Heading to the afternoon, near normal daytime highs in the upper 80s around 90 in concord and livermore. Low 80s and san jose. The upper 60s in san jose several disco and low 70s in oakland. We talk more about the heat advisories and excessive heat warnings for the Holiday Weekend, coming up. Speaking of the Holiday Weekend, we see later conditions on the freeways and for the most part. That is good news. There are a couple of hotspots. Westbound 37, you have brake lights and for the commute working out of the east bay into marin county. I vallejo. You have a slow ride westbound. No accidents. Just a bit busy. We are seeing slightly slower speeds westbound 580 into the past. It is actually pretty clear out of tracy picked the drive times are pretty much in the green for all of the major freeways. 21 minutes to a five through 680. Changes for mass transit. I will have that in the next
Evacuated. The estimated number more than doubled according to cal fire officials from 28,000, to they are going place to place trying to save homes. More than 1000 fireednd i graed 64,000 today. Based on my observations over stt erl the last three days we have e it w st seen fewer, and fewer people and that is because you see the destruction and residents here have seen homes burned down. Chances are they will take off and evacuate as soon as they see that. That is what we have seen so far here in ben loman and in the areas nearby. Enny rerting live thank you. North bay killed four people and is now the 10th largest fire in state history. Mandatory evacuations expanded north covering forced ville and around lake sonoma. We do have evacuation orders that are being lifted along with that this is interesting we are also in the process of adding more evacuations. That is something we normally do not do. We are spread out on still large geographical area, that we have different fire behavi
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
Fog and overcast weather to start tuesday. The air quality has been on everyones mine. Smoke from the fires is hovering over much of the bay area. This brings, on the seventh consecutive day of unhealthful air. Doctors warn about the Health Effects of the smoke. This is especially for older people. Cloth and surgical masks dont filter smoke. They are still urging people to wear them because of the pandemic. I was looking here at the apple i used to see the air quality. The air quality is much different in different cities. In oakland, it is much better than it is right now in San Francisco. Right, i live in the east bay. Air quality has been rough. My brother lives up in el cerrito. Things have been better for him there. I always check to see what my parents and siblings are going through. People who have asthma, the elderly, people who have trouble breathing, even on a good day, they are the ones who are required to be careful now. Thats a good time to remember, i mean, about what the
Some temperatures are cooling. There is not a screaming delta wind. It is not as hot as yesterday. We have 50s and 60s on the temps. We have fog and low clouds. The highs today are near average for some, slightly above for others. All right, over to allie, you said you had a minor blip, or is that better now . It is getting better. I am talking about south bound 238 before westbound 580. You can see it on the maps. It is no longer coming up as a crash on the maps. There is still some towing that needs to be done for this single vehicle crash. It is not causing too much backup. If you are taking i880 past the coliseum, you will see no problems to worry about. It is a short drive macarthur maze, 16 minutes. Once you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, things are pretty clear it is nice and easy on this monday morning commute. Lets go back to the headlines. Happening today, Oakland School students have the first day of school. There is still no deal between the Teachers Union and Oakland Un
