosa in the mid-80s. san francisco will stay in the 60s. you can see how much warmer it will be as you go down the peninsula and down to cooper tite cupertino with some 90s in the east bay. then as we go into the evening shortly before sunset we're going to see a nice cooldown dropping back to the 70s for much of the bay and then tonight we'll cool it off once again as that fog may extend farther inland. as we look at our five-day forecast for air quality, that's, of course, been a big question on everyone's minds. should i go outside for a long walk with this air quality? in the north bay the answer is no because we're still looking

at some thick smoke lingering over the north bay, the inland east bay is where we also see that smoke going but elsewhere we are seeing some improving air quality. and then as we go to the end of the week we'll be watching a couple weather systems. one is the weakening of a tropical system that was marie that could get drawn into an area of low pressure and enhance our chance of rain for the weekend starting friday and continuing into saturday. some of our models are showing the potential of getting some pretty decent amounts of rain especially for this time of year. we're talking mid-october and will see the possibility of getting at least a quarter inch of rain, maybe higher for the santa cruz mountains up to an inch of rain that would really help us out significantly for the air quality and more containment on the glass fire. we'll have cooler air coming along with that. we start out the week at 90 degrees. we can end it with some mid-70s. so, yes, some very good news here in the weather forecast.

mike, do you have any good news for the commute? yeah, mid-70s by the end of the week. that's your department. still, i'm happy about it. we'll show a smooth flow of traffic. there's a note, though. take a look westbound out of the altamont pass. we may see more traffic. so far it looks standard. the deal is i'm concerned about a little more traffic flow. we just got word from ace train. some sort of track issue, that will keep perhaps more folks on the roadway or they may not be coming into this morning. they may telecommute. we're looking at the possibility out of the altamont. so far everything is looking clear. watch the fog issue across the golden gate and throughout the north bay. back to you. all right, good to know. thank you, mike am happening today the supreme court resumes

its 2020 term. this as justices still continue to mourn the death of their colleague ruth bader ginsburg. they will carry on their work along with her likely successor amy coney barrett. barrett's nomination to the seat held for 27 years by ginsburg marks a potential turning point for the nation's judicial system. today the justices will also face a flurry of emergency petitions from democrats and republicans over the way mail-in ballots are distributed, delivered and counted. a southern california man is saying remdesivir saved his life. back in april he was one of the first people to test positive for covid-19 in san diego county. his symptoms were a high fever and difficulty breathing. when he got to the hospital doctors treated him with hydroxychloroquine but then immediately pulled him off to participate in a remdesivir iv

trial. the president's physician says president trump is also being treated with remdesivir. picket was in a ten-day trial in an attempt to save his life. >> it primarily reduced the viral overload in the body so it attacks the virus. it prevents it from replicating at the same rate it was doing before remdesivir. >> now the president is only on a five-day trial. as for picket, doctors say finally, six months later, he and his lungs have fully recovered. in southern california more reopenings are coming. this time long beach. starting today breweries, bars, pubs can all start serving outside if they partner with a food vendor much like we do here in the bay area. nail salons are getting the green light to resume indoor operations. long beach, even though it is in l.a. county, has its own separate health department that makes decisions independent of the county much like berkeley and alameda county. meantime the rest of orange county will remain in the red

tier for at least another two weeks. there is hope the downward trend in cases will continue and the county will be able to move into the orange tier by mid-october. 4:51 right now. up next on "today in the bay," a change in the nfl schedule due to new positive covid-19 cases. and the action the league is taking today to try to address concerns. and happening now one of the winners of the 2020 nobel peace prize for medicine is a native californian, dr. charles rice was born in sacramento, went to uc davis. he and two others won the prize for the discovery of the hepatitis c virus. the discovery helped find the cause of chronic hepatitis cases and helped make new medicines that save millions of lives. dr. rice currently works at rockefeller university in new york.
