it a fair bit. >> but for the group mothers out front, silicon valley, the issue is bigger than just that. they're worried about forever. chemicals leaching from the turf. so it's very irresponsible to allow children to play on surfaces that are toxic, that have been connected to cancer already, the santa clara county medical association wrote a letter supporting the ban, and supervisor otto lee believes the study will find turf is a hazard. >> that truly is the case. then if a ban is necessary, then we need to put that in place to protect our kids and players on on these fields. >> but for some involved in youth sports, the issue is more complicated. >> if we go to the extremes that are being discussed of removing every artificial turf field around, we need probably 3 to 4 times as many grass fields in order to have the same level of access. >> sandra todd has been a youth sports organizer for 20 years. she says turf fields can handle more kids more often under harsher conditions. >> now, do i think that every field should be artificial turf?

absolutely not. but i do think we need some of those available. >> the study may put some new fields in jeopardy. a massive project at the santa clara county fairgrounds would have an earth quakes practice facility and turf youth soccer fields. some supervisors questioned whether they could be grandfathered in. mothers out front thinks the answer should be no. >> there should be no grandfathering. if it's not safe to play on, it's not safe to play on. >> the study is supposed to be completed sometime in may, and the county supervisors could vote as early as june in santa clara county and ruben ktvu, fox two news. >> all right. checking in on the weather. we've got a nice one. you knew that. you don't need me to tell you that. we had a heck of a day today. tomorrow is going to be heck of a day tomorrow. and this weekend is going to be a heck of a weekend as well. the changes will come probably middle of next week when we have an opportunity for some for some kind of disruption of the pacific high, which is

this guy right here. and that's the dominant weather feature of the west coast in the summer months. that's why we're a mediterranean climate, which is dry summer, wet winter. that's that's how it goes. and you get temperatures like these when you get big high pressure and you also get coastal fog. but tides today were nice. 80 and san rafael, 81, in morgan hills, 81 in san jose was 83. in san carlos, live picture just because we can beautiful out there. i kind of like this shot just because this time of year. right? thinking about fog, watching the container ship. i think that's a container ship coming in tide. i shouldn't know what the tide is doing, i really don't. it must be going out. or sometimes they'll come, they'll let. they'll catch it on slack to go out. but either way, it's going to be beautiful day today or tomorrow. and that's going to continue right through the weekend. the caveat will be some clouds a little bit. few clouds today. tomorrow we'll see more clouds. friday we'll see more clouds. but high thin cirrus clouds. not storm clouds, but clouds that will filter out sunshine and drop temperatures down a little bit. highs right now or temperatures right now

are warmer than they were yesterday by a solid five and six degrees overnight lows. because the cloud cover is going are going to be in the upper 40s. and the cold spots and then 50s elsewhere. so there's those clouds tomorrow morning and then clouds tomorrow afternoon. that's thursday, friday morning, friday afternoon. and now you're seeing fog along the coast. so that coastal fog, as long as this high sets up, even if you didn't have a lot of fog this morning, each day, as long as this pattern stays stable, that fog bank is going to start to ratchet up a little bit. and you see that in the model. you see more fog again saturday morning and then into saturday afternoon. more fog. there and then this is that system. we'll see how that works out. but this could be something for sure. we'll see. the model is just that's a kind of a new solution. just came up today. here are the right now temperatures from today. the highs if you will are the forecast highs. pardon me. they look like today's don't they. tomorrow's highs will be like this which are very similar or will be very similar to today's. and then there's the five day forecast with the cloud

cover. you'll see those temperatures nudge down a little on friday and saturday. and then they kind of nudge back up as we go into the weekend. >> all right bill thank you. coming up next in sports steph curry receives a very special gift. jason appelbaum will have the story about a j rney to norman, bad news... i never graduated from med school. what? but the good news is... xfinity mobile just got even better! now, you can automatically connect to wifi speeds up to a gig on the go. plus, buy one unlimited line and get one free for a year.
