The week and brings all sorts of potential problems. Poor air quality over the weekend. We talked about that forecast smoke model at 5 00 so i want to show the airquality forecast over the next several days. Today was another day of just perfectly clear skies overhead, no problems whatsoever, tomorrow and saturday it is possible him of the smoke from the fires to the north, especially the august complex will seek down into the northbay and east bay, some may sneak down into the Santa Clara Valley on saturday and sunday and monday, moderate air quality forecast across the board. The big question is how much of that smoke from the creek fire in the sierra moves toward us as the upper level wind should surround a little bit and how much of that smoke makes its way to the ground levels of the official forecast is not showing anything worse than moderate but i think it is very possible that we are going to see some orange and even red dots in the forecast. The record heat builds on what has already been an abnormally warm month of september. Here is where we drank so far this month, with those average temperatures. Seeing taking the average of those, a tooth warmest on record in San Francisco come the tent warmest in san jose, and the top 10 in santa rosa it awfully close and livermore, it warmest on record in concord but the climate record in concord does not go back quite as far, that is not as significant but with record high temperatures in the forecast, sunday, monday, maybe even into tuesday, we will be climbing up the ranks even further than we already have so far this month. Today, though, the high temperatures are pretty close to normal, 86 degrees in concord, 87 in santa rosa, those of the toasty spots. 76 in fremont, 71 in the city and even 70 degrees in Half Moon Bay, very nice temperatures for the second full day of autumn. Current temptress a mix of 70s and 80s, sunday when sfo, it is similar downtown, temperatures Still Standing at 70 degrees. 64 in Half Moon Bay for the cool spot, 85 in fairfield for the warm spot and that is not bad for this time of year. And he found that we do see will be thinner, not to guess on to dissipate as we head to the day tomorrow, temperatures will be warming up from the start in the 50s, across the board. Everybody between 50 and 58 degrees which is close to normal for this time of year to near average amateurs again tomorrow, everybody within five degrees on either side of our normal, upper 60s in the city, a couple degrees cooler than today, up into the low to mid 80s farther in on the very warmest spots, a touch about that. Mid 60s along the coast, low 80s for the Santa Clara Valley including exactly 80 degrees in san jose. Low to mid 80s for the tri valley, the hotspots in Solano County approaching 90 degrees around the central bay, upper 60s, low to mid 70s, very similar to the past couple of days of mostly low to mid 80s for the northbay, 86 degrees in santa rosa, a degree cooler than today and mid to upper 80s for northern sonoma and napa county as well. The real heat starts to kick in on saturday, but we step on the gas pedal for sunday, and triple digit heat for much of the bay area inland. I think the city is going to flip 90 degrees on monday, and above average amateurs will continue right on in to early october, so we can look forward to that as well.

But as don ford shows us, city leaders and some local Business Owners are working to change that. Losing an entire street in the heart of the tenderloin for Outdoor Dining is a bold move. Artistry disclosing between two traffic on thursdays, fridays and saturdays. This allows merchants and restaurants to set up in the street hoping to attract diners.
