coming up and the beautiful weather is getting my vote. i'm chris chmura. sitting in for kira klapper. let's take a poll of the weather first with your microclimate forecast. here's cynthia. good morning cynthia. good morning chris. good morning everyone. i feel a little better because we got that extra hour. i know the morning people doesn't really count, but you know everybody else. hopefully you're waking up with us and bundling up. we are looking at those mostly clear skies, temperatures, low 40s and 50s on the map. 49 right now, south san jose, 41, in fairfield, and we got 44 in calistoga. we have just started though our wind advisory there through solano county, the sacramento valley. as we get into a windier pattern, not only for today, but really through this election week, you're going to feel those gusts picking up, especially tonight in those higher elevations. and that's going to continue for a couple of days. we'll watch those winds day by day, where i think the strongest one will be on wednesday. so i'll be back with that extended

forecast in about 15 minutes. chris, back to you. all right, cynthia, thank you very much. now. decision 2024. just two days left until election day. and the campaigning is nonstop for vice president kamala harris. and former president donald trump in several different states today. harris will be in michigan. mr. trump will be in pennsylvania, north carolina and georgia. yesterday, both campaigned in the battleground state of north carolina. meanwhile, their running mates tried to woo voters in las vegas. vice president harris made some time for an unplanned trip to be live from new york. she made a surprise appearance on saturday night live, aka snl. the final episode before the election. it was right here on nbc bay area last night. gosh, i just i wish i could talk to someone who's been in my shoes. you know, a black south asian woman running for president, preferably from the bay area. and the crowd went

wild. harris appeared at the top of the show, having a heart to heart with herself in air. quotes. actually, comedian maya rudolph, who regularly portrays harris. rudolph and harris jabbed trump a tad in that heart to heart. it's nice to see you, kamala. it is nice to see you, kamala. and i'm just here to remind you, you got this because you can do something your opponent cannot do. you can open doors. presidential hopefuls from both major parties have made appearances on snl in recent years. former president donald trump hosted the show in november of 2015. speaking of trump, he held three rallies yesterday, one in virginia and two in north carolina before harris's trip to new york. she visited north carolina at the same time as donald trump and at one point. check out your screen there. their planes were next to

each other in charlotte, and this election is a choice between whether you will have four more years of incompetence and failure, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country. that's what's going to happen. mr. trump held a second rally in north carolina in greensboro. here in the bay area, people are taking advantage of early voting and making plans. ahead of tuesday's election weekend, voting continued at san francisco city hall. people there able to drop off their mail in ballots or register to vote and cast their ballot. i feel great about voting. i get emotional whenever i come out of the of the voting booth or voting location. i feel that way right now, in particular this year, it's, you know, it's a historical election. meantime, over at the historic john's grill, preparations are underway for their annual election day

luncheon. former san francisco mayor willie brown says the event is aimed at encouraging people to get out and vote on november 5th, and then get a free meal. people can stop by for a free meal between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on tuesday. there is so much on the ballot people, props, so much more. so our team wants to make sure that you make an educated choice. just snap that qr code on your screen right now with your smartphone. it will take you to our full voter guide where you can learn all about this year's key races and questions. bart police are asking for help finding a man who attacked a rider in san francisco. police say just after eight yesterday morning, the man stabbed a 54 year old woman on an antioch bound train as it was pulling into the mission's 24th street station. investigators shared that surveillance picture of the suspect. police describe him as an asian man standing five foot

eight and weighing 160 pounds, also a knotted braid and a mustache. yesterday he was wearing mostly black clothing. the victim, we are told, has serious injuries. some social media posts claim east san jose's emma prusch farm park is in trouble, but the farm park says it's not shutting down. today in the bay's marianne favro tells us this confusion stems from a conflict between the city and the park's foundation. the controversy surrounded one third of an acre here in this 46 acre park. but the bottom line is this chicken playground and the park will remain open to the public. every year, thousands of families flock to emma prusch farm park, lured by the thought of feeding farm animals or playing on a giant chicken slide. twins archie and ollie come here with their dad 2 to 3 times a month. i think the big chicken is a big appeal. they're really into animals right now. so not only

that, they can go and see, live animals over here in the barn, but then go and play with a great park. lots of space to frolic and be kids. the park spans 46 acres, but recently there was a dispute between the city of san jose and how the emma prusch farm park foundation was handling this small area known as emma's kitchen garden. our concerns around fundraising and communication and operational practices have made it difficult to maintain an effective partnership, and that's why we've decided to conclude those negotiations. the city of san jose has not had an agreement with the farm park foundation for more than a decade, so the city said it would no longer negotiate with the foundation and gave notice to volunteers to remove their equipment. by november 18th. some thought that meant the entire park was getting evicted and posted on social media concerns it would close. we reached out to the park foundation for comment, but have not yet received a response. so

what happens next? in the short term, our park maintenance staff will take over maintenance of the small garden at the park to make sure nothing goes to waste while we develop long term plans. the city says the park will remain open and no scheduled public events will be impacted. absolutely thrilled to hear that the park will be staying as is. maybe even getting better. who knows what they're going to do? marianne favro today in the bay. more controversy for san jose state's volleyball team. the university says its associate head coach is, quote, not with the team at this time. melissa bates smoosh told the conservative outlet she was suspended indefinitely after filing a title nine complaint against sjsu. patti smith spoke with a different outlet, revealing specifics about the complaint in response to the original story. sjsu said it had, quote, significant concerns

about breaches of student and employee privacy. this all stems from reports there is a transgender woman on the spartans squad. the team has not said whether the player in question has come out publicly as trans. but the spartans co-captain joined a lawsuit against the ncaa challenging rules allowing trans athletes in women's sports. since then, at least five teams have refused to play san jose state. this week, boise state said it would forfeit against the for team the second time this season. the controversy has drawn concerns of transphobia and led to san jose state stepping up security around the team. we have more ahead on today in the bay. we can give you a live look at the white house. the top prize in decision 2024. next, we'll chat live with meet the press moderator krten welker aboutis

and welker. live from new york. christian. good morning. who do you have on the show this morning? hey, chris. well, great to be with you. we are going to be talking to governor doug burgum of north dakota and senator raphael warnock of the great state of georgia. we're going to talk to them about the closing days of this race. both candidates closing messages where they think the state of the race stands, and then we're going to be hearing from the great steve kornacki. he's going to break down the results of our latest nbc news poll. why is our poll so significant? well, it's the last poll heading into election day. we had pollsters in the field as late as yesterday. kris so you can't get more urgent poll results heading into that final race. and i can tell you the top line is that this race is still all tied up at the national level. so a lot

to unpack. today on meet the press, kristen, what do you think about the polls compared to four years ago? how much do you think the pollsters behind the scenes have been tweaking their questions and their methods to ensure they get it right? well, look, i think that that's always mission critical for every pollster to make sure that they are getting it right, to make sure that they have an accurate accounting of voters, for example, in 2016. of course, pollsters said that they undercounted trump voters. that's in part because some people weren't reporting how they planned to vote. so there have been a lot of attempts to try to correct for that. and i would just tell you, in addition to our poll, there's a really fascinating poll out of iowa today which shows kamala harris leading 47 to 44%. that's a jump from last month when trump was leading by four points. what's significant? just taking away those top line numbers is the fact that she got that surge based on a rise and increase in

support from older women voters and politically independent women voters. so the question becomes, what does that mean for other states that are demographically similar? those are one of the questions we'll be watching for in election day. chris. chris, let me ask you one more question, a beltway question. what's the tone like in d.c. right now compared to four years ago? oh, i think that everyone is watching waiting. there is obviously a sense of anticipation and urgency. this has been an unprecedented and historic election, quite frankly. donald trump has faced two assassination attempts. joe biden was at the top of the ticket. he stepped down from the top of the ticket, effectively passing the torch to his vice president, kamala harris. for so many reasons, this is an unprecedented moment. so everyone watching and waiting to see what will happen on election day, and you'll be there to document it for us. kristen, thank you so very much. please join christian for meet the press right here at 8 a.m. right

after today in the bay, coming up in about 30 minutes. we'll talk with nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. we'll take a look at the early voting process and what to expect, or maybe what not to expect on election night. 49ers defensive end nick bosa is not off the hook yet for what he did after sunday night's game. bosa interrupted a reporter's postgame interview with a teammate wearing a make america great again hat. nfl rules ban players from wearing or displaying items related to political activities, causes and non-football events. the rule is in effect the entire time a player is visible to a stadium or tv audience, including postgame interviews. bosa forgive me was not on the list of players. it's early find for week eight behavior, but the league says the league sources are telling us that the nfl might be taking more time to weigh to how discipline bosa. a

celebration of life. now that a new north bay park is open in memory of a seven year old boy. a rolling gate crushed and killed alex kwon back at his san rafael school in 2019. well after the accident, his family wanted to celebrate his life, so they built a park in greenbrae with some of his favorite things. it features a lego structure, a playground, and a garden. the kwon family held a grand opening yesterday with firefighters and first responders who tried to save alex's life. the kwon say they wanted to create a space for the community and to channel their grief into joy and action. this place is actually a bit serendipitous because we used to live up the hill on almanor, and we'd stop by when we'd ride bikes to marin country mart, and we quickly realized that there was no place for children to play. there was obviously a huge grass area, but no, you know, bespoke park. and so we wanted to do this in his honor. just so kids who are at that age where they're so curious and just want

to have fun discovering the world around them, could also participate. the family also says they initially wanted to sponsor a bench, but felt a park offered more to the community. hi guys. check out davies. a packed house at san francisco's davies symphony hall last night to celebrate the day of the dead through music. our own raj mathai was in attendance recording some of that video for us. the orchestra played both traditional and contemporary latin american music, with the audience waving colorful balloons. the festivities included a living altar called frida of the mission, featuring an artist who looks like the late mexican artist frida kahlo, painting in front of an easel. happening now in san francisco. a live look at the golden gate bridge, where you might be able to see a runner or two, or maybe several hundred eventually, because the 23rd annual golden

gate marathon and five-k are underway. there they are. organizers say 7000 people from around the world in total are running right now. the five-k just started the half marathon, kicked off about 20 minutes ago. marathon route goes from van ness avenue to beach street near ghirardelli square. all right. all those runners are up early, being active, showing off. and a study shows. well, we the rest of us might not be getting enough sleep. that's according to the cdc, the centers for disease control and prevention. the agency ranked bay area counties based on the percentage of people who are sleep deprived. so who's that? well, that's anyone sleeping fewer than seven hours each night. cynthia is raising her hand. solano county has the highest rate. 38% of people in solano are sleep deprived. go back to bed, solano. 32% of san francisco residents don't get enough sleep. about the same down here in the south bay. san mateo county has the lowest sleep deprivation level. still

pretty high, though, 28%. experts say a factor for many in the bay area not getting enough sleep is that commute time. how many hours a night for you, cynthia? i don't remember when the last time i got seven was a good night will be like five and a half. six. i can attest to that. solano county one. my grandpa commutes from vallejo down into the city, so he's out the door before 5 a.m. poor guy. love him so much. but solano county, we need to work on that bedtime. at least one extra hour of sleep tonight. last night that i should say, because of the time change. i woke up and i was like, is it really this time? yeah, i think it is this time. and i was, you know, well rested. i guess, for our standards. i was out at oak hill cemetery in san jose yesterday for dia de los muertos. it was a beautiful day, wasn't it? we got another day like that today. stunning. i mean, look, right now, santa rosa, clear blue skies. but the absence of that cloud and moisture from yesterday is bringing down those numbers a little bit. low 50s. they're beautiful through the

city. for those runners, 54, i hope they're wearing an extra layer and of course, more layers needed under that beautiful sunshine though in walnut creek 47 to start our sunday funday. and down here in san jose, a few clouds making their way through the city. but not bad. we should be clearing out of them. not only for today, but the next couple of days as we turn things a little bit more sunny and breezy, though, that's going to pick up as we go on into our afternoon temperatures. a bit more mild than what we had yesterday. we have some low 70s up through wine country 69 in livermore for today, 70 down here in san jose. we're going to keep the mix of 60s and 70s for the inner bay 70 for you there in hayward. we already like i talked about at the start of the show, are in this wind advisory for solano county. notice those offshore winds 20 to 30 miles an hour at times, even through parts of napa county. and really extending through the rest of the bay. so today, if you haven't done so already, bring down those halloween decorations or the wind is going to do it for you. as we go on into the evening hours, everybody tapping

into that 20 to 30 mile an hour wind gusts, especially towards our higher elevations. and that's going to continue as high and low pressure kind of battle it out. i'll explain in just a second. and not really a good day to go out towards the beach. if we're going to be along the water, we do have that beach hazard statement as that northwest swell brings up some breakers up to 10 to 14ft. so if you're going out there with your kids and your pups, make sure you keep an eye on them. here's where high and low pressure are battling it out as those two come together, the pressure gradients in our upper atmosphere kind of become too tightly packed. wind speeds pick up, and that's going to continue through our election day. there on tuesday, even on into wednesday. and watch how those contours here bring up some wind speeds going on into tuesday night. wednesday a lot of purple on our maps, winds drying us out and also bringing slightly warmer temperatures to the beaches. aside from the fire concerns, you're also going to start to be feeling really dry skin. so watch the 7-day forecast here 70 as i mentioned, we get some warmer temperatures.

windy though over the next couple of days. sunny skies throughout the bay area, but san francisco will also be a windy spot to be for those runners later on today. hanging out in the city post run and into the next couple of days, 60s and 70s. so even though we've got those beautiful skies and things are pretty calm, we do have to keep an eye for those fire concerns. the rain yesterday not enough to bring us out of those concerns for the time being. a good day though, to take down the halloween decorations, which you need to do before the winds kick in. yeah, but maybe not put up the thanksgiving and christmas decorations early just way too early. thank you so much. all right. we have more ahead on today in the bay coming up. it's a win. for the record books. we'll show you how bay fc made history in houston with a victory in the team's regular

football season already and not a satellite dish in sight! i hardly recognize the roofs i grew up on. enough squawkin'! oh great... coach prime! y'all are whining while everyone else is watching nonstop football on directv! tell me! whose house is this? their house? i think they're renting. listen, listen— i know they get easy access to all this football... but you know what you got? what, coach? a crumb bum attitude! now drop and give me twenty! twenty what?

only to win in overtime. the dubs in houston to take on the rockets. steph curry still out with a bad ankle. he will be reevaluated later today. the dubs come out on fire. buddy hield with the three ball from the corner pocket. warriors up 17 in the first. they would add to their lead in the second kyle anderson makes it a 31 point lead for golden state. but the rockets come storming back in the second half. they take their first lead of the game with just under six minutes to play. they force overtime in the extra period. jonathan kuminga takes over three huge buckets in the ot. the warriors win it 127 to 121. they have now won 14. in a row against the rockets and their three. and oh without curry in the lineup. we're so proud of the guys for the way they responded to what was an onslaught from houston. that second half and especially fourth quarter a bunch of times last year we were up 30, up 20

and we blew it and we lost. and you know, it shows that the group is resilient even without, you know, some of our key guys missing. and i think it's important for team morale. we had to come together. we had to figure it out. it was just us 15 on the bench and everyone else was against us. so i think it's big for the road trip, but it's also big for us in the locker room on the pitch. bay fc at houston for their regular season finale, tied at two in the second half, rachel conan with her second goal of the match. bay fc wins three two and becomes just the second expansion team in league history to make the playoffs. their 11 wins are the most ever by a franchise in their first season at the shark tank. san jose putting its three game winning streak on the line against vancouver. vancouver down a goal with less than 80s to go in the third. mikael granlund ties the score at two. but the canucks answer with just over 25 seconds to go and vancouver skates by san jose by the final of 3 to 2.

the bay's ginger conejero saab says someone attacked a passenger while he was sleeping on that flight. this week. still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding this violent attack on this flight that took off from sfo headed to dulles earlier in the week. a passenger who witnessed that fight says she's in the dark about why the suspect targeted another passenger. she says, according to texts sent to her by the victim, the victim had never met or even seen his attacker before. now, the united airlines flight left sfo for dulles on monday, when a couple of hours in a violent and unprovoked attack unexpectedly unfolded, and he was just violently attacking with his fists. the passenger that was directly in the seat in front of me. according to an fbi affidavit, passenger everett nelson had just left the lavatory when he physically attacked a sleeping male passenger, punching him

repeatedly in the face and head until blood was drawn. the witness that is speaking out about what she saw. sandhya gupta says another passenger restrained the attacker while she and another woman went to help the victim, who is deaf and nonverbal. the victim had gashes on his face. he had black eyes. he had bruises all over his fac. there was blood spatter. the normal protocol is to find an airport as quickly as you can to get on the ground. as i said, first for first aid for the victim, and second, to get the other person in custody. but the witness says instead of restraining the attacker, the flight crew took him to the front of the plane, where a crew member watched over him. she says passengers, including the victim, were on edge as they flew for three more hours to dulles. in a statement, united says thanks to the quick action of our crew and customers, one passenger was restrained after becoming physically aggressive toward another customer. the flight landed safely and was met by paramedics and local law

enforcement. we do know that federal aviation authorities are looking into the attack on this flight. after that investigation. hopefully more of those unanswered questions will become clear at sfo. ginger conejero saab today in the bay. thanks, ginger. san francisco police want help finding a missing teenager. please take a look at this picture. officers say 18 year old midway disappeared on halloween night. they say she was last seen around 11 p.m. near grove and larkin streets, not far from civic center. she's about five foot one and weighs 110 pounds. officers say she had on a white dress, black leggings and black heels. if you've seen her, please call san francisco police. happening tomorrow. testimony resumes in the high profile murder trial of nima momeni. he is the man accused of killing tech executive and cash app co-founder bob lee on thursday. the main focus in the

larry gerston joins us. all right, larry, will we learn the election results faster this time? you're on the spot. yeah. you know what? it's a mixed deal. kris. we're going to learn faster in some states that have sped up their processing new equipment. we're going to learn slower, learn slower. in other states, which have imposed more restrictions on the way that they count the votes. so it's a mixed bag. one thing we know for sure there will be major laggards, and we're not going to like who they are. pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona, all battleground states will be laggards. in arizona's case, it's because that maricopa county, which is of course, the largest county in arizona, has got a tremendous ballot, two two page ballot, which is going to make it very hard, but the others are just going to take a lot of time because of when they start counting. why is it that some states are more efficient than others? we have no national rules. we have no national rules when it comes to the voting throughout the country. it's state by state, by state. and so

because of that, you've got things like absentee voting, which in some states is easy to get, other states not easy. smaller windows, larger windows mail in ballots. again, some states allow them frequently. other states have cut back on the mail in boxes post election receipt for the ballots. some states say we want them within a day or two of the election. other states allow up to two weeks, depending upon where they're coming from. and then, of course, the recount rules and the processes, these things get very, very cumbersome, especially in this era of conspiracy where people think if a vote comes in late, something has gone wrong. no, usually, almost always, it's just the way things are going. people talk all the time about hidden ballots, about rigged elections. it just doesn't occur. are there countries around the world that do it the same as we do where there's local control? or do other countries do it where there is a national standard for

how votes are cast and counted? yes to both, yes to both. there are there are. does it right. oh gosh. you know some of the countries great britain does it pretty quickly. yeah. okay. but but it really it so depends on some of these countries. you know they have great rural areas and so things can collect, get collected for many many days, weeks sometimes. so it just varies. interesting. all right i'll put you on the spot again. realistically tuesday night or wednesday morning. when will we know if we have a blowout? you know, an election where, you know, it all falls into place? we could know late tuesday night. wednesday morning blowouts are unlikely. if we're going to have an election that's close, it could drag on as long as two weeks before we get all the results, probably by the weekend when we have a good idea. okay. bonus question what's your gut? do you think the pollsters got it right this time? or do you think they're going to have a little bit of humble pie again, like they have the past two elections? the

pollsters got it right because they're close. they're calling a very even election a very even election. and an even election means flip a coin. you don't know. there's going to be perhaps ten, 20, 30,000 votes in each state. several states that could make the difference. and you know what? when you got that kind of thing going, that's tough. and tens of thousands out of millions, that's that's razor thin out of 150, 160 million. yeah, yeah. you're going to be here tuesday night. all night. thank you. we appreciate it. we invite you to join us, too. all right, doctor christian. thank you so much. yes, sir. coming up next, a quick look at our top stories. a new twist for san jose state's volleyball team caught up in controversy

about a fire in the south bay on khoi drive. that's near oak grove high school. firefighters in san jose called for a second alarm at the two story, multi-family residential building. we're told it started burning around 430 this morning. medics took one person to the hospital, and right now the red cross is assisting ten others. people were displaced from four different units, but we're not sure how the fire started. all right. we're going to take a look at our top stories this morning, including san francisco police asking for help finding a missing teenager. take a look at this picture. officers say 18 year old maybelle way disappeared on halloween night. they say she was last seen around 11 p.m. near grove and larkin streets. not far from civic center. she's about five

foot one, weighs 110 pounds. officers say she had on a white dress, black leggings and black high heels. if you have seen he, please call san francisco police. more controversy for san jose state's volleyball team. the university says its associate head coach is, quote, not with the team at this time, melissa bates smoosh told the conservative outlet she was suspended indefinitely after filing a title nine complaint against sjsu. patti smith spoke with a different outlet, revealing specifics about the complaint in response to the original story. sjsu said it had, quote, significant concerns about breaches of student and employee privacy. this all stems from reports there is a transgender woman on the spartans squad. the team has not said whether the player in question has come out publicly as trans. but the spartans co-captain joined a lawsuit against the ncaa challenging rules that allow trans athletes

in women's sports. since then, at least five teams have refused to play san jose state. this week, boise state said it would forfeit against the team for a second time this season. the controversy has drawn concerns of transphobia and led to san jose state stepping up security around the team. happening tomorrow. one south bay community will move closer to perhaps closing schools tomorrow. alum rock superintendent will recommend which eight san jose schools to close and which two other schools should consolidate. we know cureton elementary and joseph george middle school are on the list. the school district says it has to pare down because enrollment is down. the board will make a final decision in one month. we are just two days away from election day. nonstop campaigning for vice president harris and former president trump in several states yesterday. both campaigning in battleground north carolina today. harris will be in
