name change. >> they think it will be confusing. we'll have more on that. i'm daria and i'm james. yeah. before we get to that, though, let's step outside. we've got a beautiful start to this tuesday morning where this from high above mount tam looking over the clouds. very nice. and it's going to be pretty warm today, john. yeah, for a lot of us today is going to be a warmer day than yesterday. san jose. i've got you up to 77 degrees this afternoon. so >> definitely getting on the warmer side of things. we do have the return of fog to the coastline, which to the adverse is actually going to keep the coast a little bit cooler than yesterday was this is your view from sutro tower right now. the reason because that fog is pushed back in. we are seeing the return of an onshore breeze that's carrying that cool coastal air right back into the bay. yesterday was an offshore wind so complete different direction. watch for a few low visibility spots, especially in the north bay. aside from that skies will clear out really nicely this afternoon. and we've got another day of sunshine and warmth just around the corner. 40's to 50's for our current temperatures later on today, we will be looking at a range of 60's at the coast to 70's

further inland right now. all right, john, thank you for that probably back to work and school and it shows the high was starting to pick up get busier. >> the team in a ride into the city this morning. no accidents hazards there. little bit slower along san mateo bridge about 22 minutes getting on and off. that bridge is going take a little extra time. richmond center fell bridge 13 minutes last hour about 15 and the golden gate bridge. 37 in the tolls. 23 minute ride that reaches get to that strike now. santa clara county nurses are on strike. they are. yeah, it's expected to last. >> a few days kron four's will tran been following. the story joins us now live from san jose with the latest and the picket lines which are supposed to be happening right now, right? well. >> and it is happening right now. they sho ed up at around 6.50, this morning in full force. this is one of 3 hospitals in santa clara county. and i'll step out of the way and you can clearly see now it's a public relations battle. they want the public to support them

against the county, which are their bosses right now instead of being inside, they are outside. this is at santa clara valley medical center. the other 2 hospitals we're talking o'connor. that's in san jose in the other one is saint louise regional in gilroy. not to mention 13 clinics at them all together. and we are talking 4,000 nurses, so emergency services are still available. non emergency services. they will probably be pushed back because they don't have the manpower takes to take care of all of your needs. you can still see people pulling into the hospital. but they only have 1000 replacement nurses, and that clearly does not cover 4,000 on the picket lines. this will happen all the way through early friday morning that nurses are looking for a pay raise not to mention, they say safer working conditions. the county

is offering a 10.5% pay raise. but the nurses say that is simply not enough, especially with what they are asked to do, which is why they broke off negotiations and they are hitting the picket lines. we will talk to them as the morning moves on. but again, this is not an depth in that strike where we have seen that weather on the picket line for as long as it takes for them to reach a contract. we do know with certainty it will be back at work early friday morning. and this is, by the way, costing the county reportedly millions of dollars to bring in the nurses not to mention rescheduling all of those appointments. back to you. all right. thanks a lot. we'll. >> 703, is the time. and developing this morning, traffic was blocked on northbound as barry and boulevard between spring lake drive in colby street was closed at about 8.30, last night. northbound lanes have since reopened. and we have gotten word yet on what caused that closure. but we're looking to find that out. meanwhile, in the north bay, 3 people now recovering after being shot in a safeway

adding that right now, most travelers who are around the world don't realize or know how close oakland is to san francisco. >> or even that it's in the bay area. they say after the announcement was made, san francisco supervisor aaron peskin posted to act woman known as twitter essentially saying intimidation or excuse excuse intended basically thing trying to name a temperate cisco. it's a form of flattery and that the idea isn't really neighborly. adding that sfo officials also don't really like the idea. and they did say that we've got details on your screens. you can see with the current name is over to what the new name would be. no sfo. officials say they've been using the name san francisco since the late 20's making it recognizable for travelers were trying to get to the city that if they added the name san francisco to oakland airport, will just be confusing for people trying to get through and to sfo over the years we have seen airlines cut an ad flights to oakland airport. so if that name change does officially happen, the big question would

be what travelers really know the difference. and back out here live. keep in mind, nothing has been made. official oakland commissioner still need to actually finalized that not meetings, not even set until the end of the month, but this morning we're hoping to talk with travelers see if they actually intentionally plan to come to oakland if they know the difference between the 2 and hopefully we catch them. people who are either international or even just from across the country. so darya james, it's a very you know, disagreement between the 2 sides of the bay right now. so hopefully we'll get some answers at some point. if this name change does go official and what these travelers have to say about it this morning. live this morning in oakland, michael thomas, back to to live in the studio. okay. thanks a lot. okay. 7.33. is the time more issues for united airlines. by the way, this time it was a flight heading. >> to sfo and the issue was a toilet overflow. let's see what happened after that happen. >> united airlines has been a hot topic on social media and in the news the last few months. but travel experts are
