Is improvements thats where that were talking about moderate as improvements. But thats how bad we were just a couple of days ago. Now conditions will continue to get better as we make our way especially into thursday and friday these are your 2 days to really savor because theyre going have the best air quality before weekend conditions look likely to get a little worse yet again. 50s and 60s right now for your morning temperatures, not a bad way to start the morning. Later on today will be in the 70s 80s, not a bad way to spend the afternoon either robin thank you john were checking in on the Richmond Center fell where the drive time its double what it normally is because of an accident a minor crash, but its blocking. And its adding to the backup. So lets check in on west bound 5. 80 leading up to the pay gates, the crashes right after the view and we see looks like fire trucks responding to that as well if you look over to the right you can see some of fire trucks rolling out to th
Area. Both towers of the Golden Gate Bridge are visible today as we move it to moderate air quality. Thank you for joining us at 3 im Sanaz Tahernia the smoke from the wildfires have choked our skies and theyve now reached the other side of the country in this picture. You can see how the smoke has been distributed across the United States. The National Weather service says the smoke was caught in a jet stream and was carried across the u. S. And into the east coast want to check in on condition this hour with our meteorologist dave spahr dave is this a better air that were seeing or is it going to be changing again as weve seen in the last few days, whats got a little better you pointed out and it will continue that trend it looks like as we get later on during the week with the promise front. How about this live shot to this but looking good all of this afternoon out of Half Moon Bay doesnt look very inviting shadows been a little darker more stark going on for today. Now we do have
Been devastating to see those homes lost in this fire right behind me they are carrying out their morning to briefing to you have agencies from across the bay area here to help put out this fire. But i enjoy life right now with captain saw lopez is with the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office you know, lets talk about how its been for your department in the most important thing you want people to now so were currently working with cal fire in communicating with our residents in the south coast area thats been affected and many of those areas or rural and steep. So when we do issue a i suggest that everybody listens to those warnings you pack up your things and be ready to evacuate if those mandatory evacuation notices come out what have you seen anyone or people trying to stay back and not wanting to leave their houses and if that is happening. What do they need to do so those are some of the challenges we have experience at in the last 48 several deputies have interacting with residents

Look at the hillside right behind them completely charred and then to the left of them as well thats also charred so those flames easily could have jumped into their field, but it never did. Apparently according to sources that people who live here they water this area very well for the llamas to have their food and because of that you can see the grass is much greener here then on the other side.

So because of that it looks like the llamas are saved and i just noticed over there on the right side of your screen a couple of cows.

I dont know when was the last time i heard that. We heard the governor say were getting help from arizona, texas, nevada but that doesnt happen. They wont be here in five hours. In the meantime, firefighters here and i was referring to marine county fire asking for air support and they were told sorry, you guys are on your own. Youre not priority right now because there are close to 400 fires in california. It is a terrible situation right now, a dangerous situation. People are running for their lives up and down california and including in the bay area we have to cross our fingers and thank the firefighters for what they are doing and when the Sheriffs Office says get out, it is time to get out. We watched the News Conference live here yesterdid say there a more than 360 fires burning up and down california and
