Happens over those next couple of days. Reporter this is a new picture of President Trump walking out of the white house to marine one yesterday. It was reported late thursday night, early friday morning on the east coast that he and the first lady tested positive for coronavirus. The white house has said these next couple of days are critical for the president s immediate and future health. We spoke to an Infectious Disease expert at stanford, who is also a Principal Investigator for various Clinical Trials a little more than an hour ago to find out just how critical. And she shared her thoughts on President Trumps health after watching video of him that was released today. He was speaking in full sentences. When i get worried is when people cant speak in full sentences and theyre sort of gasping for breath, minimal activity really makes them short of breath and they feel chest tightness. So, you know, i was hopeful seeing the video of him. But, of course, im not examining him, so well have to see. Reporter the doctor credited the hundreds of Covid Patients who have participated in Clinical Trials for treatments that President Trump is now receiving at walter reed medical center. She said while theyre still costly, they might be less than the thousands of dollars worth of medical bills some longterm patients have to pay. She believes this early treatment will serve him well. Thats why overall the doctor we spoke to says shes very hopeful for President Trump and his Health Status and hopeful recovery. But she says other people who may contract this virus may not be as lucky. In San Francisco, jackie ward, nbc bay area news. Jackie, thanks very much.

Rob, i think the most exciting and intriguing part of your forecast, you mentioned the word rain. I like the word rain. Yeah, everybody more excited in the sevenday forecast. It seems since midaugust its been mostly bad news in the weather forecast. Yeah, some changes ahead that we think will help our air quality and possibly bring us some rain. Meantime, its time for your gametime forecast. Less than 24 hours out, of course weve got the 49ers eagles, sunday night football right here on nbc bay area. Were going to see temperatures trending a bit cooler tomorrow. As that breeze picks up, i do think were going to see improving air quality, especially for the second half of the game as we head through the rest of the evening. Kickoff temperatures pretty close to 80 degrees but notice the shift in the air pollution once we get closer to 5 30 tomorrow. Youre still seeing those areas of red, nothing showing up in purple, which would be the aqi of 200 we have to watch for the game. But things do trend more clear as we head into sunday evening and monday. So we still have a spare the air day tomorrow where the worst air quality will be in the north bay, inland east bay. But notice the trend now as we leave the weekend and head into monday, tuesday, and wednesday. Spare the airconditions still expected for the north bay through tuesday and the bay area. By wednesday we start to see some better air quality and some bigger changes following up as we head through the rest of next week. Right now 84 degrees, hazy skies in san jose. Livermore still seeing temperatures in the 90s. 100 degrees was the High Temperature in dublin and livermore today. Look at San Francisco. Mostly sunny, 77 degrees earlier, right now 65 degreesba rosa, and fairfield. Hot temperatures today. We should see those numbers about ten degrees cooler by tomorrow. So for overnight temperatures, mostly in the mid to upper 50s, and our highs tomorrow should trend into the upper 80s and low 90s south of san jose. So san jose tomorrow about 85 degrees. Low 90s for morgan hill down into san martin. Still some 90s possible but trending cooler, especially around oakland at 73 degrees and peninsula bayside temperatures in the 70s to low 80s. Back into the 60s around the coast for half moon bay, outer sunset, marina, downtown San Francisco still closer to 70 degrees. The north bay should see a significant drop awin temperatus to upper 80s, and near 90 degrees. Lets talk more about the tropical connection we could have with our weather. Whats left of hurricane marie, this moisture is going to get pulled to the north from a weather system that is on approach to the west coast. So watch the two try to come together, right there thursday into friday. As that system starts to approach, its going to dislodge High Pressure and bring us a decent chance of some rain, especially for parts of northern california. Once we get into friday and saturday. And whats encouraging at least this far out again you have to take a bit of a grain of salt with these longrange forecast, is both this european model and the american model did have that. Lets go back to that quickly. You can see this model has the rain across northern california, and the second model too, both paint a picture of rain. So going 2 for 2 in that longrange forecast is an encouraging sign. As we go through the week, warmest days will be over the next two days. Then we introduce those rain chances as early as friday maybe for the north bay. Then next saturday we could see a chance of that rain, which would also bring southwest winds, which is both good news for air quality and hopefully enough rain that could make a difference on some of those active fires, especially the august complex fire to the north and the glass fire there in the north bay.
