Smoke just shrouding the bay area and you can see the haze in the air from our emeryville camera looking at the port of oakland. Visibility is low around parts of the bay area. Not just because of the smoke but because of low clouds over two miles in half. Moon bay, six miles in oakland, san jose reporting four mile visibility. You normally have ten mile visibility. It gives you an indication of how things are looking 50s and 60s on those temperatures right now on live doppler seven, we have some low clouds right near the coastline that area of low pressure that has been providing us with the cooler than average conditions still with us.
