good morning to you, it's 5:30 on your tuesday morning. it's a live look at san jose. it is supposed to be beautiful today. good morning everyone. thank you for joining us. i'm scott mcgrew marcus has the day off. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's check in with vianey arana in for kari hall this morning with a look at a pretty nice forecast for the day. >> you have that shot of san jose, i have this gorgeous shot overlooking san francisco. look at how stunning that is. we are also expecting to see a nice shift in our weather pattern. remember yesterday we were talking about that dry and warming trend, well, it's here and it's going to stay for the next couple days. at least the warming part is anyway. right now the temperatures in the 30s for the north bay, 37 degrees napa, hayward 44,
5:31 am
mountain view 38 degrees. look at some of your daytime highs just to give you an idea of who how amazing today will be, 66 degrees for oakland, 70 degrees for san jose. we are technically still in the wintertime so this is definitely above seasonable and probably one of the warmest days we've seen so far in the bay area. we will stay warm but how long will we stay dry? i will have that answer coming up in just a bit. that question always makes me look for my umbrella. looking over here we knew we weren't going to see clear roadways over here on the bay bridge. the metering lights are on and the backup fills in all the lanes just in the last couple minutes things have filled in for all the cash lines there. there's bay bridge toll plaza itself and there is a crash reported on the approach to 580. we will track that and i will let you know as it affects your drive to the toll plaza. peninsula 101 approach from westbound 92 just cleared the

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez live in san jose with the reason why. good morning, kris. >> reporter: there is no gun show on the fair grounds marquis at this point, the next gun show isn't scheduled until april, but supervisor ken jaeger wants to stop the gun sales here on county property and he makes two main arguments, one, of course, is keeping guns off the streets of santa clara county, which he says is in line with the primary mission of the county, that is, the health and welfare of the people of santa clara, but the supervisor also makes a financial argument, there are only two gun shows here at the santa clara county fairgrounds and he says the county only made $6,000 off the code of the west
5:33 am
gun show in february. one counter argument is that ending gun shows could drive sales underground. >> if you are not doing it in the public eye under controlled circumstances i feel like there's just going to be, you know, back door deals going on. i mean, one way or the other you can't get rid of it so why not try to be a part of it and support it to the point where it's a little bit more controlled. >> reporter: so for perspective i pulled up a uc berkeley report on gun shows and gun violence that i covered back in october for you. it showed that there was a 70% spike in gun violence following gun shows in nevada. in california communities that were within driving distance, and that trend continued for two weeks after the nevada gun shows. there was no similar impact after california gun shows and some of the factors in that report seemed to be stricter regulations in our state and california's ten-day waiting period. santa clara county supervisors will take up this issue at their
5:34 am
meeting today. of course, you know that nbc bay area will be there. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." at 5:33 this morning, san francisco teachers are using a slice of ingenuity to support striking teachers in west virginia. the strike there is now in its second week. teachers are seeking a 5% wage increase, state senators are offering a 4% raise. san francisco teachers launched a go fund me page to provide striking teachers three days worth of pizza and water. their goal was to raise $15,000, but donations have shot well past that total. now to developing news. the search continues for former nfl star aldon smith. we're learning he is expected to surrender to san francisco police today meantime the raiders officially decided to cut that troubled player from the team. >> "today in the bay's" pete suratos joins us live from san francisco with what we're learning about the investigation. good morning, pete. >> reporter: good morning to
