7:16 am
offshore wind event sometimes we show all this conversation when those storms come out of the gulf of alaska, they would be pointing in this direction not coming due north like that's you got hefty winds going on in the north bay off to the east bay east to the east bay hills extending down the peninsula as well that will be with us through sunday. monday a little bit to finally starting to subside a little bit on tuesday. we're quite a bit of activity going up here in the north bay, some unfinished business to still kind of finish off this is going to cover your day today. we've got a little bit the way some scattered clouds here going to mention them in the forecast a little bit here little bit of that humidity working to i know it seems counterproductive or are counterintuitive then you start to see as we get to sunday morning at dawn. boom look at that the dryer just eve erodes eats away at whatever moisture we have at the surface of things change in a big way when we get to tomorrow morning and into the afternoon how's the forecast shape up today, 65 san
7:17 am
francisco 68 going on for oakland 71, san jose across the water real estate, this is what marty was talking about i s no feeling we've got upper 60's mid 70's going on the far east bay up to the north bay at 71 going to check your extended forecast coming up the walls of 4 zone and a bit marty sounds great. thank you dave. for your local election headquarters things are really heating up now as we're just 10 days from election day. >>but millions of americans already voted in fact one count shows that nearly 52 million americans are already filled out their ballots. catherine heenan who is the host of our inside politics, a bay area politics talked to one of our analysts about what all of this could mean for the presidential candidates. yes, you know we're at record numbers more democrats and republicans are pressing ballots therefore more democrats returning those ballots continually telling us that they're going to vote late on election day there and. >>but looking at number that's 50 million plus 51 52 million
7:18 am
with 85 million ballots requested nose or record setting numbers these are numbers that maybe don't hit 19 oh 8 6464 and a half percent but they get much closer above 60% in to that 60 low 60's. a category 4 participation that is a number that benefits the challengers not the incumbent. so as turnout grows as the early vote continues to come in. that is coming in at a higher rate for joe biden then for donald trump so anything's going to happen the last 8.10 or 11 days. it has to be substantial dramatic. it led to what's called negative mobilization where all of these republicans plus a few swing voters come out for donald trump. we're not seeing that we're not seeing that because this early vote is so historically huge. >>and we have a warning before you mail in your ballot. the u.s. postal service records show the are being delayed all across the country and that's raising the possibility of
7:19 am
ballots being rejected because they arrived too late postal service data through november, 9 show that nearly all the agencies delivery regions missed its target of having at least 95%. a forklift first class mail arrive within 5 days. now these delays are a worry for voters who have not yet mailed in their absentee ballots. and that's especially true in states such as michigan where ballots must be received by election day. other states require postmarked by november 3rd. and kron four's committed to help make sure that your vote counts if you experience a problem casting your ballot. let us know, and we'll investigate it you can e-mail us at voting problems at kron 4 dot com. and in the meantime both president trump and joe biden are making their final pitches to the voters ahead of november, 3rd the former vice president spent friday in delaware. while president trump made a push for voters in the key battleground state of florida. he also painted a
7:20 am
picture of 2 very different americas under each candidate. >>it's a choice between. optimism patriotic vision for american success. or joe biden stark dismal gloomy video what he said last night about dark to start is always starts. but it's a gloomy vision where about the american dream all about the american dream greatest country in the world. >>meanwhile meantime a biden attacked the president's handling of the pandemic also president trump's claim that a vaccine is right around the corner. >>we focus on developing safe and effective treatments and distribute a safe and effective vaccine. president trump. trump claims he found a cure. let me tell you that we have 1000 people die each day. more than 40,000 people are in hospitals right now battling the virus. life's a 3rd piece
7:21 am
should be just available wealthy the all connected. we need to make sure they're available to everybody available and affordable. >>biden says if he's elected he would begin carrying out his plan even before he's inaugurated. >>and coming up next in morning sports forty-niners preparing to take on cam newton and the patriots on sunday we're going to hear from head coach kyle shanahan that's coming up next in sports.
7:24 am
>>one no brady know gronk no problem for the forty-niners right well, the new england patriots may not be looking like the afc powerhouse of years past. but you can never underestimate bill belichick in a mobile quarterback, an explosive quarterback. like cam newton the 49 ers will have to show up in new england on sunday. now this game will be a bit of a homecoming for jimmy garoppolo who began his nfl career in new england before being traded to the 49 ers in 2017. the niners will be looking to rely heavily on their run game but keep in mind they will be without where he most true who we're told will likely go on i r with a high ankle sprain expect to see running backs jerick mckinnon jim michael hasty take on a bigger workload coach kyle shanahan also talked about what his defense needs to do to shut down cam and the pats offense. >>going against mobile
7:25 am
quarterbacks is always a challenge from there's a different element changed up you're unfit son. one more player yet account for every single play so it's it's always a challenge. there's lot of other things that you got to defend besides just the running plays by the quarterback, so you make a big emphasis of been good training for us having a number the sharon. hopefully that will to just continue to get better at it. >>as california continues to lift coronavirus restrictions many players, parents and coaches are really frustrated, there's been very little guidance on youth sports. california is one of the few states still not allowing any competition. i talked with several marine county soccer players who say it has impacted their mental health and they worry it could even impact their chances of playing in college. chris mims with brush back baseball club in mountain view says his teams have been traveling out of state just to play. he says tournament and league cancellations here in the golden state affect the economy too. >>your economic standpoint it's not just baseball not

8:15 am
just a little bit far cry from the morning to the afternoon you're going to feel a difference in the air mass as it dries out throughout the day tomorrow looks like and there it is from the sky conditions cleared out and you'll see why here are that start with the winds first that's what everybody is going to notice. here's the uptick we freeze things just before noon. the directions are all set all coming in from the north readings in the teens 20's and some cases were getting up to about 30 or so coverage area concentrated in the north bay watch it spread out there it's in the east bay peninsula remaining in the north bay as late as monday morning. and then finally starts to subside as we get into monday afternoon. doesn't mean we're out of the woods yet though let's go to the moisture levels this is the relative humidity levels to put this in terms of percentage is even though we like to look at dew points though, because it really tells us how much moisture is in the atmosphere but let's go for to give you general idea. sunday early afternoon what's the deal we've got most readings in the 30's we've
8:16 am
lower than this before going into the overnight recovery. what recovery. what happened here nothing look at this. one percent relative humidity and those actual dew point numbers are subfreezing means you have to get the air to like arctic temperatures 15 degrees to get any moisture out of it that's how dry it is and these are coastal locations looking at very low numbers as well. so when's the recovery will we lose the winds pretty quickly in the monday afternoon, stopping things tuesday overnight very early we're still in the 20's over all of the real estate even some upper teens. take it all the way out to about wednesday. morning we're still looking at numbers in the teens. so the future red flag warnings may be posted beyond this point because we're going to be banking off of a dry atmosphere during a good chunk of today we have mild conditions going on san francisco to get some clouds the when they're 68 for oakland, 71 meanwhile for san jose as marty was talking about filling quite the wait is highs today, we expect to

8:18 am
19 '08 and 6464 and a half percent but they get much closer. >>above 60% in to that 60 low 60's. a category 4 participation that is a number that benefits the challengers not the incumbent. so as turnout grows as the early vote continues to come in. that is coming in at a higher rate for joe biden then for donald trump so anything's going to happen the last 8.10 or 11 days. it has to be substantial dramatic. it led to what's called negative mobilization where all of these republicans plus a few swing voters come out for donald trump. we're not seeing that we're not seeing that because this early vote is so historically huge. >>well kron 4 is committed to helping make sure that your vote counts so if you experience apart problem in casting your ballot all you have do is let us know and we'll investigate it. you can e-mail us at voting problems at kron 4 dot com. in the meantime both president trump and joe biden are making their final pitches to voters ahead

8:46 am
temperatures dry air that's get out of those winds now going freeze this here till sunday at high noon. there you can see all the arrows coming in from the north and the northeast. here's the heavier winds up in the north bay. but they spill out over the east bay as well and cover the peninsula as well there's the burr still active all the way till monday morning. that subsides pretty quickly in the afternoon by tuesday. the wind part of the forecast least the morning hours is gone, but we'll be left with a very much dry air all the way through midweek looks like so that will be another little problem which to deal with as well. a drought situation we haven't had much rain as we talk about and it's getting worse. we're now going into the extreme category you can see extends up to about central solano county through napa as well. elsewhere course it's severe. now you may recall that just a few years ago we were in the exceptional category. so that's the next step along the way this week ahead, here's the dry air excuse me get out of my way it says and upstream
8:47 am
little front tries to drop down down here by the end of next week we saw this before and we're basically looking at right now basically some of that fog that we have this morning, not to anything in terms of real precipitation with it so maybe we'll get something out of that we'll see but anyway it will be a dry week ahead 65 san francisco to the coast. we see readings at about 60 ish or so so kind of a fall-like feel upper 60's lineup, the bay side of the peninsula down south a 72 redwood city palo alto 73 67 mountain view, santa clara valley lower 70's most readings here milpitas coming in at about 72 east bay shoreline to the south upper 60's pleasanton tri valley, you're looking at mid 70's today still got that fall-like feel up to contra costa county conquered at 7362 berkeley, 64 for richmond up the solano county of course in the inland areas it's lower 70's but out to at 6566 benicia napa 65 71% a rose in the bottle at about
8:48 am
77 day forecast, let's keep it in the 70's all week remember bone dry conditions to be found to the bay will also get you into the middle 70's by the middle of the weekend a little bit cool side. along the coast. marty. well pre covid being parked in front of a computer used to be an option also a form of recreation but today it's entirely different. >>as children are spending hours in front of a computer because they have to we all know the distance learning has its share of challenges such as online discipline and constant distractions as well. our health expert killing all on joins me this morning to talk helping your children succeed and improve their grades at the same time and care and this is such a big problem for so many parents, teachers and students across the country. we can definitely use some tips. >>it's quite challenge it and i feel for the parents that are trying to work well as the
8:49 am
be teachers to their children. but what they found is this was a study by the american college of sports medicine that when you engage your child in vigorous activity that they increase their up a level of a concentration and also their behavioral problems also improves so all a good thing so karen of just tell us what vigorous means. >>still decrease activity would be something where you are expending more energy something like basketball soccer are you doing a lot of running you're consuming more oxygen kaylee say that it's where you can still talk but you really don't want you ok and you're at least 3 times a week. >>at least 3 times a week and for 20 segments so that 20
8:50 am
minutes is not that long you know great break in between your day and between your are as dear class sessions, so that that really breaks up the day then if you can if you can get your children or parents to get their children into that type of a routine. >>that maybe you have class for half an hour something like this and then 20 minutes of vigorous activity and you kind of break things up. >>it really the drudgery so to speak of what they're having to deal with. >>it is because even adults trying to sit in front of the computer isn't go through lessons is a little trying so you can imagine for child whose whose attention span is not that great that this will this will help and and i think it would be a good solution for some of the parents that are having difficulty. >>let's talk about toys because you say the toys are very important as well. >>yes, and this is a study done by the university of buffalo and they looked at toy
8:51 am
offering toy variety and that increased interest in exercise. so bottom line is you want the child to be and so when they offered them variety and choice maybe 3 to toys they were in the study they are using many basketball, many hockey being even bean bag toss and when they were offered choices and they are offered an activity that they can master yet was a key that in that increased their interest in exercising that increase their motivation and also the time that they spent suing the activity. >>well, it sounds like you're talking more about physical activity like ball's and things that you mentioned as opposed to traditional toys that the people that parents might be thinking about. >>right active game, something that we're they're actually moving which is a good thing when you're sitting all even
8:52 am
extra games like that sure yeah, yeah, yeah, and and now one thing to remember is that they may spend more time playing we, but they're not expanding as much energy as they would if they're doing the bill game right if you are playing basketball you east expend energy just chasing the ball if it goes at around so right so not as much as you would at the other bullet point we have on the list circuit training. right so circuit training that's another way you can make it into you know set up stations of exercises body weight exercises yeah and make it into an obstacle course make it kind of fun, let them even choose what they would like to do have in their little circuit or their obstacle course to give them some choice and then make it really fun. >>not only does great for kids it sounds great for parents as well could use a little saying it's raining.
8:53 am
>>it doesn't and where you're offered something that you can master a for adults to that that's motivation when you say i you know i little better than it was last week so that's motivation. i think bought one of the bottom lines here. karen is that we all no matter what age we are but especially trolled children need to be active in the day. yes active during the day because that's good for your cognitive well-being as well as your physical well-being yeah. >>and and when when kids are feeling, good. they're going to perform better in does just follows doesn't. >>only does it get there they're going to perform better so make sure you also feed them. they too don't have really good snacks. they're not going to be able to perform well to they go hand in hand i always say nutrition good nutrition and exercise. >>are like 2 wheels on a bicycle both me to function well and there's really connection not only between between good food and the
8:54 am
physical activity. >>but also the fact it's going to help them learn as well. >>it isn't anything that we could help the child at this time. and help the parents at this time. everyone will be happy. yeah also if you can make exercise a family activity to so on the weekends hike something that you can do as a family and then that will also make them like exercise for and it will be tough and you can see scavenger hunts to earth there's a there's a lot of ways that you can you can blend exercise into your activities, karen. thank you so much welcome sure to get in my so we have to get 12,000 at least thanks a lot karen have you see next week get you

9:16 am
banking off of a dry atmosphere started things off right now. most readings into the 20's you will notice or going in that direction even though we do have some fog going on. at least the surface here. but much happens as we go out to sunday afternoon. what's all the fuss as you see what happens by sunday night into monday morning. you have no moisture at all. it's like we're continent in terms of the middle of the continent terms were location. okay, these are one percent relative humidity levels but look at some of the dew point numbers, their sub freezing so that's air that had its origins from the arctic which tends to be buried right warmed up by the time it gets down here. but it's not real real hot air is just very very dry. now the wind event does finally finish in let's go up to tuesday's you'll notice. and these numbers really don't recover all the way up to about wednesday morning well past all the red flag warning talk and well after the wind event is over. we're still bone dry. so that's something we'll have to deal with as we go forward 65 san francisco 68 for

9:18 am
with 85 million ballots requested. >>nose or record setting numbers these are numbers that maybe don't hit 19 oh 8 6464 and a half percent but they get much closer above 60% in to that 60 low 60's. a category 4 participation that is a number that benefits the challengers not the incumbent. so as turnout grows as the early vote continues to come in. that is coming in at a higher rate for joe biden then for donald trump so anything's going to happen the last 8.10 or 11 days. it has to be substantial dramatic. it led to what's called negative mobilization where all of these republicans plus a few swing voters come out for donald trump. we're not seeing that we're not seeing that because this early vote is so historically huge. >>we have a warning for you before you mail your ballot. the u.s. postal records are showing that delivery delays across the country are happening and that's raising
