Right now, on kpix 5 and streaming on cbsn bay area, we are looking live from our Treasure Island camera out at the city of San Francisco. Good morning, it is tuesday, september 15th. I am michelle griego. I am len keise. Glad to have you with us. Lets get to the forecast. Another smoky day with mary but we will see a little relief . That is right, just a little bit and this is the start of that improving air quality. It has been a slow start but for sure it isgoing to be e d o woek, especially compared to what we have been dealing with. We are starting off our day with smoky skies and unhealthy air quality and we have another spare the air alert for the bay area going a record 29 days in a row with that alert for the bay area and with that unhealthy air. I think it will get a little better in spots. Yesterday, some reporting some blue skies. We are going to continue with some improving air quality conditions as we go through the week. Still looking at below average temperatures for many spots. Low 70s this afternoon in oakland and mid70s in san jose and mid 80s for concord. We will talk about when we will see better air quality through the week, some of the best days for that are coming up. Good morning, we are starting off with delays as you work your way out of tracy into the allatoona pass. We have some bites popping up on our sensors. There are no accidents or incidents, so that is the good news. It is getting a little slow and go out of tracy towards that grant mine area. Elsewhere, it looks like those conditions are popping up along the Southern Area of the minutes freeway. Is likely due to roadwork. We are not seeing any brake lights. We will keep a close eye on that and so far, so good at the bay bridge. We are not seeing any conditions that will slow you down out of the east bay into the city. The Golden Gate Bridge is off to a good start, as is the san mateo bridge. It is clear between 880 and 101. Lets go live to st. Louis, missouri, where the wind is going in advance of hurricane sally, who is expected to make landfall deeper tonight or early tomorrow, we are looking at the florida coast right now. Things are looking fairly calm but those waves are really going to whip up as this hurricane makes landfall throughout the entire gulf coast. We are talking lifethreatening storm surge and flooding rainfall. Winds of more than 100 miles an hour are there. They are in alabama and texas and florida as well. As the storm approaches, a lot of concern about the damaging winds and the amount of precipitation that is gathering. Particularly southeast of louisiana and mississippi and alabama and the panhandle, flooding rain is a major threat and that is going to become a threat further inland across the southeast this week. We will keep an eye on all that as it gains speed right now. It is a few miles away. Back to you. New developments into the dangerous wildfires across the state. Cal fire is reporting fire crews lost containment on the fire that is burning out of control near la. New evacuation orders have been issued for 300 homes and the weather has been warm and dry and it is expected to be even worse today. The fire is only 3 contained at last check. North of sadler factual, they are dealing with all the debris. They say they found another thbrin thdeath toll to 15 and more than 260 acres have burned across different areas. They have already had been recordbreaking. The good news is it might be getting some much needed rest. Some crews on the walbridge fire west of healdsburg initially worked 60s hours straight before they saw a break. Santa rosa deputy fire chief says the goal now is to find better ways to rotate the crews and deal with covid budget shortfalls that limit Additional Resources for fire season. We are doing the best we can with what we have and we have pieces around and were trying to make sure that the community is protected the best way possible. The Santa Rosa Fire Department is able to send engines and air support to other fires in the state. Alameda county got worse overnight as the grass fire broke out in fremont along 680. It happened after 5 00 yesterday. Firefighters attacked the blaze from the air and ground. Flames did manage to scorch of five acres and forced the closure of mill creek road and mission boulevard. Translator they are looking at Sacramento County for a briefing on the wild fires are burning across our state. During his visit, President Donald Trump deflected questions about the effects of Climate Change and the frequency and severity on the wildfires. He instead highlighted the need for better Forest Management to clear dead trees out but Governor Newsom told President Donald Trump Climate Change is a driving factor that cannot be echoed by climate scieists. Sit to state, he says he ps is still not convinced. As recordsetting wildfires devastate western states, as america continues to get pounded by more frequent hurricanes, President Donald Trump continues his assault on Climate Science. It will start getting u watc. His team is facing criticism for reportedly pointing a Climate Science denier to a top position at americas preeminent weather and climate agency. David the gates has been tapped to be part of that it ministration known as noaa. This is a dangerous thing for noaa because it threatens the thousands of scientists who conduct and communicate Climate Science every day. They have a long record of accepting fossil fuel industry funds and spreading disinformation about Climate Science. According to the post, he was once forced out of a job as a climatologist because of his research paid for in part by the fossil fuel industry which cast doubt on the science zoning that fuels remain factors in Climate Change. At this house hearing, he openly disputed the belief of many climate scientists that Carbon Dioxide is mainly responsible for heating up the planet. That has little to do with them and warming conditions and increasing science. In 2007, lee gates helped author paper funded by the oil industry that question scientific findings in destroying polar bears habitats. He goes to an agency which was dropped groups say has a long time of credible work in providing the country with that kind of investigation. One Watchdog Group cites the trump administrations appointment of former fossil fuel industry lobbyist to head the epa and the department of the interior. They have wreaked havoc. We have seen altered communications on Climate Change and climate websites removed and we have seen climate scientist gabbed from announcing things from the public. He announced the u. S. Would withdraw from the paris climate agreement and he has dismantled regulations on Green House Gas and auto emissions. Noaa has once shown it could not withstand President Donald Trumps pressure when an they corrected his erroneous predictions for hurricane dorian, which he later displayed with a sharpie, threatening alabama. Noaa disavowed that correction. It is being weaponized and when you get into that point where people in the public cannot tell who is telling the truth, it undermines your democracy and undermines the kind of trust that you need to make for a democracy to work. Governor newsom will join Vice President ial nominee Kamala Harris today the meeting is for the creek fire, which has burned almost a quarter million acres. Tomorrow, a new round of businesses wile open in contrac decided its move was too strict for most of the bay area, finding the rules requires checking with local state and the county. Contra costa county Health Officials updated the county guidelines to match the state of effectively doing away with any local restrictions. We are at the point where the state system is pretty good and having clarity for businesses so they can look in one place to know what they are allowed to do and what guidance to follow. It is really helpful. Tomorrow, personal Care Services that involve close contact with people can open outdoors and tv and movie production can resume. They could move from the purple to the red category within a couple of weeks, allowing restaurant dining, and other indoor activities. The mayor of San Francisco announced a new program that wants to close the health gap among my moms by bringing them basic income. They will get 1000 a month. That is stress that can contribute to disparities like premature births, which are higher among black and other women. What we know is there is nothing wrong with the mothers but there is something wrong with society and how society is treating these mothers and these families, and so this is more of a medical intervention as opposed to addiction. The project is funded by grants and the Public Health department. They will be chosen over the next few years. Coming up, a bizarre discovery on the planet next door.

People are boarding up windows before fleeing their homes and aban rey declared a state of emergency. Forecasters predict winds of 110 miles an hour and up to 16 inches of rain and i know that you are monitoring the storm along with our weather in the bay area. Yes, keeping a close eye on hurricane sally. As well as the air quality conditions in the bay area. Here is hurricane sally. You can see the satellite and radar imagery of sally as it nears the golf coast. It is a slow moving start, so it will take a while before it makes landfall. Right now, it is a category one storm packing sustained winds of 85 miles an hour, and as it makes landfall, late tonight and early tomorrow morning, it will be a category one storm. We are watching that and also looking at the possibility of really flooding rain for the gulf coast. That is the biggest concern for that area. Lets talk about our weather at home. We are looking at the smoky skies and also the spare the air alert that continues for the bay area. The unhealthy to very unhealthy air and now we are looking at unhealthy air for sensitive groups and unhealthy air for everyone. We are going into the orange and red dots and even a yellow dot that is moderate air quality for santa rosa. It is a little better for parts of the north bay and unhealthy air for sensitive groups for San Francisco, napa, fairfield, concord, and rio vista. Unhealthy for san rafael, oakland, redwood city, san jose, and livermore. It is a bit of an improvement and we will continue that trend through the work week. Were looking at that spare the air alert that remains in effect for today due to our smoky skies and here is a look with our Golden Gate Bridge camera and we are looking at foggy conditions in spots along the coast and the bay and even in santa rosa, dealing with the fog in the mid50s. And also upper 50s for San Francisco and low 50s in concord and oakland for san jose. I want to show you the west Coast Wildfire smoke. Our smoke from wildfires for california oregon, and for Washington State is actually pushing across the country. Over the midwest and even into parts of the east coast, that is how far and extensive the smoke is reaching. Our low pressure system is off the coast and slowly moving closer. That is why we are increasing the ocean breeze through the work week and that means better air quality as we look to thursday and for friday. There will be beneficial rainfall through the Pacific Northwest and to the Northern California area. Eureka could see some rain until the end of the work week. And the future cast rainfall amounts, as we go through thursday and friday, there could be some drizzle. That is good news as we look until the end of the work week. Today is 77 in san jose, and below average temperatures in the mid80s for concord and Pleasant Hill, and midsixties in San Francisco and low 70s for oakland and the extended forecast is here but we are going to deal with that smoke, and a little better for the air quality for wednesday and thursday and friday. Those are the good days that we will watch for the better air. Lets check in with gianna for look at traffic. As you look at the roadways, we have a slow spot happening westbound 580 into the allatoona pass. It could get busy out of tracy and mount house, extending to grant line. Also, we are seeing some brake lights as you work your way along the minutes freeway. There are a couple of things to look out for, southbound 880 towards 92 getting onto the san mateo bridge exit. We have reports of a broken down vehicle and it is slow going through downtown oakland and that is due to construction in the roadway not far from the boulevard. Traffic is slow through their. Likely construction is causing delays on south 680. There is a stall eastbound 24 at Pleasant Hill but that should not impact your drive much. Roadwork might be closed through their. Was found 580 and two of five to 680 is a 34 minute drive time. We are in the green around highway four and 101. That is good for san jose. Traffic is moving okay with no delays and in my next report we will look at our bay area bridges. Back to you. Could there be life on venus .

And keep it golden. Much ado about the air sunday but it was a far better than seattle last night. It was so bad that the mariners and the oakland as played a doubleheader. Now the roof at tmobile park did very little for those wearing heavyduty masks in the outfield. He blew a five minute zero lead in game one. Kyle lewis made it 54 mariners with a long home run in the fifth. Seattle won the game 65 but it seemed like it was more frustration about the air. I should not be gasping for air. I will leave it at that. They went out there for game two. He is robbed of a grand slam by kyle lewis in centerfield. A great graph through the smoke. They replaced the injured chapman and he wouldve been proud of that shot. He grew up in seattle. Plenty of support from mike meyer, whose finished off. They struck out eight. He picked up his first win of the season. They revealed that George Kittle sprained his knee on this play against the cardinals. He left the halftime and did not make a catch the rest of the game. His status for sunday against the jets is uncertain. The western conference finals for the nba are on the ice. They lost a goal lead in the third period and then over time, they win for dallas and they take the series and advanced to the first stanley cup finals since the year 2000. And they get another shot at the title, with hopefully the lightning and islanders. With no fans attacking the stands, you can clearly hear the quarterback calling the sounds of the line of scrimmage. Not a good thing. Not if you are derek carr. Send it through tiger woods . That is his wife. He changed the play in the line of scrimmage. That is pretty normal for him. For me, i could never hear him until yesterday so i do not know what he has been up to. Better keep my wife out of this from now on. Gruden is having fun with that. The raiders won the game. Want to hear what derek carr is going to say next .
