a shooting at a crowd halloween street party. another 18 people were injured. police say it happened just before 3:00 a.m. local time. witnesses say it started as a street fight between two groups of people, in a lively part of the town with boutiques, bars, and cuban and latin american eateries. hundreds of innocent people were caught in the cross fire. according to authorities, one person who may have been involved surrendered to police. police believe there were at least two shooters. we will continue to update this story as we learn more. and we are going to turn back now to one of our top stories that elevated fire danger we're facing. meteorologist rob mayeda is here this morning. so good to see you. it ended up being a lovely day yesterday for some of us, but people don't realize that the winds are picking up and it's dry out there. >> yeah, the cause of the clear skies and the warm temperatures we had yesterday, the offshore

winds starting to pickup and seeing the clear skies this morning. humidity numbers, 51 degrees in san jose. humidity numbers dropping off down to 20% in walnut creek. look what's happening in oakland. an effect of those offshore breezes, down to 22% relative humidity. to get that at this hour, you need those offshore winds picking up. you can see humidity numbers that we would see typically during the afternoon, already outside this morning, as you see there, offshore winds around the bay area and temperatures much more mild than they were at the same time yesterday. so for the north bay, inlarpd, east bay, including the diablo range, red flag warning through 5:00 today. coming up, we'll look at the peak wind speeds we are expecting today and where the next rain chances return in the forecast coming up in about ten minutes. >> rob, thanks so much. see you in ten. as he just mentioned, much of the bay area remains on fire watch throughout the rest of the day today until 5:00 p.m. that has fire departments across

the bay area on alert. in fairfield, the city closed rockville regional park and other spaces. the closure caught some visitors hoping to hike and bike by surprise. the main concern, of course, low humidity mixed with high winds. >> the reason we do that is just to help reduce new starts that can happen, especially in those time periods where those new starts can expand very quickly. we're predicting that today and tomorrow can be that type of a situation to help protect the houses surrounding the area. >> they're not the only ones taking precautions. contra costa fire boosted staffing for this weekend. and the watershed in marin county is closed to cars until that red flag warning ends at 5:00 this evening. to track the conditions in your neighborhood, download our nbc bay area weather app. it is free. we'll send breaking news and weather alerts straight to your phone. turning now to our continued

coverage of the war between israel and hamas. this marks day two of what israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is calling a second phase of the war. the new phase was marked by israeli tanks rolling into northern gaza. unlike trial runs in recent weeks, we're told the tanks will work with ground troops already in the area, until their mission is complete. netanyahu is warning of a long and difficult war ahead. he says the goal is to "destroy the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and bring hostages home." anyone left in northern gaza is being urged to leave. here in the u.s., thousands of people marched yesterday calling for a cease-fire to protect civilians in gaza. demonstrators took over major city streets, including some right here in the bay area. in san francisco, pro-palestinian demonstrators marched through the streets to make their wish for a cease-fire

heard. and they even blocked part of highway 101 in the process. nbc bay area's tom jenson continues our coverage. >> reporter: we've seen a number of these then administrations in san francisco over the past two weeks, both pro israeli and pro palestinian. but this is the largest yet. and it had traffic at a stand still on the freeway through the city. frustrated drivers tried to get around roadblocks. as pro-palestinian marchers, an estimated 15,000 of them, rallied in san francisco. and eventually, marched to the freeway, forcing police to close it for more than an hour. >> the children of gaza and the innocent babies in gaza have no one to speak for them. we are their voices. >> i think there should be a cease-fire now, because the reports coming out of gaza are that thousands of people are being killed, and a great majority of them are children.

>> reporter: palestinian health officials estimate 7,000 people have been killed since israeli forces began air and ground attacks in gaza in retaliation for the october 7th attack in hamas and israel, where 1400 have been killed. >> we all condemn hamas, but we also condemn the 75 years of occupation that led to the actions of october 7th. it didn't happen in a vacuum. >> reporter: rashad has family in gaza and was last able to reach them two days ago when they described the situation as dire and getting worse. >> they said we're waiting for a cease-fire or to die. there is no food. >> reporter: they want to bring more attention to what's happening in gaza. >> when innocent children and babies are dying, and the world is silent, there's something drastically wrong in the world we live in. >> reporter: thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> today, there will be rallies for pro israeli and pro palestinian groups. in san jose, the group freedom

road socialist organization, will gather at city hall to protest the killing of palestinian people in gaza. they are calling for a cease-fire that starts at 1:00 p.m. and in san francisco, bay area jewish organizations will gather for a rally for israel. they also are calling for a cease-fire. the end of killing israelis in the middle east, and for all the hostages to be released. that starts at 1:30. for the latest dopnts on the israel-hamas war, when we're not on the air, go to our website, nbcbayarea.com. well, you may have heard hollywood is mourning the sudden and shocking death of beloved actor matthew perry, who was found dead at his los angeles area home yesterday. perry, best known for his role on the hit nbc sitcom "friends." ♪ there for you, there for you ♪ >> of course, perry played chandler bing on the show that

ran for ten seasons between 1994 and 2004. his character was a fan favorite known for his sarcasm and his one liners. a representative for the actor and law enforcement source tell nbc news he apparently drowned at his pacific palisades home. l.a. fire says rescuers were called to the home around 4:00 about a "water emergency." no one was taken to the hospital. foul play is not suspected, but police officers remained on scene even late into the evening. other details about perry's death were not made immediately available as the investigation continues. off screen, perry struggled with addiction for years, which led to several stints in rehab. it's something he revealed in his memoir "friends, lovers, and the big terrible thing" which was released one year ago. fans flocked to the "friends" apartment building in greenwich village in new york city. some took pictures of the famous

building. others leaving candles and flowers in perry's memory, many saying they were shocked. >> i just finished his book like earlier this year on audible. i think, like, he really fought to have, like, a great life. so it's kind of sad that he -- he is now on the other side. >> the l.a. county medical examiner is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death. perry was only 54 years old. he will be missed. we have put together a look back at perry's career. just go to nbcbayarea.com and click "remembering matthew perry" at the top of our home page. in san francisco, a pedestrian was killed yesterday in a violent car crash on knob hill. it happened yesterday morning at the intersection of post and high. that white car you see there, police say it was speeding down the street when it hit a black car. that crash then redirected the

white car, which hit a man standing on the corner. he died at the scene. the driver of the black car was not injured. police did arrest the driver of the white car. they have not said what charges that person may face. it's almost 7:10 on your sunday this morning. much more ahead. coming up, we go live to washington, d.c. for our

welcome back. as we mourn more innocent lives lost in another senseless mass shooting in america, joe biden is urging congress to send legislation to ban assault weapons. without naming lewiston, maine, biden said it's outrageous what's happening. please join me in welcoming kristen welker, moderator of "meet the press," who has a preview of the show. thanks for joining us this morning. i wanted to set that up, because this morning, you have an exclusive interview with

presidential candidate florida governor ron desantis. i understand he might be alluding to how he would respond if he were president now. >> that's right. i mean, i asked him basically what will you do to make sure that people like the shooter in maine do not fall through the cracks of the mental health system. we know he did receive somemental health services and gain access to weapons. and effectively, governor desantis leaned into the idea that there needs to be more mental health services and an institutionalization of people who need it, and we really went back and forth how specifically that would work and how he would prevent someone like a robert card, of course, the shooter in this case, from falling through the cracks. so it is a robust discussion, but a window into how he would approach it if he were in the oval office right now. but bottom line, even though you have joe biden and other democrats calling for an assault weapons ban, it's really hard to

see that that would happen right now in this climate, given that you have a republican led house, which would be opposed to significant new restrictions, and given that the nation is so deeply divided right now. so i do think what you will see is a lot of discussion on whether there are any steps that can be taken in between, any more measured steps for example, kira, that lawmakers can agree on. that's going to be undoubtedly one of the things that the newly installed house speaker mike johnson deals with as he starts his first full week. >> that will be interesting to see. i think we need to let you go, but you sat down with our former governor, arnold schwarzenegger, in the midst of that house speaker chaos you just mentioned. does he have any perspective on how fractured his party is now? >> well, i sat down with him a couple of weeks ago. i sat down with him before all of this happened, but i asked him about how deeply divided the country is right now. he's really concerned about it,

kira. he thinks that it's one of the things that may be jeopardizing our very democracy. i asked him about the fact that he's not eligible to run for president because he wasn't born here. he said look, he's not frustrated by it. he signalled that he thinks he would be a pretty good president, because he stresses that he has accomplished so much in so many of the things he's wanted to do here in the united states. so it was a conversation that i really enjoyed and i think other people will enjoy, as well. >> i think so, especially here in the bay area. kristen, as always, thank you so much. we look forward to your show today. we hope you join kristen for this morning's "meet the press." she will have exclusive interviews with washington representative pramila jayapal, and florida governor ron desantis. as mentioned, former california governor arnold schwarzenegger. if you just stick with us for "today in the bay," "meet the press" is on at 8:00 a.m. right after this news cast. coming up in about 30 minutes from now, we'll talk to political analyst larry gerston

for our weekly segment. we'll take a look at that new challenger kristen just mentioned, who says he can beat joe biden to become the new democratic nomination for president. speaking of former vice president mike pence has ended his presidential run. he made that unexpected announcement yesterday at the annual republican jewish convention in las vegas. he's been polling in the single digits, making donations difficult. he also failed to meet the requirements to enter the third debate. you can watch that debate right here on nbc bay area on november 8th. lester holt and kristen welker will moderate, along with hugh hewitt of salem radio network. that's november 8th at 5:00 right here on nbc bay area. a celebration of life and culture. we told you about this yesterday

in gilroy. they had the inaugural dia de los muertos event yesterday, which honors loved ones who died. there were also performances, artists and a community bike ride. organizers tell us it was a long-time coming. they hope to bring it back next year. nbc bay area is a proud sponsor of the event. this is celebrated on november 1st and 2nd. an oakland community also celebrating this festival today, happening from 10:00 to 5:00 in the fruitvale neighborhood. music, games, and other activities, art installations, and nbc bay area is a proud sponsor of that event, as well. if you're looking for something else to do this weekend, our mikey has a few ideas in this weekend calendar. >> in the north bay, their inaugural halloween block party,

trick or treating, pumpkin painting, spooky stories, food and drink. the halloween extravaganza is a fund-raiser, so grab your costume and scare up some fun. as we follow this first-ever halloween event, we move to a first since covid event for the next holiday here in oakland's fruitvale district. this year's theme, blooming resilience, to again rate the spirit of the fruitvale community. it acknowledges the dance between death's sorrows and the enduring beauty of life and rebirth. and finally, in brentwood, they want to celebrate with a mashup event, it's a free dog and family fund raising event for this rescue facility. a doggy costume contest and parade, and i'm sure they even go as far as to say you're observing their -- i'll be

observing your weekday commute and that's tomorrow morning on "today in the bay." >> it is time now to check in with meteorologist rob mayeda who has a look at the forecast. it turned out to be lovely yesterday for a lot of us. but that wind threat, the dry conditions are still a fire danger today. >> and we got clear skies this morning. beautiful view of the golden gate bridge behind us. to get these clear skies this time of the year, you sometimes need offshore wind. even though it's not too gusty depending on where you are, it is making an impact on the temperature and the humidity. 51 degrees in san jose. humidity at 39%. we'll take you out to the tri valley. 21%, the relative humidity at livermore airport. that's mid afternoon dry to start the day when relative humidity is at the highest this hour. northeast wind in oakland, even

sfo typically you have to watch for some fog. not the case. clear skies. east-northeast wind at 20 miles per hour. 62 degrees to start the morning. you can see right in the bay area, a big change in the temperatures. if you have wind this morning, chances are you are a lot warmer than the same time yesterday. fairfield and napa, close to 20 to 22 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. but a lot drier with those humidity numbers in the teens this morning, out to solano county. and calistoga, just 12% humidity as the offshore winds pick up. we do think right now, approaching sun rise, this should be the peak of those winds for the north bay. you see the purple starting to fade around noon and wind speeds should come down as we approach the evening. further south, wind speeds not as strong around the south bay, but they are briefly gusting for the santa cruz mountains and the diablo range. through the morning, wind speeds back off as we approach the evening. and that red flag warning for the bay area, the entire north

bay, inland east bay hills, santa cruz mountains should be done by 5:00 later on today. so morning temperatures, mostly 50s outside early today. wind chills in the valleys have dropped to the upper 30s. by noon and mid afternoon, highs in the upper 60s and low 70s. very dry air out there. so we'll see a warm start to the football game. the 49ers/bengals today, near 70 degrees. the wind direction, northwest at times, 10 to 20 miles per hour out of levi stadium. now, the two chances we could see showers, one coming up, good news, not for halloween. trick or treat is just fine. thursday, right there, a chance of north bay showers. better chance for finding some rain early next saturday, with an emphasis it does look to be around the north bay, clearing by next sunday, as we quantify those rain chances for you. chance on thursday and saturday right now. stay tuned. could see a little bit of rain coming back to the bay area,

which would be a welcome sight, considering some of the fire danger we're wrapping up this weekend with. san francisco, less wind. halloween forecast, trending warmer, midweek. inland temperatures could see upper 70s. >> wow. >> before those cooling temperatures and shower chances return by next week. >> and all the children rejoicing, including your sons and mine, that halloween has been saved. rob, thanks so much. 7:22 right now. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, draymond green cleared to play as the warriors take on the houston rockets. the question, how much time will we have on the court? his aner, next in sports.sw

no offense to the midwest, my mom is from there. >> challenger incumbent rarely succeed. you have to go back to 1968 when bobby kennedy and mccarthy challenged johnson. but this is an unusual situation. joe biden is not looking good with democrats. take a look at a poll that we found from just a couple of weeks ago. how do you feel about biden being the nominee? 33% say good idea. 67%, last i heard, that was 2/3, say no, we want somebody else. enter dean phillips. that's the story. he said look, somebody has to go. biden shouldn't be there. >> some think he's too old, we need to move into youth. so what do we know about dean phillips? please. >> he's an interesting guy from minnesota. 54 years old. moderate democrat. third term from a very wealthy family.

he himself is quite wealthy. those are important things. he supports climate change. he supports things like a strong economy, of course. he supports a woman's right to choose, lower health care costs, all of these things. he's voted, mind you, for biden's proposals 100% of the time. you say -- it gets back to what you said, i asked for somebody else to run, nobody else is running. biden is too old. that's the problem. we need a generational change. >> kind of like no one else is going to do it. i'm going to do it. >> and reluctantly, but he's throwing himself in the ring. >> so do you think he has a chance? >> no. i mean, look, i shouldn't be so blunt, but here's the story. they have the new hampshire primary coming up. he filed for it. biden did not file because it's not an official primary. so the question is, how does he do, that is to say phillips in the primary, how does he do in a

primary? probably not so well. but if he gets 20%, 30%, 40% in new hampshire and he goes on to do something in south carolina, democrats are going to get very nervous. they're already nervous. they're going to get more nervous. they're going to see what's going on, and it could open the door for better known democrats to then jump in. that's what we watch for. do we expect to see it? not likely. but gee, kira, 33% at this time of the year supsetting to a lot of democrats. >> it sounds like the jimmy carter, george h.w. bush and another democrat coming in. we'll see what happens. innext, a quick look at the following stories, including in florida where there was a deadly shooting during halloween celebrations. we have brand new, chilling video into our newsrooas peoplem f
