start. we're looking at more of the same tomorrow, but it may be slightly warmer for some of our inland valleys. so we're just tracking some slight changes as we lead into the end of the week. i'll have a look at the changes in the weekend forecast. mike, you're concerned about a crash in the tri-valley. >> i am. overall we're looking at a nice expected commute for most of the bay. we're looking at the tri-valley, westbound 580, there's a lot of slowing approaching isabelle, highway 84, bus there's a crash involving three vehicles. i'm told it's in the center divide and that will be an issue because they have to eventually get it to the right shoulder. there may need to be a traffic break considering that big volume coming out of the altamont pass. this is the middle of the morning commute there. north of there, contra costa county moves nicely, no major problems through concord or walnut creek, vasco road builds, so does kirker pass road. out of the north bay, a smooth flow of traffic. the bay bridge has the backup now building. back to you. >> thank you very much. we begin with breaking news in southern california, where

firefighters are trying to get a handle on an out-of-control wildfire that destroyed at least one home. right now several neighborhoods are under evacuation orders. the fire started a little after noon yesterday, strong winds helped fan those flames. at least 1,200 acres have burned so far. as of last night, there was no containment. just into our newsroom, oakland police are investigating a deadly shooting just about two hours ago. it happened a little before 4:00 this morning at san leandro and stone streets. police say one person died. our photographer shot video of that scene, which appears to show a vehicle that crashed into a fence. it's not clear how this is connected to the investigation. police are also trying to determine if it may be connected to a nearby break-in. and right now, an investigation is under folding in san francisco. this is after a pedestrian was hit by a car going the wrong way on a busy street.

"today in the bay"'s ginger conejero saab is live for us in the city. and, ginger, this is just the latest incident to serve as a reminder for people as they're getting ready for that morning commute. >> reporter: an important reminder, marcus, today, for that morning commute, and it's also halloween. so a lot of people out on the streets. but this pedestrian collision coming just days after another pedestrian was hit and killed in san francisco. the pedestrian in this accident was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. the collision happened last night in the heart of the financial district on montgomery and market streets, shortly before 8:00. the driver of a red sedan with an out of state license plate was seen making a wrong turn, then hit someone on the street. now, montgomery is a one-way street, it is quite busy, especially close to the intersection of montgomery and market. it was closed, also, from sutter to market street last night as police investigated. sfpd says the driver involved

called 911 to report the accident and told dispatchers that he had made a wrong turn and struck a pedestrian. that driver did remain on the scene. now, as of september, san francisco has had 19 traffic deaths so far this year. that number is down from 27 at this point of the year last year. you can see that on the graph. now, 2022 had the most traffic fatalities in the city since 2014. these numbers, a reminder this morning for the morning commute, as you mentioned, marcus, and on a day like today, to be extra careful on those streets. >> ginger conejero saab in san francisco this morning, thank you. a new grand jury indictment spells out the charges against a south bay mother accused of throwing out-of-control parties for minors. shannon o'connor is due back in court next week for a preliminary hearing. the indictment filed yesterday includes more than five dozen felony and misdemeanor charges. o'connor has now been in custody

for nearly two full years. she is accused of endangering juveniles with alcohol and encouraging them to have sex. the new indictment is expected to clear the way for a criminal trial. new developments overnight in the middle east. here is a live look from israel at the gaza border. united nations this morning is turning up the heat on israel and unfolding humanitarian crisis in gaza, which remains mostly cut off from the oud outside world with a few trucks of aid arriving each day. the u.n. calling for a humanitarian cease-fire, saying it is now a matter of life and death for the people of gaza. that cease-fire would allow for more aid to enter into the area. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu yesterday reiterating there is no chance of a cease-fire. new video this morning of a barrage of explosions this gaza. idf says it was expanded ground operations. overnight dozens of hamas fighters were killed, all of

this as the military drives deeper into gaza, calling for immediate release of all hostages held by hamas. right now, about 240 people are still being held captive by the terror organization. now, all of this comes as the u.s. senate is set to debate president biden's supplemental aid package for both israel and ukraine. >> "today in the bay"'s drew petrimoulx reports from washington. lawmakers will also hear testimony from homeland security security leaders about threats within our borders. >> reporter: with israel's ground invasion under way, top u.s. officials heading to capitol hill. defense secretary lloyd austin and secretary of state antony blinken set to testify tuesday in front of the senate appropriations committee, amid a fight in congress over funding for israel and ukraine. some in congress want to send aid to israel, while pushing off debate over funding for ukraine and other priorities. others want to tie the two aid packages together and link them with money for taiwan and u.s. border security.

>> at the end of the day, all of those things have to be done, not some of them, but all of them. >> i think it's much easier to do everything at once. >> reporter: meanwhile, with the humanitarian crisis in gaza growing more desperate every day, the u.s. state department says it's pushing for relief. >> yesterday 45 trucks carrying food, water, and other humanitarian aid moved through the rafah crossing into gaza, marking the highest single day shipment to date. >> reporter: still, u.s. officials are not calling for a cease-fire, as israeli forces push into gaza, promising to destroy hamas. >> what we have said should be considered and explored, our temporary localized humanitarian pauses to allow aid to get to specific populations and maybe to help with the evacuation of people that want to get out and move to the south. we do support that. we do not support a cease-fire at this time. >> reporter: across the u.s., jewish and muslim leaders say threats against their people are on the rise as tensions boil over in the streets and on

college campuses. drew petrimoulx, nbc news, washington. 6:08 this morning. the site of the former south bay fry's electronics headquarters is being considered for a development with hundreds of new housing. developers are hoping to build what may be more than 1,000 units near interstate 880 in north san jose. it's where fry's once had a warehouse and a flagship store. fry's went out of business early 2021. so far, developers are not commenting. let's take a peek outside on this tuesday morning. halloween. a nice start to our day. kari has a look at our temperatures. it's clear out there, so probably cold. >> a beautiful, clear shot there, and around the bay area. no issues with fog, not even in the north bay. we've seen those morning temperatures dipping into the upper 30s there. as we move down to the south

bay, a look at our highs this afternoon, nice recovery. we go from starting our morning in the 30s and 40s to hitting a high of 77 in san jose, and 80 in morgan hill. much of the east bay will be in the mid to upper 70s, with danville a high of 75 degrees there, and 77 in fremont. in san mateo, 75 there, and in redwood city, san francisco, low 70s, with the mission district reaching 73 degrees and 75 today in napa. not much of a change in our temperatures, but we will have some rain chances eventually. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike, is the gas price now a trick or a treat? >> a little more of a treat, i guess. that would be a trick for people expecting it to go up. santa clara, best deal is $4.55, that's at costco on coleman. costco really dominates the best prices in the south bay right now. in contra costa county, it's $4.59 at the best there, mobil in brentwood.

and in the north bay, $4.69 in vallejo at the sinclair station, their best on fairgrounds drive. thank you for sharing with everybody around the bay on gasbuddy.com. on the roadways, we're looking at a problem in the tri-valley, westbound 580, the crash still in the center divide. three vehicles there, so a big distraction. no major injuries, but we have a big backup and that adds to the travel time at the bottom of your screen coming out of the altamont pass. slowing until the dublin interchange. past there, it's fine. coming up on "today in the bay," the supreme court weighs the issue of blocking people on social media. let's take you out to the futures this morning. it looks like it's going to be a bit of a slow start on this halloween. if you want to get crazy, we can get crazy. >> oh, yes, it is halloween. we are getting you in the spooky spirit.

some bay area horror films perfect for tonight. keep it right here. we're going to let you know what you need to watch tonight. it's hloween.al

happy halloween to you. let's get a look at your forecast in time for trick-or-treating. after hitting a high of 77 in san jose, those temperatures dip quickly for the evening. be prepared for it to go from 71 at 6:00 to 66 at 7:00, and then

at 8:00 we're in the mid-60s. rapidly falling temperatures. we'll talk about the rest of the week in a few minutes. the east bay, no major problems. a nice smooth drive approaching the bay bridge what greets you there are friends, we'll put it that way. a nice drive to the bay bridge toll plaza. we'll talk about the longer drive coming up. good morning. happy halloween from me as well. the fed starts day one of its two-day interest rate meeting today. a company called hippo in palo alto is laying off. the insurance company's shock down about 80% on the year. apple had a rare evening event where it introduced laptops last night. the united auto workers have reached a deal with all three of the big automakers, meaning the historic strike is coming to an end, and the workers did very well. >> now that we have a groundbreaking tentative agreement at gm, we're

officially suspending our stand-up strike against each of the big three. the u.s. supreme court will consider a case today involving politicians and social media. the question, can someone who sits on, say, a local school board block someone else from posting on their social media account rgs or is that a violation of free speech? regular people, you and me, we can block anybody we want from posting on our facebook page, but public officials, elected to office, working for the taxpayer, generally can't. not on their official accounts, mayor or sheriff or whatever. but what about their personal accounts? where does official end and personal begin? that's a question for the supreme court. sam bankman-fried was back on the stand monday, facing pretty tough cross-examination from prosecutors, who would like to send him to prison for decades for, they say, ripping off investors with his cryptocurrency company ftx.

now, this is a federal trial, so there are no cameras, but there are artists in this courtroom sketching him. many on social media have said, some of those sketches are quite flattering to bankman-fried. the trial has not been going well. testifying in his own defense is seen by many as a last-minute attempt to turn things around. a chinese company just became the first to get a permit to fly an air tacky with passengers in china. fully autonomous. you just choose your destination on a touch screen. if you grew up with the jetsons, you've been waiting for air taxis. this week on sand hill road we talk to the lead investor for boeing, the person who takes boeing's money and finds interesting start-ups about the future of flight. >> what i love about it is just sort of, you know, looking at the other people on the airplane and thinking about what we're doing, thinking about connecting the world, connecting people that maybe had never seen each

other face-to-face, giving people experiences, just take it all in. this is exactly what we do and why aviation is so cool. >> ryan shetler with horizon x which is boeing's venture capital firm. you can find our podcast on apple, google. the technology is not really in the drones that are going to fly you somewhere. it's in keeping them from bonking into each other. >> think of how many accidents we have on the roads and we have rules. >> we don't really understand round-abouts, so yeah. trending this morning, with halloween on tuesday, why not curl up tonight with a scary movie? even better, one of the many films shot and in the bay area. >> anger will never defeat us. >> starting with this film based on the popular south bay tourist

spot "winchester" that's based on the famous mystery house which celebrated it's 100th anniversary this year. focusing on the famous heiress, sarah winchester. this is the 2019 thriller that stars another oscar winner, and actor winston duke. it is partially filmed on the boardwalk there in santa cruz. it follows a family attacked by masked strangers. if you're in the mood for a throwback, you might want to check out "invasion of the body snatchers" which centers around a detective looking into why humans are being replaced by alien duplicates and the remake is filmed entirely in san francisco. for our final recommendation, you may want to channel both your halloween -- yeah, this is "the nightmare before christmas" directed by tim burton.

30 years ago, it's been that long? it was shot entirely in san francisco using puppets and doesn't everyone just love a good old puppet, especially the haunted ones. >> i think i like puppets better than clowns. >> we always say that for california, "the nightmare before christmas" is one of our favorite holiday movies. >> it's kind of in the middle. >> in the stores, they have the summer before christmas and it just goes right in from summer to christmas. >> other movies from the '80s, the vampire movie. >> oh, "lost boys". >> my first time in santa cruz, i was, like, i know this place. >> i think about "birds" from bodega bay. >> you've got your pick. we are starting out very chilly out there this morning. this is probably what it's going to feel like tomorrow morning.

we've had cool days, but it warms up nicely. we're at 45 degrees in san francisco, martinez at 53. we're flipping those numbers. we're only at 35 in sonoma and in san jose, as you step out, 47 degrees. then it warms up about 30 degrees between now and the afternoon. we are starting out needing jackets, but short sleeves later today as pleasanton heads for 74 degrees. we'll see a high of 75 in oakland and 70 in daly city. palo alto reaching 76 degrees, and reaching 73 in the mission district. another mild day in san francisco, with the outer sunset in the upper 60s. and mill valley reaching 73 degrees, while santa rosa, as well as sonoma, will see a high of 77. looking ahead to when we'll see rain, a couple of slight rain chances as we go toward the end of the week, but especially this weekend, as we start to see more widespread showers. it doesn't look like it will be raining all weekend, but

definitely saturday evening into sunday we'll have to watch out for off and on light rain. and then we go into early next week with cooler temperatures, as the rain chances start to ease up. so here we are at halloween, we're going to see temperatures in the mid-70s today. and look beyond that, because it's actually going to be some of the warmest days we'll see throughout the weekend into early next week, and this weekend we'll remind you, between now and then, another 1,000 times, to set your clock back one hour. mike, how is it looking on the roads? >> just a mild change for the san jose area. northbound 101 does start to show a little more traffic flow, a little bit of slowing. really the first burst cleared nicely. we should see the build in the next 15 to 20 minutes. the build for 880 south through hayward typical. 580 jammed up as you're approaching the crash, but starting to see recovery. standard at the bridges. back to you. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds.

>> her fridge is cold, but the freezer is hot. the company promises to fix it, but zero

it's disappointing when someone makes plans and doesn't show up. an east bay viewer says that's what an appliance tech did to her repeatedly. >> she contacted our responds team and consumer investigator chris chmura did show up to

help. let's talk about rijah in walnut creek. she told us her samsung fridge's freezer wasn't freezing, or even cooling. the fridge was still under warranty. samsung sent some techs. they cut some tubing behind the fridge and promised to return and finish the job. they promised once, twice, three times, they promised four times within four weeks, but they never came back. zero fix. that's when she contacted us and we contacted samsung. it then sent a $2,379 full refund, the price of the refrigerator. samsung told us, we regret the experience and have worked to resolve this matter to her satisfaction. she's using the refund money to buy a new fridge. why not just fix the freezer? she says samsung sent another tech who determined the exposed tubing had contaminated the fridge. you don't have to go it alone. you can pull out your smartphone and snap that qr code. you don't have to settle for

silence. you can get the state involved. the state bureau of household goods and services regulates appliance repair outfits. if you file an official complaint, you'll probably get the company's attention. you can also contact us. scan this qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form online. trick or treat time is about 12 hours away. you're going to want to dig into the kids' candy buckets to look for not just your favorites, but also the possibility of thc-laced candy. we're going to talk about how common this is and wha

breaking news right now at 6:30, a quick-moving wildfire forcing evacuations in southern california. we'll take you to riverside county for a look at the damage already done in a matter of hours. and parents, make sure you check your childrens' halloween candy tonight. the reason police say this year is different and what you're looking out for. oakland trying to keep its residents safe. the new layer of security for downtown business districts just days after the city scrapped another program. this is "today in the bay." happy halloween. good tuesday morning to you. 6:30 right now. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we want to get right to the breaking news, the

out-of-control wildfire burning right now in southern california. reporter macy jenkins is with our l.a. sister station on the ground near the fire lines. >> 2,200 acres burned and zero percent contained. take a look behind me. this is what we are seeing. we saw firefighters pull up to this property just behind us just about ten minutes ago. the flames burning in certain spots just behind the trees, and then, of course, right up on the mountaintop. when we were here last night, we could see fire glowing in multiple places. some of that fire still going in hot spots. i'll have you walk with me this way. you can see firefighters from cal fire, riverside county and other agencies working together to try to figure out the best plan in getting this thing put out. the fire started yesterday, about 12:40 p.m., and firefighters are still trying to figure out how it began. now, at one point the fire was

being fueled by santa ana winds. those winds died down, but the fire still prompted several evacuations, many people having to leave their homes. a shelter has been set up at great oak high school in temecula, and people needing to drop off their pets can head to the valley animal shelter. that's the latest here, macy jenkins, nbc 4 news. meteorologist kari hall joins us now. >> talking about the conditions, we all know conditions can either help firefighters or spread the fire quickly. >> we are seeing some gusty winds. the middle of the afternoon is when we see the highest of those winds. right now things are calming down just a bit. just to the north, a red flag warning continues for los angeles and ventura counties. and that red flag warning has been extended. we are seeing some of the gusts in the area at about 30 to 50 miles per hour. and then take a look at the humidity. only at 5% to 10%.

so extremely dry conditions. although the area where we do have the fire is well south of what's included in that red flag warning, those conditions do continue for today, as we make it deeper into our wildfire season. that's something that we'll have to also monitor around the bay area as we go into the next several days. i'll have more on what we can expect, a look at your halloween forecast in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. tonight is the night a lot of kids have been waiting months for, counting down the minutes to trick-or-treating. >> and while kids may have their sights on getting all the candy they can possibly get their hands on, it's the grown-ups that have their eyes on what's going into the candy buckets. "today in the bay"'s kris sanchez is joining us. all of this comes after the weekend scare involving the pot-laced sweets in the east bay. >> reporter: this was unfortunate. we know that four children got an edible among their candy at a weekend event. fortunately, only one child ate it and that child is okay.

now alameda police are asking all families to throw out the candy they got at that weekend event. this was a trunk or treat event organized by the school's parent-teacher association. the edibles looked like this, square little fruit chews the size of a starburst. the color a little off, though. many marijuana edibles are packaged with plays on the names of regular candy like weedish fish, nerds spelled wrong, thc snickers. if you're a kid that doesn't read yet or you really want candy, you might not notice. morgan hill police also warning about these rainbow fentanyl, fentanyl, of course, an opioid 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine and it sometimes looks like candy. >> the uniqueness about rainbow fentanyl is the multi-colored

tablets, but those were found in packages of skittles, sweet tarts and whoppers, so very concerning. we don't believe they're actually targeting children, however, if a child were to come across that and start ingesting those tablets, that would be bad news. >> reporter: make sure you inspect all candy, look for tampering before the kids eat it. when in doubt, throw it out. make sure kids are visible in the dark because data shows that kids aged 4 to 8 are ten times a vehicle on halloween than any other night. so that's the bigger danger. now, some people are saying, come on, you're making a big deal out of nothing. it did happen, right? but, like, the morgan hill officer said, people aren't necessarily directly targeting children, but it happens, and it happens 7,000 times between 2017 and 2021, according to the u.s. poison control. but 90% of those children found that thc edible in their own

home. so if you use it, that's fine, it's legal. make sure you keep it where kids can't get it. >> the thing about it, your kid could go to their friend's house and think it's candy time. >> it seems more like kids being unaware, rather than people directly trying to sneak it. these things are expensive. you're going to buy a $15 pack of candy, you're not going to give it away, probably. it's rare. >> thank you. 6:36 this morning. and a new war of words is brewing in alameda county where d.a. pamela price is trying to remove a high-profile defense attorney in a police shooting trial. so michael rains is representing former san leandro police officer jason fletcher, who pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges in connection with a 2020 deadly shooting inside a crowded walmart. price claims rains misappropriated privileged work from the county prosecutor and

she's filing a motion to disqualify him from the case. rains calls the motion absurd. the d.a.'s office did not respond to our request for comment. >> he provided that information to the county's affirmative action officer in a written complaint filed there. that's where the information arrived from. that will be explained in much greater detail in our response to this frivolous motion. >> we reached out to d.a. price's office for comment, but we have not heard back just yet. both parties are set to return to court on november 20th. this morning in oakland, leaders are getting set to announce a new program designed to boost downtown safety. "today in the bay"'s bob redell joins us live. this all comes after leaders pulled the plug on another policing program less than 24 hours after it started. >> reporter: correct. good morning to you, laura. yes, later this afternoon the city of oakland will announce a new program, it's not clear if this is coincidental to the fact

that they just canceled another program this past weekend, but at noon today mayor sheng thao of oakland will launch the new five after five safety program, which according to a media advisory will provide a secure parking garage in downtown oakland for visitors and workers. this weekend, the city launched the auto burglary pilot program that encouraged people to report car break-ins via social media so officers could respond in real time. but opd pulled the plug less than 24 hours after it started. a source inside opd tells nbc bay area rank-and-file officers were never provided any internal details or orders on that operation, in a statement opd said, quote, the test concluded as scheduled, unquote, and that social media accounts would be reactivated ahead of their next test. more than 11,000 car break-ins have been reported in oakland this year, that's a 35% increase from last year. more than 12,000 cars have been reported stolen, including the

car that belonged to this gentleman. >> in oakland right now, you can't have a car or truck outside. >> that seems a very short pilot program. >> if it doesn't work, you don't continue to use it. but you do have to give it more than 24 hours. >> the issue here is real serious. now, i understand what the police department was trying to introduce, technology for us to report it. but we're already way behind when it comes to 911, 311 calls, it takes forever. >> reporter: that was oakland city council member noel gallo, who said the city council was not aware of the auto burglary program that was canceled this weekend. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you so much. 6:39 this morning. let's take a live look out in san jose as we get started with

halloween day. meteorologist kari hall is tracking what we can expect. a cold start for those with costumes. don't make them too skimpy tonight. it's going to be a little colder later. >> just as fast as it warms up, it cools down. as the sun sets and temperatures start to drop, let's get a look at your forecast for martinez. after reaching those low 70s, we'll be at 70 degrees when most of the trick-or-treaters are out at about 7:00, and then it continues to fall into the 60s. around the bay area, a really mild day. this is after starting our morning in the mid to upper 30s in parts of the north bay. you'll see the high temperature head for 77 degrees in santa rosa. and then morgan hill, also a cold start. then we'll see a high of 80 degrees. we'll reach into the mid-70s for much of the peninsula. be prepared for a wide range in the way we start the day into the afternoon, and then falling again tonight as the temperatures -- as the wind starts to pick up. mike, you're seeing some of

our cameras showing some traffic starting to bog down. >> behind me, north 101, bogging down through san jose. that's typical, north 87 also shows slower sensors, highway 92. the san mateo bridge westbound is showing a lot of slowing and a lot of crowd coming onto the bridge, feeding off the nimitz. this is typical timing. it's 6:41 in just two seconds. slower sensors on the map. recovery for 580 is great, the crash cleared and traffic feeding into sunol via southbound 680. a concert tonight at the oakland arena, travis scott is at 8:00. we'll see some post-work traffic but the evening commute will be slower past 66 and just expect that at the off-ramps. at chase center, doja cat concert at 7:30 p.m. >> i'm going to paint the town red. coming up, when is a dollar worth more than a dollar? when you're doing government

math. and, you know what, they're not wrong. plus, this morning we are highlighting a filipino american small business owner making some noise with several growing businesses. we're going to talk about her unique story just ahead. you're watching "today in the bay." first, it is halloween, and my family still is putting up with dressing up. yep, willy wonka and the chocolate factory. don't go anywhere. this is just the start of the fun. when we return, we're going to show you the tricks being played show you the tricks being played behind the scenes rhtig

happy halloween to you. as we get started and make plans for the day, take a look at san jose. we have a beautiful sunrise under way. get those cameras ready and you'll be snapping more pictures of all of the trick-or-treaters going around the neighborhood. we're headed for 77 degrees today. at 6:00, we're seeing temperatures in the low 70s, cooling down quickly after the sun sets. so we'll get a look at all of our microclimates and what's ahead in a few minutes. >> no need for a camera. folks have this ingrained in their memory. the backup at the bay bridge is back. we see slowing as lanes fill in, as well as walnut creek. look at this. taillights southbound toward the interchange visibly slowing. we'll show you the speed sensors coming up.

president biden is praising automakers and auto workers. >> the strike against the big three almost done. >> almost done. workers are going to do very well in this deal which needs a few crossed ts and dotted is. the white house had gotten deeply involved in the strike, and not really as a negotiator or arbitrator, but rather squarely on the side of workers. president biden has long claimed to be the most union-friendly president in modern history. >> i applaud the uaw and the companies for agreeing that all the workers on strike and all those walking the picket lines, brothers and sisters, can go back to work immediately, even before the vote is taken. >> you remember he walked the picket line, too, with workers in michigan. biden becoming the first sitting

u.s. president in history to do so, telling them on the day of the strike, stick with it. the strike ended up lasting six weeks. in washington, the u.s. senate is working on a bill that would fund the defense of israel, the defense of ukraine and taiwan and our own borders as well. the house, meanwhile, considering only funding for israel. and the way that brand new speaker mike johnson wants to do that is unusual. he wants to take $14 billion designated for the irs under the inflation reduction act to pay for it. that $14 billion goes toward taxpayer services in an effort to crack down on wealthy tax cheats. now, government accounts point out, when you take a dollar from the irs, you're taking more than a dollar because you're weakening the agency that raises money for the government. when you give the irs a dollar, it's more than a dollar. the nonpartisan congressional budget office estimates the $80

billion that the irs received through its latest funding would cut the deficit by $100 billion, because the irs would be able to collect more money that the taxpayer already owed. keep your eye on an obscure trial in colorado. they're trying to decide if donald trump should be allowed on the ballot there. the constitution says people who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion can't hold office. the court has to figure out, what does engage mean? how do you define an insurrection? trump faces similar eligibility challenges in minnesota, new hampshire, arizona and michigan. and it's halloween, the white house celebrated last night with trick-or-treating. the president handed out candy and the first lady, she's a teacher, handed out books. she called it hallow-read. october marks filipino heritage month and women's small

businesses. on this last day of the month, we are spotlighting a filipino american representing a whole lot of both. she owns a lounge in downtown campbell that's described as an elevated plant boutique and event space. she says that being a small business owner allows her to run her business as she pleases, without the restrictions that would come from a corporation. but charlene is also busy, she's actually a deejay as well, with two groups. one with her husband called soul mates, the other with an all filipino deejay crew. ladies first deejay club bay area. she says from all of her businesses she's learned a whole lot along the way. >> as a woman, i do find that i do have to come into a room being a little more confident and show that i'm actually -- i am supposed to be here in this

space. >> charlene also spreads her love of deejaying with other people as an instructor to inspire female turntablists. so there you have it. cool. i like that. we may not be the "today" show, but we here at "today in the bay," we are also getting into the halloween spirit this morning. i want you to take a look at this. >> here we go. first on deck, our behind-the-scenes producers and executive producer dressed up like our writer, laying on the ground. he tries to keep our scripts in line every day, but no stranger on flannels, baseball caps and shorts. the team took the opportunity to pay homage to him. his wife telling him the team wears it better. we love rob. and i want to pay tribute to our 6:00 a.m. producer, a san francisco giants fan and also no stranger to the shorts. wears vans and has a signature moustache. no stranger to introducing gen-z

phrases to us as well. this is a vibe. i think i shocked him this morning when i showed up. >> full circle. >> mustache was convincing. >> i was hoping i wasn't going to get pulled over on my way to work. what are you doing? >> it's halloween, hello! >> one day they're, like, okay, go ahead. >> a lot of people are going to be wearing those costumes to the office today, maybe dressing up like coworkers. that's an idea. we have some cool temperatures this morning. i wonder how many people in this shot going across the bay bridge are dressed up in costumes right now. i wish we could take a poll. so we are starting out cool this morning. here is a look at our high ths afternoon. it's going to basically be a repeat of yesterday where it

starts out chilly and warms up nicely. we're headed for 80 degrees in morgan hill. the seven-day forecast is coming up at the bottom of the screen. livermore will reach a high of 73, about the same in martinez, and in oakland today 75. we'll also see a high of 75 in redwood city and san mateo, san francisco in the low 70s downtown, and our north bay temperatures reaching into the mid to upper 70s in santa rosa 70 degrees. as the trick-or-treaters start to ring the doorbell, in sunnyvale at 7:00, it's 68 degrees. the temperatures continue to drop as we go into the evening. as we look ahead to see when we could get some rain in the bay area, a little bit of some north bay showers late friday, but much of the rest of the bay area sees that rain holding off until late saturday into sunday. it doesn't look like it's going to be raining all weekend, but we will definitely have to keep an eye to the sky for wet

weather, and then next week we're back to dry conditions. a look at our seven-day forecast after today and tomorrow, we're going to see some cooler temperatures coming in, and for the weekend, as we get ready to set the clock back one hour, we are going to be watching out for some very fall-like weather, cooler temperatures, and maybe even a little bit of rain. mike, you're watching a crash. what's going on? >> we had a crash reported. it might be accentuating the backup a little bit, north 101, i think it's toward the shoulder. no major injuries reported. the build is on. 101 from capitol expressway, same for 87 and out of the valley which splits to 85, you see the backup and slowing and move toward 17. that's just a typical shift. south 680, delays toward sunol. a crash, three vehicles involved. one lane is blocked. no major injuries, but they need a tow truck there, at least one. we're going to track that.

a smooth flow of traffic, this crash at central is cleared from the shoulder. we have building for highway 4. we saw the speed sensor slowing and now we have a longer drive time for the 680 highway 4 connection into walnut creek. >> thank you so much. 6:53. after taking a break in talks, striking actors are expected to return to the bargaining table today with studios and streamers. hopes for a deal have grown recently with both sides making some progress on some of the big sticking points. last night union leaders tried to temper the enthusiasm, telling actors there are still major differences on key issues, including compensation and artificial intelligence. a look at top stories, including breaking news in southern california, a fast-moving wildfire forcing people from their homes. we have an update on the overnight fight to contain flames. parents, make sure you check your childrens' halloween candy tonight. the reason police are saying this year is different and what to lk outoo

are investigating a deadly shooting just about two and a half hours ago. it happened a little before 4:00 this morning at san leandro and stone streets. now, police say one person died there at the scene. our photographer capturing video at the scene which appears to show a vehicle that crashed into a fence. it's still not clear how this is connected to that investigation, and police are also trying to determine if this may be connected to a nearby break-in. a weekend incident in alameda serving as the latest reminder to parents to check their childrens' halloween stash. police say at least four children received pot-laced edibles in candy bags, after going to a trick or treat event at an elementary school. the edibles resembled square fruit chews. one of the children ingested it and became ill, but is now okay. experts advise parents to look out for other drugs like rainbow
