good morning. it is sunday, november 1st. we wake up to a new month and a live look outside on this chilly morning in downtown san jose. hopefully you got to enjoy one more hour of sleep as you set your clocks back one hour last night. thanks so much for starting your sunday with us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana joins with us a look at your microclimate forecast. i already changed my oven, my microwave and my car clock so my sons and husband wouldn't be confused when they woke up this morning. >> good job, kira.

i have not. i have not done that yet. but today i was in the mood to be extra with my november fall sweater. here i am inside and it's going to be warm outside. i wish my outfit matched what the weather was going to be like in the afternoon. to be quite honest, it will not feel like november today. for the most part you'll get to enjoy these crisp temperatures early in the morning. it's about 56 degrees in san francisco. take a look at this beautiful view over san jose, 48 degrees. but by the afternoon we're going to be warming up into the 80s again for the interior slightly warmer than yesterday. san francisco upper 70s. and then a look at our headlines. a dry day for election day, which is great, and warm up into the middle of the week. you see rain chances return. i will go into more detail on my full forecast. kira, back to you.

>> we'll see you in about 15, thanks. did you see that full moon last night? halloween was very different this year. parents navigating how to continue traditions while balancing it with being covid safe. here's scott budman. >> reporter: halloween during the time of covid meant getting a little extra creative. >> i think this is the safest way we can do it. >> giving kids who came out to trick-or-treat in san jose a wicked time from a distance. >> six feet down, no contact. we have gloves and hopefully we have a good turnout. >> and the kids came even if they didn't come to the front door. >> it's very weird, but we are very lucky to have family nearby and people we know are safe and practicing safely. >> reporter: on a night

everything seemed upside-down because of the pandemic, it still works and kids still got their candy. >> it keeps it safe for the kids and for the residents because we don't have that close, personal contact with each other. >> reporter: one more nod to modern times, instead of a giant witch overlooking everything, check out what this house has, a plague doctor in the 17th and 18th centuries. they had beak like masks filled with everything they thought would protect them from the plagues of the day. welcome to halloween 2020. scott budman, nbc bay area news. we are just two days away from election day. more than 91 million americans already have cast their ballots, more than two-thirds of the total ballots cast in the 2016 election. as we told you yesterday morning president trump and former vice

president joe biden are making their last ditch efforts, hitting crucial battleground states. yesterday the president was in pennsylvania while joe biden was in michigan. president trump was delivering his final push with four stops in the keystone state and his focus is keeping supporters fired up. the president continued to express his mistrust about election results and the wait for those results. as he delivered a stunning rebuke of the supreme court that he helped shape, this after the court decided that in pennsylvania's case the commonwealth gets three days beyond election day to count all the mail-in ballots. >> of course now that our united states supreme court has delayed everything, a very interesting evening, and i wonder what happens during that perpd of io delay with the ballots. i wonder what happens. >> pennsylvania holds 20 electoral college votes.

president obama and his vice president were together again in person for the first time this campaign season. their reunion was aimed at boosting support among black voters. they criticized president trump for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. joe biden saying he's keeping a hopeful outlook in this final stretch. >> what is the general mood between you and your advisers? >> very good. very high. we're hopeful. very hopeful. >> biden heads to pennsylvania where president trump was yesterday today. he will hold two campaign events in philadelphia. of course this is the final weekend before election polls close tuesday at 8:00 p.m. voters across the bay area continue to turn out to make sure their voices are heard. "today in the bay's" sergio quintana was in san francisco where an early voting election tent has been set up for nearly a month, but the pace of people coming in is finally picking up. >> reporter: the close of

business at san francisco's early voting station means there are now only three voting days left in the 2020 election cycle. the ongoing coronavirus pandemic means lots of people are having to change up their voting routines. >> i always vote in person on election day, but this year it's a little bit more important to get my vote in early. >> reporter: at chase center red boxes were all set up for people to drop off their ballots this is part of an unprecedented effort by pro sports teams to open up their arenas as voting sites. >> i think it's great that so many people are voting and we're obviously trying to give everyone as best access as possible to make voting as easy as possible. >> reporter: warriors head coach steve kerr was among those who lined up to deposit a completed ballot in the official drop boxes. so far there's a record turnout of early voters. in california more than 9.4 million people have cast their ballots, which is already about two-thirds of the number who voted in 2016. at that rate it could be a

record high voter turnout in the golden state and the bay area's most populous county, they opened 100 early voting sites this weekend, one of those sites is levi's stadium. >> it doesn't matter where you live in the county, you can go to any vote center and they'll have a ballot customized for you if you don't have your ballot. if you are not registered to vote and you want to vote you can do that at the same time. >> reporter: oakland arena is one of 100 early voting sites open in alameda county. jennifer decided she wanted to vote in person and brought her brother along with her. >> he was not going to vote. he was going to stay at home. i was like, let's go. let's do it together. >> reporter: on tuesday, election day, all the polls will close at 8:00 p.m. sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. there is an interactive

feature on vta app. you open your app, zoom in on a location. a check mark will appear. you touch the check mark and then directions on how to get there using vta will show up. americans are turning out in record numbers this election. take a look nationwide. i believe the count is up now 81 million ballots cast but now at 91 million up more than 100% from this time in 2016. you see the breakdown here. 61 of those ballots were mailed in. 39% were cast in person. here in california more than 9.3 million people already have voted. that's up 128% over the last presidential election. remember, this year california did mail ballots to every registered voter. that probably explains why more

people have voted by mail than in person. 79% by mail. 21% in person. let's zero in on the bay area now. this map shows the percentage that have already come in per county. sonoma county, san mateo, contra costa and san francisco counties have seen more than 50% returned so far, even higher for marin county where 62% of ballots already have been returned. we have been proud of those numbers. if you see any problems dropping off your ballot head to nbcbayarea.com or tweet us using the #weinvestigate. and we do have much more ahead on "today in the bay." we take you live to our weekly conversation with chuck todd who has a preview of this week's "meet the press." one more thing for uc berkeley students to do, what they're required before tomorrow if they want to return to campus.

welcome back. we now bring in chuck todd,

moderator of "meet the press." as always, thank you for joining us this morning. i can't believe we are finally here two days away from election day. i feel like we've been talking about this for months, years, decades. i do want to talk about that but i feel like i need to ask you about the new stimulus package that's not happening and not helping any economic recovery as we get into the final hours before the election. which party do you think it will hurt the most, which candidate, that they haven't passed another recovery bill? >> i think if the mind of the virus is on a voter, that is a bad -- likely to be a bad vote for the republicans. overall we see in our polling that if you are more focused on the virus, just the handle of the virus, you're voting for joe biden, you're likely voting

democrat overall. if you're more concerned about the economic ramifications of the virus and the lockdowns, you're a donald trump supporter and we show that concern is very narrow. what's interesting 41-39. we've seen a shift in independent voters, really believe the virus needs to be focused on more so than the economy which then leaves you who gets that blame this is where republicans on the ballot are nervous they didn't get the relief bill before the election. and then this chatter they may not do one in the lame duck. i will say this, if democrats sweep on tuesday, i promise you, you'll see a very big lame duck covid relief bill probably before christmas. >> wow. that is a prediction indeed. and regarding the potential of democrats sweeping of republicans keeping their strong hold, we've heard about all the votes that matter, right, the gender gap, the youth vote,

energized seniors, other groups that have come out this year. which group or groups do you think are likely to help either candidate to victory? >> i think the most important shift is what we've been seeing with seniors . if that shift is what we see on election day -- first off, seniors vote. you talk about the young vote if it shows up is a big advantage for joe biden. look, young voters, they're more transient. they just vote less frequently. older voters, particularly voters over 65, they vote. they always vote. so you shift a point or two among seniors and you shift a whole much bigger piece of your pie of total overall votes. that, to me, has been the biggest shift, i think the most important one. let's be frank here, joe biden has not given the african-american turnout he needs in some of these states,

is not getting the latino support. he's doing better with older white voters than hillary clinton was. i think it's the single most important of all of these groups we've been tracking. >> i think you're right. i don't know who my mother voted for but she is older than 65 and has not left the house much since march, and she already voted. so, chuck, you are on to something there. thanks, chuck, as always for your insight. i pray we have some sort of result when we see chuck again in a week from now. be sure to join chuck for this morning's "meet the press." he'll check in with our correspondents and reporters, florida, georgia, north carolina and pennsylvania, plus he has the results of a brand-new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll that came out this morning. tune in to "meet the press" right after this newscast. we hope you stick here because coming up in about 30 minutes from now, our election coverage continues, our bay area focused election coverage. we'll talk to our little analyst larry gerston for our weekly segment.

turning now to our coverage of the covid-19 pandemic with cases soaring. hospitals struggling to keep up with demand, several european nations are now reimposing coronavirus lockdowns and england is one of them. the uk has hit 1 million covid-19 cases. british prime minister boris johnson issued a lockdown. it starts thursday and doesn't end until november 2nd. bars and restaurants can only offer takeout. nonessential shops must close and people will only be able to leave home for particular reasons. >> less restrictive but i'm afraid from thursday the basic message is the same. stay at home. protect the nhs and save lives. >> the new restrictions would apply only to england, wales and northern ireland already are in lockdown. scott land is under a set of tough regional restrictions. here locally the pandemic in

the u.s. has hit nearly 100,000 infections on friday. the surge in covid coinciding with the arrival of halloween, deep concern about campus activity, football games, rivalry games, possible parties, experts now say halloween could be the newest super spreading event. so we'll have to see in about a week from now. taking a look at the bay area where cases continue to climb, santa clara county added the most confirmed cases with 121 at last count. contra costa and alameda county both added more than 100 cases. san francisco, which paused its reopening plans, added 79 cases. and students and staff at uc berkeley now have one more thing to do by tomorrow. they must get a flu shot. all students and staff members must get the shot before tomorrow unless they have a

medical exemption. uc already requires vaccinations against measles, tetanus, chicken pox. they say they added the flu shot requirement to reduce the burden on health leaders on campus who already are fighting covid-19. and as we've been discussing halloween this year was not only different because of the pandemic but also because of the rare blue moon known as the hunter moon. check out this time lapse of the moon rising over san jose. a blue moon, of course, means it's the second full moon in a single month. let's check in now to see vianey arana for a look at our microclimate forecast. you told us about the blue moon. we were talking about the time change. it's already november 1st. it's really cold this morning. you say it's going to be hot today. there's a lot going on. >> yeah, it's going to be one of those california days where you need layers because it starts out chilly, you're thinking, okay, today is the day i get to rock my fall wear and then by

noon it warms up into the 70s and then in the afternoon we're in the 80s, kira. hey, layer up. 47 degrees in walnut creek. a beautiful view there. it will be a little hazy at times yet again today. so san jose 48 degrees right now. and, again, if you got great shots of the full moon last night please feel free to send them to me and i'll give you a shout out. let's talk about your microclimate highs. it will be a warm day. we'll be in the 70s around the coastline including san francisco with a predicted high 76 degrees. take a look down to the south bay and in through the interior valleys, in the mid-80s, 835 this concord. 83 in napa. definitely not very november-like, and we're going to get a couple of coastal clouds, a couple of high clouds rolling through here. however, even though it will be comfortable when it comes to the temperatures around the coastline, it's not going to be a great day to head to the

beach. it's actually going to be rather dangerous. a beach hazard statement in effect due to dangerous waves and the possibility of seeing pretty strong rip currents. that will be in effect through the entire coastline and the bay area. please be careful if you do head over there. it's going to be sunny and nice. never turn your back to a wave. that's where you can easily get caught up. as far as your air quality forecast, dealing with moderate air quality from the north bay down through the south bay. overall pretty good. remember, i talked about that haze. there's still a couple of active fires burning that could drift smoke near the central california area in our direction but we don't expect any winds for today. i think we're going to have an overall lovely sunday at least for the first november. we have a couple of changes ahead, and i want to talk to you about what we're expecting. election day is on tuesday, november 3rd, and it will be dry and sunny for election day. so that's great. there's no weather to get in the way there. and as we kind of fast forward

this time line in towards the middle of the week we're going to get the return of high pressure. it will continue to dominate. and we're going to get some warming in the middle of the week. now by thursday night into friday we get a shift in our weather with the drop of a system, a cold system coming from the gulf of alaska that's going to turn our weather breezy and, get this, it's going to bring us our first real chance of seeing some rain. right now the timing is looking like friday night into saturday. now as far as how much and the exact track of that is yet to be determined because we have to see if this is going to fall more inland or will head out into the ocean. so the good thing it looks like we're going to get a good chance of seeing showers heading into friday night and saturday which we definitely need it and look what will happen for the temperatures. 76 for san francisco. by next saturday we'll be dipping down into the 60s and we're going to dip down into the 60s even for inland areas. so even if we don't get a lot of rain out of the system we're definitely going to get a noticeable drop in those

temperatures. kira? >> and we need it. vianey, thanks so much. we do have much more ahead on "today in the bay" coming up. if you loved seeing it on stage, maybe you'll like seeing it in your closet, too. how the pandemic is making the popular costume sale from the san francisco opera more accessible this year. 100% beef and hearty chili. try my $5.99 chili cheeseburger combo. it's pretty delicious.

the unfair money bail system. he, accused of rape. while he, accused of stealing $5. the stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. the senior citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety. because the size of your wallet shouldn't determine whether or not you're in jail. vote yes on prop 25 to end money bail.

100% beef and hearty chili. try my $5.99 chili cheeseburger combo. it's pretty delicious. this is the time of year people are thinking about costumes. if you're thinking of costumes, the famous costume sale is going to be a lot more accessible this year. "today in the bay's" joe rosato jr. >> reporter: opera is about the costumes. >> a lot of work and love has been put into these costumes. >> reporter: in a sense the san francisco opera shop is like anybody with a closet bursting at the seams. >> we periodically clear out our

costume stock. >> reporter: every few years the opera shoulders a sort of garage sale to unload excess costume treasures. >> people have lined up around the block. definitely not socially distanced. >> reporter: in these covid times the opera decided to hold a virtual sale for the first time. >> you can search by size or you can search by show. >> this is one of my favorite costumes. these are two of my favorite other costumes. >> reporter: some of these costumes have been with the opera as long as production manager manuel gutierrez, 20 years. >> and these are some of the hats for the merry widow act three. i'm sad to see it go but i'm excited for our patrons to see the artistry and the work we do. you slide it on. >> every costume has been worn on stage at least once. it's really heavy. this is actually a chain we had

made. >> reporter: on what occasion do you put on a gown or tunic? >> at dickens fair. >> reporter: the complete outfits cost $75 to $1,000. the sales takes place november 13-15. all the details at sfopera.com. with current times feeling heavy on drama, it seems these duds are a perfect fit. joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. >> very cool. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, remembering the original james bond. we brought this to you as breaking news yesterday morning. a look back at sean connery's legacy and what his widow is now saying about his final days. plus, scary moments at a bay area cell phone store where police are saying about this hummer that crashed through the windows.

>> it's very weird but we are lucky to have family nearby and w people we know are safe and practicing halloween safely. >> reporter: on a night everything seemed upside-down because of the pandemic -- >> good try. >> reporter: it still works and kids still got their candy. >> it keeps it safe for the kids and residents, you don't have that close personal contact. >> reporter: instead of a giant witch overlooking everything, check out what this house has, it's a plague doctor. back in the 17th and 18th centuries they had beak like masks filled with things they thought would protect them from the plagues of the day. welcome to halloween 2020. scott budman, nbc bay area news. decision 2020, just two days away from election day, more than 91 million americans have

cast their ballots, more than two-thirds of the total ballots cast in 2016. as we told you yesterday morning president trump and former vice president joe biden are making their final sprints to win votes. just yesterday the president was in pennsylvania while joe biden was in michigan. president trump was delivering his final push with four stops in the keystone state. his focus is keeping supporters fired up. the president continued to express his mistrust about election results and the wait for results. a stunning rebuke of the supreme court he helped shape, after the court in pennsylvania decided the commonwealth gets three days beyond election day to count the mail-in ballots. >> of course now that our united states supreme court has delayed everything, it's going to be a tremendous interesting evening. i wonder what happens during that period of delay with the ballots. i wonder what happens.

>> pennsylvania holds 20 electoral votes. in michigan it was a reunion on the campaign trail. president obama and his former vice president together again in person for the first time this campaign season. their aim was to boost support among black voters and they criticized president trump for his handling of the pandemic. the former vice president said he's keeping a hopeful outlook in this final stretch. >> what is the general mood? >> very good, very high. we're hopeful. very hopeful. >> joe biden heads to pennsylvania on the heels of president trump. he will hold two events in pennsylvania. voters are turning out in record numbers as we discussed to ensure their voices are heard. but in san francisco there's one early voting tent that's been set up for nearly a month, fairly empty. as "today in the bay's" sergio

quintana shows us voter turnout is picking up. >> reporter: the close of business at san francisco's early voting station means there are now only three voting days left in the 2020 election cycle. the ongoing coronavirus pandemic means lots of people are having to change up their voting routines. >> i always vote in person on election day but this year it's a little bit more important to get my vote in early. >> reporter: at chase center red boxes were set up for people to drop off their ballots. this is part of an unprecedented effort by pro sports teams to open up their arenas as voting sites. >> it's great so many people are voting and we're trying to give everyone as best access as possible to make voting as easy as possible. >> reporter: steve kerr was among those who lined up to complete a ballot. there's a record turnout of early voters. in california more than 9.9 million have cast their ballots,

at that rate it could be a record high voter turnout in the golden state. the bay area's most populous county, san jose recommendatigi opened 100 voting sites. >> you can go to any vote center and they're going to have a ballot customized for you. if you are not registered to vote and want to vote you can do that. >> reporter: oakland arena is one open in alameda county. jennifer decided to vote in person and brought her brother along with her. >> he actually was not going to vote. he actually was going to stay at home. let's go. let's do it together. >> reporter: each county has different voting hours so a good idea to check before you head over. on tuesday all the polls will close at 8:00 p.m. sergio quintana, "today in the

bay." you can zoom in on the location and a check mark will appear that shows polling locations across santa clara county, check marks, i should say. touch the one you want and you'll get directions on how to get to that polling place from your location all using vta. if you have any problems while voting or dropping off your ballot, we'd like you to let us know. tweet us using t the #weinvestigate. >> take a look at this. a close call at a south bay at&t store. this yellow hummer drove straight through the front of the store. it happened around noon on tully road and capital expressway. you can see the destruction it caused. san jose police say fortunately only minor injuries. so far no word on what led the crash.

hollywood is remembering sean connery, the first actor to bring james bond to life on screen in seven films. it's a story we brought to you in breaking news during yesterday morning's newscast. connery died at his home in the bahamas at the age of 90 and his widow is now saying he had a long battle with dementia. here is a look at the oscar award winning actor's life. >> reporter: sean connery appeared in more than 70 films but one of his earliest was his most famous. 007. >> it's bond. >> reporter: connery played the handsome british agent in seven james bond films but fearful of being typecast he left the franchise in 1971 after "diamonds are forever" determined to broaden his work. the role of a veteran beat cop in "the untouchables" brought him the golden globe and academy

award for supporting actor in 1987. thomas sean connery learned the value of hard work when he was young delivering milk at the age of 9 and dropping out of school four years later. as a teen connery was a body builder. he placed third in the 1950 mr. universe contest, but his big break came in 1962 when he was cast in the starring role in ian fleming's "dr. noh." that first james bond film was a hit and connery's career took off becoming an actor who improved with age. at 60 named "people" magazine's sexiest man alive. britain's queen elizabeth knighted connery for his contributions to film and drama. in 2006 after receiving the american film institute's lifetime achievement award, he was rarely seen in public in the year since his retirement.

preferring to spend time with family or attend tennis matches. one him as the special agent with a license to kill. >> if you'd like to see more on sean connery's life you can go to our website nbcbayarea.com. we've put together a gallery of connery on the big screen and that includes two movies made here in san francisco. still to come on "today in the bay," political analyst larry gerston joins us in just a few minutes to take one final look at this historic presidential election. but first, san jose state is off to its best start in years. the spartans are starting their season 2-0. anthony flores is next with sports.

♪ ♪ ♪

heart monitors that let your doctor watch over you, just like you watch over your best friend. another life-changing technology from abbott, so you don't wait for life. you live it. good morning. i'm anthony flores. for the first time president ronald reagan was in the white

house, the spartans taking on the lobos. this was scheduled for new mexico but this to be moved to san jose because of a spike in covid-19 cases in new mexico. the final minute it's aired out for trey walker, a 37-yard touchdown. the spartans lead, 7-0 after one. the final play of the third quarter, it's a three-point game. 69 yards for the score. the spartans 2-0 for the first time since 1987. three years ago the 49ers got a big treat on halloween when they traded for quarterback jimmy garoppolo. he leads the niners into today's showdown against the seahawks. this is one of the best rivalries in football. last year's season finale came down to a few inches at the goal line. remember, they still have russell wilson at quarterback.

no fans will be allowed. the famed 12 will not have an impact. >> it's one of the cooler places to play with the fans and everything. with the cadence and procedure it will make it easier for us. >> it's going to be refreshing and i look forward to it. it gives the offense an advantage. >> they're giving up a lot of yards. i know their numbers are real bad but the numbers don't tell the story the way their offense is playing. >> kickoff is set for today at 1:25. the san jose earthquakes regular season home finale is being called off the match was scratched after three players tested positive for covid-19. major league soccer is trying to reschedule the match but has said multiple clubs will finish without playing the full 23. the playoffs will be determined by points per game average.

that's a look at your morning sports. have a great sunday. i'm jerome gage. i'm a full-time lyft driver. when this pandemic first started, i bought my own ppe because uber and lyft didn't provide it. these companies have been exploiting drivers like me for years. now prop 22 denies us basic rights like unemployment benefits and sick time. uber and lyft are billion-dollar companies, and they still won't let drivers get access to unemployment benefits. that's just wrong. tell uber and lyft to stop exploiting their drivers.

vote no on prop 22.

just two more days and americans will complete the voting process. time to bring in political analyst larry gerston with his last-minute thoughts. good morning to you. i was talking to chuck earlier. it feels like we've been talking about this for an eternity. how does the race look to you? >> let's begin with the broad picture and narrow it down. we put together a chart showing where we are today, where we are in 2016, and you'll see joe biden has a ten-point lead compared with hillary clinton who by this time her lead shriveled down to two points. that was a har binbinger of whas to come.

bear in mind something else, incumbents since 1932, win 75% of the time which should mean something for president trump. we have to realize at the end of the day it's up to the states, they decide it one by one. we have to think about turnout, about weather, about covid-19 and what that does to people. all of these things together will make election day rather interesting. >> and there has been a torrent of early votes, historic numbers. two-thirds of the americans who voted altogether in 2016 have already voted by now. why do you think that is? >> this is a very interesting campaign. there's no question about it. the most excited, dependable group are the trump voters.

no question about it. they are with trump. you have biden and covid-19. and vice president biden has hammered home that and we've seen what's happened with those numbers, 100,000 now every day. it's time for change. they're coming out in droves. it's really depending upon the independents and where they break and they look to be breaking for biden. we never know given the turnout. there's good news and bad news when it comes to turnout this year. the good news is the absentee voting has gone up, way up. why? more states are allowing it this year than before. universal voting, ten states have blanketed the voters as we have in california. allowing them to vote however they want versus three states in 2016. and then the early voting that we've talked about. 42 states this time versus 22 states last time. but there's negatives as well, kira. the negatives have to do with restrictive voting conditions.

texas, ohio, one ballot box per county. that's a real problem in those very populated counties. the u.p.s., the postal service has eliminated 15% of those automatic sorting machines which makes delivering these votes much -- these ballots much harder and that's why it may have after the election votes that count. and then finally you have 29 states which allow counting ballots. so there's good news. there's bad news. we expect a record turnout. >> i actually want to stick with that point you made about some states having more time to count their ballots after tuesday. and some states not. that has been a supreme court decision or a set of supreme court decision that is have recently been made. it allows some states leeway and as i said some not. why? why is that? or how is that possible? >> kira, take a walk with me into the weeds.

what it seems this u.s. supreme court is doing is countermandering any decision about states -- lengthening their counting process. if a u.s. district court or a court of appeals has gone ahead and approved those kinds of changes, the supreme court has slapped it down. what the supreme court is also seeming to do is allow states where the state courts have approved these decisions to go forward, it's an old federalism issue, believe it or not, as to how these justices look at what roles the states have versus the federal government. it's another example why these three justices appointed by president trump, are so important in this election. >> although he doesn't seem thrilled with the decision that was just made to give pennsylvania three extra days to count their ballots. how do you think all of these issues impact tuesday's

election? do you think these issues will still impact people's votes? >> certainly the bad news part may be an impact. there are many, many court cases still out there. georgia, for example, purged 300,000 people earlier this year and they've already learned at least 200,000 shouldn't have been. ohio had done the same thing. so there's a lot of court cases out there. we don't know how they're going to resolve, how the turnout will happen. the democrats have the lead in many cases but we may not have the votes counted for many days afterwards. the only way we're going to know anything for certain is if there's a blow-out on election day. it seems the only side that can do that is the biden side. but if the trump side does well, kira, rest, take a big breath, and wait it out because that's what we're all going to have to do for days perhaps even a week. >> you'll have to pardon my exasperation. i was hoping we would be done with this in a couple of days.

we may still be discussing this a week from now and that's when we'll see you again, larry. thank you for your insight. we'll be back with breaking news.

welcome back. we have some breaking news in the south bay. a man was found shot and killed this morning in san jose. it happened around 5:30 on the 4:00 block of north 13th street.

you can see the halloween decorations, the arches where people have been looking at the decorations. sjpd are investigating. we will keep our website and social media platforms updated throughout the day today. going to get a little bit lighter now. we're going to turn to vianey arana for our last check of the microclimate forecast on this first day of november. you have a little bit of everything for everyone. yeah, we have a cool start, which is good. fall like. 55 degrees in san francisco right now. 47 in walnut creek. and a cool 48 degrees over san jose. but, by the afternoon, it's going to feel more like summer. look at our daytime highs. we're going to see a warm day overall. san jose, 84 degrees. concord, 85. napa, 83. even in san francisco we'll be in the mid-70s. a predicted high of 76 degrees. that gives you an idea how much

warmer we are, typically in the 60s and 70s. anywhere near the coastline a beach hazard statement in effect, the possibility of seeing some dangerous waves and also pretty strong rip currents. th serves as a remindtory never turn your back to a wave. always look out into the water and this will be in effect through tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. the long range outlook, let's talk about that. we have a couple changes ahead and we have the possibility of seeing some rain. looking out ahead through monday and tuesday dry conditions will remain through election day. sunny skies in the forecast. extending that forecast out to wednesday, thursday and friday we get some of that warming, but by friday a cold system that will drop in from the gulf of alaska in the form of a trough.

as far as how much rain we're going to get we'll know more as we inch closer to it. it will depend if it drops down and stays in the ocean or carries itself further inland. we'll see the chance of rain which is good news. as far as sunday night football, of course, the niners are away and will be playing not the rams. that is the wrong graphic. they'll be playing against the seattle seahawks in washington and will have great weather for that. as far as your election day, again, 72. breezy conditions on friday. cool showers expected friday night into saturday morning. 63 degrees. temperatures really begin to drop which will certainly bring us a change in the forecast. let's get your right forecast, 49ers versus the seahawks. they're going to be enjoying 50s with plenty of sunshine in the seattle area. so go, niners. join me after the show on nbc. >> your mic started to cut out when you started talking about the seahawks. that's okay with me. we don't want to talk about them

anyway. thank you for making us a part of your morning. no 5:00 or 6:00 news. instead it's "sunday night football night in america" and our special newscast at 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. stay up to date on nbcbayarea.com. as a nurse, i've faced the fear

of being stretched too thin to do my job right. and it's not just health care workers. our teachers and school staff are going the extra mile for our kids. our firefighters are taking on unthinkable missions to keep us safe. how can we keep giving billions in tax breaks to rich corporations when our communities need that money? prop 15 closes corporate loopholes and invests in our schools, health care, and public safety. help us do our jobs. vote yes on 15.

this sunday, the "final days days.". >> florida's looking very good. north carolina's looking very good. ohio is looking beyond good. >> it's enough. it's time to change. >> president obama atrump and jn make their closing arguments. >> if we win, you're going to see a stock market that goes like a roktsship. >> i know our people. i no he we can unite and lead the nation. >> and go on attack. >> biden is the leader of looters and flag
