knees. it could be the final face to face in the race to the white house. we're live in washington as tim walz and jd vance prepare to take the debate

stage tonight. plus under investigation, the two overnight shootings in the east bay and new details we're learning. also heat and fire danger. here's a live look outside. meteorologist kari hall is tracking the rising temperatures, with today expected to be the hottest day of the week ahead. how long it will last? this is today in the bay and good tuesday morning. i'm ginger conejero saab in for marcus washington, and i'm laura garcia. we're going to check in with mike for that morning commute in just a little bit. but let's talk about this forecast first day of october. and it's going to be a hot one. yes. so hopefully the heat is blasting in now and then by the end of the month we can see things easing up. and we'll transition in the fall. but we do have to make it through as we're dealing with this excessive heat warning once again in effect for today, continuing into tomorrow, all of these areas in pink are basically where we are going to see the most extreme

temperatures as we go throughout today. the heat advisory, in effect for much of the rest of the bay area including the coastline and parts of the north bay where temperatures are going to be near the triple digits. but we're starting out fairly cool for most of the bay area this morning in spots where we are seeing a little bit more of the wind. the temperatures are higher like martinez where it's 72, but we are seeing mostly 60s and even upper 50s for much of the rest of the bay area. here's a look at our highs for today. even hotter than yesterday with a high of 100 degrees in san jose and 108 in concord. we'll talk more about this and the impact coming up. back to you. sounds good and a great tool to track these temperatures and possible power shutoffs is our free nbc bay area app. you can track how hot it's expected to get in your neighborhood. you can find it at your local app store. as promised, a look at that morning commute. how's it going? still early out there? yeah, still early and looking really good. about this time.

we'll start to see some slowing, but we do see a steady, smooth flow of traffic out of the robin williams tunnel. in the next half hour, we may see a traffic break going on as they remove the crews traveling south. the sparkle there. it's not the heat, although that may be likely in some of your views later on. it's just the lighting. we had the iris up to give you that view of those cool lights. there we go. see a little bit of sense of slowing approaching the tunnel itself. so i do think they're getting those crews clear from their overnight roadwork. nothing big going on through the north bay, nothing unexpected. tri-valley. contra costa county, there's one crash in fremont on the shoulder of the nimitz freeway. back to you. thanks so much, mike. well now to decision 2024. americans in several states are still grappling with the wide swath of swath of damage from hurricane helene as presidential hopefuls look to meet. the moment comes as minnesota governor tim walz and ohio senator jd vance go head to head in the vice presidential debate tonight. today in the bay's alice barr is live for us in washington. and alice, every moment counts with just weeks until voters head to the polls. lauren. ginger,

that's right. and the two tickets don't really know when exactly they could hit on a moment that might persuade someone. they're still trying to catch anyone out there that they can. and so with the fact that we're not expecting to see another debate of any kind before election day, vice president harris had agreed to another debate in late october. but former president trump said no, arguing it was too close to election day. that is all. putting a lot more pressure on tonight. final preparations are underway for tonight's vice presidential debate. ohio senator jd vance arriving in new york. his democratic rival, minnesota governor tim walz, has been prepping in michigan with help from his wife, gwen walz. she wins everyone. the vp debate could take on outsized importance with the presidential nominees not expected to face off again before election day. both tickets still searching for that moment to sway. undecided

voters. jd is a very smart guy, as everybody knows. i think he's going to do great. former president trump spent monday in hurricane helene ravaged valdosta, georgia, alongside an aid group bringing truckloads of supplies. we are going to be with you as long as you need. reporter the former president accusing vice president harris and president biden of not doing enough. the federal government is not being responsive. let me get this straight. he's lying. i spoke to president biden last night about 5:00, just about the storm. the biden administration promising to keep surging every resource the vice president cut short campaigning to return to washington and meet with fema officials. i plan to be on the ground as soon as possible, but as soon as possible without disrupting any emergency response operations. the federal storm response could have a major impact on the presidential race, with key swing states desperate for help in the path of destruction. and turning back

to tonight's vice presidential debate. we are expecting both nominees to play up their small town roots. abortion, views on family and the economy will all be central, and the candidates will be left to do their own on stage fact checking a big looming question is how much emphasis is really going to be on walls versus vans, as opposed to the looming matchup of harris versus trump? lauren ginger can't wait to watch it all. thanks a lot, alice. and speaking of watching, you can watch the debate hosted by cbs news right here on nbc bay area. our coverage begins at 5 p.m. the debate is at 6 p.m. and following the debate, we'll have a special 8 p.m. edition of nbc bay area news. and nbc bay area hosting our own debate for the 16th congressional district seat. former san jose mayor sam liccardo and assembly member evan lowe will meet at our studios for an hour long debate.

the link offers no help in actually arranging a way to leave the country. so she used a travel agency there to book a flight last night. in the meantime, she raised money and purchased critical supplies for those who have now already lost their homes. new overnight police investigating a new round of gun violence in two late night shootings in oakland. the first happened at around 1030 near emeryville on 67th street and herzog. police off camera told our photographer at the scene. one man was shot multiple times and is critically injured. police so far are not confirming that information. oakland police not commenting on an apparent shooting just before midnight near oakland city center. video shows police at the scene and a victim conscious and alert talking with officers. the victim appears to have been shot in the leg. it happened at 13th street near webster. a second person, who is believed to have been with the victim, was seen talking with officers. happening today, san francisco transit leaders are expected to vote on

do hope to get a lot more answers in a special news conference later this morning. our thom jensen is following the story. he will join us with a live report in our next half hour. taking a live look outside in dublin on this first day of october, tuesday morning and the heat is really going to crank up. kerry is keeping tabs on those temperatures for us. yeah, we are under a microclimate weather alert, and it is the kind of day where you have to plan ahead, plan your day around the weather, and you want to make sure that you're drinking lots of water. whether you're grabbing that water bottle before you leave or packing one in the backpack. and if you are working outside today, take lots of breaks in the shade and stay hydrated. that's going to be the key. also, making sure that pets and livestock have access to shade and lots of water. and if you are going out running errands today, never leave any children or pets inside of a vehicle. it can reach over 150 degrees over a short period of time. we do have a cool start to

our morning, so exercise early. we are expecting the possibility of setting new record highs for today in spots like santa rosa, where the high is expected to top out at 104. the record is 101 set back in 2012. we'll be looking very closely at those temperatures as they rise. i'll have another update in a few minutes, and mike now has an update on where you can fill up for less. yeah, you've got those higher numbers. i'm hoping to find you lower numbers. let's check out this board here where the best price in the bay looks to be in contra costa county, concord with 405 as the low valadao on willow pass road today. next number is in solano county. they continue to favor the big box. sam's club again has the lowest in that county. 406 at vacaville on helen powers drive there and then our south bay best is 417 in cupertino today. we have alliance on stevens creek boulevard. you can get the changes that we see here and more in your area. gasbuddy.com on the roadways. we'll check the early commute. things are moving very smoothly

right now. no major surprises out of the altamont. things are a little slow till it opens up around grant line road. things are moving nicely. vasco road from the top of the screen. that's the middle number here. you're at basically your minimum here. coming down out of contra costa county into alameda county. the live look shows you the bay bridge moving very smoothly without incident light traffic flow and no backup at the toll plaza. back to you. thanks a lot, mike. well on strike. major ports along the east and gulf coast shut down overnight as tens of thousands of port workers walk off the job. ahead on today in the bay, the demands are making in the major impact it will have on the daily global economy. plus, the reported change to cvs is considering and how it could essentially change the way the chain pharmacy serves its customers. we've got much more news ahead. y

in san jose. we're under a microclimate weather alert due to the excessive heat warning that's in effect for san jose. with temperatures quickly ramping up from upper 60s to 100 degrees later today, we are going to see this again tomorrow. more major heat ahead. we'll talk about that and the impacts coming up in a few minutes. and right now, it looks like a clear view of the golden gate bridge and a clear drive as well. we had the slowing coming down out of the north bay. looks like the first round has

cleared. there should be other crews that are coming across this, including the realignment. that zipper truck is due any minute. meanwhile, no problems, no surprises. as you approach the city. good morning, wall street is set to open lower after the dow and the s&p 500 closed out. september at record highs. and the move coming as federal reserve chairman jerome powell says the fed isn't on a preset course when it comes to interest rates. powell says to expect two more rate cuts this year if the economy performs as expected. now the dow, the nasdaq and the s&p all ending higher for the month. and it was actually the first positive september for the s&p in five years. in focus today, we get data on manufacturing auto sales and job openings plus earnings from nike. roughly 50,000 union longshoremen are now on strike at ports from maine to texas. now, this could cost the economy

hundreds of millions of dollars a day. delayed shipments for everything from cars, furniture, alcohol and pharmaceuticals, and raise costs for businesses and consumers. but as the holiday season approaches, toy makers such as hasbro and mattel, they may be in the clear because analysts at ubs say the company's got most of their production and shipping out of the way and routed deliveries to ports on the west coast. more than 85% of their shipments come through the port of long beach, which serves as a gateway for goods coming in from asia. and cvs health is reportedly reviewing options, including a possible breakup of its retail and insurance units. the struggling health care services provider is looking to turn around its fortunes as it faces pressure from investors. cvs is also discussing whether its pharmacy benefit manager business, which oversees drug benefits for health plans, should be housed within the retail unit or under insurance.

such a move would essentially undo the company's $70 billion takeover of aetna in 2017. with your cnbc morning business report, i'm silvana henao. interesting stuff. thanks silvana. well, trending this morning. the season premieres keep coming on nbc bay area. and one week from tonight, everyone's favorite world renowned professor of behavioral science turned investigator returns. we are looking into every possible angle. i promise. and i know i don't have to tell you that you should not be involved in this case. there is no way i'm going to sit by and do nothing. when rose has been abducted. the irrational is back for season two. law and order legend jesse l martin portrays alex mercer, now he uses his expertise on a variety of different cases involving governments, law enforcement, and corporations. i spoke with martin ahead of next week's season premiere, which involves the abduction of mercer's

girlfriend. he says his career as an actor helps him tap into his character in the series. there are things that i, i think i've, i've known a big part of my life being an actor, because part of our job is to watch human behavior and replicate it in various mediums. but i think everybody does that in some way, shape or form. i just have the science to back it up now, and some of the terms that i could use to describe behavior and why things are rational or irrational. well, season two of the irrational kicks off one week from tonight on nbc. bay area. it airs at 10 p.m. i remember those communications classes where you had to, like, observe people. it was kind of fascinating. it is, you know, absolutely. mating habits. yes oh, interesting. well, yeah, we'd have to like, go to overlook. sorry, sorry. we need to get the forecast. okay it's going to be really hot today. that's what we've all been talking about. and it continues

with the peak of the heat today and tomorrow. we're starting out all clear in san francisco. and you know it's going to heat up in the city today. we're going to head across the bay to oakland to see how our temperature trend will shape up for us. so we're right now in the upper 60s as we head toward 7:00, 9:00, it's beginning to warm up a little bit, but still comfortable for any outdoor activities that you have going on. as we go throughout the day, take a look at our noontime temperature 87 degrees with a light wind, and we're going to see those highs headed for the mid to upper 90s here 94 degrees for a couple of hours between 3 and 4:00 and then into the upper 80s by 6:00. the good thing about this time of year, even when we get these big spikes in temperatures, our overnight hours cool down quite a bit. so there is a wide range in temperatures from the morning to the afternoon, but it will be unbearable for several hours today with concord high 108 degrees. that may set a new record there. and we're also

watching out for the potential of record highs across the north bay, santa rosa topping out at 104. and it will also be very notable that san francisco will be in the mid 90s, and there may be parts of the city closer to 100 degrees. we are just as hot tomorrow. so the heat risk and how this affects your health will get even more extreme as we're looking at a high of 107 in los gatos, we're back to 100 in fremont and in san jose, and it's really not any cooler tomorrow. in fact, it may be slightly hotter in some spots, like gilroy. look at that 112 degrees. so yes, it's going to be dangerous tomorrow. and once again, it's really not easing up on thursday either. we're in the mid 80s in san francisco and up to 104 in concord. and looking at 105 in san martin. so let's take a look at concord and what to expect. we are going to see more of these hot temperatures

into the weekend, with a high of 100 on saturday, 99 on sunday, and then maybe by the middle of next week, those temperatures will start to get a little bit better. but this will be a prolonged heat wave that we have to deal with. with our overnight lows in the mid 60s. while san francisco will see a high in the 90s, today, we're still looking at some warm weather for the next few days, and mike tuesday is off to a pleasant start for you. a very pleasant start right now we're looking at 80 through fremont. great drive past the truck scales. there was an early morning crash there. then moved to the shoulder. looks like everything's cleared up nicely. it's been an hour since that was reported out of lanes, but we still have it marked on the map right here. there's maybe some activity. south bay 87 moving smoothly. there may be an incident just off of that highway. we'll check guadalupe itself in the updates as they come in from chp through the area. a little blip right here. highway four, maybe the start of some slowing. we do see that for highway 37. right on schedule coming over here through the maze toward the bay bridge. no

surprises. a little bit of a build there. and all transit agencies are reporting no delays. remember, spare the air and the status today. we want to make sure we can reduce as best we can. back to you. we'll check back in. thanks, mike. coming up next on today in the bay nbc bay area responds. hurricane helene created headaches back east, plus thousands of used car lemons that might be headed west. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, a warning for car buyers

and countless cars. the company carfax doesn't have an exact estimate of how many cars yet, but it's saying tens of thousands of cars have suffered flood damage this hurricane season, and here's the problem shady used car traders reliably move those cars to sell them elsewhere. like here. take a look at this carfax map. the darkest colors show where the most flooded cars are washing up, and california is a deep navy blue. let's be clear. you do not want to buy a car that was in a flood. so if you're in the market for a used car in the next few months, check the vehicle history. if it shows it came from the east coast, think twice. another warning. really shady sellers will try to hide that car's history. so even if a used car supposedly wasn't back

east during hurricane season, try a couple things before you buy it. sniff for a musty smell. look for foggy headlights, tail lights, or signals and pull up the carpets. see if there's any sign of sand, silt or mud. ideally hire a mechanic for a professional inspection. we made a how to video all about avoiding flooded cars. it's on our website and streaming channels. just look for the how to playlist. thanks kris. well, next top stories. we're following today, including tracking the heat blanketing the bay. meteorologist kari hall is timing out our forecast and how hot it is expected to get in your neighborhood. and one of the giants greats on this wall is taking over as president of baseball operations. we'll show you who he is and

a day with us. i'm laura garcia, and i'm ginger conejero saab. the heat is on. we're going to take a look outside. a live look outside for another day of triple digit heat that is set to take hold of the bay area. so let's get straight to meteorologist kari hall. timing it out, including this lingering fire danger. yeah. we normally don't show san francisco when we're talking about the heat, but today, it's not excluded from all of the high heat that we are going to see across the

bay area. we are starting out with a cool morning, a little bit of time to open up the windows, let the house cool down, close them by 8:00 because already the temperatures will start to heat up and we may be setting some records today in santa rosa, 104 degrees is our expected high temperature. the record is 101. in san francisco will be very close to a record high. heading up to 94 degrees, there may be parts of the city that's hotter. and in oakland, 97 today, that would definitely break the old record of 94. in livermore, 104 today, san jose 100 degrees. so a lot of these numbers may be reset today. and we're looking at not only the excessive heat but unhealthy air quality and also the elevated fire danger. so for now, let's head over to our bob redell live in livermore closely monitoring the heat. and also that psps that we heard about yesterday from pg&e. correct. the public

safety power shut offs. we're not expecting any of those here in the east bay. we're outside the robert livermore community center's community pool behind me, which opens actually at 6:00 this morning. we expect that this will be a very popular spot for people here in livermore today, as many community pools will be open. and that's a place where people will be wanting to cool off. livermore expected to hit 99 degrees today as this heat advisory as you mentioned, carey in effect until tomorrow night at the earliest in the north bay. you're talking about those speeds up pg&e still warning about the possibility of public safety, public power shut offs over concerns that the winds could rattle power lines and spark a wildfire. the utility has given notice to more than 140 pg&e customers in northwest napa county to be ready for no electricity. they still have power, but the fact that it could be turned off still a possibility. pg&e had also warned hundreds of customers in contra costa and

alameda counties about the same thing, but the winds weren't as bad as they are here in the east bay, so the agency did cancel those warnings. so in addition to the heat, the other thing we're concerned with right now is just the wind and the humidity with the, the breeze that we're anticipating. it is likely going to get stronger and gusty in those upper elevations. it would not surprise us if we see a red flag warning issued by the national weather service in the north bay mountains. he's a division fire chief with the santa rosa fire department, reminding everyone to limit any sort of outdoor activity that could lead to a wildfire in this hot weather, like using gasoline, power tools near dry brush. now, this was the scene last night in concord where a fire broke out off ignacio valley road and cal roads. no damage to any structures, but the fire department tells us it was dangerous for firefighters as they were having to work in temperatures that were around 95 degrees, and with all that turnout gear, you can imagine

just how exhausting that must be. reporting live here in livermore. bob redell today in the bay. yeah, no doubt. easily dehydrated as well. a great tool to track these temperatures and possible power shutoffs is our free nbc bay area app. there you can track how hot it is expected to get in your neighborhood. you can find it at your local app store. checking that morning commute with mike out there, folks, up and out the door. yeah, it's tuesday, so we expect a bigger volume. that's what we see right now in san jose. it is starting to ramp up the volume and we see the speeds dip just a bit as that volume increases for just the next 15 or 20 minutes. if we stay on schedule here this earlier crash, again, there may be one cruiser over on the shoulder, 880 southbound around the truck scales just south of auto mall. a little build here. north 680. still might have a crew heading up past bernal, but 84 shows a little build coming out of the tri-valley. there is a crash registering on highway four in the commute direction. going to be adding to the slowdown at port chicago highway. think everything should be off to the shoulder a

distraction there is the bills showing up though. coming into concord out of pittsburgh and bay point. that's for contra costa county. no other problems. the north bay has your typical slowing for the westbound 37, and there's a build on the incline for the bay bridge. back to you. thank you. mike. new overnight a midnight deadline came and went. and this morning port workers from texas to maine are now on strike. this is the first longshoremen strike in nearly 50 years. the strike is bringing the deliveries of everything from produce to auto parts to a standstill. experts say it could cost the u.s. economy more than $4 billion per day, leading to longer and more costly shipping routes that will be passed on to consumers. west coast ports, including the port of oakland, are not expected to feel the impact. talking a little baseball here, the giants offseason just started, but fans this morning waking up to a big change in the top brass. farhan zaidi is out and buster posey is in as the president of baseball

operations. today in the bay's thom jensen is live for us in san francisco. and tom, we're guessing that most fans, they probably have some idea about the new man in charge. yeah, he definitely is a big name. he's a name that's right up here on this wall. a man who's up on this wall with these other giants greats, people like mccovey, mays, bonds. buster posey is one of those all time giants greats and chairman giants chairman greg johnson and manager bob melvin will make the formal announcement at a ceremony at oracle park later on this morning. the team fired farhan zaidi after six seasons with the giants and just one playoff appearance, followed by losing records for the past two straight seasons. posey led the to team three world series championships between 2010 and 2014, seven time all star national league rookie of the year. he won a national league

mvp award, along with gold medal as a member of the u.s. team on the 2017 la olympic team. hunter pence, who was on two of those world series winning teams, talk to nbc bay area yesterday about posey's grit and what drives him to take on this new challenge. the fact that he would take on this big of a task, it just goes to show how much he genuinely, you know, his passion for the game of baseball, his passion for this wonderful organization. is it going to be easy? no, but i think he's going to set a standard that and i think players are going to want to play for him, you know, along with board and ownership. giants chairman greg johnson. thanks, hetty, for his efforts in san francisco. and he wished him the best moving forward. johnson said the team needed someone to define, direct and lead the franchise franchise's baseball philosophy and elevate the team so that it can consistently contend for championships. and he said posey is the perfect fit and that he will work well with manager bob melvin to accomplish

those goals. we hope to hear more from buster posey himself and from manager bob melvin about how they will reach those goals in a press conference later on this morning. for now, we're live in san francisco, thom jensen today in the bay. sounds great tom. a lot of fans excited already. big time, big time. all right. thank you. well, just hours from now, the first and only time a debate will take place between the vice presidential candidates. minnesota governor, democrat tim walz and republican ohio senator jd vance will share the stage in new york city. they've both been crisscrossing the country to introduce themselves to voters, paying special attention to battleground states. we spoke with nbc political analyst larry gerston. he says the number one debate rule for vice presidential candidates is do no harm. don't make things difficult for the person at the top of your ticket. beyond that, they'll need to back their boss. of course, vance is vulnerable about the very famous

springfield deal with dogs and the cats. when you when you talk about walls, it's a matter of defending. what? what harris has said things like immigration, gun control, that kind of stuff. where she has changed. you say flip flop. he's got to somehow make that good. now you can watch the debate hosted by cbs news right here on nbc bay area. our coverage begins at 5 p.m. the debate is an hour later at six, and following the debate will have a special 8 p.m. edition of nbc bay area news. happening today, a historic presidential nomination south of the border. claudia sheinbaum will be sworn in as mexico's first ever woman president. she's also the first jewish person to hold the position. sheinbaum is a climate scientist by profession and once studied physics and engineering at cal. governor gavin newsom is among the leaders in mexico for today's historic event. he is reportedly the only elected california official invited to

ozone from the high pressure and the hot temperatures that we will see today headed up to 108 degrees in concord, oakland today, 97 103, in napa, as well as novato and san francisco in the mid 90s. san jose today 100 degrees. gilroy 109. and it will be even hotter there tomorrow while we're still in the low 90s in san francisco and in san mateo, we're going to see a lot of highs over 100 degrees for much of the north bay for tomorrow as well. going into thursday, we are going to see a few of those temperatures coming down, but still really hot, and it's going to gradually ease up as we go into the weekend. mike, you're starting with more of a backup. you're seeing out there. yeah, not so great at the bay bridge. we do have this very visible backup now in the last few minutes. that means a lot of slowing on the incline. the metering lights likely turning on right now as we see that slowing on the map. you saw it on the live camera. and now blips here as we're dipping down below the speed limit. pinole
