Orange haze, apocalypse. And at 4 00, it is almost dark out in some areas. This is a live look from our roof top tower camera. We have Team Coverage today. Well have a look around the bay. Lets begin with Spencer Christian and a look at what is behind this eerie looking sky. Ominous, spencer. It is. No doubt about it. I dont think ive seen anything quite like this myself. Heres the satellite image showing low clouds, of course, with our marine layer, and tons of smoke above in the upper layer of the atmosphere. It has contributed to this orange look in the sky. It appears to be the orange. It is bringing up some cooler air and keeping it from getting, the air quality from getting too bad. Above the marine layer is where all the smoke is collecting. The marine layer o orso. Smoke is still collecting in the atmosphere. So weve got the stronger sea breeze at the coast and the weaker winds aloft. Despite that, the air quality is not terrible and you can see from our air quality indicator,
Washington square park is now question got milk . New book about the president and closed scram, go away. Ugh. The pandemic. Nothing more could have been up a party at a park near nyu. Show us what you got. Done. This morning bob woodward is fire alerts for the area. Reporter after police broke hashtag got milk. With us exclusively in his first locally gusty winds. Live interview and a stunning with us exclusively in his first the reason for those winds, a system coming in, thats the we been stuck inside for so up a party at a park near nyu. Good news thats going to long, we deserve to have fun. Caring for each other new recording from his nine hours of interviews with the hopefully thin out some of that wildfire smoke and bring more we been stuck inside for so because we are all in this together. New recording from his nine showers into the pacific those images are disturbing. The worst lies are the lies you tell yourself. Hours of interviews with the northwest. And eventually califor
All the smoke looks like big bank of clouds. The smoke coming down in our direction from the oregon fires and the fires of california and it is just collecting in the upper levels of the atmosphere. And then the low clouds and fog, the marine layer, down at the surface level. A layer cake effect with the smoke layer above and the marin layer below. And we had a rather vigorous onshore flow with weaker winds aloft. Right now, theyre getting a little stronger but not enough to change the setup that ive just explained to you. Fog. Air quality right now, be nearly as red as you might think by looking at the ugly air. We have yellow dots indicating moderate air quality. We have poor air quality in ukiah and vacaville. Looking southward, oakland, San Francisco, fremont, livermore, san jose, we even have good air quality indicated by the green dots over parts of, well, parts of the santa cruz mountains. The marine layer will push locally inland. We might see some drizzle in the overnight hour
This photo sent by les carr. Lets look at live conditions. This is our camera on top of our studio in jack london square, looking out towards San Francisco. You cant even see the city there in the distance. Some are describing the key is as having a post apocalyptic look. Here is another camera at sfo. The sky appears more gray than orange. Flights have not been affected by all of the ash in the air we are told. And finally a live camera in the east bear on highway 24 in laugh fayette, looking toward walnut creek. Our view from mount diablo has been obscured. You cant even see it, for the past three weeks now. Lets go for more on this s bill, weve all been talking, never seen anything like it. No, this is, in our tenure, definitely, julie, this has been unprecedented. I saw something similar to this, like i mentioned earlier, when Mount Saint Helens blew in 1982 in eastern washington. The skies looked like this. But that was a major, massive volcano. I mean, the smoke from these fires
Bazaar, surreal, ominous, how would you describe it . This day was different. Good evening, im julie haener. It was crazy, julie. Im frank somerville. Just when you thought 2020 might run out of surprises we are created with one of the most bizarre days in memory. Im 62, grew up in the bay area and never seen anything like it. Headlights on noontime, ash falling from the sky and body clocks wrist disrupted. For some, a sense of being completely out of sync. The dark sky during the daytime had folks grabbing their cameras. Ktvu was flooded with pictures from our viewers. Photographer kevin shane sent this picture from the embarcadero in San Francisco. And john warren sent this this picture from the Golden Gate National conservancy. It was taken on alcatraz island. You can see there is San Francisco completely disappearing in the background. And karen keller sent us this picture from hillsboro with trees creating silhouettes against the backdrop. We have Team Coverage tonight. Our chief
