The sky has that orange haze in it, but its not necessarily in the very unhealthy air range right here in the bay area. So as you look at these live air quality monitoring sites, the only spot now thats tipped into the unhealthy category is napa. Otherwise its good in San Francisco, moderate for most of the bay area, and a few spots that are unhealthy for sensitive groups right now. So i want to talk more about the smoke and why were seeing it off towards the distance but were not necessarily smelling it as bad as it looks. And it all has to do with three different fires surrounding the bay area. We have one off to the north, the august complex, the one near fresno, the creek fire, and then the dolan fire off to the south.

Structures, a lot of homes out here, including this one youre looking at. While the fire did spare the vines, it took the familys home, as you can see, and, unfortunately, weve seen scenes like this all over wine country. This was the scene as we made our way toward calistoga this morning. Fire burning along highway 29, smack in the heart of wine country. Theres just no words. Theres no words for it.

Move off towards the north and east for the three large fires we have been tracking. So next 12 hours we are looking at good to moderate air quality but i am tracking some changes.
