rates. those challengescoincided with shoppers returning to shopping in store. amazon results have been disappointing enough to have a double digit sell-off. according to a report by the distilled spirits council, 2021 marked the 12th year in a row that spirits have taken away market share from beer. beer, including hard seltzer, accounted for 42% of the market last year while spirits accounted for, well, 41%. although beer is shrinking in market size, sales are actually increasing. the brewers association says 2021 beer sales were up 1% year over year. rihanna is making her return

reflective way the song kind of hit, also something she is singing to her new baby, like a lullaby. baby is waking up at 3:00 in the morning. >> you know about that well and will know about it soon yet again. >> a little too well. when they cry it feels like it's raining everywhere. >> i have a feeling that super bowl performance may be different than just lullabies. >> it will be a party. we're going to see if we're going to have a party with our weather from meteorologist kari hall. >> we have a lot going on. it's halloween weekend, there's parties going on, football, and the sports are really getting going for the season. as we get a look at some football weather, it will reach into the mid-60s for the south bay today with milpitas reaching 65 this afternoon. low 70s for morgan hill and gilroy. for the east bay expect it to reach 71 in martinez and pleasanton 72. fremont, 66. and some low 60s for daly city,

half moon bay, 62. 68 in san mateo. in san francisco downtown, 63 degrees and it's still going to be breezy and a lot of clouds passing by. we'll see that as well in the north bay but we're still going to make it up to 74 in ukiah. now take a look at that seven-day forecast. it's already up at the bottom of the screen. the good news is the rain holds off for halloween but we are going to possibly be tracking this starting on tuesday morning with some scattered showers, models have been pretty consistent in showing that we could see some rain here and snow in the sierra. while it kind of starts to break up on wednesday, thursday is looking dry, just a couple days in the forecast there. watching out for the potential of rain, but it doesn't look like a whole lot here. some of the models going back and forth, this one showing the potential of about a quarter inch of rain or less where we have the light blue. for the sierra a bigger deal.

we need to get the ski season started. here we are with 3 to 11 inches of snow, maybe even higher for those upper elevations. and temperatures have been so nice and comfortable. that continues. our mornings start out in the upper 40s and low 50s. notice next week how much cooler it will be once that system drops in and we'll be watching out for scattered rain chances on tuesday into wednesday and for san francisco mostly low 60s here but it could be as cool as the upper 50s for highs next week. big changes ahead. mike, you're still tracking a crash in san jose. >> i am and still light slowing as the crash is over on the shoulder. more build and traffic. oakland road and 880, that little slowdown. we'll see more through mountain view coming up in the next 20 minutes. looking at the rest of the bay, no problems out of dublin, san ramon, a smooth drive. a little build for 84 off where

isabel comes together. a slower drive, more traffic out of the altamont pass. no drama. good stuff. a smooth, easy drive, the bay bridge metering lights were turned on later. a little lighter there. highway 37, highway 4 easing off their first original burst of the morning commute. pittsburg into concord. the backup now filling in many of the lanes but half of them still looking really good. back to you. >> i like the sound of that. we are 11 days from the midterm election and many of us are flooded with texts promoting politicians' campaigns. up next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds, how can you actually spot the difference. >> have to watch out for that. let's check in with garvin thomas with this week's bay area proud. >> reporter: now that we're getting close to halloween, i wanted to share a story about a san jose man who goes way above
