say beach day? >> it's about as good as it gets. we're going 85 in santa cruz today. but anywhere you want to go, i don't care, ocean beach, stinson beach in the 70s. clear skies, a little cold for some mainly inland. not too bad on the coast, they're getting a puff of an offshore breeze. it's high pressure aloft, and that means 70s and 80s. a lot of low 80s. 38 santa rosa, 38 napa. 57 san fransisco. and i think i saw a 59 half- moon bay. it's going to be really mild to warm, santa rosa starting off at 38. you got that right. we'll go for a high of 83 today. also in this kind of a pattern, santa rosa napa will warm up along with oakland and over to san fransisco. 24 up in tahoe. 41 ukiah. 30s in lake county. i can find a patch of fog down by san diego and that's about it. high pressure is here and it's not going anywhere. sunny and warm once things get going. sunshine and really nice over by the coast today. temperatures definitely warming up. i could be a little underdone on these. upper 70s, low 80s for everybody. here's sal. good morning, traffic is going to be busy now if you're getting on to the morning commute. let's go out and take a look at some live pictures. you can see traffic here. it's moving along relatively well at the toll plaza for this time of the morning. this is normal commute. they turn the metering lights on. it's backed up to about the end of the parking lot. it could get busier as people may not have waited around to see what was happening. it could be more of a traffic issue today because people may have made other plans. we're looking at interstate 880 and that traffic looks okay. there are no major problems by the way on 580 or 880. westbound 205 at mountain house is an overturned garbage truck. san jose there's a serious crash. we're going to bring you a picture of that coming up in just a moment. now let's go back to the desk. we are following breaking news this morning on the b.a.r.t. labor dispute, if you are just waking up and joining us, b.a.r.t. trains are running today, but still no deal has been reached. just about 30 minutes ago we were watching as the federal mediator walked out of the meeting and gave us an update saying both sides will continue negotiations later on this afternoon. no specific time was given. they are taking a break. b.a.r.t. workers had threatened to go on strike today if that contract deal was not reached by midnight. late last night both sides agreed to continue negotiating past that deadline. >> the bargaining has produced some constructive and productive progress, and i am authorized by the parties to say they are prepared to continue negotiations through the night. >> b.a.r.t. workers walked off the job for nearly five days in july. if there's another strike, b.a.r.t. has already trained a dozen managers to work as train operators. many b.a.r.t. riders say they're tired of going to bed at night not knowing for sure how they'll get to work. janine de la vega is talking to commuters at the fremont b.a.r.t. station this morning. i can imagine a lot of frustrated commuters this morning janine. >> reporter: yes, the word i keep hearing is stress. this whole situation is stressing riders out. they want an agreement, and they want this to end. a lot of riders say it's hard to figure out when to go to sleep because they're staying up and watching the news to see if there will be a strike, and then they're setting their alarms early to see if trains will be running. b.a.r.t. workers some thanking them they haven't striked yet. others are upset and criticizing them. some commuters have told us it feels as if they're being held hostage by b.a.r.t. and the union. others say they're hopeful because the two sides are still talking. >> in a sense it is a good thing. maybe they'll get it resolved soon enough, you know. hopefully they'll get it done because this is too much. this is crazy. >> too much suspense? >> yes. >> the whole thing is so upsetting. my opinion they should fire every single one of them and hire people who wants to work. they don't want to work that's it. i mean what is this. when they do all this they keep raising the fare. it costs me $12 a day just to go one way from here to 16th 16th street. it's not fair. >> so some strong opinions from riders. patience is running thin, but we just have no choice but to wait. reporting live from fremont janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 news. the trains are running. riders have been encouraged to have that plan b. alex savidge is at the ferry terminal in oakland keeping an eye on the traffic out there. alex. >> reporter: good morning and the first ferry of the morning just left from the oakland terminal headed over to san fransisco. they were just a handful of people on board that ferry. we'll have to wait and see as we move throughout the morning if more of the ferries become more crowded throughout the day. obviously because of the uncertainty about the b.a.r.t. strike situation, a lot of people made those backup plans and made plans to take the ferry today in case there was a strike, and some people could stick with those plans even though the trains are still running. during the last b.a.r.t. strike back in july the ferry was certainly a popular option. commuters lined up early here at the oakland terminal and other terminals in vallejo and alameda. because a b.a.r.t. strike will not happened to, ferries will be operating on a normal schedule but if a strike does happen sometime in the near future, every available ferry would be put into service and thereby there would be direct service from alameda's main terminal and in addition those ferries would be running every 45 minutes which is more frequent than normal. earlier this morning i talked with one regular b.a.r.t. rider who showed up to take the ferry into the city, and he decided to take the ferry because he went to bed thinking there would be a strike. >> i do whatever it takes to get to work by 6:30. and apparently i thought the 5:30 was the earliest but i guess i didn't find out until now it's no strike. >> and that man is similar to a lot of commuters. he was sort of frustrated, a bit annoyed with all of the uncertainty that exists and having to wake up in the morning and trying to figure out whether there will be a strike the next day and try and make those contingency plans. once he found out that the trains were running today he told me he was heading over to the nearest b.a.r.t. station to take the train into the city. live this morning in oakland, alex savidge ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you alex, and we did hear from some people who are lucky and get welcome to from home. if you need -- get to work from home. go to our web site ktvu.com, you'll find information on buses, ferries, car pools right there on our front page page. a. c. tran itself transit workers have issued a strike notice. all buses could grind to a halt leaving 181,000 daily passengers stuck. members of a. t. u local 192 have rejected two offers from management. the latest offer includes raises but medical costs could rise as much as $280 a month. >> absolutely disaster. told disaster. i live in alameda. i'm a paraplegic. getting around from alameda to anywhere from then on is going to be difficult. >> we're well aware of their needs. we are understand that most of our passengers are transient dependent. >> a. c. transit could release a statement today. they're hoping to hear back from management to avoid a strike. a. c. transit issued a 72 hour strike notice in july in talks that went down to the final minute. workers decided back then not to go on strike. happening now east bay -- katie utehs just arrived there on the scene to see what it's like out there. >> reporter: the water has burst through the roadway in a couple spots. you can see little geyser like spouts of water coming out. it's trickling along the side of the road. this is 7 hills road and the water is flowing downhill towards lake shaboe road. the call came in before 5 this morning that the water line had broken, so east bay mud is on the way. the sheriff's deputy who is blocking the street tells me east bay mud is expected within the next half hour or so, but it's unclear how long the water has been flowing. it was reported around 5 this morning. the concern here, it doesn't look like a lot of water on top of the road. it can be washing away dirt from under the road which could create sink holes. the good news however is that no homes are flooded at this point. the water is flowing down the roadway and into a storm drain. when east bay mud arrived, it's likely they'll shut off the water main in order to repair it. it's unclear allow that might affect some people's morning routines. some folks may be waking up without water. for now live in castro valley katie utehs ktvu channel 2 news. coming up is big brother coming to fremont. more on the police department's plan to watch the public from above with surveillance cameras. >> one of the most traditional retailers is breaking its 155 year history to kick off the holiday shopping season. >> and good morning. we have an injury accident in san jose. san jose fire department just tweeted this photo of a crash at center road at story road, and here's a picture that they tweeted. one person was taken to the hospital after the vehicle crash. we'll tell you more about this coming up. >> it's already 59 degrees at the half-moon bay area, 56 in san fransisco, which tells you temperatures will be warming up. we'll see how long this pattern lasts coming up shortly. when our little girl was born, we got a subaru. it's where she said her first word.

seriously injured and taken away. this is at the corner of center and tully. just want to show you the location once again here. pretty busy interchange. right now they're clearing that crash. at 6:13 let's go back to the desk. also new this morning, several small earthquakes hit the berkeley area. the u.s. geological survey records it as a magnitude 3.2 at 1:07 this morning. that was centered between berkeley and orinda. several people called into our newsroom to report feeling the quake. people from daly city and pleasanton said they felt it as well. next came two small after shocks followed by two more, a 2.7 and a 2.6. no damage is reported. a major earthquake killed 93 people in the philippines. this is the after math in sabu. people had to run into open spaces and many people are now staying in the streets worried that it's unsafe to go inside. the earthquake happened during a national holiday in the philippines, did not cause a tsunami. it's being reported that national security agency has collected millions of contact lists from personal e-mail and instant messaging accounts around the world including those of americans. that's according to the washington post which says it learned about the effort from secret documents provided by former nsa contractor edward snowden. they intercept hundreds of thousands of e-mail address books every day from private accounts on yahoo, gmail, facebook and hot mail. it's part of the effort to find links to terrorism. now to our continuing coverage of the government shutdown. the senate says it's close to finalizing a deal that would reopen the government and includes the country's borrowing limit. but there's a chance it won't pass before thursday's debt ceiling deadline. ktvu's kyla campbell is in our washington d. c. newsroom following all of this explaining what it means for you and your money. >> reporter: pam, the senate hopes to vote on this plan by tomorrow, and if the house does not get to it by thursday analysts believe that a deal on paper should be enough to keep the stock market from tumbling and your investments from suffering. a lot does need to happen in the next 48 hours. >> we've made tremendous progress. we are not there yet, but tremendous progress, and everyone just needs to be patient. >> the senate needs to finalize its deal today. the blueprint includes funding the government through mid- january and raising the debt ceiling into early february. that will buy more time to negotiate a long-term spending plan. both the house and senate sessions get underway in about 45 minutes, and the big question becomes today, will the house pass the senate plan. will they even vote on it. i'm working on that story for you for 7:15. live in washington, kyla campbell ktvu channel 2 news. we've been telling you about workers at lawrence livermore national laboratory. they've been affected. they've been told to come in this morning, but to begin shutdown operations. a spokeswoman says a shut down would be measly complete by the end of the day tomorrow and by monday there would be safety and security personnel remaining at the facility. more than 6,000 people work at the lab. time now is 6:17. there's been another computer glitch that could give travelers on united airlines a real deal. a problem with the airlines online reservation system allowed fliers to buy tickets with frequent flier miles they didn't have. there are reports trips between new jersey and ireland could be reserved for just $50 which covers the taxes and fees. united honored tickets bought when a similar problem happened last month. it says it won't do that this time. >> how come i never log on when those are going on. >> i was thinking the same thing. i want a $5 trip or $50 trip or something like that. 6:17 is the time. sal, how is traffic? we have all this uncertainty when we go to bed so. >> yeah, we do. people are waking up pam and brian not knowing what is going on with the b.a.r.t. trains and we've been saying it all morning. it bears repeating that b.a.r.t. trains are running this morning. we'll get to more of the roads that are affected by that. i also wanted to mention we've been talking about this injury crash in san jose at the corner of story and center road, which is a busy intersection here. this is an injury crash where the fire department had to deal with a solo vehicle crash that apparently ran into something. i want to show you a picture of what they tweeted out just a minute ago or just a few minutes ago as the remainder of this car after the crash, one person was taken to the hospital and we're trying to find out what their condition is. it seems pretty serious. at 6:18 let's go to live pictures right now. we've been talking about how the trains are running. the roads are not all that bad, although some people may be driving because many went to bed without knowing what they were going to do. they may have arranged car pools. bay bridge is backed up for about a moderate delay. car pool lanes are doing well. thank you very much. pam and i are talking christmas shopping. but anyway. we have clear skies out there and temperatures by the coast, i think they're going to be just as warm as some inland. 77 in santa fe yesterday. we'll go 80 today. oakland downtown 79. today 81. livermore from 8081 and redocked city up 2. everyone's going -- redwood city up 2. everyone's going to be really close. today's high will be 78.6. i tend to believe him. i wouldn't be surprised if there was an 80 in the city. elevated fire danger because just a little component of a northeast. there's not a strong -- there's no warnings or anything like that but we get a north, northeast breeze. things are very dry as you know. but let's hope wind speeds stay below 20, 25. half-moon bay airport is 59 right now. we're seeing 30s up to the north. there's a lot of weather east of us. the tropical moisture continues to stream over texas. a lot of that heading into the deep south and the ohio valley. 38 santa rosa, 38 napa. 55 half-moon bay, 56 san fransisco, oakland's 49. 42 walnut creek, 49 concord and upper 40s for livermore. low 50s around san jose. clear skies, everything looks good for sunshine. maybe a little breezy but this will be more towards the hill or some of the highest elevations and an offshore component means it's fabulous beach weather. 85 in santa cruz today. warmer into wednesday and i think we keep it there for a while. sunny for everybody today. cold lows inland, not so much on the coast and it will be warmer afternoon highs. take your pick. i mean anyone pretty close, a couple degrees. upper 70s to low and mid-60s for some -- low and mid-80s for some, but this is a pattern where it's warmer, oakley or pleasanton, it will be very close here, not much of a difference coast bay and inland. 85 santa cruz, warmer than morgan hill and gilroy low 80s, saratoga, cupertino at 82. probably if that offshore breeze holds it will be warmer than that in half-moon bay. it's going to be sunny and warm, san bruno and brisbane will be near 80 degrees. slight warmup on wednesday and we hold it there. i don't think much happens here, just sunshine and temperatures very mild to warm for this time of year. thank you steve. we're talking about christmas shopping because macy's is adding one day to it holiday shopping season. this year macy's will open at 8:00 thanksgiving night and stay open through black friday. the retailer says people want to go shopping after they get together with their

off. >> good morning, westbound 237, the traffic there is getting a little busier as you drive towards sunnyvale. >> clear skies out there, cold for some inland temps already, but it's already very

a mixed picture. looks like a lower opening right off the bat. we have some good earnings coming in. we talked about johnson and johnson, coca-cola beat earnings estimates but of course there's the

sacramento's at 48. everything says sunshine top to bottom from crescent city to the san diego, and it will be warm for all as well. cold lows inland but warmer afternoon high temps and i think we'll see a lot of low 80s from oakland to inland areas, everyone around 78 to 83 degrees. here's sal. good morning. right now we're looking at traffic that is busy as it would be on a normal day. we are not seeing more than the usual traffic as we thought we would. certainly if there was a b.a.r.t. strike, this area would be filled in. in case you're just joining us, the trains are running. we have more about what's going on with that coming up, but i will tell you that the trains are running. there are no major problems by the way, on the san mateo or the dunbar dunbarton bridge. it's looking pretty good on 80 westbound as i mentioned it's not as busy as it would be if the training were not running. we're looking at walnut creek, southbound 680 north of north main. no injuries reported there. 580 has been slow this morning coming off the altamonte pass. 6:32 let's go back to the desk. thank you. we're continuing to follow the breaking news on the b.a.r.t. labour dispute. if you are just waking up this morning, bart trains are running today even though no deal has been reached. we have live team coverage. tara moriarty is at the caltrans headquarters in oakland where we received an update about an hour ago. >> reporter: both sides have gone to bed after a marathon bargaining session last night. around 5:30 this morning they started trickling out and at 1:00 this afternoon they're going to be resuming talks. we did notice the union leader step out 45 minutes ago. she's usually talkative but there was no comment nor for us. she seemed cherry cheery after being up all night. >> at the mediator's request we'll be taking a recess until early this afternoon. and that's all i'm going to have to say at this moment. negotiations are continuing and we will be back at it early this afternoon. >> at 10:00 last night, the unions presented their counter offer. that was in response to b.a.r.t.'s sunday offer that it said was its best and final. now we've heard from insiders that although the two parties are close to reaching an agreement, they are still locking heads on the key issue which is pay. at this stage, still no contract, but the good news is no strike for today. they're going to be sitting back down again at the table at 1:00 this afternoon. hopefully they can come to an agreement. otherwise we could be dealing with the same situation being on pins and needles come midnight tonight. live from oakland, i'm tara moriarty ktvu channel 2 news. there's no strike for now. we may see more commuters exploring alternate options. alex savidge is live at the oakland ferry terminal with their story. i'm sure a lot of them are stressed out alex. >> reporter: they are certainly frustrated with the uncertainty of the situation. a lot of people probably made backup plans, made a plan to take the ferry today just in case there was a strike, and you have to imagine that some of those commuters may stick with those plans even though the trains are running this morning. the first ferry of the morning just left from the oakland terminal a half hour ago. a handful of people were on board as that boat headed off to san fransisco. we will have to see if the ferries become more crowded than usual as we move throughout the morning. during the last b.a.r.t. strike in july, the ferry was certainly a popular option with commuters who lined up early here at the oakland terminal and other terminals in the east bay. we know because of the fact that there will be no b.a.r.t. strike today, terries -- ferries are operating on a normal schedule. if a strike does happen in the near future you want to type in mind -- keep in mind more ferries would be put in service and the ferries would also run more often, about every 45 minutes in that case. earlier this morning we talked with one regular b.a.r.t. rider who showed up early to catch the ferry and he thought b.a.r.t. was on strike. >> i went to sleep at 11 p.m. knowing that there was a strike because it was pretty much set by my supervisor that there's going to be a strike. and here i am, early for no reason. >> >> reporter: now wince that man showed -- once that man showed up at the ferry terminal and found out b.a.r.t. was not on strike, he told us he was going to head to the b.a.r.t. station and take the train into the city. he's one of many commuters that are growing frustrated with the uncertainty of the situation, having to wake up every morning and figure out if the trains will be running that day. live in oakland, alex savidge ktvu channel 2 news. ac transit workers have issued a 72-hour strike notice and could walk off the job thursday morning. all 700 buses in the ac transit system could grind to a halt leaving 181,000 daily passengers stuck. members of their union rejected two offers from ac transit management. the latest offer includes just about a 3% raise over the next three years. the unions say the medical costs could also rise as much as $280 a month. >> absolutely disaster. total disaster. i live in alameda. i'm a paraplegic so getting around from alameda to anywhere from then on is going to be difficult. >> we're well aware of their needs. we understand that most of our passengers are transient dependent. >> ac transit could release a statement today. union leaders are hoping to hear back from management to avoid a strike. it issued a 72-hour strike notice in july and talks went down to the final minute. workers decided to not go on strike then. happening now, crews in castro valley are trying to figure out what caused a water main to burst. ktvu channel 2 reporter katie utehs is live at the scene. we understand east bay mud has just arrived? >> reporter: they arrived about 20 minutes ago, but they're still working to shut off this water main. you can see behind me it's leaking down 7 hills road. it is causing some flooding in the roadway. now the good news it's not flooding any houses at this point. now the crews have created diversion dams with sandbags to try to keep the water away from people's lawn and draining into a storm drain down the road. it's flowing towards shabot lake road. the water has been leaking more than an hour. it was reported around 5:00, so that's when it was reported. it could have been flowing long before then, and the concern with water flows like this, it doesn't look like a lot from aboveground, but below the asphalt it could really be causing damage as it washes out some of the soil. one of the neighbors who lives in this area approached me and he said that he noticed some low water pressure this morning as he turned on his coffee pot. it hasn't been a major inconvenience for people at this point, but east bay mud is working to shut off the water, and they tell me that some people will be affected with that water shutoff as they get up and start their morning routine. however, they're not sure how many homes will have their water shut off at this point. live in castro valley, katie utehs ktvu channel 2 news. the city of fremont may install surveillance cameras to curb crime. argus reports police are asking the city council to put up cameras in low to moderate income areas. they say their request comes after complaints about a rise in home burglaries. the cameras would be placed on fremont street lights and public buildings. vallejo and oakland have similar camera surveillance. no word on when the cameras would go up. a triple shooting in san fransisco, one of the victims just a boy apparently. what a witness reported seeing right after shots were fired. >> commuters are waking up tired this morning. they are losing sleep trying to find out if and when there will be a b.a.r.t. strike. they're sounding off this morning. >> good morning right now we are looking at the freeways and there is some crowded conditions out there. we'll tell you more about the morning commute. >> skies are clear. it's cold for some, already very mild for others, but everybody's going to be in on sunshine and warmer temps today. how much warmer, we'll have those forecasted highs very soon. welcome back. the breaking news we have been following, the b.a.r.t. labor dispute. b.a.r.t. trains are running but no deal has been reached. an hour ago the federal mediator gave us an update. came out of those negotiations that have been going on all night. they said they would continue negotiations at 1:00 this afternoon. now late last night both sides agreed to continue negotiating past that midnight deadline. many b.a.r.t. riders went to bed last night thinking there could be a strike today. they say they're tired of the day-to-day suspense. janine de la vega out talking with commuters at the fremont b.a.r.t. station this morning. how are they handling it janine. >> reporter: pam, as the commute has picked up we're hearing an earful from b.a.r.t. riders. many of them think it's ridiculous that talks have gone on this long. they've woken up early, checked the news, checked twitter to see if there was a strike or not, and it's causing them a lot of stress. >> it's very stressful because we don't know up until midnight that
