6:01 am
wondering and they're going to be changes. but i think it is the changes might be warm today, john. yes, today is the warmest year. exactly right. we're looking at a beautiful afternoon ahead of us with plenty of sunshine. >> temperatures some cases will be into the mid to upper 70's. right now, though, one thing that you have different from yesterday specs little foggy out there. take a look at this view from suture tower. and you can see that blanket of fog sitting right in the middle of san francisco right now. we are seeing the return of the cool ocean breeze back into the bay and that's transporting some of that ocean. cool. there are right back our direction. so yesterday was an offshore wind totally different today. that's if you have some low visibility. the reason why right there otherwise once those clouds burn off, we're going to be looking at a gorgeous, sunny afternoon and those warm temperatures. we mentioned 40's to 50's for your current numbers. don't forget the jacket. if you're heading out this morning later on much like yesterday, probably won't be needing it too much as we will see. so many of our daytime highs well into the 70's, right? all

we're talking 4,000 nurses who won't be on the job. they're looking for a pay raise. they're looking for better working conditions. now i'm at santa clara valley medical center. that's one of the locations. the other is o'connor. and that's in san jose. and the 3rd hospital. it's saint louise regional in gilroy. they will be on strike all the way until early friday morning. this is not an indefinite strike. this is only 3 days but the impact already felt because just to bring in the replacement nurses and to reschedule the appointments, reportedly it will cost the county about 20 million dollars. the nurses are looking for a substantial pay raise. the county has already offered a 10.5% pay raise with the nurses have rejected that. which is why instead of being at the bargaining table, they will be on the picket lines. emergency services will still be available. you will have that in case something horrible

6:17 am
southern sierra lagging just a little bit but not significant. most of that snow pack really builds in these regions. and that's a little something that we love to see. we started the season a little short. obviously we caught right up and even exceeded expectations in the northern sierra today is going to be a dry one for the sierra. if you do have some friends that are up there skiing, it's going to be a lovely day for it. we're looking at dry skies all across the state. in fact, here in the bay area today, we are seeing this high-pressure ridge in place, but that low to my north is going to dive in later this week and switch things up for us result in more snow in the mountains and eventually some more rain right here in the bay. let's time it out. so today we've got the morning fog. we're going to have plenty of afternoon sunshine, very pleasant. feel to it today. tomorrow, a cool breeze from the coast pushes in along with some mostly cloudy skies. tomorrow is still going to be relatively mild. but we're also going to be just a little bit less comfortable for the shorts and t-shirts that you may have had on yesterday. it's thursday when we see the official return of rainfall.
6:18 am
now your skies are going to be dry during thursday morning, but thursday afternoon into the evening and was when showers will start to push in. as for today, no chance of rain just yet very similar to yesterday. here's a couple of the differences were going to be a little cooler at the coastline. that's because we've seen a sea breeze kicked back into gear. but our inland areas are likely actually going to be a little bit warmer than yesterday. that's going to put san jose in campbell up to 77 degrees today. spots like livermore up to 75 oakland on up to richmond. you're going to hang on to those 60's but conquered pittsburg, antioch. well, up to 76 degrees for your highs today. getting a look ahead to tomorrow's temperatures. a little bit cooler skies on the cloudier side by thursday into friday. we do have showers pushing back into the region should be during thursday afternoon into early friday. and then just a generally cooler rest of the forecast after that rain. all right, john, thanks for tracking an accident along 80. this is at ashby avenue in berkeley. >> so things are a little slow
6:19 am
traffic starting to build there about 23 minutes from crockett down towards the maze. you can take some possible avenue if you want to, however you can still get through. these are just taking a little longer. there. they right now. maybe lights are on 13 minute ride into the city or san matteo bridge around 14, 81 on one 10 on our highways like 101 of the south bay. just a little slow into traveling to sunnyvale. 36 minute ride. 85 to menlo park. but to 82 2.37, you're still looking good and east bay san leandro starting along to 38 to 37. yeah. the short 24 minutes. just slight slowing through hayward. what you may get out of that you look at areas is back to you. >> thank you very much for 86. 18 is the time. and police in oakland are investigating a hit and run crash that killed a man yesterday morning. emergency crews found the person lying in the road near 98th avenue in san leandro street. the victim's name has not yet been released. no word on a suspect either. we'll keep you updated as we learn more. meanwhile, a suspect was arrested after a woman was found dead at a home in san

jose. investigators say body was found sunday afternoon on mill pond. drive. apparently she had signs of physical trauma, a suspeco who was at the house at the time was arrested and booked into jail and is now facing a charge of murder. >> it's 6.19, and another big story for your money, the statewide minimum wage for fast-food workers in california is up. as you know. now it's $20 an hour and that's for fast food workers that work at large chains, vitality bowls is one of the businesses affected by this new law and the owner of 2 locations in san jose says it's going to make it challenging for his to run him to run as shops. >> but definitely, you know, going to have to increase prices to cover the cost. real possibilities cutting hours for my employees, which is that good. and also possibly layoffs for small business. you know, weise is minds of the family business. i have my
6:21 am
wife, 2 sons. and basically, you know, there's a potential if things don't improve with the higher prices that customers stop coming in, that we will shut down and, you know, then basically people jobs. >> so you can see it's affecting franchise businesses. it's affecting big chains jack in the box worker spoke to us in spanish saying that previously it was difficult to afford the basics on their pay. and she's feeling that this extra money is going help help her to be able to for the high cost of living. >> more to tell you a little bit. it's going to really be a relief for me because things continue to go gas big expenses. and as i mentioned, helped write my son to with all of those expenses. and so this is going to be a huge relief for for me and my family. >> and remember, we told you that there were exemptions for restaurants as to which ones have to pay the $20 an hour. the exemptions include
6:22 am
restaurants in airports, museums, hotels, theme park, restaurants, event centers it it applies not too small. >> a change of franchise are mom and pop places. it's have to be i believe it was 60. >> or more nationwide. and those who worked on this law say it's they're already covered in the living wage laws, businesses that they can sell bread stand-alone. they're exempt. by the way. so there's lots of exemptions and the restaurant's know if they're exempt or not. but there has been a lot of concern as we've talked about from owners saying they may pass along the costs. >> to you and me, when we go to eat out, i guess we'll see. it's 6.21, coming up on them kron. 4 morning news. the biden administration is putting new restrictions on. >> short term health insurance plans. we're going to tell you how that might affect 6.24.

6:27 am
following how effective that is too. meanwhile, in the north bay, the county of marin is considering buying a former golf course property up in san jeronimo to make it into a new headquarters for the fire department. that property is located on francis drake boulevard. it connects west marin with highway 101 and it would improve public safety by shortening the response times and expanding the crews scope of fire services, the purchase price for the property would be about 4.5 million dollars. we're going to take a break here at 6.26. but coming up next on the kron, 4 morning news, united airlines had another issue that prevented it from completing its flight to sfo. >> tell you what that was >> tell you what that was coming up in just a moment.

6:32 am
its title conference. michael thomas is in the newsroom with the latest on this. good morning, michael. yeah, good morning, everyone. lots of debate here. oakland's new proposed airport name is said to be san francisco bay oakland international airport. >> and keep in mind, it's still needs to be approved. but even the idea of it is not sitting well with some san franciscans, especially city officials, which is why there's a scheduled vote to officially trying to oppose it. so the possible name change was announced last week by the port of oakland which believes changing the name could help bring more travelers to oakland airport. adding that right now, most travelers don't even realize how close oakland is to san francisco or that it's even in the bay area. after the announcement, san francisco supervisor aaron peskin did post who acts formally known as twitter saying imitation is the highest form of flattery and that the idea isn't necessarily neighborly. adding to it. sfo officials also commented saying they don't like the idea on your screen now are the 2 name changes of what it could be and what it is. and, you know, as officials say they've used
6:33 am
this name san francisco since the late 20's making it recognizable for travelers that are heading to the bay area and adding that to the oakland airport would essentially confuse people that are trying to get to and through sfo over the years, airlines have cut and added flights to oakland airport. and if the name change does happen, will the big question is what travelers still prefer flying into sfo rather than oakland? keep in mind, this name change has not been made. official. oakland commissioners still need to consider it at a board meeting. that's not even set until later on this month. so within the next few hours, i'm actually going head over to oakland airport here from travelers this morning on what their thoughts are since we already know exactly what city officials here in san francisco have to say about it live this morning in the newsroom. michael thomas story change we know of the bay area and i would find it confuse alongside in living here. and that's the argument is that? yeah, you think you're booking a flight to san francisco and you find hope you're landing in the bay somewhere. michael,
6:34 am
thank you. >> all right. well, morrish we're talking about flying more issues for united airlines this time. it was a flight traveling to sfo from frankfurt, germany, that had to return to the airport after. >> a toilet overflowed in the more than just calling a kron four's rob nesbitt reports. >> united airlines has been a hot topic on social media and in the news the last few months. but travel experts are not seeing changes in trends when it comes to bookings. it seems that travelers still find convenience and price to be the most important passengers traveling on a united flight from frankfurt, germany, to sfo friday. >> had a less than pleasant experience when one of the plane's toilets overflowed my deter me from passengers were accommodated in hotels in frankfurt and put on a different flight the next day. >> i spoke with travel industry analyst henry harteveldt about the incident that happened on the united flight between frankfurt and francisco was embarrassing. we don't know the cause of it, whether it was caused >> a passenger who may put
6:35 am
something down the toilet that shouldn't have gone down there or whether there was a problem with the lavatory that was not discovered before the aircraft left frankfurt, a united spokesperson said the incident involved a maintenance issue with one of the aircraft's lavatories. the latest in a series of mechanical and safety issues involving the airline. but it did not deter travelers like vincent wong for booking united for us. we don't we're not really. >> committee need. >> airline, just whatever is easiest passes that our schedule. that seems to be the industry trend. according to heart of belt, he says that united ceo scott kirby send e-mail to members of the airlines mileageplus. loyalty is program acknowledging the recent maintenance issues and promising an increase of training for maintenance workers. and yes, united has unfortunately had a series of problems and many of them it involves flights to or from san francisco. >> but i'm not hearing or seeing any data that's just people are quitting united norton. i think anyone should harteveldt says the ntsb will
6:36 am
not be investigating the united flight that had the toilet overflow since they only investigate the most serious incidents. the faa has said that it will be stepping up its oversight of united sending more inspectors to airports reporting it fo i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> 6.35. right now and the a's and the city of oakland are set to meet today about a lease extension for the coliseum. and if that doesn't work out, that the a's could be heading up to sacramento as they are in limbo until the vegas digs are down the a's current lease in oakland runs out after this season and the team needs to play somewhere because going couple years before the vegas ballpark is done. former president of the miami marlins, david sampson says sacramento could be a frontrunner to land the a's in the interim years. the team's decision could boil down to finances. >> the biggest issue that i see face in sacramento is that
6:37 am
wherever oakland plays there has to be union approval. if it's outside of oakland and the question owners will ask is how much money are we going to be giving to the a's during this quote, unquote, interim period? >> the a's could end up temporarily playing at center health park. sampson says the mine early park would need some major upgrades though. sacramento's mayor released this statement saying in part, it's important to me to express my sincere hope that the a's remain in oakland. i have been consistent in my support for this from the very beginning. however, i believe that sacramento has so much to offer would be a fantastic temporary landing spot for the a's. >> well, a jury trial involving tesla is slated to begin next week after a crash involving a 2 year-old toddler who was behind the wheel in santa clara county. the lawsuit filed states a south bay woman was 8 months pregnant when her son crawled
6:38 am
into the driver's seat. this was back in 2018. the mother claims her son somehow turned on the tesla and crashed into their garage, pinning her between the tesla and the wall of the garage. the neighbor reversed the vehicle and the pregnant woman luckily survived, but did suffer some serious injuries. a jury is set to determine whether tesla's technology was responsible for the crash and we'll see what they say. >> dozens of rideshare drivers are asking for higher pay and better working conditions and they rallied outside the san francisco headquarters of uber and lyft yesterday. they say that their pay is low. the fees are high and there are dangerous working conditions for them. they think the companies have made it difficult for the drivers to earn a living. >> a lot of the drivers sleep in the car to come from far away from sacramento and they're homeless in their cars. so what humanity is that to someone have to sleep in

6:40 am
the white house is spending the move as a way to protect consumers, arguing that short term plans do not offer comprehensive care. they're being told that you can pay this incredibly low pricing, a good insurance, but it turns out it's not. but in terms factors are really insurance at all. >> but critics say the biden administration just wants people to stick with its own brand of affordable care. >> saying it is taking away consumer choices and creating another problem. >> creates gaps in health insurance. some health policy experts are calling the rule change. >> dangerous saying that people who get sick now, arlen short-term insurance, we'll have no options if they hit their 4 months limit outside the affordable care enrollment period. the biden administration is throwing sick people out of their health insurance in the event of an insured for up to 12 months. that same policy expert says most short-term plans. in fact, do provide comprehensive coverage and labeling them as john key says, is wrong. it's not only
6:41 am
