This years Famous International balloon fiesta event is canceled with covid19, but more than 100 balloons are taking flight and dotting the skies over the duke city. It turns out albuquerque has a perfect mixture of winds and temperature to fly in early october. So pretty. Glad that can happen. Hot air balloons is a good social distance activity. Yes, id say so, and weve been advertising a little bit of a cooldown, but now were beginning to see the signs of that, so we saw patchy fog yesterday. A little more along the coast, and we still have those northerly upper level winds so waiting for that wind shift and the high to nudge its way to the east, and then thats really when were going to see some better cooling. Its on track for the week ahead, live doppler 7, theres just some patchy fog at the coast but it is lined up from the north coast down to Southern California, and then theres a system if you can see just offshore there of the central coast. Doesnt look like much but that also will enhance our low cloud deck and in turn bring the temperatures down as we get through the middle of the week and then yet theres another system actually theres two of those systems and the third system will allow for perhaps rain to arrive friday. Here is a look at mt. Tam. Sun coming up at about 7 08 and air quality is still moderate here. Good in some spots. It is 55 in the city, 59 in oakland, and san jose. 54 on the coast and you can barely see the flag there with the winds blowing, 49 santa rosa, 52 novato and napa with upper 50s in our inland valleys. As we look at santa cruz 57. 80 today and plenty of fog here, so looking at cooler conditions by 5 00 to 6 00 degrees along the central coast. We have the coastal fog this morning, temperatures five to ten degrees cooler, above average for this time of year and the haze in our inland east bay, also in the north bay, and a chance of rain friday into next saturday. So with that wind shift, the air quality for the short term is getting a little bit better in spots but look what happens as we get into later tomorrow, more of this yellow and orange is beginning to come our way, because our winds shift from the west to the southwest will bring up some of that smoke from the south. If we get that rain, its looking like we will, things will really begin to clear out the atmosphere and also the days ahead, leading up to it were certainly going to see more moisture in the atmosphere. Highs tomorrow in the low 90s inland, so that should be about the same as today, so very subtle differences with just a little bit more low clouds and fog as we start the day. Into your tuesday, looking at 60s and 70s around the bay, but its wednesday, we could have some mist and drizzle and highs even
