This is what it looked like in San Francisco. Its a beautiful shot, but it shows you just how intense it was out there we have the transamerica a pyramid and the surrounding areas this drowning in red and orange and we have some photos coming out of the east bay as well. Look at that you can see folks stop near the intersection probably looking up like what is going on. Its ash was just all over the cars to we have a look from the north bay see someone took this picture looking at the sky and theres another car with ashes covered in the windows and were telling folks you know dont just take off and turn your water and your wipers on because just going to smudge up your windows a lot of folks have to stop and take a lot of time to clean those cars off we have more video check this out as this just panning the sky you can just see how hazy and was out there are no by uva my allergies or bother me i was coughing a lot yesterday. John a lot of folks say that they can smell the smoke they can definitely see it was your take on what was happening yesterday you take some great photos by the way did you get a chance to get some some nice shots yesterday during those first 3 that we showed i actually took and i know a lot of our from for viewers to these ones as well yeah, i suppose, so many people out there actually taking pictures, all. Great he wound on everyone everyone in downtown was Walking Around like maos open just looking up at the skies. And you know what Walking Around downtown yesterday. He knows exactly the case you couldnt smell being is worse smoke goes. I did notice that my house though later in the day has started to pick up on some of that snow did you yeah for sure i was coughing actually was coughing here in the studio and the cough just lingered throughout the day you know i was wondering like you know the smell of the smoke does that have something to do with like. The marine layer and where its trapped and you have to break this all down for all science but its a little confusing right thats exactly right actually one of the reasons we didnt really smell it for areas that had the marine layer yesterday is that marine layer was flattened right at the surface so it kept the smoke right above us so youre looking up at it which is part of the reason that San Francisco. And other areas, especially closer to the coast in the bay were so orange, where as you head inland and it was just gray and dark. It was that perfect combination of conditions and if you look at berkeley this morning, our live cam is still showing that orange a shoe. This is just from the lights of the city down below reflecting through the fog and haze that we have this morning so we are likely to have quite another orange sunrise, if not orange day entirely ahead of us and not a lot is changing in this forecast as far as the big picture goes. We still have a High Pressure ridge in place this is going to keep conditions. Pretty calm. Were also going to see sinking air so a lot of the smoke that is sitting over head is gradually going to try to make its way into the bay. The good news this morning as we do have a week on shore flow. So this mean marine layer is still present and its still sparing the air for some of our bayside areas from being as bad as it is for inland and north bay area so some of us are picking up on smoke. Some of us can barely detective as youre stepping outside. Thats going to be pretty similar to yesterday, these factors not much different than yesterdays. So unfortunately, yet again it does look like its likely to be an orange and hazy day ahead of us and temperatures are going to be cooler than what weve been seeing yesterday we stayed cool all day long because not a lot of heat from sunshine actually was able to penetrate through thau dense layer of smoke and today were likely to have the same so most of our daytime highs are going to be remaining in the 70s just a few 80s popping up across the bay and even some of these 80 degree places depending on the density of the smoke on top of you might not even see your numbers getting that warm. So most of us really will be staying in the 60s to 70s today. A dramatic cool down from just days ago when we were at a 110 degrees for many of our cities. Today and tomorrow it is going to be smoky. Its going to be hazy for many of us its likely to be orange. We will see gradually improving conditions ever so gradually through the course of the weekend into next week. Temperatures remain cool in the 80s inland and 70s by the way back to you robin and can i just say thank you for breaking that down and explaining it away then we appreciate it john.
