what do you think there? so we have your oakland a's forecast. it's a very big game. game 3 of play-off series, they leave o.co come stadium and playing in detroit. i got to tell you, folks, some dicey weather around, cloudy skies. there will be some passing showers before the game and during the later portion of the game. they should be able to get baseball in with the game time temperature of 60 degrees. go a's. official sun-up this morning is at 7:10. good morning, everybody. >> heading out the door, you need a sweater or jacket. 45 degrees in santa rosa. 61 degrees in san francisco. you can see a few mid- to high- level clouds streaming across. futurecast clearly illustrates these clouds are associated with a trough upstream. these clouds will continue to move from the north to the south. they are the leading edge of a trough that's to the north of the bay area. that will bring us additional cooling by midweek today. down from 83 degrees in san francisco to 68 degrees.

you will feel the difference. mid-70s across the bay in oakland, alameda and berkeley. 70s common across the peninsula to a 77 in san jose down from 83 degrees, down from 88 to the low 80s throughout the tri- valley. here's your extended forecast. that trough will encourage the return of the onshore push on tuesday resulting in overcast skies at the coast. otherwise, the coolest day of the workweek will be on wednesday with sunny skies and seasonal highs through sunday. that's the pinpoint forecast. frank and michelle? >> all right. roberta, thank you. the bay area in for a rough week with a government shutdown in effect. and two transit unions now prepping to strike. "san francisco examiner" columnist melissa griffin-caen joins us to talk about the impending bart strike. a big week. >> reporter: it is going to be something. >> let me ask you, can governor brown just vote for another or just put another cooling-off period in place or no? >> reporter: a lot of people want that. >> right. >> reporter: there was a poll today that said 60-something

percent want another cooling- off period but you only get one legally enforceable period of time in which they can't strike. the governor can ask really nicely but he can't enforce another cooling-off period. you only get that once so he has already spent that one. it's going to be over soon. >> and let me ask you this. what happens -- can the workers -- can they get new workers in there to drive the vehicles? >> reporter: according to the comment sections everyone people want to be fired and replaced. just push a button, no big deal? bart transit operators are certified by the state. you can't just go round up some folks and train them in a day and put them to work. some managers or former operators are recertifying to get back to speed so they can maybe form a skeleton crew to replace in a couple of trains if things were to get crazy but the strike would have to go on for a little while for that to

be an option. and termination is not an option. governor brown is never going to authorize termination of hundreds of bart workers and even if he did, he would have to prove that a bart strike was imperiling civil order. that's a high hurdle. not something that's realistic under the circumstances today. >> if he wants to run for re- election, not a good idea. >> reporter: these folks give a lot of money to sacramento and their pet causes. >> can they jump in and pass a law about transit agencies going on strike. >> reporter: yes. they could they certainly could and actually senator bob hough has introduced legislation to do that and he said it has been met with deafening silence because these folks pay money to folks in sacramento and have a lot of influence especially around something that's only impacting the bay area. there's one democrat that i'm aware of who is actually standing up against this. his name is steve glazer a city councilman run in district 16. you may see his volunteers this

morning trying to get folks to sign a petition so that public transit strikers would not be able to go on strike anymore in the state of california. so i spoke with him the other day. he had a couple of things to say about the situation. >> even in san francisco, you cannot have a transit strike. but in california, there is no law and therefore, they have the ultimate punishment to thank you the riders if they can't find agreement. >> reporter: so as you can see, he is out there getting a lot of great reception. he told me the other day. and he is the only democrat so far who is able to -- standing up and facing down the strikers. >> five seconds, strike or no strike? >> reporter: strike, small strike. i'm calling like one or two days. >> a mini strike. >> we'll see. thank you, melissa. find more on her on kpix.com/mornings. time for a look at what's coming up later on "cbs this morning." >> charlie rose joins us now from new york. good morning. >> hey, good morning, frank and

michelle. ahead, navy seals conduct two daring raids on overseas terror targets. fbi insider john miller tells us what the united states can learn from the terrorist captured in libya and how things got messy fast in somalia. plus, captain sully sullenberger on the big flaw he sees in new rules about rest for pilots. and last night "60 minutes" reported on the danger of unseen asteroids. this morning why we can only track 1% of objects capable of hitting the earth. the news is back in the morning. see you at 7:00. >> thank you, charlie. we'll see you at 7:00. time now 6:51. you might notice some of your coworkers calling in sick today. the a's get ready for game 3 in detroit. they will be watching the game at 10:00 coming your way. >> reporter: we are getting down to the wire. bart and its unions just have four days to reach an agreement. we'll have an update on the negotiations. ,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,
