Ok good morning robin good morning, everybody we start with a red flag warning that continues to hang on to Solano County because of additional threats weve already had with the damage thats been done all over the bay, but this is because theres still some dry winds that are left over as a formality for Solano County this is being held on until 9. This morning. Now upstream were going to have winds but its going to be from a different direction well be seeing more on shore compliments of this front that stays well up towards the north still under some dominance and influence we are behind pressure that weve been talking about but that would rival bit of that onshore wind invite in a little bit more in the way humidity. Some haze to greet us this morning live shot comes in from u c berkeley there. Lets watch that humidity flow now roads away today. There we can see its quite dry in the afternoon picking those inland valleys, but then tonight look at the recovery everywhere. We dont get a whole lot Solano County kind of goes right to the delta and spills out into the sacramento valley, but at least across the bay, this is better the were looking at this morning. So it is an improvement more moisture on shore flow cooler temps everythings working in our favor Going Forward and then in the afternoon that is tomorrow afternoon well get a little drying out there but again heres the recovery by saturday morning. Temperatures thus far were at 73 for antioch meanwhile 60s cover most of the east bay 50s now up to the north bay and 62 for san jose kind of the daily forecast here 71 at 09 00am by high noon word, 85, however, this afternoon these are high temperatures were looking at look at that still in the upper 90s but at least weve retired the triple digits for now. This weekend. We may. Tiptoe into them a little bit well be checking your longerrange forecast and a bit party. All right dave thanks a lot. We can take short break but as we take a break were going to take you outside for a live look. At the smoky conditions, were looking at vacaville and you can see the haze there in the air. Well have more coverage of the fires coming up right after the break, including the lousy air quality that were having to deal with around the bay area that well be right back. Dear california. We know these are challenging times. Rest assured, you are not alone. Weve all had to adapt. And with summer here, your energy bills might go up with rising temperatures. Together, we can save energy and money. Try closing your shades during the day. Setting your ac to 78 or higher. Or cooling off with a fan when you can. United we are always stronger. Stay well, california, and keep it golden. Welcome back everyone were back with breaking news that were following for you this morning thats all the fires that are burning across the bay area of those fires are having a huge impact on the air quality well they sure are take a look at this map its from the bay area air Quality Management district. You can see just how bad the air quality in the bay area is by looking at the map now the darker the color. The worse the air quality is now you can see right over san jose where the air quality is pretty bad and then look up near vacaville as well. Besides scene and of course people around the bay area can smell the smoke as well were going to continue to keep an eye on this map and the outside skies and the air quality for you throughout the morning robin absolutely well the east bay, Regional Park does. Was all Regional Parks until further notice check out the list are this is accept first some shoreline parts. Now heres a list of the parks that are close Officials Say the extreme fire danger and the 4 air quality are just adding to park safety concerns. 85,000 acres have burned in the region so far and again the district is advising against using Regional Parks in the east bay just dont do it. Well to the north bay now that would work fire continues to burn in the Point Reyes National seashore that summer in county residents in bolinas the Bolinas Community right along the coast are under evacuation warnings from forcefully to call has more. At least 1100 acres of wild land has burned along the point raze National Seashore near the west rim county community of bolinas by wednesday afternoon marine county fire chief jason webber says his crews were struggling to reach the flames 0 contained right now webber says the woodward fire started tuesday afternoon. It may have been ignited from a Lightning Strike or began as a spot fire from another blaze that kept growing with heat and when he issued evacuation warnings. The west side of highway one south of the lima through the community of bolinas those are warnings not orders at this time. So we want people to be prepared if they do need to leave and we issue an order around 125 firefighters are responding to the fire but without air support. Because fire resources are stretched thin throughout the state we are already we have contingency plans, im got all. I pack stuff ready to go fortunately no homes have been damaged and no residents or firefighters have been injured Pay Attention to to the fired twitter feed. A sign up for the marine be ready to go because depending on the conditions the situation can go from bad to worse quickly. In the latest belief that all kron 4 news. And from the north bay we go to the east bay where 4 separate fires make up the deer zone fire youre taking a look at video wow this is from tuesday. The fire has thus far has charred 102,000 acres just look at that thick black smoke there its only 5 contained this morning. So far only to First Responders have been injured in that fire. And of course were worried about the fire danger of course, but also the air quality around the bay area days far as going to fill us in on that and the weather and were getting a little bit of a cool down a day. Yeah thats whats happening upstream here a little bit. Heres the shot from u c berkeley here we do have some haze leftover a little bit. But what we have upstream looks to be pretty good though heres a live shot of the Golden Gate Bridge as well. Now what we have helping us up is a little front up to the north here and that will provide a little bit of an onshore flow. This high is going to be waning as we go forward a little bit here. This on shore flow is going to cool us down and bring more moisture our way and improve the conditions a little bit as we head into the weekend on the weekend. We may bounce a little bit temperature wise. 60s cover a lot of the east bay 50s meanwhile up to the north bay 71 for any aac 62 meanwhile for san jose so here the players in place here as this High Pressure is starting to wane a little bit theres the front up towards the north. So we have hazy conditions leftover still plenty hot, but it will be a little bit hotter off to the central valley, were were going to get some minor relief here with this front up towards our north. You have the kind of squint to see this because today not much happens. But as we get into tonight. Its sometimes called the humidity recovery. There you can see around the bay were getting a little bit more of that marine layer knocking on our doorstep here in flooding the bay area. So its a little minor improvement and that will be by tonight and tomorrow morning, not so much into the weekend and were getting some more moisture getting up here. Early into next week. Now than other part of this you can see is from the winds now during the day we sometimes get those onshore winds at any rate because we have been let heating but this high is really kind of cut that activity off and hasnt been as active. But notice how its active in Southern Marine here into the afternoon there notice the arrow directions to as well this being on shore. So that will happen by this afternoon and for tonight tomorrow morning to greet us a little bit as well, not too much in the way of winds hanging on the winds are not necessarily something we want to see with all these problems going on, but at least it will bring in some of the marine layer when it does this 73 San Francisco, the target number oakland at 79 87 for san jose across the wider bay temperatures are still not a hot but not as hot as before any on for example checking in at 96 conquer to 96 as well 92 livermore east bay shoreline to the south in the lower 80s up in the north bay kind of a hodgepodge of 90s an 80s 87 meanwhile for san jose. Theres the greens struggling to hang on a little bit dont prove a little bit into the forecast for tomorrow but coming up a little later on well have of course the 4 zone forecast for you and check in at that extended talking a little bit more about whats going on on our monday could be high elevation showers or thundershowers at work.

So firefighters hooper im able to keep it from from the homes gain some advantage to share a in the city. And how long youve been on the job in vacaville. Ive been in a vacaville for 5 years, but ah ah close to 30 years in the fire service have you ever seen a situation that you had yesterday last night where the fire jumps 10 lanes of freeway. I i actually have really on a Southern California but our Northern California i had ever see it like that that was that quite a me you dont expect to do that to do that but jump that many lanes of freeway we we werent expecting we we thought there was a possibility so we were a year he has had that. And were for that contingency just happened to be not you dont necessarily expect it. And because its so hot and so dry and humid out there. How people are wondering you know we know you guys are doing the best you can but how do you fight fires like this whats your strategy under such extreme heat. Yet make sure that the firefighters getting some rest. Although i mean its its kind of now with what are you all of fires that are going on. But uh know you just hope and pray the weather turns in favor.

So we are monitoring the weather, im very carefully monitoring the fire like theyre a very closely.

Mark says everybody and all the houses are gone for sure. But i dont think thats going happen. I think the firefighters are doing their job theyre going to contain it.

Im on cherry glen road overpass just off of i 80 and you can see traffic is moving along right now albeit some lanes are shut down look at the center of your screen. They have cones the shutdown that number one lane of eastbound 80 towards sacramento. Often the distance you might be able to see some flashing lights. Those are firefighters keeping a close eye on the situation there is that thick blanket of smoke that sits on top of this area. Breathing is terrible. It is windy and look at that still patches of flames on both sides of i 80 that actually yesterday for hours shut down both directions because it was simply too dangerous. 4 cars to drive by. We are about 4 miles from Pleasant Valley road where that neighborhood just went up in flames in the overnight hours we do know that at least 50 homes have been destroyed. Thousands of homes are still and the path of the fire and the fire still burns out of control this morning. We are not hearing of any residents being killed by the fire as many of them actually stayed up in the overnight hours to watch the fire and if they did not get the knock at the door, many of them left on their own so we will move to the neighborhood a little bit later this morning but i wanted to let you know that i 80 in both directions at least for now open to the public.

Well good morning robin good morning, everybody we have upstream here a little front thats not going make it completely down here but the effects will be felt as this high weakens which means a little bit that marine layer start to sneak back in here what those onshore winds cooling us down adding more humidity and recoveries for tomorrow morning then were seeing today but still for this morning Solano County is under still that red flag warning because the winds are still a bit on the dry side and that remains a threat for any new problems to develop 60s in the east bay for now 71 covers antioch 50s up to the north bay at least for now 62 san jose and 50s back towards the peninsula. But the comparison is actually pretty nice were a half a dozen degrees behind were we were from this time yesterday and we have a little bit more in the way of humidity.
