like it's i don't always partake or like i don't always read on, you know, like the issues of the city i'm living in. but i definitely feel good about how i voted and how i researched the candidates. i will never miss this particular election, and i'm hoping that everything will be all right. in santa clara county, the registrar's office is scrambling to contact hundreds of voters in gilroy. this comes after a mapping mistake meant that some people got ballots without a specific race. nbc bay area's marianne favro is at the registrar's office with the story. you'll see only on nbc bay area. the acting county registrar of voters says that this issue impacts about 1200 voters in gilroy, who did not get a chance to vote for a trustee for gavilan college. that race has two candidates vying to be trustees for gavilan community college area four. but the

county says because of a mapping issue, when new college district boundaries were formed, people in district four didn't get to vote on the correct trustee race. as a result, about 1200 voters who should have been in trustee area four, which is a contest on the ballot, were not put into that contest. so we are trying to, you know, recover even though it's close to the election. we're trying to send out ballots to the to the voters who are impacted. we're also making phone calls and emails out to impacted voters. many of those voters have already mailed in their ballots. so the county is instructing them to head to a voting center in the next two days and cast a provisional ballot for just the gavilan college district trustee race. if they can't do that, their original ballot and votes for president. other races and issues will still count. we talked with impacted voters who are frustrated by this issue. we'll hear from them coming up at 11. in san jose, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. the

laughing about vice president kamala harris's surprise appearance on snl last night. it may have violated the fcc's equal time rules. that's according to a republican member of the federal communications commission. he says harris's cameo was, quote, a blatant effort to evade equal time rules. the equal time rule requires stations that broadcast a message by a candidate to offer the same amount of time to an opposing candidate. the trump campaign said the former president was not offered an snl appearance. spokesperson for the fcc says it has not received a formal complaint from any interested parties. the fcc member taking issue with the appearance was appointed to the commission in 2017 by then president trump. still ahead, a police impersonator in the north bay, he had police lights, a badge he even went as far as pulling someone over. the new real cops are looking for others who may have been stopped by that imposter. plus, grow where you are planted. a popular nursery is back open after a surprise shutdown just last

i first started doing this, i had to make it beautiful. and that she did in redwood city. several organizations teamed up for this dia de los muertos celebration. the event was held in front of the city's museum courthouse square. decorated with sugar skulls, marigolds, lots of lights you can see there were many elaborate altars or ofrendas, as they're called. the event also featured dancers, artists, musicians, crafts for kids all going to stay up through friday. nbc bay area and telemundo, by the way, are proud sponsors of this event, as well as the festival in oakland. a colorful and meaningful contest in san francisco's chinatown today. the chinatown merchants association organizes hand food contest. hanfu is a mandarin name for all the traditional styles of dress throughout china's history, and that history goes back more than 4000 years. participants chose a specific hand food to showcase for the crowd. some also performed, as one of the hosts

explains, the event went far beyond a celebration of fashion. china has a very rich history, and each dynasty has its own costume and the way people wear represents that entire hundreds of years of history and the way people used to dress up and do things. yeah, the hanfu contest was held at the great star theater. okay, this one is funny. three women are taking their love of actor dev patel and turning it into a contest. the friends are organizing a dev patel lookalike contest in san francisco next sunday. they got the idea after a similar event was held in new york for timothee chalamet, a lookalike contest for him. that event drew thousands of people, including timothée chalamet, who showed up. the women say they created the event expecting a small gathering, but now more than 130 people have already rsvp'd. they say that the contest won't just be about the slumdog millionaire star, but it's kind of an excuse to have fun and meet new people, a lot of whom may look like dev

patel. i think we're just looking for someone who's like, really passionate about this too. like, i feel like you don't really necessarily have to look exactly like dev patel. you just kind of have to bring the energy and you have to lean into the bit. you have to lean into the bit for sure. exactly. you have to lean into it. so he's got to have the dev patel energy. like the vibe. the winner will get 50 bucks presented on a large check. and a monkey man statue. the contest again is next sunday at the miguel hidalgo statue in dolores park. it starts at 1:00. terry, don a wig. see if you can pull it off. you know what? i don't think i have a chance of looking like him. i know some people who do look like him, though. all right, well, we both do, but they might not want their names mentioned right now. anyway, let that go. returning to our weather coverage. look at that. gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. the golden gate bridge. anytime, day or night. we've learned that at least 15,000 customers across 17 different counties have been notified by pg&e they could get their power shut off this week, and that includes some parts of

napa, sonoma, contra costa, santa clara and alameda counties. we're expecting more details from pg&e tomorrow, including how this could impact polling stations. but right now, before we get the official word from pg&e, you know where the winds are going to be blowing this week. it was really windy by my house this afternoon. it just dramatically started picking up. this really is round one and the reason for the power safety shut offs likely coming from tuesday through thursday. according to pg&e, over three days possibly impacting part of the evening on tuesday. certainly tuesday night and wednesday. so let's get right to the headlines. the reason why pg&e has put out that power safety shut off heads up is because the second round of winds coming in for tuesday night and wednesday is likely to be stronger and affecting more areas than the mainly mountain top gusts we've seen this weekend. tonight, mountain top areas will have those gusts about 50mph, but more locations could see some of those peak wind gusts getting down to the lower elevations as well, which could have the power and tree

impacts along with elevated fire danger. we'll take a closer look at those winds hour by hour. coming up in one minute. right now, 61 degrees in san jose. we did have wind speeds earlier, close to 30mph, 55 degrees in walnut creek. windy atop mount diablo. not so much right now in downtown walnut creek at 58 degrees. currently in san francisco. so for the mountains, as you wake up tomorrow morning, elevations above 2000ft likely still seeing those gusts near 50mph, but down into the lower elevations, the valleys. we're expecting mainly breezy conditions to start the day. and if it was not for the wind, our temperatures tomorrow are actually very pleasant. offshore winds tend to bring temperatures up, and you can see by our highs tomorrow low to mid 70s through the santa clara valley, tri-valley and even some 70s bay side around oakland. a little bit warmer tomorrow. san mateo still looking at upper 60s closer to sfo. downtown san francisco 70 degrees and one side of those offshore winds. look at the temperature in santa rosa. that is the downsloping

warming effect of offshore wind. could be close to 80 for tomorrow. now, here is the pattern that has us concerned in that tuesday night into wednesday time frame. another area of low pressure drops in east of the sierra, and that sets into motion some pretty strong wind gusts picking up in the 6 p.m. to 8:00 hour. this is on election evening. so as polls close, wind gusts in the north bay mountains could be above 40mph, but also notice these areas in purple getting down to the bay shore areas, even san francisco. as you roll into tuesday night and wednesday, where those wind gusts with the second event could be above 50 to 60mph in the hills of the north bay and the diablo range. similar trend as we look at that same timeline for the central bay area. right around the time polls close, you could see oakland and out towards san francisco, gusts between 20 to maybe 40mph, and then the peak winds coming in after 8:00 tuesday night into early wednesday morning. and then still seeing those blustery, strong wind gusts hanging out in

the north bay as we head into wednesday night. now, the wind speeds should start to back off as we get into thursday and friday. rain chances for now, look a little bit too far north to impact us in the bay area, so it'd be nice to get more rain considering those dry offshore winds we're looking at through the middle part of the week, but right now looks like that rain line mainly fixed in mendocino county northward. moving forward into next weekend. so a lot of wind icons across the first half of the week and that 7-day forecast. but the strongest winds likely to roll in right after sundown on election night. so it is with good cause. i think folks will be wanting to check in with pg&e to see how that could impact power at some electronic voting areas, perhaps in the north bay. very problematic in the east bay. that is something we'll be watching closely as those wind speeds will be picking up around that time tuesday evening through wednesday morning. of all days. rob, thanks very much. all right. betting on the president placing a bet on elections is now legal in the u.s. critics have their concerns

how they say it could impact the outcome of the election. and we got a heads up for you as you head to the polls this tuesday. if you're in the south bay, vta is offering free rides on busses and light rail so you can vote on election day. get there for free. it starts at 7:00 tuesday morning goes through 8 p.m. when the polls close, we're back in a moment.

political action committee that gave away $1 million a day to registered voters in swing states as long as they signed a petition last week. musk did not show up to a court ordered appearance in philadelphia. the case moved forward without him. the judge deciding to return the case to state court. now, musk new hearing is set tomorrow morning. philadelphia district attorney there brought the lawsuit against musk, accusing

him and the pac of supporting donald trump and running an illegal lottery. well, as you know, in america, you can bet on all sorts of things sports, severe weather. and as a few weeks ago, you can add election outcomes to that. election bets were approved legally two weeks ago. commodity futures trading commission has consistently blocked bets on elections. but that changed last month when a u.s. district court cleared the way. now, several companies are offering election betting on everything from senate contests to, yes, the presidential race. critics say it could convince people that their vote won't count, or it might influence people's vote. polymarket is one of the crypto based betting markets. one person recently bet $28 million on trump, and that has raised concern that a handful of large wagers could move the odds and public perception with it. $30 million to generate millions of impressions that can control a news cycle actually works out incredibly in terms of bang for buck. this is some of the most

effective advertising you could buy. know that other countries, like the uk and australia, have allowed election gambling for years now. all right. at this point, it feels like we've just about heard it all when it comes to innovative foods. here, however, is a new one and we hope you've eaten dinner already. restaurants using fungus to create new dishes out of food waste. that sounds tasty, doesn't it? nbc's maya eaglin visits a high end restaurant to show us how it works and how it tastes. blue hill restaurant at stone barns is famous for its innovative cuisine, wealthy clientele, and now fungus grown on food waste. if i saw this for the first time, i would not think this is food. this is a fungus that is most common in indonesia. it is used to produce a food called oncom. you grow the fungus on different forms of food waste, everything from stale bread to leftover rice from our staff meals. when you say leftover

rice, is that coming off of someone's plate or is that leftover in the pot? it is leftover in the pot. the fungus grows in about two days, so this is essentially oat bran leveling up the nutritional value of foods like this rice bread. there's a final product in here. yes. this is the incubator where everything is basically growing over the course of the two days it takes. and this allows us to control the temperature and the humidity. so that's the perfect growing conditions for the fungus. you can eat it raw, but the chefs here serve it pan fried with a dash of salt. but the most important question how does it taste? it doesn't taste bad, but it's definitely interesting. i think seeing it before that has like kind of like a wow factor to it, but it tastes fine. no, i mean, this is very familiar to me. this looks like cheesy toast. so why even eat this fungus in the first place when cheesy toast is an option in the us, we throw out nearly 40% of our food supply

every single year. that contributes to increased greenhouse gas emissions, higher risk of compromising our water supplies, and major economic losses. so there's a lot of different things that this fungus can grow on. blue hill partnered with neurosport expert doctor vargas heilman to develop this process. we found is that it can grow on many, many other types of waste substrates. you know, cashew milk, waste, oat milk, waste fruit and vegetable, you know, juice waste. the other thing that we found is that the fungus is safe. it doesn't produce any toxins. and then finally we did some sensory trials. we tested this fungus with people in denmark who found it quite delicious and quite appealing. so we sort of checked the boxes of it grows so many different things. it's tasty and it's safe. i have to ask you about the ick factor here. how do you get people over the mental hump of being open to trying something like this? so our job as chefs is to take that unfamiliar and make it familiar. i think the first step in doing

that is it has to be delicious. and that's what we're working on. so our criteria our bar is this something that you want another bite of. still the cost to try these creations at this fine dining restaurant could be out of reach for the average american price point, though. what are we talking about? we're thinking of doing something in the cafeteria that you could come in and just buy in the form of bread. so that might be $5. and then if you had a meal here, you know, you're looking at a couple of hundred dollars. i think the point of this work is to be able to spread these ideas, not necessarily scale them. that for us is incredibly important. how can the things that we make in this lab be delicious so that people actually want to go out of their way to purchase them? bettering our food systems and the environment. one brave bite at a time. maya ecklund, nbc news. up next, we continue our decision 2024 coverage with the latest from both campaigns. in that final countdown to election day. plus, calling the race, we take

you inside our nbc news decision desk a closer look at how the team will call this historic presidential race. he lost his insurance coverage after speaking up about suspected fraud, and he says you're paying a price for it, too. i'm chmura. nbcvestigator chris

mcsweeney. i'm jessica aguirre. if you're just joining us now, we're on at a later time because of sunday night football. tonight, vice president kamala harris and former president trump are neck and neck in the race for the presidency. two days away from election day. and when it's this close, neither candidate can take their foot off the gas. and both made multiple stops in battleground states today. nbc's garrett haake is traveling with the trump campaign in georgia. tonight, dueling strategies from dueling campaigns in the race's closing weekend. a noticeably angry donald trump hammering

kamala harris in central pennsylvania at his first of three planned rallies in three states today. that horrible, terrible, the worst ever vice president lashing out at democrats. but it's a very demonic party. the former president remarking on the bulletproof glass that mostly enclosed him on stage, noting that anyone who might want to shoot him would have to fire through the reporters covering him. and i have this piece of glass here, but all we have really over here is the fake news, right? and to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. and i don't mind that. so much. trump's campaign later issuing a statement that did not disavow his remarks, reading in part, quote, president trump was stating that the media was in danger in that they were protecting him and therefore were in great danger themselves. also making headlines after rfk jr. saying a new trump

administration would, quote, advise all u.s. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. trump today telling nbc news the fluoride removal idea quote sounds okay to me. so good to worship with you. meanwhile, harris focusing on michigan trying to energize black voters at a church in detroit this morning. when i think about the days ahead and the god we serve, we were born for such a time as this. and later, at a black owned business outside of detroit and reaching out to arab and muslim voters angry about the administration's handling of the war in the middle east. we need to end the war, and we need to get the hostages out. and as president of the united states, i will do everything in my power to achieve that end. and a two state solution. overnight, harris making a surprise appearance on saturday night live, giving the show's version of herself a pep talk. the american people want to stop the chaos and end the drama with a cool new stepmom to kick back in

our pajamas and watch a rom kamala like legally blond ella and start. all right, that was garrett hake reporting. now, with just 48 hours left to reach undecided voters, activists passionate about women's issues hit the phones in san jose today. some 150 leaders from across the political spectrum joined forces to reach voters by phone. the focus was local to the city of san jose and the county of santa clara, but it also included talk of the presidential candidates as well as phone bank. organizers say they wanted to make sure that voters were informed and to make women's issues and family issues a priority. this election. we're going to continue to be here until 8 p.m. on tuesday, and that is again because, you know, working families are values and our priorities are going to be on the ballot. we know that we need some champions, you know, who are going to be up front and really helping us get to the root of the problem with

housing, you know, with working families, making sure that we have representation, that we need. most of today's volunteers were women and as you heard, the phone bank is going to be up and running until the polls close on election night. well, tonight we are getting an inside look at how nbc news calls the elections. nbc's tom llamas is taking us inside the 2024 decision desk, where historic calls will be made. he joined nbc's director of elections. as the team gears up to make those pivotal calls. really, when it comes down to it, how we're going to be able to get to a call is how much of the vote in and what is the spread. so what is the difference between the first place candidate and the second place candidate? when viewers are watching, they may see one news organization projects a winner and another news organization is waiting. why does nbc news wait? so we wait because the only thing we care about is getting it right. you can join nbc news and nbc bay area on election night for our coverage. our team is going to be here on the ground all

across the bay area as well, and of course, all across the country. our election day coverage begins tuesday morning on today in the bay. then stay with nbc for live coverage on air starting at two in the afternoon. we'll also be streaming local results online and on our nbc bay area streaming channel starting at 8:00. the second the polls close, you can point your phone camera at the qr code right there on the screen to download our nbc bay area app. and there you can stream our live coverage. we'll also send breaking election alerts straight to your phone. all right. tonight the complaints just keep piling up a list of bay area viewers reaching out to our response team about losing their property insurance. that list just keeps growing. well, they created their own insurance crisis. that was bobby von mayor thao. he joins philip maria spencer and so many others. but von mertz's case has a twist. actually, a lot of them, he told consumer investigator chris chmura. his policy is a puzzling poster child for why our insurance rates are so high. no,

i just called sycamore apartments. bobby von murda has rented out these newark apartments for almost four decades. i built them in 1970, 87, and i've owned them that long. getting insurance here has been easy until now, but don't blame wildfires, winter storms or inflation. von mayor thao says he's unable to get insurance today because a former tenant hustled him and his insurance company during the pandemic. this is extortion. here's what happened. von mayor thao says the tenant moved out quietly, but then sued him for at least $100,000, claiming he'd rented her an uninhabitable apartment. she never complained about the habitability of her apartment. ever. never. if she had, i would have been on it. in this small complex of just 12 apartments, neighbors talk. longtime resident here, 2017 dave skidmore, says he never heard his neighbor complain about her apartment being uninhabitable. no, no, not a

word. i was actually very surprised that there were any complaints about habitation. von mayor thao says his insurance companies got involved and ordered an independent review. he showed us the experts conclusion the tenants complaint was almost entirely devoid of facts. i'm no slumlord. i take care of my places. von mayor thao expected his insurance companies to fight. but no, they did something he did not expect. they paid out $150,000 to settle the case. 150 grand. we wanted to know why. one company declined to speak to us. the other didn't respond. this is the half bath von mayor thao says reps did talk to him and told him it was just cheaper to settle for 150 grand, rather than litigate and rack up legal fees. bobby was, and still is furious at his insurance companies. it was all fraud. you know, they're really not

suffering the consequences. the people who are buying the insurance are. he's not the only one saying that. it's a huge problem. michelle rothfeld heads the coalition against insurance fraud. it's a group of government fraud investigators, insurance companies and academics. the group calculates that fraud cost insurance carriers more than $300 billion a year, which they pass on to us. an individual in the course of their lifetime stands to lose $73,000 to insurance fraud in the form of higher premiums. ryan held says consumers like you should report any suspected fraud in contacting the appropriate authorities. so something can be done about it at the get go. is so key. and that's exactly what bobby von murda did. local, state. federal. i told them this was fraud. immediately right off the bat, that none of this ever happened. no one has pursued his case. von murda says everyone's paying a little more for insurance because his insurance

companies caved. well, they created their own insurance crisis. he says he lost his coverage over this episode, but he hasn't lost his appetite for accountability. i'm ready anytime. he's still hungry for law enforcement to take a second look at his chapter of california's insurance crisis. take these people to task for what they did, and i hope something comes to this story, chris, i really do. if you've lost your insurance in this crisis, we are eager to hear from you. please tell us about it like bobby did just snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form online. up next, an unexpected announcement from dawson's creek star james van der beek. what? he's revealing about a new health battle. also attacked by a shark not once, but twice on the same beach. a surfer shares his story while recovering from that latest attack.

london breed became mayor in the middle of the night. led our city through the darkest days of covid, saving thousands of lives. london breed is battle tested and proven in crisis. san francisco is coming back. we're witnessing progress every day. unlike her opponents, london is the only candidate who, on day one, will keep our city moving forward. we can't go backward by electing a candidate who needs on the job training. with london breed, san francisco is on the rise, again.

diagnosed with colorectal cancer. 47 year old announced his diagnosis in an interview with people magazine that was published today. actor says that he's feeling well and is undergoing the treatment with the support of his family in southern california. one person is dead after a boat capsized near redondo beach. 26 foot vessel overturned this afternoon when first responders arrived, they found five people clinging onto the boat. a dive team was called in to search for one missing person. that person was later found dead inside the cabin of the boat. the survivors were taken to the harbor to be evaluated. it is not clear at this point what caused that boat to overturn. a shark attack at a popular surf spot on maui. has the beach closed tonight? a 61

year old was surfing at a popular spot known as sand piles. this is early friday morning. the man was sitting on his board. the shark swam up and bit his leg. first responders say it was completely severed just below the knee. the man's family says he's a regular at that spot. lifeguards have closed that beach park until further notice, and they are patrolling the waters now. get this. in florida, a shark attack victim is recovering days after being bitten on both feet while surfing. and incredibly, it's not the first time that same surfer was attacked on the same beach more than a decade ago. nbc's joe fryer has his story. reporter. shark. what i knew instantly it was a shark. having known the feeling before it happened at florida's bathtub beach, charter boat captain and former competitive surfer colt cashman says he was paddling just past the reef and what he thinks was a 7 to 8 foot shark hit him from behind. he got both

my feet. i could see his nose was wider than my feet, and i was like, okay, i'm back. and his. it happened so fast. he was in a split second. cashman says his friends, fellow surfers, immediately came to his aid. his girlfriend captured the dramatic moments from the shore on the beach. his friends used their surf leashes to form a tourniquet and stop the bleeding as they raced to the nearest hospital. everyone asked, why didn't you call 911? and it's like we are 911. i got 93 stitches. i had two surgeries to repair my tendons and i have about 10 or 15 staples. i'll be in a wheelchair, probably about a month and hopefully getting back on the boat within three months or so. this incident, cole says, much more serious than the first time he was bitten. comparing a high school athlete to an olympic athlete is the difference between these two bites. that first time in 2013,

when cashman was just 16, i was wading into about waist deep water on the same reef and i jumped over a wave and wham! but that one was a little reef pup. the scars right here. and even though the chances of ever being attacked by a shark, let alone twice, are extremely low, cashman says he does not feel unlucky. i feel incredibly blessed and incredibly lucky considering i have all my toes and my achilles did not get severed. i'm lucky to even have the back half of my foot. you know, honestly and i'm also lucky to be here. okay. the third time is not going to be the charm. so stay out. stay away. yeah, that was joe fryer reporting. okay. we're going to take you outside. now. this is a san jose live look downtown. the night looks nice. it looks crisp. it doesn't really look that windy right now. rob that's a great point jessica. we're not going to see those strong winds around the valleys including places in san jose though a different story tonight across the mountain tops of the north bay and the east bay hills.

gusts above 50mph. this followed up by a stronger wind event for election night and wednesday. the timine on that, andel

disavowed. it will in some way enact some of the proposals. nbc news polling shows that the project 2025 is widely known among voters, but also deeply unpopular. only 7% of voters approve of some of those conservative policy proposals, in that the document wants to remove all mention of climate change from federal government, and its proposals could also impact communities, as they're trying to recover from more frequent and more extreme disasters. national climate reporter chase cain digs into how it's targeting weather and climate science. covering more than 900 pages, project 2025 is nearly two reams of paper and its proposals for climate change essentially call for two things stop researching it and stop

talking about it. but global scientific consensus agrees. climate change is largely driven by humans burning fossil fuels. but project 2025 denies that. eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere and in training videos obtained by propublica presents a blatant lie to justify reversing climate action. now, when i think of climate change, i immediately think of population control, don't you? when we reached out to the think tank behind project 2025, the heritage foundation, a spokesperson said anyone can read the document to see what we actually call for and when you do, you'll read about major cuts and changes to the epa, fema, the national weather service, even proposing that noaa should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated. it's so bizarre, right? i mean, how many americans are sitting around their kitchen table right now with their family looking over bills and the cost of living and thinking to themselves, what are we going to do about noaa and the weather service? i mean,

literally, i can think about 99 problems and noaa ain't one of them. project 2025 has sweeping plans for noaa agencies to fully commercialize the national weather service, sidelined the national climate assessment and says noaa's climate change research should be disbanded, even though that research helps improve forecasts and keep americans safe. that's why everybody gets up each and every day to come in here and do their research so that the public have the knowledge, the understandin, the information to make decisions that are critical for them and their families. but i am concerned that they don't want to support any of the research that goes into why are these storms getting worse? because they don't like the answer, because it's an inconvenient answer. if you are wanting to support fossil fuels. craig fugate led fema under president obama. and climate change aside, he says project 2025 could decimate communities impacted by disasters by slashing federal aid to just 25% of the total damage. it almost

becomes unthinkable that states would ever be able to recover without long, costly recovery periods that would come out of state and local budgets. during september's debate, i don't want to read it. former president trump distanced himself from the plan, despite it being largely written by former officials from his administration. his campaign told us that only the president and not any other organization or former staff represent policies for the second term. however, mr. trump nodded to project 2025. in a 2022 speech to the heritage foundation, the group that wrote it. this is a great group and they're going to lay the groundwork and detailed plans for exactly what our movement will do. and even in the trump administration, their climate report pointed out, these were the things we were already seeing, and they were increasing extreme heat and extreme rainfall events. so just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean the information isn't important. you know, how do we prepare ourselves if we ignore what is coming? i'm national climate reporter chase cain. now we have

a page on our website dedicated to stories about climate crisis. to check those out, visit our website. go to nbcbayarea.com. slash climate in crisis. outside we go once again. live. look across the bay from our emeryville camera on this sunday night. and that is a beautiful shot. nice and clear and a gorgeous day leading into a gorgeous night. right, rob? yeah, and not too windy. the camera is not moving around much. yeah, during the day it was breezy but fell back. yes. we did. the extra hour of sleep was nice. yeah, this is the nice part of the time change spring. not so much. yeah. you lose that sleep again, but at least tonight you're not going to be losing much sleep. i think in terms of wind gusts in the valleys or bay side. but boy, tuesday, election night and wednesday, that could be a different story as we see the potential of stronger winds moving into the bay area right now. earlier today, san francisco winds above 20mph, but relatively light at the moment at 58 degrees 55 in walnut creek. winds earlier about 25mph, and similar wind speeds in san jose were at 61 degrees.

winds are offshore, which is the reason why tomorrow's high temperatures will be climbing through the 70s. but first, let's talk about the wind tonight. peak wind gusts mainly confined to the mountains. those will be the areas of the north bay diablo range. santa cruz mountains will have gusts above 45mph at times, but the second wind event for election night on into wednesday that has higher wind speeds, potentially affecting a larger area. so we'll give you the timeline on that coming up in a moment. first up tonight, notice these areas in purple showing you locations mainly up in the higher elevations above 2000ft. that could have those wind gusts above 40mph. and notice there's not a lot bayside closer to san francisco or even across some of those interior valleys of the tri-valley, or down into san jose. mostly up here in the higher hills. peak wind gusts tonight from about now to about 5 a.m. and then by midday tomorrow, wind speeds will relax. just a bit before they ramp up again. later on tuesday. so morning temperatures, if you got the winds going you're going to wake up to mid 50s. so not

really a chilly start. and by lunchtime and into the afternoo. highs tomorrow low to mid 70s in san jose and near 70 around san francisco. low 70s into oakland. now what will set into motion the stronger wind pattern comes in on tuesday night and wednesday. low pressure dropping into the east. that pressure gradient starts to build up. now look at these peak wind speeds. we're about 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on election night. notice there's a lot more purple now down into the lower elevations here. bayside marin county two. we'll have to watch the timing on that, because that's critical for pg&e to start to determine which areas may see those isolated power shutoffs. likely looking at the window from midnight to about sunrise wednesday to see those peak wind speeds inland and then wind speeds starting to come down a little bit during the day wednesday. but notice the north bay may continue to see those gusty winds even into wednesday night. so the timeline farther south, winds increasing san francisco, santa cruz mountains, east bay hills, and north bay through about midday wednesday and then wind speeds slowly

coming down a bit but staying still pretty gusty in the north bay on into wednesday night. no, by thursday and friday, the pattern responsible for the gusty winds starts to break down. rain chances do get a little bit closer to the bay area, but as things stand right now, looks like most of those chances will be around mendocino county northward. so we'll bring some cooler temperatures and more clouds into next weekend's forecast, but we'll worry about that after we get through the wind this week, as we got the wind mainly for the mountains tonight and then all areas heading into tuesday evening into wednesday, we could not only just see those potential pg&e outages, but if we have tree damage, you could see some localized power outages with that, as well. we'll have to watch that closely heading into wednesday morning because we can't have enough drama on election night. no, the weather will be a factor. looks like wow. all right anthony flores joining us now. got some some niner news. yeah. you know it was great today i got up had some breakfast, got on my recliner so i don't have to do anything today but watch football because 49ers aren't

playing right. but tomorrow. yeah, it is back to work for the 49ers cmc. he's missed the entire season, but is he finally ready to go? stick around and find out. sports i

49ers. yeah. the hope is that guy, not that guy. cmc there he is right there. we'll be on the field tomorrow when they hold a bonus workout. why a bonus workout while the team is returning from a bye? they were off last week after beating the cowboys last sunday night. now the niners are four and four midway through the season. injuries have been a factor. christian mccaffrey has missed the entire season due to achilles tendinitis in both feet. he's also dealing with a calf issue. now first he has to practice and have no setbacks before the niners will decide if he's able to make his debut next sunday at tampa bay. the

expectation is to see how he is when he gets back, and then evaluate him as he goes. you know, i mean, of course, the hope is that everything just goes back to normal and it's, you know, perfect. but that's what we're all striving for. but you got to play that out smartly. and you got to evaluate that each day. what we see with our own eyes, what he tells us. and we will all be watching tomorrow at practice around the nfl. the silver and black in the queen city to take on the bengals. not many highlights, but there's one of them. jack jones picks it off. takes it back to the house 29 yards for the touchdown. then the game in the fourth pretty much out of reach. but desmond ridder hits the pride of napa. brock bowers for the touchdown. the raiders would fire their offensive coordinator and they lose big to the bengals 41 to 24. following a legend is never easy, but that is the challenge facing kate. pay on the farm tomorrow. the cardinal tip off a new era of women's basketball. now pay. spent 17 years as an assistant under tara vanderveer. now she's

the head coach. along with the pressure of replacing the game's all time winningest coach. pay has the challenge of guiding the cardinal through their first season in the acc, and for the first time in 25 years, stanford is not ranked in the preseason top 25. i love stanford basketball. it's an incredible honor, responsibility, opportunity to lead this program into the next chapter. but this is not about me. this is about the women on our team. this is their opportunity. and we want to have a fantastic year. and it's all going to be about working extremely hard, being very unselfish and continuing to stay healthy and improve. and some baseball news. defense wins championships and some hardware. giants third baseman matt chapman earned his fifth career gold glove that's tied for eighth most in baseball history, and giants catcher patrick bailey was also honored by the national league. he's the first giants catcher to win the award since buster posey in 2016. all right, we mentioned cmc might be

back. so many people have been injured for the 49ers jn.1 jennings. dre greenlaw might be expected to be back. he blew out his achilles in the super bowl. and talanoa hufanga, who's been dealing with a wrist injury all expected hopefully to be back in practice this week. and we could see them playing in a week or two. that's good news. very good. certainly is. they need it. thank you anthony. thanks. halloween is over. now it's time to get ready for thanksgiving. macy's is doing just that with the first test of parade floats this year marks the 98th macy's thanksgiving parade. it's going to feature 17 giant character balloons, 22 floats, 11 marching bands, new and returning characters will take flight for the holiday tradition. it begins 830 in the morning, november 28th, and you can watch it right here on nbc bay area. many will be there and that is a fact. oh look how cute! i love watching those big balloons. all right, that's going to do it for us. we will be back again at 11:00. so
