cloud coverage overnight not anything crazy. our overnight low temperatures are going to be chilly, if not a little bit comfortable, across much of the area. coastal communities are going to see overnight lows in the 50s, north bay communities even in the upper 40s. it's going to be a chilly night of weather ahead of us across the bay area. a light jacket will be necessary waking up early tomorrow morning. something i want to show you all, pay attention to the colors i'm going to pull up underneath me because today it was warm, but overnight the areas in green

means cooler temperatures. look at tomorrow night, how much less green we're seeing because overnight low temperatures are not going to recover nearly as much as the heatwave builds in. look at all the heat that's going to build across the area. this is wednesday afternoon temperatures. they're going to be well above 100 degrees inland, likely up to 103 in livermore, 102 in antioch where the heat again is going to be the highest in our inland-most communities. closer to the coast, not nearly as hot, more yellow and orange, but it's the reason we have a heat advisory in place but not across the entirety of the bay area. it's just our inland east bay communities and the central valley in california also has this heat advisory in effect, but overall it is going to be very hot over the next couple days. tomorrow afternoon's high temperatures are going to be warm. they are going to be the reason the heat advisory does begin. tomorrow, yes, it's going to be hot, but it just depends where you're

located, how much this heat will build. it's going to be hot across the bay area starting tomorrow and the heat is only going to continue into wednesday and thursday. tuesday, wednesday, thursday are the three biggest days of the heatwave we will keep our eyes on, mid-90s returning by the end of the work week into the weekend. kind of just depends where you're located. even across places near the bay upper 90s to low 80s this time of year, very hot and those of us that don't have air conditioning, heat safety is going to be top priority. on this labor day the democratic presidential ticket is focusing on labor groups working to bolster support among unions in pennsylvania. meanwhile the republican nominee is taking a short break from campaigning. skyler henry reports from the white house. >> reporter: president biden and vice president kamala

harris are together again campaigning at a union hall in pittsburgh. it's their first campaign event together since harris was elevated on the democratic ticket as the presidential nominee. >> i promise you if you elect kamala harris as president, it will be the best decision you will have ever made. >> reporter: earlier harris was in the battleground state of michigan greeting workers in the union stronghold of detroit. >> when i am president, we will pass the pro act and end union busting once and for all. >> reporter: her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, met with labor leaders in his state before speaking at a labor day event in milwaukee. >> vice president harris as a protector of democracy, when we win this election, we'll have your back just like you've had our back. >> reporter: the campaign says the biden-harris administration is the most pro labor in history and claims the trump administration was antiworker and antiunion. union members are an important base of support in this year's election. >> very important for democrats, a key part of the

biden 2020 coalition harris is looking to replicate this time around. >> give it up for president donald j. trump. >> reporter: the republican nominee took a break from campaigning this holiday weekend, criticizing the current administration's immigration policies at an event friday night. >> many of these people are criminals. many of these people are coming out of the roughest countries in the world. >> reporter: the campaigns are intensifying with a little more than two months to go until election day. in milwaukee there was a three-vehicle crash today involving vans transporting governor walz's staffers to his event. governor walz and his wife were ahead of the accident and not hurt. two of his staff were taken to the hospital, one for a broken arm. still ahead, if the upcoming election has you plain stressed out, you are definitely not alone. >> this seems to be an acute enough stressor that some people are really struggling. >> coming up, we'll talk with

a bay area researcher about election anxiety and how to keep calm as we get closer to november.

take that up a little bit higher. you should feel that, like, right back here. oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are.

just about two months until election day. the political messages, ads, social media reels are coming at us fast. if you feel more tense than usual, you're probably not imagining it. new research shows politics can make people feel uneasy, even if they don't generally suffer from anxiety. cbs' tom hanson shows us how one group is working to help people ease the stress. >> you can believe somebody's ignorant without disdaining them. >> reporter: it's not very often that libraries encourage talking. >> i'm a leftist and i'm deeply frustrated, you know, by

sort of like the direction my camp has taken. >> reporter: here in rockland county, new york. >> things that are untenable are happening. >> reporter: this one is full of chatter. the people at this braver angels workshop are learning to cope with their political anxiety with open minds and ears. >> each time something happens i find my anxiety going up. >> reporter: moderator robert weintraub joined the organization when his anxiety over politics was at an all time high. >> i can understand why the american people are frustrated. >> economically and the cultural wars and that fear turns into a kind of depression. >> reporter: now he's helping a growing number of people who feel the same. according to new research, one in three americans admit to losing sleep over politics. 40% of americans say politics are a significant source of stress and after recent elections more than 10% of americans even show signs of

ptsd. >> this seems to be an acute enough stressor that some people are really struggling. >> reporter: political professor kevin smith co-authored the study. >> one of the things we've pretty consistently found is that one in 20 american adults say that they've had suicidal thoughts because of politics. communicating with people face to face as opposed to trying to shut yourself off in an information bubble, i think that would be a good and healthy thing to do. >> i've been living nine months of really hell. almost nothing is keeping this anxiety from being front and center. >> reporter: do you think you could reach some common ground with a strong supporter of israel? >> i have conversations with my zionist friends all the time and it's like every time i have it they take like a beating, but i keep reaching out because i feel we have to

continue talking. >> we're not going to be able to necessarily avoid the anxiety that conflict brings for each of us on different sides, but we can reduce the anxiety that is brought about by this stereotyping and contempt and disdain that we seem to have for each other. >> reporter: easing anxiety through the art of conversation. >> joining me now is ucsf physician and health policy researcher dr. brandon yang. thanks so much for being with us on this holiday. >> thank you for having me on. >> there is so much negative rhetoric out there from both politicians themselves, but also voters, do you blame social media for this? is this different from past elections? >> i think there's a confluence of so many things that's happening here in the

2024 election. it's economic insecurity. it's war in gaza, war in ukraine. it's reproductive rights on the ballot. so i understand why people are rightly anxious and worried about the upcoming election. at the same time it's worrying to us here in healthcare that people are experiencing high levels of anxiety and worry about the election. social media certainly makes it worse in many ways because it's harder to escape exposure to politics and these thoughts and this rhetoric that's going around. >> yeah. it is so extreme it feels like. it is so negative and so many folks out there feel there's so much at stake with this election and that the outcome will have a profound impact on their future, their children's future. so how should people mentally prepare for the possibility that their candidate may lose? >> it's a great point you bring up because in the research we've done and looked at, certainly when an election turns out a way that's different from expectation, that tends to take a much

different and greater hit on mental health in an election when you see an outcome you didn't want coming. in this particular election the polls are sort of neck and neck there. so the anticipation of that i would recommend is to prepare yourself for either scenario, to play it out in your head exactly what would happen, how you would respond to whether one or the other candidate wins so that you're prepared for either outcome. >> in the bay area and san francisco especially has been the target of politicians and pundits really painting the city as, frankly, sort of a lawless hell scape. after time that can impact someone who lives here. how do you suggest folks deal with that messaging on their home? >> absolutely. actually in hearing from my own patients, a lot of their election anxiety is related to local politics and what san francisco is going to look like after this next election with a mayors race,

several supervisors, several ballot measures. what i say is think about -- and this is protective for all elements of mental health and all issues -- think about the positive. think about the joy in the city. think about the directions where we are going right and actually see the election as an opportunity to turn the image of san francisco, to make a difference and to vote how you want the future to look like. so it can be both a source of anxiety and a source of hope and opportunity. >> great point because there's so much beauty in this city as well. how do you suggest people stay informed but not get so overloaded with all the information? >> yeah. that's one of the hardest balances to strike. i think an important way to look at politics is to approach it with a mindset of curiosity. in an increasingly polarized nation, i think we often look at it in terms of who is right, who is wrong, who is lying, who is telling the truth. approach it with a mindset of curiosity.

interrogate the facts, what people are saying, but have an open mind and make up your thoughts as you hear that and also not to villainize people that may feel differently from you. i think that ultimately leads to a society where we can have productive conversations and try to move together as a community to grow the nation, grow san francisco and communities where we live. >> yeah. productive and respectful conversations are the ticket. thank you so much. >> absolutely. thank you. there's a lot of division and finger pointing as we get closer to the election, but there's also an effort to bridge the divide between americans who don't see eye to eye. cbs' jim axelrod has that story. >> reporter: this cocktail party in columbus, georgia -- >> we start to dehumanize each other, that's extremely dangerous. >> reporter: -- is actually one man's attempt to bridge our national civic divide. >> you all had the courage to

say enough. >> reporter: dave issay runs one small step, an initiative that pairs people from opposite ends of the political spectrum to a one-hour conversation. >> the big dream for one small step is to convince our country it's our patriotic duty to see the humanity in people with whom we disagree. i think we're all brainwashed. >> reporter: we don't hate each other. >> no. when you actually have the experience of being in contact with other people, it washes away. >> reporter: shawna hartley and roxanne gwynn both fit the bill. >> hello. my name is shawna. i am 63 years old. >> i am roxanne. i am 71 years old. >> reporter: after their one small step conversation prove issay's point. >> we are one small step partners. >> reporter: they didn't spend time on policy differences. they focused instead on their shared love of faith, family,

and plant-based diets. so the way our culture sees it, you two probably can't sit at the same table for 30 seconds, much less than hour. >> or we could. >> or we could. and we did. >> and we are. >> and we shall. >> reporter: to frame the job that one small step has cut out for itself, consider this. in 2016 47% of republicans considered democrats immoral, not closed-minded, not dishonest, immoral. by 2022 that number was 72%. for democrats 35% considered republicans immoral. by 2022 it was 63%. that's why he's brought one small step to the city of 200,000 on the banks of the chattahoochee river in western georgia, a crucial battleground state. >> we are gearing up for the

moment after the election, which is going to be one of the most critical moments in history in terms of polarization, to try and build the muscle of seeing each other as human beings so that we can withstand this incredible stress test. >> reporter: columbus is one of three cities where they're testing the potential of their concept to mitigate a looming crisis. >> the idea is that they can show the rest of the country what it means to have the courage to listen. >> this is awesome. >> reporter: listen to each other despite their differences just like shawna and roxanne. what kind of shape are we in as a culture? >> i think we're very wounded right now. we're very angry. >> however, the wound is where the light gets in and i'm hoping that this whole process here and many other processes are that light and we just need to be open to it.
