Bad air quality and what is ahead for us in the day. We have only seen a few lightning strikes over the bay area. Most of it has been to our east and some of it has been over the pacific but in terms of what we have seen, there are just a few and if we look live at the doppler, it is still raining in the north bay. This is actually good news because those are relatively light showers, just enough to dampen things up around the la yukon complex. There is a light rain through 101. Just to the north of healdsburg, there is a burn scar. It is good to see the light rainfall. We are not seeing any lightning being detected but it is still possible. We are not out of that threat yet. That red flag warning stays in effect until 5 00 this afternoon and if we watch the future cast from where the showers are now, they keep going. We will keep seeing showers until 10 00 this morning in the north bay and some of those could still develop an isolated strike of lightning or provide some gusty downdraf

Most of it was in the Central Valley and the pacific. There is still rain. Look at the showers. Actually, there is more good news because it has been light rain. But when you start to get into the bands of yellow and orange, and into mendocino, that is an example of this lightning. That potential will stay with us until 10 00 this morning. Not to mention, the red flag warning is in effect until 5 00 this evening because of the wind that can still be an issue and there is the issue with that. We are not out of the woods yet but we have gotten through the worst part of the evening in terms of where we would have seen the potential for the most widespread issues with lightning. So here is the forecast. Once the shower was clear out of the north bay, it is just going to be us and the smoke. There will be a lot of sm
