area with more air quality in the breezy offshore winds once again affecting the southern california fires. it was 86 yesterday in los angeles. that's 8 to 12 degrees above average. so we're in this blocking atmospheric pattern where we continue to get these easterly winds and as a result they're getting funneled through the canyons, 29 to 36 miles an hour. this is 1:00 this afternoon and the red-flag warning through the evening hours. the winds should go belowed a vitzry levels after that. you can still see they are very, very breezy here and it's been a week that we of been into this pattern. looks like not until next saturday will we get an onshore push. so unfortunately that will bring it to about two weeks of the pattern that has been stuck in place. as we look at our air quality for today, it has v is not good. in the north bay, the koeps, and the central bay and elsewhere is moderate. illegal to burn again, and you'll probably notice the haze throughout the morning and afternoon hours. 34 in livermore 3x 1 in san ramon, 30 in santa rosa, 37 in oakland. it's even cold they are morning than yesterday with 60s on the coast here. some southerly winds but you head towards san mateo. it ools 39, 38 in mountain view and a balmy 54 in los gatos. realry doesly does depend on the wind and the terrain and where you're sich bait waited. a live look outside. clear here and san francisco. in the sacramento valley it is kind of dicey there. poor air quality continues, chilly overnight temperatures with mild afternoons and the dry pattern does look like it is going to continue. in the east bay today, it will be very mild, a little hazy. notice we're in the 40s at 8:00, 50s by 10:00, upper 50s noontime and mid-60s throughout the afternoon. and that is about 5 to 10 degrees above average bay area wide. we'll drop through the 50s by about 6:00. so as we go through the next two weeks it does look like we're going to stay dry throughout much of the state and a 50% chance that right on through the 19th of december we will be drier than normal. so some of the forecast models go out through about the 26th of december and it still does look dry. we'll look for temperatures today in the low to mid-60s for most of you but the south end of the bay from the peninsula to the south bay about 70, once again 73 in santa cruz. overnight lows in the low 30s for santa rosa, 36 in concord, 40 in palo alto and the accuweather seven-day forecast, we're looking at the numbers still around v just around 70 for much of southern end of the bay, the upper 60s around the bay with mid-60s at the coast, very little change and we have those breezy offshore winds again continuing locally here with the cold morning. so download our accuweather app and stay up to date

area with more air quality in the breezy offshore winds once again affecting the southern california fires. it was 86 yesterday in los angeles. that's 8 to 12 degrees above average. so we're in this blocking atmospheric pattern where we continue to get these easterly winds and as a result they're getting funneled through the canyons, 29 to 36 miles an hour. this is 1:00 this afternoon and the red-flag warning through the evening hours. the winds should go belowed a vitzry levels after that. you can still see they are very, very breezy here and it's been a week that we of been into this pattern. looks like not until next saturday will we get an onshore push. so unfortunately that will bring it to about two weeks of the pattern that has been stuck in place. as we look at our air

degrees above average bay area wide. we'll drop through the 50s by about 6:00. so as we go through the next two weeks it does look like we're going to stay dry throughout much of the state and a 50%
