Right now on kpix 5 and streaming on cbsn bay area, we are looking live from our rooftop camera out at the beautiful bay bridge this morning. Good morning everyone, it is friday, we made it to friday. Thank goodness. Its august 28th. Im michelle griego. We did it. Good morning, im len kiese. A check of the weather now with mary lee and a spare the air alert has been extended through the weekend. Thats right. Still watching that haze and smoke. Len and michelle, on this friday morning and checking current air quality conditions, not as great as yesterday morning. Ange and reds and that does indicate that unhealthy air for the bay area. So because of that, we have a spare the air alert. That remains in effect today as well as through the weekend. So looking at that spare the air over the next few days and likely even beyond that. Now we are looking at that smoke forecast as we take you through the day, and you can see that is red and purple colors and that indicates that smoke. So still
Time of year. But we are tracking that haze and that smoke, this is our smoke forecast and those red and purple colors indicate that intense smoke coming from those fires burning across our region. Well talk about what you can expect, taking you through our weekend and details on that coming up. But its a foggy start along the coast and right around the bay. And even across the Golden Gate Bridge. Gianna . Yes it is mary and thats where we start this around. Good morning. If you plan on taking the Golden Gate Bridge this morning you can see in the live shot its a little murky out there. So limited visibility might be an issue and in fact, chp issued a fog advisory overnight for the portion of marin city down to the Golden Gate Bridge there. So far, things are moving at the limit for the most part. You might see some slightly slower speeds as you head through the waldo grade and on the span itself. But taking a quick look at the Altamont Pass, here westbound 580. You know, things build
Francisco and mid 70s for oakland. So that smoke forecast still showing that smoke pushing across our region. Well talk more about the weekend forecast coming up. Gianna . Good morning, taking a look at the roadways right now, metering lights are on at the bay bridge toll plaza. So things are getting busy there. Also looking at another bridge here the Golden Gate Bridge, it is a foggy start to your commute out of marin county. So just a headsup if you are traveling from marin city to the Golden Gate Bridge. Limited visibility might be an issue this morning. Elsewhere the Altamont Pass also one of the busy spots westbound 580. Its a slow and go ride out of tracy getting on the 580 connector from 205. No accidents thats the good news but the drive time still right around 30 minutes to go from 205 over to 680. New crash reported on the nimitz freeway. Ill have that coming up in my next report. Len . Happening today, positive trends in slowing the spread of covid19 add up to good news for
The air and from the freeway you can see the flames. We are at cherry glen and Pleasant Valley road and chp blocking that intersection only letting law enforcement, First Responders in to try to prohibit that traffic to do their job. For hours folks have been working to evacuate, preparing to evacuate from this fire. Earlier you heard from one of our own discussing how stressful it is. He said he could see the flames from his home and began taking photos of the belongings, photos of the home in case to document the damage. Good advice in this vacaville area. May be best to prepare or get a plan together to leave. When we were here we were actually parked next to a car of a gentleman and his dog. They left their home seeking higher ground. Take a listen to what some of these folks are going through as they prepare to leave this area. Been through fires before. Ive never evacuated before but why this time . Because it was it was coming hard and coming fast and winds were probably about 4
