  • Times are Pacific standard time. Prices only where a cited page lists them.
Not verified
  1. Yelp ratings (blocked) and Michelin pages (not re-opened; restaurant notes carried).
  2. Warriors vs. Miami Heat on Thu Nov 5 shows on a schedule feed but wasn't confirmed on nba.com (the NBA schedule feed didn't load this run), so it's left off the list.
  3. Valkyries parade organizer page not opened; details come from SFMTA.
  4. Election Day polling hours not checked.
  5. Fares, Lyft Bike, Lime and Spin pricing and SFO notes not re-checked; restaurant hours not checked.
  6. BART Yellow Line and Powell entrance items carried from the 2 pm brief, not re-read on bart.gov news pages.

What changed since the last brief (Mon 2:05 pm): No major changes. No new Caltrans District 4 posts, the NWS forecast and Beach Hazards Statement are unchanged, and BART shows only its planned Millbrae–SFO–Daly City delays. Monday night's games and Día de los Muertos procession have passed and are dropped; the window now runs Tue–Thu.
