We have a lot of smoke today, the spare the air alert patient to another day, probably a couple of days. Heres how the winds are doing this morning, theyre blowing north to northeast. Watch this in motion. I was going to put it in motion, i didnt do at that time. I wanted to show you the snow coming from the northern fires. What else is coming in as the fog along the coast. You can see in here. And above that, one reason you dont smell the smoke as it is much higher. Its not at the ground level. The ground level, well aloft we have winds going offshore. At the service, essentially we have winds going this way. We have this interest here with smoke going this way and clear going this way. These are the current winds are. You have a red flag warning at the higher elevations. Look at that, 32 miles an hour, way up high. Oakland north 10 miles an hour. Not as many, mount diablo up over 2000 feet.

Thats the wind you are experiencing, thats the fog i showed you with surface winds. That is ushering in a cooler air pattern. Aloft on the peaks you still have air going this way. I had a couple people in a couple of stories talking about where is the wind in napa . What if they shut the power off . Because a big winds and higher elevation, which we talked about since sunday night. A lot of folks, you wont even notice winds but some of these red flag warning days. Nonetheless, its dangerous. There is the difference. Look at how much cooler it is. That is the big story in my mind, much much clear whether around the bay area. That helps firefighters, that helps everybody. It helps Higher Quality too. The forecast for tomorrow, fog back at the coast, temperatures much cooler, as they were today. And temperatures continue to be on the mild side. You will see that in the five day forecast with 94 degrees in brentwood tomorrow.
