A new poll shows the candidates running neck and neck in the Sunshine State are inside bay area politics analyst weighed in on what this means moving forward. New polling in florida shows that President Trump is actually leading joe biden among his facts effect late out nationwide. This election would be over early on election day there is also talk whether trump will have enough money theyve been spending a lot of money that is because republicans are knocking on doors and the democrats arent and that to tells me that the republican get out the vote effort it will be stronger than the democrats. This race and the polls are going to veer back and forth. Pauls counter an instant its harder to capture final impression until basically election day. Trumps challenge is to keep states like florida in his column and his lack of money is a problem and its a problem of his own making. So if more states than florida become paying competitive. I see the money gap closing. But buying can keep a 4 to 5 point lead in pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan term may have to do something hes never done before. Cough up his own money. The president has not put any of his own money into the 2020 campaign thus far he did put more than 50 million into his primary bid but did not fund his campaign in the general election as for joe biden hes due in michigan tomorrow he and his running mate senator Kamala Harris will be on the campaign trail for the rest of the week.

Tuesday night show in San Franciscos embarcadero fortunately not too much that too much wind outside joining us now chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow here to clear the air. Yeah like to do that certainly would that be nice i think were going to see some improving air quality in the coming days. Weve had well just some offshore winds and all the fires burning around the bay area but now looks certain to be a little breath of fresh air more of a sea breeze i think developing by tomorrow afternoon. Cummings going on youve got some low clouds and fog that settling down pretty thick cloud deck moving in right now above you can see its very hazy in the atmosphere that is some of that smoke outside toward the Golden Gate Bridge, not smoke that is fog that is flowing on through and were going to see some of that along the coastline, pretty typical of this time of year to get the strong ridge of High Pressure overhead and that compresses that marine air now wed like to mix out some of that smoke thats for sure its very poor air quality around a good part of the bay area very up or you get your way in the bottle into Napa Fairfield little martinez conquered and then pour aquatic stands in orange in Oakland Hayward freeman, little better along the coastline had a bit of a sea breeze pretty typical well see more that i think by tomorrow afternoon. Still another spare the air day or so that have the spots are you see that poor air weve got that offshore wind overnight tonight its going to take until the afternoon for that to switch gears and become more of a southwesterly wind more of a sea breeze so i think by tomorrow afternoon things begin to improve tonight that offshore wind stays in place High Pressure building in behind that low kick in to the east and that is providing some gusty winds over the mountain tops not so much down below, but red flag warnings up above a 1000 feet. Temperatures around the bay area right now were looking at 77 degrees in livermore 74 unconquered still 81 and warm in pittsburgh. Nye 60 into San Francisco that patchy fog and 64 degrees in oakland also looking at a couple of patches of fog there. Now as we head the night tonight still that smoke that haze out there some patchy fog hazy sunshine again tomorrow. I think some cooler temperatures today really snapped that heat wave as those temperatures dropping down as much as 20 30 degrees in some parts of the bay area and then cooling trend is going to continue right toward the weekend. And thats good news for us is weve had enough heat for some time low cloud and fog when together along the coastline. So thats going to be interesting you got that offshore wind up above but at the surface weve got enough of a westerly component to the wind to bring some low clouds and some fog least along the maybe just inside the bay and then tomorrow its going to be sent along the coast will keep those temperatures cool out along the coastline. We see that happen so that means were coming to an end of all the hot temperatures tonight a much more comfortable night to sleep instead of 60s, mid 70s like weve had finally some 50s and some 60s much better sleeping weather. Thats for sure temperatures tomorrow it will be hot inland still youll still see some 90s in the valleys lot of 70s 80s around the bay of 50s 60s and fog along the coast.
