>>for waking up with us on a friday, the sun is shining beautiful shot here of the bay area today we're wondering about the weekend yeah we've got halloween we've got the clocks rolling back we've got cooler weather fog. lots of things at play john trouble in the weather center keeping an eye on it all down. yeah, i love these mornings where you get the fog and the sunshine too because sometimes it's just gray when you see the marine layer but not so much this morning it sure is beautiful there at the bay bridge and that view and also really nice in your center tower view looking down at the city of san francisco, really just complimented by a little stream of fog in the city and some low lying cloud cover right up above as for conditions, they will remain a little bit on the cloudy side for some this morning but that fog in that very thin marine layer isn't going to last for long and we do get a good dose of sunshine through much your day today, current temperatures are mostly in the 40's and 50's, although we have had some 30's returning for parts of the north bay like sentence elmo santa rosa and fairfield each in the

upper 30's right now not quite as chilly as we had been the past couple of days, but definitely cool enough for that extra layer if you're outside for more than just a few minutes, sun shining down in walnut creek and as we make our way into the afternoon areas like walnut creek holding on to the low 80's just barely most of our inland areas backing off the 80's, falling into the 70's to kick off the weekend on a cooler note. robin thank you john major residual slowing on highway 4 after an accident in concord was tying up traffic blocking several lanes so the crash is gone, but the drive time is still very high, especially for friday, a whopping 42 minutes for west for from antioch over to concord because of that crash which is right before they 6.80 looks good the nimitz trouble free and one oh one easy 31 minutes from san jose heading to menlo park. >>the bay bridge commute into san francisco fantastic for friday delay free we haven't had any major issues so far 9 minutes for you average to fremont street that's right on time we'll check more purchase

and more drive times coming up back to you, thanks a lot one just 4 days to go to the election bay area city stepping up to help people cast their vote and that includes the city of oakland we've got joining us on zoom call this morning, oakland. >>mayor libby shaft madam air always great to have you joining us. the election week absolutely and and first off tell us about the coliseum because starting what tomorrow it turns into a giant voting center. >>that's right. i mean this is a great year for sports fans and voting because the oakland coliseum is going to be in makeup boating center you can't drive by and drop off your mail ballot. you can even vote from your car if you know someone who is worried about standing in line are being exposed to other people there will be curbside voting drive through democracy, it's going to be course socially distance polling places inside the

arena, it all opens tomorrow, you can vote all day saturday all day sunday monday and then of course on election day tuesday. >>what about preparing for the results, i know that a lot of cities are very nervous. whichever way it goes that there could be some destruction and at least demonstrations. what is oakland doing. >>well we have everyone all staff is on call we've been running different scenario some been planning for this for months so we are prepared and we are committed to safeguard the vote and also create safe places for people because you know it may be a few days before we know the final results of this election so we're prepared we're here to facilitate oaklanders celebrating their democracy their hopes and dreams this country and also for local community there's a lot on the local ballot. i know i'm going

to be a stumping for derrick johnson this weekend one of my favorite local candidates for city council i hope you get it all with an election this year. >>well a lot of people appreciate the steps the efforts that oakland and alameda county have done to you know make it easier to vote which is you know stands stark contrast to other places like texas forest is where the governor limited the drop-off low drop box locations just one per county alameda guys we've got like more than 60 so you know kudos on that front. >>that's right and if you didn't get around to registering to vote but you still want to vote you can actually show up at any of these polling places register and cast a ballot on the same day so we are making it as easy as possible for you to lift your voice that is your mote that's our democracy we have got to exercise it this year very important. >>let me ask you a quick while we have you i know it was maybe about a month ago little last that the governor made available but was a 20 million dollars for this home key fund where you guys are going to be

taking homeless people and putting them into properties that were maybe former hotels are dorms and converting that into more permanent housing, how's that going. >>oh it's going great we've actually already started moving some of our now formless formerly homeless neighbors into permanent we've purchased 20 single family homes or converting an old college dormitory in rockbridge and then we just got an additional award 17 million more dollars so a total of almost 40 million dollars and this time we're going to be converting the in at 10 the and a downtown hotel with a special focus on our that is the way to end homelessness with permanent affordable housing as mayor also going into halloween weekend. what do you have to say about partying i know san francisco has a big area of concern which is the castor they're telling people to stay away. what about in oakland

took to limit people's exposure to covid. well you know, i'm sure i'm like a lot of families holloway has been our family's favorite holiday. but we are not celebrating it in the same way this year we're not going to have trick or treaters and that's just what we have to do to get through this pandemic together and oakland your sacrifices are paying off you've seen we've moved into orange that here were allowed to now reopen some of our churches and weddings and indoor recreation in a limited capacity and that's because we have been making those sacrifices so wear a mask every day not just on halloween i like looking past halloween the holiday season coming up. >>in december it your annual 12 toy drives already getting underway or soon will be how are you guys doing things differently now with the pandemic and people just concerned about that. >>if you have any spare money

we need some more donations to make the holiday special for so many families that are struggling this year last year the mayor's toy drive, certain 9,000 families in need this year the need is even greater but instead of actually buying toys wrapping them and giving them to people we're going to be handing out gift cards last transfer of germs a safer more sanitary and we're going to allow those families to do their own shopping but we are behind in our contributions so please go to oakland ca dot gov slash toy drive make a donation, whatever you can afford and on monday we will start registering families who need that little help during this holiday season to keep that spirit alive for their children that's a great idea of my all of these you know measures that are taken because of covid and that's a way to save the holidays. all right, thanks a lot there. all right. thank you have the

election happy halloween, we'll be right back.

>>all 10 is the time right now john here take a look at the weather and we've been seeing will to shots beautiful that one, but she said there is some fog right even though it's a foggy morning get sort of we do have the return of

some fog so not quite as crystal clear, but i actually think it looks kind of pretty year with a little bit of cloud cover and a little bit of sunshine to that we've been holding onto you can see from timber on right here if you look really close there's that line of fog that streaming into the golden gate. so you are driving through it this morning at the bridges and on a couple spots along the coastline, but more so the knot yeah we're getting a good dose of sunshine on this friday morning as we work our way through friday you're going to notice calm winds much like we had wednesday much like we had yesterday to we're going hold on to these calm winds as we work our way through today into halloween tomorrow in the sunday early into next week too. >>you're going to find that the next forecast ahead of us is more or less just a holding pattern of the same stuff as this ridge of high pressure sets up shop across the region. we're not going to see a whole lot of changes here it's keeping any chance of rain out of the region that's the downside, the good side is we don't have any major heat waves ahead of us nor any major wind events ahead of us to which obviously sparked up the red flag warnings that we

had earlier this week. daytime highs today a little cooler than they have been mostly back into the 60's for san francisco, another coastal spots overnight at 62 today while daly city at a cool comfortable 65. good doses of sunshine between fog that will ebb and flow right along the coastline 70's and 60's from san bruno through burlingame up to brisbane well 70's from foster city through mountain view san mateo and i 74 today while temperatures in the south bay just a couple of degrees down from where we were yesterday sonny bill and 73, san jose at 76 east a daytime highs a little cooler than yesterday as well no 80's in the tri valley, although you do still have an 80 or 2 in danville walnut creek up to concord berkeley you're at 68 richmond oakland in the low 70's today while on the north bay back into the low to upper 70's temperatures cooler than yesterday's low 80's were in these spots, santa rosa in petaluma as well as nevado all at 76 today, let's get a

breakdown of your next 7 days of course we have halloween tomorrow going to be a different halloween this year. i don't know how you're celebrating it. but i'm sure it will be social distanced, maybe enjoying some of the sunshine in the backyard, those 80's inland and 70's by the bay 60's near the coastline as for sunday you'll get that extra hour's sleep as we fall back an hour. 02:00am on sunday morning. so don't forget to adjust your clock saturday night. robin i'll try to remember thank you john. >>we're checking in on the traffic around the bay area looking good for our friday. we don't have any because spots but we do have some foggy spots a dense fog advisory remains in place here for the golden gate bridge so keep that in mind if you take a one on one, it's a little fog, especially on the north bay side but no big problems into or out of san francisco. so far we're checking in on the bay bridge 80 wesson to san francisco. it's been quiet and smooth throughout the morning drive so come you don't have to worry about any problems or issues or an 8 minute. so that's pretty quick right that's your average from the bottom of the maze across

the span and over to the fremont street exit, i'll give you one more we're checking in on the drive times and take a look the highway for so remember earlier we had an accident and concord west for right before the 2.42 sweat that's what backed up the traffic it's out of your way, but it has not recovered it's better, but it hasn't completely recovered so we're down to 33 minutes west for any out to conquer livermore to dublin looks good for 5 1 is trouble free heading for morgan hill off to san jose and then no big issues for the east shore freeway little busy but just under 20 minutes now from crockett down to the maze back to you. in the buzz, the biggest star in college football has covid clemson quarterback trevor lawrence, he's supposed to be the number one overall draft pick if he enters the nfl but the bigger is now is will he be out of isolation in time for clemson's big game with notre dame november 7th as a mom. i'm more worried about his health because they say that

minutes off to the fremont street exit and they were checking in on some drive times here taking a look at some numbers check out the east shore it's recovering from a roughly 20 minutes for the drive, not bad at all 6 80's at the limit no problems for the guadalupe parkway through san jose so james and darya things are looking up with no major trouble spots. we'll check some more bridges and drive times coming up back to you, thanks problems. >>i met a 32, let's talk about the election that is the big story we're just 4 days away now from. well it's going to say casting your vote but millions already have both nationally and here in the bay area as well they're almost calling election day. like the deadline the last bit that's the deadline. >>we have team coverage we've got rain harvey in san francisco and will tran in san mateo talking about how you can cast your vote, let's start with you well. >>early votes are just coming in fast and furious, they have a ballot box right behind me you can clearly see that the office is open they have been processing mail in ballots for

great game according to elections officials we could be for a record year that when it's all said and done about 90% of registered voters across the country. >>could turn out and vote so if you are voting by mail invalid make sure that you post market before election day and make sure that they have it in their hands. no later than 17 days after neil the election november 20th because on the 21st if they grab it, doesn't mean anything because that's the deadline 17 days after the election. you want to be safe. i have a couple of boxes just like this outside inside ready for you. back to you, yeah i just rolled up yesterday and did develop box was very easy you can even pull right up and keep your car there and. >>pop it right and thank you will. >>and we're similar stories to in san francisco where the warriors now are offering up the chase center as well turning it into a voting drop-off location we've got kron four's reyna harvey following that story for us this morning live from the

city right now. >>good morning, you know the golden state borders lawyers do not play about their basketball and they certainly don't play about their civic duty. that's why they have these 3 locations set up right behind me you can see that big dome air that's where they're going to have the drought, the ballot drop-off location and sign there that says ballot drop-off so we were confused general area where you're going to come to cast your ballot. they also have one clinton one out in santa cruz, so they are spreading. the vote far and wide throughout the bay area if you're coming out here tomorrow because that's when it starts someone was telling me so people are getting confused they already started coming down here and cast her ballot, but it happens tomorrow so you arrive here at thrive city that's at 10:00am to 04:00pm those specific hours you need to make sure you have those down sunday, they're doing the same thing 10:00am to 04:00pm now monday and tuesday those hours change look at that 08:00am to

of the shop owners in the area and people already coming out to vote. >>the polling doesn't start until tomorrow, so we're going to be talking to be will in the upcoming days before election bringing you all more coverage, but for now reporting on here in san francisco reyna harvey kron 4 news right good to see they're making it as easy as possible to vote between now and election day thank you right now. >>a 38 is the time and still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. we're talking about ballot counting. >>well, dozens of ballots are missing in the east bay, we'll tell contra costa county officials are doing to solve the problem there. and one bay area county has confirmed its first case of both the regular flu and covid and now there's a new warning from health officials. i'm jerome gage. i'm a full-time lyft driver.

when this pandemic first started, i bought my own ppe because uber and lyft didn't provide it. these companies have been exploiting drivers like me for years. now prop 22 denies us basic rights like unemployment benefits and sick time. uber and lyft are billion-dollar companies, and they still won't let drivers get access to unemployment benefits. that's just wrong. tell uber and lyft to stop exploiting their drivers. vote no on prop 22. tell uber and lyft to stop exploiting their drivers. thisa window of time to help protect the ones you love. your preteen benefits from staying up-to-date with their well visits. this is your window of protection.

schedule their well visit now. - oh.- oh, darn! - wha- let me help. here we go. lift and push and push! there... it's up there. oh, boy. hey joshie... wrinkles send the wrong message. help prevent them before they start with downy wrinkleguard. hey! bud. hey, pop pop! so you won't get caught with wrinkles again. [woman laughs]

floors for toddlers. let'floors for toys.ors. floors for stories. floors for screams. book now and have yours installed by the holidays. >>8 41 and in the east bay, dozens of ballots have gone missing, they were dropped in this drop box outside a richmond city hall the contra costa county elections offices. they're trying to find them but so far have come up empty handed. the county was made aware of this through complaints from people who say that their ballot was not accounted for online. however, elections officials do not believe that the ballot box or the ballots were tampered with. >>we've eliminated a few possibilities to include a malicious act activity and there's no of that happening at all stuff always happens

and this is a thing that we don't know exactly what happened yet. >>the voters who had their ballots misplaced have been given new ones so they have the option of using those. if the missing ballots are found and still only one ballot will count. >>know halloween this year is going to be looking very different for pretty much everyone across the bay area as you do plan maybe something with a close family outside in the backyard, do expect a nice afternoon. the whole weeknight dropping pretty quickly into the 50's with some fog pushing it, i've got more on your forecast about the entirety of the weekend still to come. and the traffic is moving well around the bay area this morning. it's been pretty nice with the exception of just a couple of minor issues but check out the bay bridge toll plaza doesn't look great a smooth trip into san francisco will update more bridges after the break.

as a nurse, i've faced the fear

of being stretched too thin to do my job right.

and it's not just health care workers. our teachers and school staff are going the extra mile for our kids. our firefighters are taking on unthinkable missions to keep us safe. how can we keep giving billions in tax breaks to rich corporations when our communities need that money? prop 15 closes corporate loopholes and invests in our schools, health care, and public safety. help us do our jobs. vote yes on 15. >>a 45 right now and we're taking a look at the weather kind of like warm stuff when i'm sometimes i drink water and sometimes i hear really does help yeah but i think i don't know how much help are going to need to how high we get this weekend for temperatures to so today 70's tomorrow and sunday more so in the 80's inland 70's by the bay. so i mean we're going to stay pretty comfortable. i'd say keep that cup of tea close

especially during these morning hours because it has been kind of chilly and this morning we've seen a touch of fog along with still ample sunshine. timber on you're getting both right now fog through the golden gate and then sunshine right above you in to run as we work our way through the forecast this weekend we are going to be looking at conditions out there staying foggy during your evening and morning hours and then sting sunny during our daytime hours which is pretty typical stuff for the bay area. actually quite a holding pattern ahead of us in this forecast as we keep the calm winds around for a few more days you're going to be seeing calm winds today tomorrow for halloween sunday's you get that extra hour's sleep and then monday as you go back to work. so no changes. they're also not a whole lot of changes in temperature and that all has to do with this high-pressure ridge that's in place. this is sending any chance of rainfall rainfall that we do need now. well to our north across the pacific northwest. this is actually a pretty standard lynnea pattern what we work our way back into which usually brings cooler and wetter conditions for the

northern tier, the u.s. and then drier and slightly warmer conditions for the southern tier. and of course that's exactly what we've been seeing this fall season has been some generally warmer conditions even though today is a little cooler we're still going to be on the warm side for some areas, 60's for your highs and san francisco as well as ride up and down the coastline. half moon bay at 68 degrees for the high today with a mix of 60's and 70's from brisbane down through burlingame today will be solid 70's from san mateo through mountain view at 73. redwood city at 74 well foster city at 75 today. temperatures in the south bay backing off yesterday's warmer daytime highs a bit down into the low to mid 70's for most areas, no 80's left in the tri valley today, it's back to the upper 70's in dublin pleasanton livermore low 70's in union city hayward and fremont well upper 60's in berkeley or 3 spots holding on to the 80's danville walnut creek in concord today. temperatures in the north bay also out of the 80's fairfield vacaville into the upper 70's

at 79 degrees. each while a few 60's right along the coastline for areas like point raise in stinson beach. here's a look ahead at your next 7 days. i mentioned this is more or less a holding pattern of not a lot of changes and you can see that playing out here pretty clearly in your forecast. today inland are only day with inland temperatures averaging out in the upper 70's for bayside areas, it's solid 70's and coastal areas in the 60's 80's do return for inland spots saturday for halloween and sunday you get that extra hour of sleep. so i know this year looking a lot different for you in the family's far as halloween goes. but at least we've got some nice weather to celebrate. robin and some nice traffic too because we don't have any major hot spots working right now, but it is a little foggy for some of you, especially our traveling from the north bay to san francisco here at the golden gate we do have a dense fog advisory that was issued by chp the traffic continues to move well right no major issues 20 minutes for your drive time that's really quick. the richmond sandra fell west 5.80 winding down

trouble free to the north bay at 7 great time to commute even into san francisco yesterday was a slight throughout the morning drive so. >>i think a lot of folks are off they took off yesterday they took off friday today. so we're looking at 9 minutes for the trip in just not the usual jam up out there around the bay heading from the south bay to the east bay looks good with no 80's, san jose milpitas union city hayward one oh one is a great trip from san jose to menlo park that's going north and even to check-in trouble free so commuting from the south bay to the peninsula northbound 2.80 doing just fine. no complaints here 11 minutes to make it up to the 85 flip back to you. >>thank you robert time now is 8.49, let's talk about the latest with coronavirus the u.s. now has recorded more than 78,000 new coronavirus c ses. yesterday alone pushing the national count of cases to almost 9 million. so this is a map that shows you where the hot spots are where we're

seeing cases really explode in number southern california is one such spot we've got around the great lakes states like illinois and indiana to the south we have texas into the northeast of course we have the new england region where they're seeing numbers also on the rise. so far 228,000 deaths have been attributed to covid-19 and that is more than any country has recorded around the world now we're also tracking. the local numbers to for california and the bay area and you can see on the screen the california now has recorded 924,000 plus cases of coronavirus with more than 17,000 deaths locally for the bay area more than a 114,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus with 1700 plus deaths. >>if you're going to be a vaccine on the way anytime soon health experts say it could take a while even though the president suggested it would be quicker after initially suggesting a vaccine would be ready by election day. now president trump is saying it's right around the corner doctor. fauci however

says it won't be until december that we know at the earliest if there's something that is safe and effective. a handful of companies have been working on vaccines. 2 studies had to be put on hold because of safety issues and that is why an infectious disease specialist at ucsf bullies. the timeline is earlier the earlier one is overly optimistic. >>they maybe did string that this effort, cnn vaccine by the end of this calendar year. but in terms of someone sticking their arm out to get the vaccine probably not until spring of 2021. >>so you spring, he would say as a realistic timeline for that to happen there just you know you think about all of the complications, not just with the study and with the development but then the making of it and then getting millions of this out for distribution to populations around the world. that is why ucsf experts in general don't think we're going to have access to the shot in the arm until summer or fall.

>>let's go to the north bay solano county has confirmed its first case of both the flu and coronavirus in one patient, it's called a co infection, this is what they're worried about now because of medical privacy rules all we've been told about this very of this patient is that they are under the age of 65. health officials say the should be a warning though for all of us that now is the time to ramp up safety precaution, starting of course with getting that flu shot and wearing a mask, whenever you're outside. >>and here's the irony in our county most of our cases are occuring they're being exposed when they get together with family and friends and they let their guard down they're not being exposed at work and not being exposed out there and then in the general public sector in the community when they go to the store at center. they have the incorrect assumption that family and friends are saints. >>the doctor also stresses that if you are sick with flulike symptoms then it's imperative that you get tested for coronavirus immediately and self quarantine while

you're waiting for those results, the nation's top infectious disease doctor anthony fauci says that he has major concerns about the upcoming holidays, thanksgiving coming first and that families might get together and spread covid he says there's been an uptick in cases averaging 70,000 a day and the country is headed in the wrong direction. so his advice is to really think about whether it's worth the risk of getting the extended family around the same table. >>i want to be the person. you know the grinch that stole thanksgiving to 79 years old. i mean i feel less worried about myself with my daughters feel that they don't want to put their daddy at risk. >>doctor fauci says for him he's going to be joining virtually with his family for thanksgiving and maybe you should do that to lori says if you are getting together everybody should wear a mask and open the windows to increase ventilation. >>james i'm keeping it small and we're doing it outside looking california. we can do in the backyard now to get
