This is a 30 pm right before your display in San Francisco. Were Still Holding at 2 miles for visibility. This is good news. It doesnt mean that the displays going to be blocked out by the fog could just be a little bit misty looking as you do take it in by the time we work into the finish of your displays you start to see visibility really falling now other areas though like concord jose Mountain View sausalito those other areas that have fireworks tonight actually looking really clear for him so we have good news. Im not the best and it is like in San Francisco where we do have an impact of fog tonight for your fireworks but its july its 4th of july we often do see a bit of fog during your fireworks and its not going to be enough to block out the view entirely as for other cities that are looking at fireworks displays like sausalitoike a san jose we are going to be seeing abundantly clear skies and some really good conditions to getting out there just dont forget your jacket says youre doing so as temperatures will be falling into the 50s and 60s across the bay by 09 00pm tonight.

John we can definitely tell its a holiday because track. Topic has been light. All morning in fact if youre heading into San Francisco in taking the bay bridge look at this very few cars out on the road and you can tell its not a normal work day there were looking at 8 minute drive from the maze to fremont street and the Richmond Sandra fell bridge looking very smooth air 7 minute drive from the toll plaza. The highway one oh one so heres a look at some of our other drive times around the bay area from interstate 5. 80 fear heading from livermore to dublin, its looking like its just going to take you 10 minutes a smooth commute. Traffic light everywhere and if youre going to see the 4th of July Fireworks show around the bay area in San Francisco, a bart actually doesnt open until 08 00am theyre running on a sunday schedule, same thing goes for cow train and a sexually has no Train Service today and tomorrow. Daria. The Fireworks Show is the big story today of course for the 4th of july there will be Fireworks Shows all around the bay and we start our Team Coverage this morning with kron 4 Sarah Stinson who is in San Francisco, celebrating with a little red white and blue on her head, hi sarah. Represent america. Well, im seeing a lot of people wearing red white and blue people already do getting into the spirit of it all but this is one of the biggest Fireworks Shows across the bay area, San Francisco is always the tories for being big beautiful and always some kind of surprise at the end and tonight is going to be no different thousands of people come out here from all over the place and pretty soon i mean later into the day is still very early and pretty soon this is going to be packed. But we caught up with the people who make it all happen behind the scenes, the people on the cruise who made. You can see them in the video putting it all together showing us how it works on the barge. This happened on care 50 which is quite a while could quite a ways from where im sitting here pier 39. And then they take the barge out getting all set up in the perfect spot. So when the fire. The sky is full of red white and blue all sorts of colors too. Thousands of people are going to be all over but the best policy to go to him and theres many different vantage points. But the best spots are probably going to be aquatic park, theres tons of grassy areas you can sit down talk downing have a good time with your friends, your family and then have a water front of you all of the show and then a lot of people will be here pier 39 thats because there are some obvious attractions that are here all the round and then something new activities for the 4th of july plus an some live music thats going to be happening from 3 to 6 oclock. Now we spoke with one of the head engine ears works on these fireworks just to get an idea of how much work it takes to put this on every year take a listen. Theres a lot involved in setting up a Fireworks Show this is going to be 25 or 20 minute firework show. But its 2 days of to set it up were those 20 minutes. Thats crazy to believe that just like that many days for just a 20 to 25 minute show. It takes a lot of work but its going to be all worthwhile and its up in the sky obviously everyones primary concern and why they are probably tuning in right now is because people are wondering. If the fog is going to impact our view and don saying you know in San Francisco, its not going to be too bad, but its going to be pretty typical so i think if youre on the waterfront youre going to see the fireworks are going to feel a fireworks comey whole experience show starts at 00 30pm tonight. And i hope everyone has a great 4th of july ill send it back to you darya hour. Thanks a lot sarah. Crowds and Everything Else you could just sit and watch all the best of the best shows around the bay from your kron 4 has a special the only live local Fireworks Show in the bay area and we have that on channel 4 at 9 oclock and we bring you the fireworks from all around the bay so it is a little cloudy in San Francisco or foggy you can see the other shows that are happening in the east bay and in the north and the south bay as well.

At so if youre not going to be home. Make sure that your pets feel comfortable and that theyre you know protected btcause sometimes that can take off and get crazy when they hear all that loud noise and another problem in the east bay, theyre focused on fireworks that are illegal theyre banned in contra costa county. Officials with the east contra costa Fire Protection district are going to Great Lengths to make sure that Everybody Knows that they are not able to use fireworks there they want to remind everybody that all of the fireworks in that county. Any kind of fireworks that you buy are illegal. Even the ones they call safe and so if you get in from another county and you bring him and theyre illegal. If caught the fine is 500 or even more. And all across the nation everybody is taking precautions to make for a shea say 4th of july for everyone karen k s a takes a closer look at whats happening. National level federal agencies say no specific Credible Threats against the holiday but Law Enforcement will remain vigilant whether its at the major celebrations like here in new york or down in d c or one of the smaller celebrations taking place across the country today. Independence Day Celebrations set across the country and aaa forecasts nearly 49 million americans making a getaway to celebrate we see unemployment is low americans have additional disposable income so theyre taking that additional money and putting it towards a trip with friends and family this year. In washington President Trump will deliver a speech at the Lincoln Memorial in addition to the traditional fireworks over the national mall. And for the massive fireworks display here in new york, prime viewing spots will be under the eye of the n y p d with patrols in the air and on the waterways road Safety Measures will include bag checks and thousands of officers on duty. This is what the n y p d does and we have so many large events during the year where will be ready and when he climbed down its going to be a great show.

Thanks for staying with us and you know when we come back were going to tell you burglarize what theyre doing in the south bay now theyre using new technology to break into your car. Plus the search for a man who police say at 10 woman on the peninsula. Well have that story in a better look at the Surveillance Video. We are keeping a close eye on that fog across the bay, especially tonight as those firewoiks begin to kick off. First we have christina and morocco this morning, shes talking about this display that kicks off at 09 30pm will be in the 50s up are august oh thaphenomenal , thats unfair. Thats so unfair. Cmon jaybo. Lets go. Lets go. Woahh try my 4. 99 bbq bacon double cheeseburger combo. Only at jack in the box. Try my 4. 99 barbeque bacon double cheeseburger combo. This is how driving should feel. The techadvanced nissan leaf. The best selling electric vehicle of all time. This is nissan intelligent mobility. And were looking at the forecast you kind of forecasted this for today with the fog in San Francisco. Yeah i do want to i had to be at. Yeah little less foggy this morning but its kind of like when your grill and a burger youve got that nice burger in the middle thats going to the middle of our day to day with the stretching to compare things to fear this morning. So easy for you vote uh huh. All right but this morning and then tonight were sandwiched between 2 foggy were sandwiched oh, yeah. I like the San Francisco sandwich race actually hour. At the start of the day with some fog where the finished the day with some fog to but dole expected to be foggy all day long we actually do have quite a lot of sunshine to look for too. Right there in the middle of your day today which is going make for some nice grilling weather later on. You do see a much different view of San Francisco this morning though that weve had the past couple of mornings now for san jose youre looking at sunshine, a really nice start to the morning and its going to stay nice and clear we have a couple of fireworks displays in the south bay such as in san jose in Mountain View too. You guys are going to graze going to be Crystal Clear out there for both of those as for the east bay skies are looking long. Theyre looking clear over berkeley, you also have the fireworks displays on the east bay such as in berkeley this evening, which will be impacted by some fog beginning to push its way through by the time we work into that display tonight not going to ruin it, but is going make for a misty look to your fireworks this evening as for conditions out there right now it is nice and clear for the east bay and south bay, but this still certainly that fog you saw there cams a little closer to the coast. High pressure is about to be Building Back in so were in for a weekend warmup in fact, todays temperatures are already gonna feel a little bit warmer than they have the past couple of days. Its only a couple degrees warmer so were still going to be pretty muchhe same but were working our way and that warmer direction. Fog is going to be persistent up the coast today while plenty of sunshine will be seen for most of the bay into the afternoon. So good grilling day ahead of us fog streams back into night right around the time of getting outside for those fireworks. So just plan on that the closer you get to your displays the better review is going to be then we move into tomorrow morning. The densest a fog will settle in around 04 00am to 07 00am tomorrow morning so at least were not seeing the densest fog during the evening tonight, rather it will be tomorrow to start the day on your friday. Before skies clear out into your friday afternoon. Temperatures today, those will be in the 60s for San Francisco. Again this isnt a far cry from where we have been even with the fog temperatures are holding in the 60s up and down the coast. So we have that Half Moon Bay, a 4th of july parade today 64 is not a bad day to be celebrating now 60s and 70s from brisbane down to burlingame as well some 70s mixed in with some 80s further south on the peninsula. It will be mostly the 80s in the south bay with san jose 81 degrees. Really good grilling and cool weather Pleasanton Livermore and dublin low 80s for you and low 70s for oakland and richmond. Well mideighties for danville walnut creek in concord our closest spots to 90 will be pittsburgh in vacaville but not hitting 90 just yet you can expected tomorrow into saturday for both of those cities 60s in Stinson Beach and point rays. Heres your next 7 days. I alluded to warm up in the days to come to see that friday and saturday followed by a cooldown to start next week. And then another warm up on the other side of this forecast come wednesday and the close of next week. Thats a look at your weather for the 4th of course not a lot of people on the roads air cuts been looking pretty nice out there. Yeah, youre right about that you can definitely tell that it is a holiday and not a normal workday look at. Its look at how empty it is here if youre heading to the north bay taking the Richmond Sandra fell bridge.
