maverick" as honorary national aviators. naval aviators, i should say. the two are able to wear the official swings of gold. pretty cool. the first "top gun" film was released 35 years ago. the new movie is scheduled to premiere next summer. quite the honor. right now at 6:00, 15 days to go until decision day. >> this president cares more about his park avenue perspective on the world, the stock market, than he does about you. >> if i listened totally to the scientists we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression. >> well this week is packed for both candidates including one final debate. a live report from washington next including a last chance for covid stimulus before the election. cracking down on covid rule breakers. the one tool they are launching to do just that. and evicting renters against state law but it is still

happening. coming up new details on the surge of evictions in one bay area community as the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. good monday morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. mike is keeping track of the commute. first i want to start out with meteorologist kari hall with a look at the forecast, something to smile about this morning, kari. we're going to have great weather, a little cooler than we've seen recently as well as a mild week ahead. now one thing i'm watching will be the high fire danger as the strong offshore wind develops during several times this week, the first event starts tonight. we'll talk more about that as well as our temperatures in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. mike, as folks get ready to head out the door how is it looking for the drive? >> it looks like some of the folks may have already headed out the door early and eager for the monday morning. eager to get to the bay bridge toll plaza. the middle lanes have cleared up

already. the condensing of the commute as we look at the map really here for the last half hour starting to ease up still on the approach and at the bay bridge toll plaza and also in san jose we saw an early start from 101. it's starting to ease a bit right now. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. now to decision 2020. an important deadline. today is your last day in california to register online for the upcoming election and get a ballot in the mail. after that you can only register in person at an election office or polling location. >> with just 15 days until the election president trump and joe biden very busy. "today in the bay's" tracie potts also busy for us live in washington this morning tracking both campaigns and the new stimulus deadline. tracie? >> reporter: that means you may not get your check before the election. they are haggling over that in

washington. meantime the president is out west next door in nevada. he is going to be there -- he was there overnight. he is heading to arizona today. joe biden with a light schedule this week heading into thursday's debate. >> we're going to win the state of nevada. >> reporter: with 15 days to go president trump is defending his coronavirus response in battleground nevada. >> if i listened to the scientists we would have a country in a massive depression. >> reporter: joe biden in north carolina -- >> this president cares more about the park avenue perspective than he does about you. he refuses to follow the science. >> reporter: coronavirus cases are soaring. medical experts predict a tough winter. >> the next 6 to 12 weeks are going to be the darkest of the entire pandemic. >> reporter: america holding out for a vaccine. >> the first group of people won't be protected from the vaccine probably until february

and maybe march. that's a long way off. >> reporter: the trump campaign is defending the president's mostly maskless rallies. >> people don't want to be living in fear again in their basements. we're going to be strong. we're going to be safe, but we're not going to be scared here. >> reporter: meantime on capitol hill the clock is ticking on covid relief. house speaker nancy pelosi set a 48-hour deadline. >> the 48 only relates to if we want to get it done before the election, which we do. >> reporter: pelosi and steve mnuchin are at odds over money for states. they're set to meet again today. and they are also at odds over testing and tracing and how that will be done with pelosi saying the language she got back from the white house this weekend deleted a lot of what democrats wanted including money and programs to help black and brown communities disproportionately hit. cnbc reached out to the white house about this. we're wait to go hear back.

>> we know you will stay on top of that for us, tracie. thank you. here is a look for us at capitol hill also on the senate's agenda. the next step in the confirmation of amy coney barrett. the senate judiciary committee is expected to approve her nomination along party lines 12-10. at that point it moves to the full senate. johns hopkins university says there are more than 40 million cases worldwide. at least 1.1 million people have died. as bay area counties reopen, the reminder is always there that if covid spikes again restrictions go back into play. they are giving people another tool to help keep coronavirus at bay. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us this morning in san carlos with those details on a new tip line. kris?

>> reporter: our first line of defense is to wash our hands, keep our social distance, but now san mateo county is giving people the opportunity to report businesses that are not doing their part in doing that and even keeping sick employees home. san mateo county businesses especially the restaurants here are really desperate to get into that less restrictive orange tier before it gets cold because once it gets cold outdoor dining is probably going to be less appetizing. in order to make that move to a less restrictive tier, coronavirus cases have to be stable, hospitalizations, death rates also have to steady out, and that's why san mateo county is launching the covid tip line to report violators. >> we believe it's the tool to modify and change behavior. that's why we're moving forward with the team. >> reporter: starting today residents of san mateo county's

26 cities can report covid violations through 211 or through the county's website. those complaints will go to a multiagency team of investigators and depending on what they find repeat offenders could face fines of up to $3,000 and even misdemeanor prosecution. maybe it's a little early on a monday morning. would you report a business you saw in violation that would include mask requirements, distance requirements, and making sure their employees stay home if they are sick. in san carlos, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> wash your hands and mask up. thank you, kris. classes will remain mostly online for contra costa county colleges for the rest of the school year through the spring that includes three colleges, diablo valley college in pleasant hill, one in pittsburg and contra costa college in san pablo. some classes like labs will be held on campus.

a legal battle is now brewing between landlords and renters trying to make it in the bay in sonoma county. some landlords are now reportedly taking tenants to court to get them evicted after an eviction ban ended in august. "the press democrat" reports around 15,000 landlords are experiencing a backlog on rent checks. sometimes for months. the bill signed by the governor gives tenants some leeway allowing them to stretch 25% of their rent into next year. so far more than 50 eviction complaints have been filed by landlords. there's a new push to keep the great highway car free forever. since march the scenic drive has been closed to traffic to allow for more social distancing. a new initiative is centering around making the upper great highway between lincoln into a world class park with no cars allowed at all. some supporters fear that this could all just be a pipe dream because four different agencies

regulate that area. and, kari hall, you mentioned you were just in the area over the week taking advantage of the nice weather, no doubt. i was just there yesterday and it was so nice to not have to worry about cars and trying to dart across the great highway to get to the ocean. we have seen a lot of fog that was there yesterday. it's still hovering over the bay as we take a live look outside in san francisco. let's go around the bay checking out some of our high temperatures this afternoon reaching into the upper 80s in concord, san francisco will reach 71 degrees and napa today will have some warm weather a high of 83 degrees. now we are going to have to watch napa and a lot of the north bay for the potential of a high fire danger. all of these areas shaded in orange. it may be a high fire danger starting tonight as some strong winds from the north start to come in. so we'll talk more about that and what's ahead in the rest of the forecast coming up.

mike, how is it looking right now for the commute? kari, it looks like i found the reason why there was some slowing. we'll take a look at our san jose camera where we saw a different pattern. there was a set of headlights stuck in the center divide. it just cleared when i wasn't looking. looking at the map we see the speed sensors by the arrow, jammed up to about alum rock shy of where we saw the camera there. things start to speed up. the rest of the bay looks great including the bay bridge toll plaza. we have things starting to thin out a bit, still slow off the berkeley curve and the 880 overcrossing with metering lights on. back to you. all right. thanks so much. marcus, you'd better get me your christmas list fast because holiday shopping is already ramping up. the bulk of it is online. will those packages get to you on time? next what shipping companies are saying about possible delayed deliveries. meanwhile, it seems like we're paying our bills more

often. people's credit scores are getting better. let's take you out to the futures board. tracie was talking about the deadline on stimulus that seems to have wall street interested. the stimulus is coming. up next, how you can get on the "today" show. details from hoda herself up next. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:13 let's check out our air quality this morning as we go throughout the day, it's still going to be moderate in parts of the north bay as well as the south bay as we see those numbers just over the threshold of some good air quality. so it will be hazy today. i'm talking about this as well as our fire danger and temperatures for the rest of the week that's in the forecast coming up. holding steady at the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are on. the focus is folks coming off the nimitz as well as that berkeley curve and then further south the san mateo bridge, good volume. no problem, no delays, not yet. a smooth flow of traffic as clouds drift around. good morning. a happy monday. prosecutors say they've arrested a rapper for stealing more than a million dollars worth of

unemployment money and then they say he and another rapper made a music video called edd where they explained the whole plot. federal prosecutors say he was arrested in las vegas carrying seven california edd cards that were not in his name. the u.s. attorney's office says the suspect -- they suspect bains ordered at least 92 debit cards that had been preloaded with more than $1.2 million in fraudulently obtained benefits. while we're on the subject of benefits and help for americans who need it nancy pelosi has given the white house until the close of business tuesday. tracie was telling you about that. to agree on a stimulus proposal, or she says she cannot guarantee congress can pass one before the election. wall street very interested in what's happening there. "the wall street journal" was the first to notice oracle chairman larry ellison made a quarter million donation to a political action committee

supporting lindsey graham during negotiations with washington over tiktok. a document shows the donation. no allegation of wrongdoing. it's not clear what if any influence he had in trump's decision to demand it. american airlines says it will put the 737 max back into service once it's reamoved to fly by the faa. the airline says it will tell you ahead of time you'll be flying a 737 max. and people's credit scores are going up. part of that is we're all spending less money while we sit at home and paying down debt. plus there are benefits like stimulus checks paying down debt. many people are using the payment holiday on things like student loans which can save them hundreds of dollars a month. again, they used that, marcus and laura, to pay down debt.

we have a bronco in our family and i know our debt is a billion dollars, but it's nice we don't have to pay it each month. >> oh, yeah, i'm going to have three all at once in college. don't even get me started. >> thanks, scott. 6:17 for you this morning. weeks before the holiday shopping really ramps up retailers and shoppers are bracing for some shipping crisis. "the wall street journal" reporting that fedex, u.p.s. and smaller carriers are already turning customers away because they're stretched thin by the pandemic due to the spike in online shopping for everyday items leading to longer processing and delivery times. one couple forced to get creative with their wedding, pandemic restrictions meant the bride's family couldn't travel from maine into canada for their wedding so the couple got hitched on a pier which runs along the border. the groom's family watched from land and the bride's family

watched from onboard a boat. that's very creative. the "today" show's big halloween show is coming up and they're planning something fun and different this year. >> instead of us telling you about it, joining us from studio 1a hoda kotb with the special announcement. >> good morning, marcus and laura. thank you for letting us reveal some exclusive news we'll be sharing with viewers later this morning. you all know the halloween show is one of our favorites every year. but like everything else this year is going to look a little bit different. we're going to miss our plaza crowd. so here is what we're going to do, reaching out to viewers across the country to help us celebrate in a different way. all next week as we count down to our own halloween show we will fill our virtual plaza with people showing off their fanfare, their costumes, and we want to see the bay area represented. get your costumes ready. now hold on, there's more.

every day we're going to choose one person or group with the best costume to be part of our my today plaza on our halloween special show on friday, october 30th. be sure to sign up. get ready to celebrate halloween on "today." marcus and laura, let's get the party started. back to you two. ♪ let's get it started in here bay area, you heard that. let's get the costumes ready. we are always the best. >> that's right. got to represent out there on the plaza. you can find more information on nbcbayarea.com. perfect. let's get a look at the forecast, too. we're ready this monday morning, kari. monday morning and looking good. as we take a look outside, we'll see how our morning shapes up, in the upper 50s now. you can see our trend that will start out in the upper 50s and warm up as we head through the morning. by 11:00 we're at 73 degrees so

still plenty of time to enjoy out there before it heats up. let's go through our microclimates because we take you through lunch time. we'll be at 73 degrees in santa rosa. so lunch outside today. san jose will also be in the upper 70s and we'll see some 70s for the tri-valley but then as we go into today, this is when the temperatures start to spread out, we can see mid-60s in half moon bay while it will be in the mid-80s in livermore, and we're at 86 degrees in fairfield during the warmest time in the afternoon. later on this evening temperatures start to drop back. this is also when the winds will start to pick up and i'll have the concern of a high fire danger for all of these areas shaded in orange in the north bay. this is mostly our hills and mountains above 1,000 feet. and we're looking at a wind that will increase with the potential of gusts up to 45 miles per hour. some of our sustained winds will be at about 10 to 25 miles per hour. you have that coming along with

some very low humidity and not coming up very much for tonight. high pressure is building and keeping the rain well to the north of us. as we go into the end of the week it looks like as the storm system passes by we're going to get some of those winds rushing through and that will again elevate our fire danger. we will have several days this week where we'll have some gusty winds, but then by the weekend it starts to cool off. low 90s by tomorrow. i'm looking forward to the weekend. once we get past the fire danger, if we can do so safely, we'll have a nice weekend ahead as our high temperatures in the valleys drop back to the upper 70s, even some mid-70s by saturday and sunday. mike, you've been watching the roads. anything new popping up? things are changing. we talked about today's commute getting started earlier and easing earlier.

we do have the backups still with the metering lanes on. maybe a second burst as we approach 630 which is not uncommon. the map shows you more slowing up the incline and those metering lights still doing their job keeping things moving smoothly on the span. the approach looks great coming through the north bay, across the golden gate bridge or through contra costa county. no major problems. the little slowing north 101 looks like it did clear and no problems for the tri-valley. 87, we'll look downtown. details come up, back to you. it is 6:22. demanding to talk to the president. next on "today in the bay," the extreme measures one man went to just to get president trump's ear. and what he ultimately came up short. plus, businesses go to court as they fight to stay open during the pandemic as health

experts argue action must be taken now. it's 6:22 for you. you're watching "today in the bay."

welcome back. 6:25. happening now for you in chicago, one man in custody now for his unusual stunt off the side of trump tower. so that's where officers waited him out for 13 hours as he dangled on a rope threatening to jump unless he was allowed to talk to president trump.

a negotiator prevailed as overnight the man climbed back up on to the balcony where he was arrested. well, despite recent record numbers of covid cases in wisconsin, bar and restaurant owners there are actually suing the state over new restrictions on indoor sitting limitations. a judge just last week blocked the governor's office to enact the limits citing with tavern owners who say it would hurt business. one harvard expert agrees with them. >> my biggest concern about wisconsin right now the cases are going up, hospitalizations are going up, deaths are going up and yet the policy changes are still not quite in place. >> the battle comes as the state this week plans to open a field hospital at the state fair grounds. 6:26. take a look at the video in. a bear treating himself to a

feast of a southern california camp site, just a few feet from the tent. it all happened over the weekend up in mammoth lake. the family had just unloaded their car, were relaxing in the tent and somebody said there's a bear coming. just knocked over the cooler, made itself at home, taking some food. the family says the bear came back for seconds and thirds. i guess they had some great steaks and sausage so, yeah, you know, you have good eats, you come back to the table. next for you here on "today in the bay," the top stories we're following. no mask, no problems. what an all-new report is revealing about bay area counties and safety fines. plus -- >> reporter: and i'm cierra johnson in san francisco. coming up, we'll break down the fire watch as well as some new information we warned about pg&e and last year's psps shutoffs. you're watching "today in the bay." it's not easy now with this pandemic. second harvest makes me really really happy. meatballs, mexican rice, chicken enchiladas, and mole. for almost twenty years. *speaking in spanish

right now at 6:30, enjoy the cooling temperatures but it will be short-lived. high fire danger returning to the bay area and we're tracking it hour by hour to get you ready. the third hour of "today in the bay" continues now. and a good morning to you. thanks for joining us this morning on this monday morning. i'm marcus washington. and i'm laura garcia. we'll check in with mike but let's get the forecast with meteorologist kari hall. it's looking pretty good for today. we're starting out with some

coastal fog and it will be a touch cooler as a result but then as we go into the week a mild week but we also have the concern of a high fire danger especially in the north bay once the winds pick up. we'll talk about that and a cooler week heading our way. mike, how is it looking now for the commute? looking good, kari, i want to start in the south bay. we'll show you the map full screen. for highway 87 it's downtown. the santa clara exit where the crash is on the shoulder. chp has been waved off. no one is hurt and no slowing. in the bay a nice drive. we have mild slowing for 84 cutting through livermore and to sunol and really that's it except for the bay bridge toll plaza. slower sensors. the live shot shows you the shift from the middle lanes but they are moving better the last five minutes as well.

thanks so much, mike. pg&e is facing new heat for its power shutoffs and it comes as the north bay braces for a new round of high fire danger. >> "today in the bay's" cierra i johnson with a look at areas on high alert this week. >> reporter: as kari alluded to, the north bay once again in the watch zone because of the high temperatures and the high winds, specifically sonoma and napa counties. those communities that are impacted could see winds as high as 40 miles an hour. as we see in the past it's the wind and temperatures that could be that recipe for disaster. as i mentioned this all coming as we learn new information about pg&e and those mandatory shutoffs. if you recall last year 2 million customers in northern california were hit with the psps and many complained they went on too long and felt

unorganized. the associated press is reporting the managers in charge of the shutoffs did not have the proper emergency training. that training crucial in having an organized system so some good news. we are learning that pg&e has implemented that training, so hundreds of those employees are now certified correctly and as you see the last couple of weeks we have had those shutoffs. as pg&e promised they have been shorter and smarter. so some changes have happened but last year things were not going as planned. again, folks in napa and sonoma county, keep your eyes peel. you are under that watch. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thank you. developing for you right now the criminal trial gets under way in sacramento for the accused norcal rapist. in 2018 rory waller was arrested near his work place in berkeley. the benicia man accused of a string of sexual attacks of women between 1991 and 2006 in several counties. investigators say that he was

identified through dna technology. and today sfpd will hold a virtual town hall in response to a recent deadly police shooting. this happened earlier this month. officers are trying to detain a carjacking suspect they say was armed with a knife. it was recorded on body camera video and the aftermath. the town hall starts at 3:00 p.m. when it comes to cracking down on people who are not wearing masks, even finding te them is just talk. that's the conclusion from "the chronicle" that asked counties how often people are being fined. just about every county said most people are wearing masks but it's probably not worth the risk to law enforcement officers to cite people ignoring the orders. instead free masks are provided. fines issued to businesses

ignoring county health orders. ac transit is announcing additional changes you'll see all due to covid-19. buses have all been outfitted with protective shields around the drivers now and they've added hand sanitizer dispensers. fare collection and front door boarding will resume today. when restrictions went into place you had to board from the back of the bus with no fare collection at all. they were trying to help with exposure and social distancing. jimmy g and the niners all good right now. they prevailed in their showdown with the l.a. rams. so right here on nbc bay area sunday night football, garoppolo threw for three touchdowns including a fourth down pass to george kittle that went for a 44-yard supreme court. they beat the rams 24-16. jimmy g talking about how he had

to prove those doubters wrong. >> it was a different mind-set than i've ever had. the last couple weeks before this, no one likes that feeling. it wasn't who we are as a team and i think this week got us back on track. >> up next for the niners, 3-3, they're going to go to new england to take on cam newton and the patriots. >> yeah, they're 3-3. you have the football, itch the baseball. fans got to see two game sevens on two straight nights to determine the world series. the big one last night in texas the dodgers won the nlcs with a seventh inning home run by cody bellinger. the dodgers face the tampa bay rays in the world series now. >> yep, their fans are excited. the dodgers have one more series to go. they were celebrating in l.a. the first game of the world

series takes place tomorrow night. up next, questions mount over what exactly a spy plane was doing over protests in northern california. plus -- >> reporter: the general election just over two weeks away. an important registration deadline you need to be aware of. in fact it's two weeks and one day. we'll have the latest from the campaign trail. out to the big board. the dow is up mildly on some hope of there being a stimulus talk. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:39 we have such a beautiful sun rise. time to get up and get moving in the south bay as we take a look outside in san jose. temperatures are heating up quickly. in the middle of the afternoon 82 degrees and a pretty big cooldown around sunset. we'll talk about this, our fire danger, and the weekend forecast coming up next. i've been watching north 101. there we see brakes tapping, folks stopping in the middle lane. i can't see what the details are. chp doesn't have much info. you see the slowing here and a look at the golden gate bridge. you can't see well because of the fog. a little denser fog at the north

side. i'll show you more coming up. 6:40 right now. to decision 2020. it does not look like washington will pass a new stimulus bill before election day. >> scott mcgrew, nancy pelosi has given the president a 48-hour deadline. >> that's right. and that expires close of business on tuesday. beyond that she says she cannot guarantee that congress will be able to pass a stimulus bill before election day. "the washington post" points out that president trump and speaker pelosi have not spoken in person or by phone since october 16th of 2019 meaning it's been more than a year since the head of the executive and head of the house of representatives have talked directly. president trump continues his whirlwind tour as he stumps for re-election. he was in michigan where he criticized the governor there. you may recall a band of men were caught by the fbi planning to kidnap governor gretchen

whitm whitmer. >> what you're doing in michigan has been amazing. you have to get your governor to open up your state, okay? >> now it should be noted the governor's restrictions have largely been vacated by a court and health restrictions are very similar to other states like limiting crowds in gyms. at one point the crowd chanted lock her up, referring, we presume, to whitner. the governor responded on "meet the press." >> it's incredibly disturbing that the president of the united states ten days after a plot to kick me out, put me on trial and execute me, ten days after that was discovered, the president is at it again, inspiring and incentivizing and inciting this kind of domestic terrorism. it is wrong. >> president trump also traveled to nevada staking a loss to hillary clinton in 2016.

he'll spend the night there, travel to arizona this afternoon. arizona is usually dependably a red state. the polls are closer than he would like. the former vice president prepares for nashville. on friday the president was in georgia, a state that traditionally goes to republicans in a presidential race. iowa and even texas are closer than anyone expected mepg t eeee president had to play defense there. we're watching everything that is happening, of course including those stimulus talks. we're talking about it on twitter. you can find me there @scott mcgrew. such a busy time. just 15 days until the election. today is the last day to

register to vote by mail. >> bob redell is live in livermore with what you need to know. bob? >> reporter: if you want a mail-in ballot you must register online or send in your registration and have it postmarked no later than today. once you have done that the recommendation tr registrar will send your ballot to your home. you can also send it back in the mail as long as your ballot is postmarked by november 3rd and arrives no later than 17 days after the election. if you are already a registered voter, you do not have to apply for a mail-in ballot, you were automatically sent one, you can also register to vote in person at your polling station on election day. keep in mind there could be long lines due to covid. san franciscans have mailed in about 100,000 ballots and

hand-delivered fore roughly 22,000. an estimated 23% of all registered voters in the city have already cast their ballot which the department of elections says is, quote, really good. >> it's the most important election in my lifetime, and i've been around a long time. >> reporter: if you need to check your status astac simple a qr code. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, bob, thank you. developing for you right now a wanted man facing charges after barricading himself on the lot of paramount studios in hollywood. listen to this. it all started when police were trying to take a sexual assault suspect into custody, trying to

tase him. at some point the officers shot at the suspect but he then ran away, barricading himself inside one of the buildings at paramount. officers arrested the man overnight. >> governor newsom is responding to an "l.a. times" report saying a spy plane was used to monitor the neighborhood where the head of the national guard lives. "the times" says it happened during the george floyd protest and a similar thing was done in three other cities. minneapolis, washington, d.c., and phoenix. the rallies were relatively peaceful. the sheriff's office requested the surveillance and the governor says changes have since been made. the head of the guard major general david baldwin tells the "l.a. times" the location of his home had nothing to do with the deployment. new for you this morning human rights groups are raising questions following an "l.a.

times" report on abusive incidents at california's four privately run i.c.e. detention centers. since 2017 that report cites that at least 265 calls to police reporting violence and abuse at the four facilities. about half have been sex crimes. in only three cases did records show someone being charged. i.c.e. tells "the times" it is committed to promoting safety and has zero tolerance for abuse. the state has ordered all four private facilities to close within eight years' time. new this morning an uptick in gun sales during the pandemic. a new study by uc davis researchers finds since july around 110,000 new firearms were purchased. more than half of buyers already owned a gun. about three-fourths say they were worried about lawlessness and higher numbers of inmates

released. not changing just yet, that's what los angeles public health leaders are saying after an uptick in covid cases. more than 350 new cases were reported over the weekend. hospitalizations increased for the second straight day after a drop below 700. right now l.a. county is in the purple and the most restrictive tier. that move to the red tier of cases needs to drop around 700 daily. san francisco's missing lemur made headlines around the world last week. we talked about it here on "today in the bay." they also talked about it and got good laughs on "saturday night live" this weekend. >> police reported that someone stole a 21-year-old ring-tailed lemur from the san francisco zoo. and for reference, this is what a 21-year-old ring-tailed lemur looks like. >> if you don't recognize that's

the actor who was in last year's award winning film "call me by your name" and is the star of an upcoming movie. next saturday adele will host "saturday night live" with musical guest, the bay area's own, h.e.r. dwayne "the rock" johnson sent a special gift to a special fan, two bottles of tequila from his own brand to a woman celebrating her 101st birthday. and he also playfully reminded her to sip the booze and not drink it in shots. she was probably like, baby, i've got this. i've done this for many years. >> i think she was blowing him kisses at the end, too. >> i know, hey. 101, why not? >> whatever the secret, whatever it takes.

>> she can legally drink now, 101. >> she can do whatever she wants. let's check in with kari. she has some numbers. a little warm-up, cooldown. we're up and down this week, huh? >> yeah, and it just depends on where you are. let's take a look at this nice cool shot that we have of the fog rolling over the golden gate bridge. that is so gorgeous as the sun rises this morning. we've seen a shallow layer of fog returning yesterday and that helps to cool off the coastline but the inland areas still hot and we'll see the same thing again today. let's check out our high temperatures first heading to the south bay with downtown san jose reaching 82 degrees. we're going to see a high of 88 degrees in morgan hill and more 80s for much of the inland east bay reaching 86 in pleasanton. 85 in vallejo and in oakland today a high in the mid-70s so it's going to be comfortable there. cool in half moon bay with a lot more of that fog while palo alto will see the temperatures

reaching back to 80 degrees. in san francisco mostly 60 but a few spots reaching into the low 70s and for the north bay highs anywhere from 81 in mill valley to about 89 degrees in ukiah. we'll be watching the north bay because by tonight the winds will start to pick up. and for all of these areas shaded in orange, our hills and mountains above 1,000 feet. we will start to have a northerly wind increasing that could dry out more of those fuels and increase our fire danger as well. some of those gusts may reach up to 45 miles an hour and then we'll see some of those sustained winds reaching up to about 20 to 30 miles per hour. as we go through the wind speed forecast going into this evening we're once again looking at a northerly wind mostly about 15 to 20 miles per hour, maybe a little bit higher at times. as you go up in elevation those winds will be gusting and here is what's going on. we have high pressure set up to our west and then as we go into the week a couple of storm systems passing by the north will make it really windy here and that gives us that elevated

fire danger, the breezy hills and then by the weekend it does start to cool off as another storm system dips further to the south and a shift in the wind will be likely. so this is the way it looks in our temperatures. we're starting out with upper 80s and low 90s for the inland areas. as we go to the end of the week though it will be windy we're not going to see a huge spike in temperatures but still a fire danger. by the weekend we're looking at highs in the mid-70s so make some plans to get outside. it's going to be definitely cooler. as we head over to you, mike, any updates on what's going on with the traffic this morning? you showed 101. a beautiful shot of the fog across the span. over here in san jose we are not so beautiful shot but it is better than two minutes ago where traffic was stacking up in the fast lane. things are moving much more quickly. the map shows you recovery. there is as a result of that backup a slowing on the approach
