The will wing. Oh, just cool. 6 18. Time to forecast and what we can expect from the weather. Meteorologist kari hall has been keeping track of all of that. Kari, stepping outside today still may be an issue for people with the air quality. Yeah, we do still have bad air quality for the south bay especially as we get a live look outside, starting out with that smoke once again settling in during the early hours where we have the inversion where the air is pushed down as the air qua quality has been bad. Heading to lunch time if youre planning on heading out for a little while, its going to be in the mid70s as we take a look at what were expecting in concord and livermore and going into the afternoon well see the temperatures near the coastline staying in the 60s while well see some 80s in spots like napa as well as parts of the inland east bay, antioch, 83 degrees. Then going into this evening, a little bit more of a breezy wind still coming in from the south. But our temperatures start to cool off later tonight and fog returns to the coastline. And then as we look at our wind speed forecast, the winds have been picking up, but a southerly wind is just bringing in wildfire smoke from the south and northerly wind brings in wildfire smoke from the north. What we need is a brisk westerly wind and even over the ocean weve had some smoke but we are looking at its looking stronger enough with the approach of this storm system that could help improve our air quality at least going into the weekend. This could also bring in some rain to the Pacific Northwest. And for the end of the weekend for us its going to bring in some slightly cooler temperatures. We lock at our fiveday forecast for the air quality and once again its unhealthy today and still moderate tomorrow. But then look at the yellow colors that we have here as those sensors start to possibly pick up on less of that smoke in the air going from thursday into friday as well as saturday. So as we look at our sevenday forecast our inland areas some of our warmest spots will only be in the 70s by the end of the week and some breezy winds. San francisco staying in the 60s over the next few days. Mike, how is it looking heading out the door right now . Its actually looking better now than half an hour ago, kari.

The sacramento airport. Governor newsom was there, too, as the president down played the role of Climate Change and the extreme weather contributing to the wildfires. The president said without evidence that the warming planet will cool eventually and, quote, the science doesnt know. He focused on Forest Management. But in california nearly 60 of forests are federal land. When you have years of leaves, dried leaves on the ground, it just sets it up as a fuel for a fire. The west is literally on fire.

All new this morning the smoke not just bad for our lungs but maybe bad for wine as well. Today in the bays bob redell joins us live from livermore to explain the growing concerns for winemakers right in the middle of the harvest, bob. Reporter correct. Its called smoke taint and the threat of smoke taint is a real concern for winemakers in napa, sonoma and livermore. We spoke with Steven Mirassou here in livermore. He says if enough smoke gets on his grapes and permeates the skin, the wind can end up, in his word, an acrid, smoky, lick the bottom of the ashtray kind of flavor. Even though the scu fire burned several miles away from his vineyard there was smoke and ash that blew through here. Mirassou is waiting on test results to see if his grapes were affected. The problem is ets laboratories is backlogged with so many requests, mirassou wont get the results in time so will have to harvest his grapes, make his wine and find out three or four years from now whether his grapes suffered from smoke taint. Its like baking a kcake for the queen of england. You bake the cake and you dont know whether it was sal or sugar you put in the cake. We really wont know until the product is finished. Reporter ets laboratories tells us the smoke may be transitory and little if none at all. Ets doesnt think the smoke would affect an entire vintage in any of the wine growing regions.

The president says patriotic for americans to wear masks but we rarely see him or his supporters Wearing Masks. He held a rally indoors in henderson, nevada, despite state rules that said he couldnt. The city of henderson will fine the company that hosted this rally. The two candidates trump and biden have very different thoughts on Climate Change and the fires consuming the west as well. We know he wont listen to the experts or treat this disaster with the urgency it demands. As any president should do during a national emergency. It you just watch. I wish science agreed with you. Ly. President trump has criticized california for mismanaging the forests saying we need to rake more leaves. In august saying, quote, you have to clean your floors. You have to clean your forests.

Were looking at some improvements in parts of the north bay as we take a look at some of these numbers this morning and were down to the yellow colors here from san rafael over to vallejo with those unhealthy air quality numbers registering in San Francisco and parts of the east bay.
