Attorney and everybody high Vicki Liviakis and im grant lotus certainly surreal lot of people saying these ominous skies were in a way stunning yet certainly. Unsettling to wake up to hard to know what time it was all day long want to check in first with our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow. Obviously everyones wondering lawrence is going to happen again tomorrow. Yeah i think well start to see some improvement tomorrow were not going to see asked smoky conditions around the bay area but certainly. Theyll still be some smoke out there we had those north northeasterly winds remember were talking about the high fire danger yesterday, were worried about the real gusty winds. Well, those winds didnt cause or sparking fires around the bay area but we did have a fires that were already burning in far Northern California up you county near paradise they another fire burning there the bear fire lot of smoke filtering in from that fire moving right in the bay area and the smoke deep enough that are really change the color of the sky of filtered out a good part of the visible spectrum so youre left with the orange the yellows and the reds and that encompass the entire bay area as we had eerie skies continuing throughout the day certainly very strange we look toward the middle of the day the street lights are looks like that will starting tomorrow little bit you know what happens in the big pattern near High Pressure above that ridge of High Pressure you see the clockwise rotation around to bring us some of the offshore winds. Well that is going to change this ridge of High Pressure is going to move to the north and thats whats going to come up from the south kind of replacing that ridge so the circulation around this other ridge going to start to bring more of a westerly component to win and i think that will be just enough to sweep some of that smoke out of our skies and start to improve the air quality of course were fairly lucky that we had that marine layer around the bay area that really kind of separated things that kept us with some fresh air out there in some parts of the bay area are seeing that again tonight as the fog and low clouds kind of dance beginning to move on shore once again pushing into the bay and you see that making its way through the Golden Gate Bridge right now and certainly moving further and further on shore so a very the air quality in the San Francisco look at the support equality now as youre seeing the areas shaded in orange here that stretches all the way across in oakland and san leandro pockets of poor quality now and lael very bad air quality in parts of fairfield also in a vacaville while the rest the bay area look at a mainly in the yellow here those are a moderate amounts of blues building up but overnight tonight, hes going to settle out you see that smoke kind of cooling in and around the bay area sponsor you wake up the pockets of the smoke. You likely have little ash on your car tomorrow morning when you wake up, but it looks like as we head through the day tomorrow air quality should begin to improve are going to see more of a sea breeze.
