u.s. parks and memorials and also to reopen the national institutes of health which had to turn away 200 patients including kids with cancer. senate democrats say no, they want to fund the whole government all at one time. and this is all after that relatively unsuccessful meeting at the white house as the shutdown continues so are the protests on capitol hill. small business owners are coming here, they are going to tell laum thers is bad for business. jon, the longer this continues the more likely it is that this fight to fund the government is going to coincide with the fight to raise the debt limit so that the nation can pay its bills. the fights are thicker and thirker. >> uklier all the way around. thank you very much for the update. >> now to an nbc bay area follow-up. there is more confusion surrounding the launch of covered california t state's health insurance exchange. officials say it's unclear how many people tried to access the

the bay area is low pressure to the east, high pressure from the west so north winds accelerating especially tonight on into friday morning. and we will see these wind gusts as we get toward the evening now or wind speed, sustained winds at almost 30 miles per hour, napa county into contra costa counties. watch those areas in orange and red. if you can see that, all around the bay area as the strongest winds arrive tomorrow morning, the time we'll see the red flag warnings. usually we see humidity levels recovering but that's not going to be the case. fire danger unfortunately high but for the a's game this is a nice pattern to have for friday evening. we're looking at 70s around game time. just after 6:30 for friday evening. the weather looking nice. today, near 75 in san jose, upper 70s in the warmer places around the bay. if you want to find the hottest temperatures saturday will be the day. we'll see temperatures climbing 10 to 15 degrees.
