hours notice a warning to the bay area that a strike could happen, this time they didn't. saying they just want to focus on reaching a deal. come friday morning they could decide to walk out. riders i spoke with are still irritated about the last strike. >> i had to carpool, i had to get on the shuttle. i had various options. it was taking my commute from a usual 30 minutes to two and three hours. >> are you surprised we're back in this position again? >> yes, i am. it's just like come on now. we've had the 60 days, how much longer do you guys need. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. workers last strike was in july and went on for a couple days. many were on vacation back then. now ridership is up, so the prediction is that it could be even worse for commuters if it happens this time. b.a.r.t. of course if it does happen will have shuttles again, ac transit and ferries stepping up as they did last time.

financial support grows. take the 49ers and their new stadium in santa clara. the paper wonder there would have been support for that project if coach jim harbaugh didn't get 49ers to the nfc championship. the premising it's easier for teams to upgrade when they are successful. another example the seattle mariners stuck in the kingdome for 18 seasons, voters strike down funding for a stadium. in '95 the team wins their division and voila the county approves funding. but the a's need first achieve that success by winning tonight against detroit. their track record is not promising. this is the sixth time since 20008 the a's are a game i way from taking the series and all of those five previous times the

team has lost. by the way, trending on twitter, hash tag gold. first pitch tonight just after 5:00. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. big game. i love when it comes down to a playoff. >> exactly. one of our bay area teams. >> time to get it on. 5:08. check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> good thing for the a's they have the home field advantage as we head throughout tonight and they are used to the weather that usually is over oakland. we head throughout day it's going to be really nice in oakland. just about as warm as what we expect in the south bay. this is from high atop san bruno mountain. almost 10 miles of visibility available to you. they aren't working with clouds, no fog to kick off your thursday.

schools. since ocean beach is a national park, it is part of the federal shutdown forcing organizers to cancel this year's contest. >> some are crying about it because they really wanted to do it but then they couldn't do it. i was about to cry but i just wanted to hold it in there. >> that's one of the hardest things about having to postpone this event is watching the faces of the kids and hearing how disappointed they are. >> the famed cliff house is also hurting. the restaurant is on park land. when owners tried to open earlier this week they were told if they didn't shut down they may never be able to open again. the owners say they are losing more than $10,000 a day and had to send away 170 employees. >> the trickle down feekt mind blowing. time to get this mess settled. mark your calendars, maybe put money aside. the twitter ipo will likely be november 15. scott mcgrew, some clever people

figuring out. >> analysts took a line by line look at twitter's s-1, document that the company files with the securities and exchange commission leading up to the ipo. they found a line that discusses when employees will be allowed to sell stock. now, the standard practice is to make them wait 90 days so. you do a little math and you get a filing date of november 15 for what it's worth. there is an interesting excerpt of a book about twitter talking about jack dorsey. he now runs the payment company square. it's a good read, "hatching twitter" will come out 10 days before the ipo. nick didn't plan it that way, it's just really, really, really amazing sar dipty. wall street seems to think washington might reach a deal on the dent. courtney has a look ahead to the trading day. good morning. >> good morning to you.

when it goes blue that's all free f. it's green you may be paying. blue, that's two iphones. >> always check it. >> got to stay in contact. thank you. >> we do a lot of texting around here. >> you have strong thumbs. >> probably so. we could have a tex-a-thon. >> you would win. >> i want to check in with christina loren. >> our little one, two, three, four. i don't want to take you down on tv. it's live. 5:17. good morning. we have a good looking day shaping up especially if you have been enjoying the weather we've had lately. yesterday we had some clouds, a little shower activity down in the south bay. but from santa rosa all the way to palo alto, it was crystal clear and comfortable. as we head throughout day everybody gets to enjoy that beautiful clear sky. it's cold throughout this morning. bundle up. something you can peel off later. temperatures jumping from the 40s into the 70s later on today. so this is what we're working

with. i want to show you what i think is going to make for an absolutely stunning sunrise this morning. that doesn't happen till after 7:00 a.m. but you can see these high and mid level clouds moving into the bay area, they make for the most spectacular sunrises you can get. so we're watching for that for you. hopefully we'll be able to show you live pictures. look at this, widespread 70s on the way for today. 76 in concord, 73 degrees on the way to redwood city. oakland today, what a beautiful day for a ball game. 72 degrees for game 5, tigers versus the a's. all that action, it's going to be great. a little bit of wind but our boys are used to it. 5:00 p.m., 68, by 7:00, 65, temperatures dropping off, don't forget to wear your yellow. that's what the oakland a's are asking us to do as we head to the game. friday, saturday and sunday temperatures warm up, like summertime almost into monday and tuesday, then we'll cool you off toward the end of next week.

i hate to say it, mike, but our next rain event looks like the week of halloween and we might have showers on halloween. talking about picking out costumes yesterday. what are your kids going as? >> apparently something with a rain slicker. we'll watch for that. things change so she's always on top of that. we'll track it. look at this, no need to track much as far as incidents or slowing for the bay area. a wider shot of our bay. we'll call out a couple of key spots on the fringes, westbound highway 4 and where you see the speed coming down over the last few minus. over 20 we'll see speeds in toward the 20s. here out of the altamont pass, the build off 205 at 580, they merge into livermore. there is one issue, debris as you approach north livermore avenue. the rest of the tri-valley, these are the the commute directions, 580, 84 and 680. no more problems over to the

toward a beale that b.a.r.t. management backed off. b.a.r.t. says that's not what happened, that the unions claim it took back an offer are more of a misunderstanding. before in the past the unions had given 72 hours notice to the public, a warning that the bay area could have to deal with a b.a.r.t. strike. this time they didn't do that saying they wanted to focus on reaching a deal. come friday morning they could decide to walk out again. one rider just told me the whole thing was made worse when he realized his friend a b.a.r.t. worker makes 26 bucks an hour. >> i'm not going to ride b.a.r.t. they are going to lose my money. it's nothing compared to what they make. i'm not going to sponsor my money to theirs whatever they got going on because somebody wants to make more. so i'll give a two month suspension. >> you'll stay off. >> i'll drive or you know, those auto cars, other resources.

>> b.a.r.t. workers last went on strike in july but many were on vacation. it was summer. now ridership is up so the sthaut that this could potentially be worse for commuter this is go-round if a strike does happen. if it does b.a.r.t. will have extra shuttles, ac transit will have ferries, they will have extra service but we could see gridlock again. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you. it's 5:33. we have an update on the body found at san francisco general hospital in the stairwell. the family spokesperson tells us the san francisco medical examiner confirmed it is the body of missing patient lynne spalding. however, there is no cause of death at this time. more tests under way. a hospital worker found spalding's body more than two weeks after she disappeared from her hospital room. family members say she may have been confused because of medication she was taking. >> three months after a young

oakland girl went missing a special prayer vigil on her second birthday. the family of daphne web not giving up hope she will be found alive. they will hold that vigil at the intersection of 79th avenue and international boulevard where baby daphne was first reported missing back on july 10. the vigil starts at 4:00 p.m. >> the city of san carlos is preparing to spend a quarter million dollars to look into the safety after pipeline. they want to spend the money to hire a team of experts to investigate whether a pg&e pipeline running through the city is dangerous. he plans to ask the council for approval at a meeting on monday. two days ago the cpuc ordered pg&e to keep the natural gas pipeline shut down after e-mails and concerns about erosion and cracks. >> aldon smith could go from rehab into jail. prosecutors charged smith for

illegally possessing three assault weapons he purchased in arizona. they charged him with misdemeanor dui after that september crash that prompted him to enter rehab and take a leave of absence. the 24-year-old is expected to surrender to face charges. he could spend up to four months in prison if convicted. the charges filed against smith after an investigation into a 2012 party at his home, that was in the east san jose foothills. during that party smith was stabbed and two people were shot when asked about this, 49ers head coach would not say specifically whether the all-pro player would play again this season. >> one win and the oakland a's are heading to the american league championship game. could that win lead to something bigger than a possible trip to the world series? bob redell live at o.co and why it may be more than do or die. >> reporter: yes, a win for the

a's against the detroit tigers here obviously not only moves them on to the american league championship. it could help them move on to a new stadium as well. you're asking how could this be. this was brought in the "san francisco chronicle." the paper points out when sports teams do well financial support gross. take the 49ers and their new stadium going up in santa clara. the paper wonders if there would have been support for a project like that if coach harbaugh didn't get them to the nfc championship. the the premising it's easier for teams stuck in old stadiums to upgrade when they are successful. another example brought up, the seattle mariners stuck in the kingdome for 18 seasons, voters strike down funding for a new stadium. then here comes 1995, the team

wins their division. the county approves funding for what is now safeco field. they need to win tonight's game, their track record is not promising. the sixth time the a's have been game away from taking the american league division series. in all of those five previous times they lost. by the way, trending on twitter now, hash tag gold out the movement trying to get folks to wear gold to support the oakland a's. the first pitch just after 5:00. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. here is a look at both arenas now. oracle on the left and o.co on the right. pink will be performing. the a's getting down at o.co, and keep a note if you happen to take b.a.r.t. to either, if they

go past midnight you could be stuck. keep that in mind. >> if you need a ride. >> plan ahead. >> we'll be here early as well. monitoring the forecast for us is meteorologist christina loren as always. >> good morning to you. it's a chilly start, temperatures already in the mid-40s up in the north bay. these are going to continue to fall. as we head through the next 2 1/2 to three hours closer to sunrise. right around 7:05. it will be the coldest point of the day so dropping off temperaturewise. 42 in gilroy, closer to the upper 30s here. this is what we expect through the day. we had that system come through t jet stream now right on top of us. that's going to usher in cool air all day long. so temperatures are going to be just as cool. just about is what we expect here. not a big appearance throughout this afternoon. 76 degrees on the way to

livermore, 76 for fairfield and 74 down in gilroy. santa cruz, i kept you in the upper 60s because we expect patchy fog to linger. that's the only place, though, not making it in the 70s on this map. highly unusual. let's see how unusual or usual your drive is. >> it's the usual but that doesn't mean its good. the bay bridge, we have the backup which starts to form. these folks know the cash payers have to wait. we look at the maps we see the entire bay area looking pretty much in the green, starting to see yellow toward 60 but the red and orange kick in for the east bay. ant wok. just like we talked about in a read zone. here at the altamont path. livermore, pleasanton and dublin.

84 shows a difference in speed. a quick look at fremont action southbound 880. we're building the volume and we'll show you coming up. >> it's 5:40. pretty wild scene at libya. new developments after its prime minister is kidnapped. new details just in. >> another way the government shutdown affects every day life. >> the government shutdown hurting the volume beer industry.

minister was freed. he tweeted that he was fine, thank god he said, and that if the point of this operation was to get him to resign, he does not plan to resign. ali zeidan had been under investigation for bribery and corrupti corruption. while we unusually thought this capture initially described as abduction or kidnapping, at first we thought it may have something to do with the raid, the u.s. raid over the weekend that capture add top al qaeda operative. it looks like it was not terror related. it was former rebel groups that loosely work with the libyan government on security who had political differences with the prime minister. but he is back, he has been freed. and now emergency meetings are capping with the cabinet to get a sense of what the situation is there now after the prime minister was returned. >> tracie potts, appreciate the update as always.

it's 5:43. the secretary of the treasury is on capitol hill talking about the debt limit. a live look at jack lew testifying before the finance committee. one of the things lew is expected to say is congress does not raise the debt limit by october 17, the u.s. may not be able to pay its debt. in the meantime, house republican leaders will visit the white house today to talk about the debt ceiling. president obama had invited the full republican caucus but speaker john boehner is only bringing the house leadership team and committee chairs to talk about the government shutdown. president obama met with the house democratic k iic caucus. >> the shutdown is hurting the craft beer industry. the agency known as the tax and trade bureau now responsible for approving new applications for brews and labels. because the agency is closed, nothing is getting approved.

for beer lovers, that means seasonal suds especially ones made for the holidays, probably will not make to the your shelves. >> we live in california so we kind of don't have seasons so we need those, the pumpkin spice indicator so to speak. that will be a shame that we can't sample new things. >> got serious need for ingredients for the brew. among the companies affected, gordon beers here in san jose, it has several new beer labels waiting for permits and they are all on hold because of the ongoing shutdown. >> it's 5:45. congratulations to author canadian author alison rowe. she is was awarded the noble prize in literature. her stories include dear life and dance of the happy shades. previous winners include rudyard kipling and ernest hemingway.
