no cloud cover out there right now. what we do have is haze because of all the smoke in the air. you can taste it this morning, smell it. i stupidly drove in with the sun roof open even though i could smell it. should have turned the air conditioner on and filtered the air out because just about every single neighborhood has unhealthy air right now. let's take a look at what's going on in santa

injuries. >> crazy video. let's get over to mike nicco for a check of what it's looking like here at home. >> that same storm is coming our way. will it have the same effects? i don't think so. what it is doing, you can see behind me, look at all the cloud cover. we're bone dry from about 3,000 feet to 8,000 feet. so anything you see on the radar there, which is mainly over the ocean, is going to evaporate before it reaches the ground. you can see on our high resolution future forecast model here that there will be some storms popping up. i just don't think they'll be quite as intense as what they're showing withiole yellows and ors moving from modesto to the east bay and falling apart because there's too much dry air underneath them. something we definitely have in the forecast as far as there's the potential for a thunderstorm. and that means there's some lightning. fire danger could go up. partly sunny, milder. poor air and humid today. a slow cooler trend the rest of this week. let's take a look at our temperatures. we'll start in the south bay. 87 in san jose and los gatos. 81 in millbrae to 86 in redwood city. on the peninsula today, we've got low 70s along the coast. until you get to daly city and sunset and into downtown, some mid 70s there. upper 70s in south san francisco and sausalito. mid 70s across the north bay beaches. look at that, mid to upper 80 through the valleys. even 90s around calistoga, cloverdale, and lakeport. and then we've got 80 to about 86 degrees along the east bay shore. and still going to be hot inland. still need the air conditioners here. low to mid 90s. let's see if we sleep any better tonight. we'll be a little cooler once again. temperatures in the mid to upper 60s in most neighborhoods. some 70s in the south bay. and inland east bay. let's check out the cooler trend. i did say it was slow. you could see tuesday, a couple degrees cooler. think we may see a bigger drop, especially along the coast and bay wednesday as the marine layer and the marine layer clouds will return. they'll push inland thursday, friday, and saturday. you can see our coolest days. then a little bit of a rebound sunday. today is probably the worst day going forward because it is hazy. it is hot. and it is a little humid outside. but it's definitely nothing like what we dealt with over the weekend. >> thank goodness. our houses can finally cool dn a little bit. >> yes. somebody tweeted, yeah, now it's cooler outside than it is inside our houses. >> i know. yeah, it's brutal. hopefully some relief on the way for you. if you have to work, all kinds of relief on the roads. it's looking great. green all the way around on our traveling conditions. of course, later on this afternoon into this evening, we could see a lot of folks returning after maybe a little labor day weekend getaway. keep that in mind. it could be extra busy this afternoon. right now, boy, just looking add some extremely decent drive times and some really quick speeds here, too. westbound 205 to 580, 61 miles per hour. 58 miles per hour approaching altamont pass. that's just unheard of for that stretch of roadway. and a quick check of the bay bridge camera as well. you can see the smoke and haze under the street lamps. again, really poor air quality. it is a spare the air day. even though there aren't many folks on the roads, if you can carpool or use mass transit, that's the way to go. westbound 580, highway 4 to the maze, 18 minutes. just about eight across the bay bridge, and southbound 101, that looks great at nine minutes. a lot of changes for mass transit today with the holiday. i'll talk more about that next. >> all right, thanks, alexis. >> next at 6:00, a rare look at the last line of defense if a missile was fired at the u.s. >> a

the small craft advisory means a sea breeze is going to develop this afternoon. westbound, 15 to 25 knots from 3:00 to 10:00 in the areas you see shaded in yellow from the golden gate bridge and bay bridge into the delta. if you're heading to the coast, 1:00 to 9:00, a south wind. that's unusual. usually it's a north wind. it's a south wind from 1:00 to 9:00. all right, here's a look from sutro tower. today's temperatures about 6 to 16 degrees cooler. notice where the biggest drops are, inland, places like walnut creek, petaluma to san jose. then san francisco, oakland, and redwood city

is a spare the air day, but we have a lot of schedule changes for a lot of our mass transit agencies. the weekend schedule for san francisco bay ferry also no harbor bay service or south san francisco ferry service today. capital corridor offering reduced service on a weekend holiday schedule, and then muni will be on reduced service as well, operating on a sunday schedule. use mass transit, just

another day of poor air quality. all neighborhoods have poor air quality right now. let's go through your 12-hour day planner. 61 to 67 are the temperatures at the coast. we should make it to the low 70s between noon and 4:00. 80s around the bay, and upper 80s to low 90s inland. so there you go. the 100s are gone. how about we get rid of those 90s? i'll show you that coming up in the accuweather
