your way to the interior parts of the east bay even up to 88 in san martin today and 90 in fairfield. take a look at tomorrow's temperatures, it is about the same. no major changes here as you get a look at your microclimate and what to expect even wednesday. but the 7 day forecast at the bottom of the screen, we're set in this weather pattern even though high pressure kind of moving away a little bit, we'll start to see some storm systems moving in to the pacific northwest and that will enhance the ocean breeze next week, cooling down or temperatures. livermore in the 80s and 90s the next few days, but next week once again with the storm system passing to our north, we'll drop with those highs into the mid-70s next week. overall, our inland temperatures are remaining steady up until about the end, we do see it cooling down another degree or two with san francisco continues to see highs in the upper 60s. mike, you are looking at a crash

in hayward. peninsula south bay as you'd expect. it is light for that entire side of the bay, but i'm concerned about this crash north 880 reported right asperian, and there are vehicles in lines. southbound seeing some slowing. so there could be two crashes or the original crash could have inaccurate information. we're tracking that. this is between 238 and 92 right there. a critical time for your commute. and looking at the bay bridge, this is light for this time. so we'll track it, but so far nothing big coming in through the maze. next on "today in the bay," nbc lemons is about to flood the used vehicle market after hurricane ian. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, we'll show you how to

resold. here is the thing. some sleazy car dealers can wash a car's title clean of those flood or salvage stamps. so an in-person inspection is essential. first sniff the interior. a foul or musty odor is a red flag. so is an overly rsy smell. >> sometimes they put in a very strong air freshener to cover the musty smell. >> next peel back the floor mats and carpet, look for moisture and mildew. when you pop the hood, check out all the exposed metal, look for signs rust is forming. and if you are comfortable, take apart the electrical connectors. look inside. see if there is any corrosion from saltwater. better yet, hire a mechanic to inspect the car for you. emily says 100 bucks is the going rate for a pro. and trending this morning, the countdown is on for tonight's powerball drawing. who is ready to win? jackpot is jumping to $401 million.

it is one of the most immune evasive so far. >> a new covid variant detection. ahead, the precautionary steps one bay area doctor suggests we take now to better protect ourselves. and new challenges for parents, the hefty cost for full-time care. this is "today in the bay."

thanks for joining us. i'm kris sanchez in for marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's have a look at half moon bay. they are all gathering there, some good farmers with some gar began chew an pumpkins on display. and ginger conejero saab has a preview of the big weighoff. >> i'm sure there is pumpkin spice in their coffee. and we're starting off with some fog. slow down in parts of napa, santa rosa. north bay, we're seeing denser fog rolling through. and it is down to half a mile visibility now in morgan hill and even thicker fog as you go down toward gilroy. in the east bay, a few clouds to start off in martinez, dropping

the kids off at school will be chilly, they will have the jackets, but they will be putting them in their backpacks by the time you pick them up because it will be 82 degrees. mike, you've been watching out for a crash in the east bay. >> yeah, this is hayward, and the sensor just changed to match you, so that is great. southbound unfortunately that means it is slower toward this crash at 8th street. as those sensors change, chp updated saying they have cleared lanes southbound. smooth drive as you travel in out of the tri-valley, look at that, a great drive actually south bay along the peninsula, no major issues getting towards the bay bridge. no surprises. richmond bridge starting to build. bay bridge, still does not fill in all the lanes, so a little lighter right now. stanford researchers detected a new omicron

subvariant in the bay area. >> and bob redell is joining us live with more on this. we've seen a lot of subvariants, why are scientists worried about this one? >> reporter: good morning. because this new omicron subvarient ba2.75.2 might be the most immune evasive so far. still doctors say you want to go to your pharmacy or your local health care provider and get that booster shot even though the booster might not prevent you from being infected by this new omicron variant, it should still keep you from getting very sick and ending up in the hospital. the clinical biology lab at stanford has detected one case here in the bay area, and there are also several other cases confirmed in los angeles county. specifically the subvariant's spike protein looks different, which means antibodies we have from getting a vaccine or from having had covid may not recognize it and there could also be a higher chance

therefore that it will cause infection. also treatments like mono clone natural antibodies might not work against this subvariant while paxlovid and remdesivir should. >> it feels that we don't feel scared or panicked, it just means that we need to continue to want to protect ourselves when the numbers go up. right now we're still in a lull. so it is just a matter of watching to see if these newspapers go up and try to protect yourself from even getting mild infection because even that is disruptive to society. >> reporter: that was dr. chin-hong. he says we're in a lull, but he still recommends you get that booster shot especially if you are immune knowknow compromised over 65 or pregnant. >> thanks so much, bob.compromi

over 65 or pregnant. >> thanks so much, bob. and the new covid strain taking shape and doctors also dealing with the flu season. experts warn it could be more severe this year. with schools reopening and adults returning to the office, flu cases are already on the rise. and one city reports more than 250 students were out at one point, new york city already reporting nearly 126,000 cases since flu season started there. it starts a little earlier on the east coast. and the cdc says nationwide cases are higher than they were this time last year and one reason is that lot of folks have stopped wearing masks. this year though there is a stronger type of flu vaccine. >> so the high dose shots are particularly recommended for those 65 and above, it is stronger and gives that immune system response that can help fight off the flu. seniors should ask for that specifically. >> doctors say it is safe to get a flu shot at the same time that

you get your covid booster. this morning we're working to learn the condition of a survivor of a deadly crash near santa rose. investigators say a man and woman were hit on old red wood highway in penngrove just before 8:00 last night. the man died at the scene. paramedics rushed the woman to the hospital. the chp says they believe the two had left the twin oaks road house bar and were crossing the highway when they were hit. there is no crosswalk in that area and it was already dark. the driver remained on scene and is said to be cooperating with investigators. tenants forced from their san francisco highrise for months reportedly filed a new lawsuit against the landlords. residents first vacated after a ruptured rooftop water main in june. and then there was a second pipe burst in august. and that forced another set of evacuations. as the "chronicle" reports, tenants filed suit friday citing

damages and deception claiming the management failed to do those needed repairs. the company though is denying the tenants' allegations telling the "chronicle" it worked tirelessly to make the repairs and compensated residents with temporary housing, funds and personal expenses. we're getting a new glimpse at how hard it is to raise a child in san francisco. it highlights the reason why so many struggle to make it in the bay. child care council of san francisco estimates costs of full-time care at between $1700 and $2500 per month per child depending on their age. and annually that can run parents nearly $30,000 per year. couple that with real estate data which puts the average rental unit at about $3600 to $3800 a month. median income for a family in san francisco is nearly $120,000. when you add it all up, child care and rent account for more than half of families' monthly

income. >> i heard that there is actually more dogs and pets in san francisco than there are children. >> i believe it. let's take a live look outside, this time from the south bay. san jose. waiting for the sun. it is sleeping in. we're feeling the effects of fall. >> yeah, days are getting shorter, but the temperatures aren't yet getting any cooler. but we are seeing a cool morning and that fog rolling over san francisco. and there is karl kind of blocking your view of the sunrise. so i wanted to take you up above the fog to see the sunrise from our sutro tower camera. clouds will linger this morning but then we'll see the sun peeking out as temperatures head for the low 60s there. around the bay, we're taking a look at that traffic flow coming through dublin, and there we're headed for 82 today. really pleasant afternoon. a little bit warmer in gilroy with a high of 85. and 73 in san rafael.

we're starting out with fog around that area. so we'll talk more about minor changes ahead. mike, you are looking at the north bay as well. >> yeah, trying to give fol folks a little warning about the richardson bridge project the next few days. there will be lane restrictions. this one possibly delayed, but looks like there have been no problems. and build across the bridge of course kicks in for the morning commute. we're looking at a surface street crash just off highway 101, but not a major issue from what i can tell. peninsula looking great. the crash on 880 should be off to a shoulder but slowing sticking around a bit there. sensors from time to time we see little blips coming down just below the limit, but a nice easy drive on the live camera. and reducing drug overdoses

among teens. >> narcan is a life-saving drug and could be the difference between a person overdosing and surviving and a person passing away from that overdose. >> coming up, the action leaders are taking in classrooms across the south bay amid a rise in fentanyl that looks like candy. >> reporter: and i'm surrounded by massive pumpkins. just take a look at these guys. we're live in half moon bay at the world championship pumpkin weighoff that is starting shortly. it is not just bragging rights people are competing for. we'll tell you how much is at stake.
