going northbound is available. but again, it's still causing a lot of congestion. and we can see that. all right. along here, we actually have a live look at it right now. we're going to put it up on the screen. we have a photographer out there. you can see those lanes are closed to sig alert has been happening since about 3 o'clock this morning. looks like they've got 2 lanes that are currently open. but again, i did speak with chp this morning. they tell me it's going to take at least 3 to 4, maybe even 5 hours to clean up this mess. keep in mind, there is fuel that is out on those roads and that big rig is completely tipped over south. just keep that in mind as you're heading out, we're going go back to our traffic maps now. so you can see what other alternative routes you could take. of course, you could always take 5.80, we're going to put that back up on the screen. hopefully we can get it for you. there we are right now taking a look at 5.80, just to see where that backup could eventually spread to. you can see it's an 11 minute commute livermore to dublin. but eventually at some point, this may be backed up. so to avoid at all cost, you could just take 6.80, and very quickly, some drive times for

those of you who are heading over to the maze. 18 minutes crockett to may's 12 minutes. walnut creek to 5.80, castro valley to the mains. 14 minutes. stanley under to the maze a 12 minute commute. a live look at the bay bridge. those metering lights are already on right now. it's a 15 minute commute to get into the actual city. a live look at the san mateo bridge, 17 minute commute. and that could be because there was a disabled, tractor trailer that was on this bridge. it's already been cleared by chp. so hopefully that starts to move a little bit more smoothly up north a little bit. richmond center fell 10 minute commute over that bridge. and lastly, that golden gate bridge. 21 minute commute into the city will send it back to 2 at the desk. all right, michael, thank you for that. happening today, open international airport could at san francisco to its name. yeah. this afternoon, the port of oakland is set to vote on that controversial name change one that san francisco officials say they're ready to go to court over covers. will tran is live at the oakland airport for now. >> with the latest. good morning. well, >> the city of san francisco hates the name change. they

believe. >> that the words san francisco belongs to them and more specifically to sfo and they are prepared. >> next destination will be in the courtroom because it looks like it's pretty much a done deal as the port of oakland, their executives, they will decide later today to possibly change the name. this morning. you're waking up and is still officially metropolitan oakland international airport with they want to do and they claim a lot of people in oakland are very comfortable with the name change to go from oakland international to san francisco bay, oakland, international. and they claim the reason why about one-third of domestic travelers are confused whether or not oakland is san francisco, the bay area all together in about a half. the international travelers. they have no idea. we're open international is and they believe bite giving the words san francisco in front of it. and that will clear up the confusion. san

francisco international they make about 6 billion dollars a year with people coming and going and the commerce that it generates. they don't like the idea. san francisco international actually sits in san mateo county in the county altogether. the board of supervisors they don't like this. they're not the only ones. i spoke to some travelers this morning. here's their reaction to the possible name change. i think it's crazy. i mean, it's in the airport is in oakland, y lose your identity being oakland airport. >> i mean, you're losing losing all your franchise. worst team. i mean, oakland just seems like they can't. they're not able to keep what they have. >> and james, as they often say, the answer is always the money. oakland international, the port, a port of oakland. they claim that if they clear up the confusion, possibly more flights will come into oakland and that means it can generate 10's of hundreds of

millions of dollars every year because the airlines will see the uptick in passengers and possibly add flights routinely. so the bottom line is right now, we do have 2 distinct games, sfo, and even if with the name change, just to add to the confusion, it still will remain. kate, even if it goes to san francisco bay, open international. >> have the airport code stays the same. alright, we'll thank you very much. we'll see what happens with that vote. well, an arrest was made in connection to a crash that killed a 9 year-old girl from oregon. >> chp says jesus ivan durantez is in custody and facing multiple charges. crash happened sunday morning on northbound 6.80, in concord. chp says suv carrying a 6 people, joe, to a dirt median rolled over multiple times. the 9 year-old died at the scene and her mother, 13 year-old sister, 2.17, year-old cousins are still being treated at the hospital.

north, the dives in this weekend displacing that high and allowing some much colder air to work its way. very quickly. our direction and these changes are really easy to spot here in future cast today. plenty of sunshine and warm tomorrow deep in marine layer. a lot of cloud cover starting to cool down. but staying dry for your friday. that is until around 10:00pm tomorrow night when showers will begin to arrive to the bay area friday night into saturday morning. most of our heavy rainfall. luckily for us arrives while we're sleeping friday night. and during your predawn hours of saturday, this is also going to be strongest of winds. notice that as that cold air pushes in snow level falls and we've got another dose of snow on some of our bay area. mountaintops as you're waking up on saturday morning, we'll get a brief lull in shower activity towards the time you're waking up, which is nice for getting outside, taking the dog out there. getting your morning jog in before resurgence of moisture on into the middle of the day saturday and a chance of afternoon thunderstorms saturday afternoon. so get the

everyone. and happy thursday. we are dealing with some delays this morning, especially over in the east bay. there is the sig alert. there's been a semi that's overturned and you can see it's causing some major delays. it's at the connector of to 38 and 8.80, on those southbound lanes. it's closed down completely. northbound lanes are still open. but you can see a lot of that congestion. and we actually have a live look right now on the scene. now, officials tell me it's going to take at least anywhere 4 to 5 hours or so. and they told me that about 2 hours ago. so keep in mind, probably most of the morning. you can see it flipped over there on its side. they're currently trying to clean up all the fluids from that actual a semi truck so that entire connector in that area closed off completely. your best bet would be to get off on mission. take that all the way down. then get back on 2.88 e we've got graphics on the screen now showing you with the commute. looks like up to this area and you can see it's already causing a small bit of congestion here, but nothing too major. and you're also going to see congestion is on the southbound lanes of 8.80, because people are trying to get around it essentially

we've got another traffic collision over in richmond area. it's just east of castro street and the left laoe is currently closed. and you can see that delay there before you get on to the bridge than a live look at the richmond. sandra fell bridge. you can see it's an 11 minute commute not to flowing the way it normally is such a small minor delays. taking a look at some drive times for those of you who may be heading towards the bay bridge this morning, crockett to the maze. 21 commute walnut creek to 5.80, a 12 minute commute. castro valley to the maze, 14 minute commute, stanley and or to the maze a 12 minute commute as well. taking a live look at that bay bridge. you can see it's a 60 minute commute from the maze into the city. and those metering lights are on this morning. so those cars are stop and go traffic taking a look down in the south bay this morning, 12 minute commute from san jose to cupertino. not too bad. and lastly, we'll take a look at 101. san jose to menlo park. 35 minute commute. which is good for this hour. rain and james. we'll send it back to you. all right. thank you for

benefit from having a 2 person race for 3 person race. it's much easier. it weighs money. it's much easier draw contrasts. >> the name on the recount petition is a former staffer for sam liccardo name jonathan padilla. but look, camp is not confirming that only saying the final count needs to be accurate. meantime, a very angry reaction from evan los campaign. the statement from his spokesperson, this is a page right out of trump's political playbook using dirty tricks to attack democracy and subvert the will of voters. sam liccardo, who does not live in this district did not file a recount himself. instead, he had his former staffer do it for him. what's he afraid of? think antidemocratic at all. >> to ask for ask for a recount in and in a lot of races and there are mandatory recounts like a presidential. and then when there's no one squat about anti democratic.

>> also weighing in south bay, congressman roe conn who said in a post on x, a candidate wanting to overturn the will of the voters is undemocratic. sam liccardo supporters should not push for a recount asking to overturn election results in district 16 when all other candidates have accepted them. it's a crash political ploy and it's why i'm with evan low. >> it's a tie. vote. >> yockey says if somebody is willing to pay for a recount. well, clearly that's allowed by law. and he says there's a huge if in all this will somebody come up with the money and there have been instances already. >> in california history where people requested the recount. but i'm to come up with the meantime, in this flurry of excited reactions. yaki thanks a supervisor. some idiot is probably playing the smart by not really saying much of anything right now. >> jackie says that makes him appear to be more statesman like.
