Its just going to be hazy again around the bay area not much improvement but theres a sign that we may begin to change we saw a little bit that today we saw started to see a little more sunshine out there today and that will give a little more mix in the atmosphere and as that happens well hopefully start to see some difference in temperatures and that you get the sea breeze going a bit thats where fears across for a little less smoke into sunday, but i think a really will be toward the middle of the week until we really have a good way the mix at all the smoke.

Youve got the patchy fog out to the beaches and the haze and the smoke as you get inside the bay 60s and some 70s day we saw these numbers come up a bit tomorrow. I think similar numbers are going to see 70 some 80s inside the bay 80s in the interior valleys that should be just enough to generate some a change in the weather pattern as were going to see a little bit more wind special we get into sunday that should lead to little more mix in the atmosphere, but i think it may take a while maybe not toward the middle of next week were see a cold front dropping the california that will really start to mix out the smoke.
