to go to court? james arena because san francisco officials believe that know the name san francisco. >> belongs to them. more specifically. it belongs to sfo and they believe if they change the name here, if you're waking up this morning, it is still called metropolitan oakland international airport. but after today, and maybe the days could change san francisco bay, oakland international airport. the reason according to a port of oakland officials, they believe that so many people are confused, not knowing that oakland is part of the bay area. they want to clear up the confusion, but they don't want to put the word oakland before san francisco. instead, they say they sit literally on san francisco bay and that's why they want to change it to san francisco bay, oakland international airport. to clear up the confusion claiming that one-third of domestic travelers, they don't

know clean is. as far as the location to the bay area and one half of international travelers don't the reason behind all of this money, they believe if it clears up the confusion, then possibly more flights will come into oakland international or by then it will be called san francisco bay, oakland, that would generate 10's if not hundreds of millions of dollars every year. i got a chance to talk to some travelers this morning. they don't like this idea. like white. because i think thing the confusion, but well, i have said consistently francisco does so much of you know. >> and i don't understand why oakland has to say san francisco it will say, oh, can but san francisco. >> will be the first words yet to oakland interim. i don't want to get a according to put

>> and we are back 7.45. is the time with breaking news this morning. word now confirmed from the family that oj simpson >> has passed. yeah, exactly. this is a tweet that we're showing you on your screen right now which reads on april 10th, our father or in james. simpson succumb to his battle with cancer. he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren during this time of transition is family. ask that you please respect their wishes for privacy in grace. the simpson family this morning, this is just coming down. you might know oj simpson is full name as henri paul. james simpson was a former professional american football player. was actually born here in san francisco. back in 1947. and we know that part of his >> legacy involves the famous trial back in the 90's for the double murder of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. he was eventually acquitted in that case, but never really fully came out from under the shadow

of that experience. we know that he had been struggling lately with health. the elements diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months ago and had spent, i guess, the last month or so in hospice care. and according to family and friends, his health had been steadily declining. all right. you know, the trial known as the trial of the century. >> it lasted nearly 9 months. and it was actually one of the most watched events in television history. so again, all of his information coming in this morning. j. dead at the age of 76 from cancer. so we're going to be following this story throughout the morning. but so far, that is what we we know you 7.46. is the time will bring back here into the studio. we have breaking news to get to as well on the traffic front where east bay commuters now dealing with a big problem. michael's been keeping us updated, michael, not a pretty scene out there. good morning. >> yeah, good morning, everyone. not a pretty scene at all. it's over near san lorenzo and you can see right here. it's not the connector of to 38 northbound and 8.80, southbound. it's close down completely. you see that red purple causing major delays.

our photographer is actually there on the scene. we're going to pull it up what it looks like. so what happened early this morning essentially is that there was a big rig that turned over. and if you look closely on the right hand side of the screen, you can actually see those tires up in the year. chp says this is probably going to be possibly an all-day thing. they're trying to clean up the flu. it's coming out of that actual big rig. so as to when it will be completely open, we're on shore. but right now, your best bet would be to get off on mission before this area where you're seeing this live picture, take mission all the way down. then get back on 2.88 eb. can see that congestion. and also in addition to that, right before you get to that congestion, there's another accident causing more delays. and this is right near strowbridge avenue in castro valley lanes are currently blocked and chp says they're working to get that out of the way as well. so keep in mind, if you're heading from the inland area over to 8.80, you're going to see those major delays right now. you see that yellow and orange. so it's starting to build up significantly. your best bet may be to take 6.80,

either north or south to get around it completely, but also over towards richmond area. we're dealing with another traffic collision. this is westbound 5.80, before you get onto that bridge east of castro street, the left lanes are currently all affected. once you get past that you actually will have a decent commute on the richmond. sandra fell bridge right now, 13 minute commute. but leading up to that, you're going to see some major delays, some traffic drive times for those who are heading out this morning towards the maze crockett to the maze. 33 minute commute. 14 minute commute. walnut creek to 5.80, castro valley to the mays. 17 minute commute, stanley and or to the mains 16 minute commute. keep in mind that castro valley commute could be a little bit longer because of those multiple delays. once you get to the bay bridge from the maze into the city is only a 16 minute commute, which is great news. taking a look over in the south bay san jose to menlo park. 52 minute commute. you can see 101 is for the most part clear. but some small congestion areas overall. lastly, san jose to

cupertino. it's a 20 minute commute that small congestion. there is what we see every morning. so i will send it back to you to actually we will send it over to the weather department. john, thanks so much, michael. and looking at some clear skies in san jose, even though it's a little backed up there. >> on some of our highways, you're backed up under the sunshine this morning. this is what you're seeing right here. near camera view downtown san jose. now we are about to see temperatures falling. san jose. you will be a 82 today. antioch also getting up to 82. but by saturday, cooling into the mid 50's. if you liked yesterday's warmth and one another day of it, today is the time to catch it. because tomorrow it's already cooling down. and by saturday, we're back to full force winter again, dry skies aside from a little fog at the coastline, it's nothing but sunshine. high pressure. ridge is in place for the moment, but soon to be displaced by this low dropping in from the northwest, bringing with it a huge cool down. we time it out for you hour by hour and future cast today bringing all the sunshine and warmth

tomorrow deep in the marine layer that is going to come along with low clouds and high clouds, too. just a little cooler and a little grayer. we'll stay dry until evening hours tomorrow. really rainfall kicking off after 10:00pm. heaviest of rain towards midnight and into the early morning hours, friday night into saturday morning saturday morning itself bringing some upper elevation snowfall to the mountains above san jose mount diablo yet again. also going to be seeing a little bit of flurry activity. by the time you're waking up saturday morning. we do catch a little break. a good chance to get outside with the dog for a minute before resurgence of rainfall late morning into early afternoon. even a chance of thunderstorm development towards the latter half of the day on saturday. saturday is absolutely the most active and cool day of the forecast. so the one to plant indoor activities anywhere between a half to an inch of rainfall expected pretty much saturday alone. now, daytime highs today are going to be pleasant and san francisco little cool at the coastline with some low 60's and then warm elsewhere. a lot of 70's to even low 80's for your daytime highs.

redwood city, 76 san jose getting up to 72 or rather 82. so used to saying 70's these 80's are something that we were not familiar with. but after yesterday's practice, if you like the feel of them, i do sure hope you get a chance to enjoy them again today. tomorrow, no more 80's and no more 70's either. it's down to the 60's right off the bat for your friday and only in the 50's was showers come saturday. back to all right, john, thank you that. kron. 4 is your local election headquarters and to request for a recount have been made all in the race to replace congresswoman anna eshoo. yes. so as we know, it stands right now. we've got veilleux and show some indian tied for second place for they're going to join sam liccardo on the november ballot. >> kron four's catherine heenan takes a closer look now at what this recount could mean. >> it seemed both have been low and joe summit, ian, we're willing to accept the recent surprising news about two-way tie. their teams not talking about an expensive recount.

former san jose mayor sam liccardo is already safely in first place. now santa clara county officials tell me they are being asked to do a manual recount, something that could begin as soon as monday. the approximate cost $32,000 a day lasting, maybe 10 days. so. >> who's asking for there's an allegation that one of the people requesting the recount associated with some are calling a coup actually would benefit from having a 2 person race for 3 person race. it's much easier. i do raise 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 no one is knowing squats 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 and 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. stay on 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. >> come out of the rubble morning news jonesy skipping college to make more money right now. other than later,
