thanks so much for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. >> first, we want to start with meteorologist kari hall with a look at the forecast. >> i was asleep and i heard the wind blowing and the howling of the wind and those winds were gusting in my area in san jose. >> yeah, we are seeing some of those gusty winds starting to pick up in spots. during the overnight hours and we're looking at a few more clouds moving in but overall we're not going to see any major problems today. just a little bit of a change as we get ready for a slightly cooler day and that cold front coming in means that we will have a comfortable afternoon. we'll see those temperatures at noon in the mid 70s. make some plans to get out and enjoy it. temperatures in the 80s and look to today's forecast some spots in the mid 80s and some spots coming down compared to what we had recently. we'll talk more about this and a hot weekend ahead coming up in a

few minutes. mike, how is it looking in the early morning drive? >> we'll take what chp reported as well as what very clear view problems for the cars reported by drivers. we're looking out to the maps. i circled the area where they talked about the wind chp and green sensors all around and no major problems right now. send it back to you. >> thanks, mike. fire crews busy for three hours containing a vegetation fire and showing the firefighters dousing the flames. it started around 11:15 last night and charred about six acres. the cause of that fire under investigation. no homes were threatened. fire crews say that this is a good reminder to everyone out there on how dry the brush is across the bay area.

later today, workers at tesla will protest the carmakers for mistreatment during the red, bob? >> a number of things, laura. that tesla fired employees who refused to work over covid-19 concerned. they accused ceo elon musk of covering up a covid-19 pandemic in the fremont plant behind me. they want the plant shut down for a deep cleaning and asking the alameda county health department to do contact tracing instead of tesla performing the function. the workers will protest outside the health department in oakland. you'll recall yesterday we reported on three former employees who were fired after accepting tesla's offer to stay at home over fears over the coronavirus. when musk reopened his factory in may, he did send a letter to

his employees that if they, quote, feel uncomfortable coming back to work at this time, please do not feel obligated to do so. by the end of june tesla told those workers they abandoned their jobs and fired them. one had a newborn with respiratory issues and one had recent heart surgery and tesla has not responded but in a public hearing that it is not true that they fired those employees. incidentally, "forbes" is reporting that tesla is the most valuable car company in the world. reporting live here in fremont, bob redell. >> all right, bob, thank you. we're finding out about another potential victim of covid-19. we're talking about the oakland zoo and the 700 animals that

live there. the facility has been closed since march and may have to close for good unless it is allowed to reopen. terry mcsweeney reports. >> reporter: something missing at the oakland zoo. no where can you find hopeople. >> we are living on our reserve and we only have three months of reserves left. >> reporter: oakland zoo's ceo said it cost $2.5 million per month to operate this month. the federal ppe money is spent and the situationdire. all he really wants is the zoo to be allowed to reopened and that will take county public health officials to reclassify the zoo. >> museums have been authorized to open and that's in stage two, which is allowed. but the state has placed zoos in stage three. >> our attempts to contact county officials after hours were unsuccessful.

this family lives near the zoo and loves to take the kids there and the parents both workedzo . >> zoo officials say they have a solid social distancing plan to reopen and if county officials are looking for another one, they can ask raymond llamas. >> i think it would be okay to do that. close down the food court and the rides and allow them to open up the zoo portion. >> reporter: if the nonprofit which operates the zoo goes under, management of the facility would revert to the city of oakland. terry mcsweeney, nbc bay area news. this is for violating public gathering rules. dennis herrera sent the
