i'm hoping the 2 will work better in fact air quality was worsen thursday because a layer of fog that kept the smoke aloft wednesday. >>had dissipated we've lost or inversion protection and we're getting a lot more mixing enforcing that means that all that smoke that's been aloft is mixing down and it's affecting portions of the bay area where we're seeing some unhealthy for sensitive groups

meteorologist lawrence karnow tracking the conditions. bringing us some details things should be clearing up a little bit not overnight and then overnight tonight it's going to get worst winds calm down things settle in near the surface. and there you go we're looking at some very very poor air quality and healthy around a good part of the bay area and boy you see the smoke out there right now as we look toward sfo down below light you see the smoke out there nick lee we've actually got less smoke in the atmosphere today that's why it wasn't orange start to see some of the smoke in the higher levels begin to shift eastward. but down below some of the smoke makes him down to the surface and that's why the poor air quality out there right now also going on this is smoke, this is fog that is making its way in across the golden gate bridge we're seeing some dense fog. so that's kind of nice the only downside of that if you live near the coastline. you get some of the moisture from you get some of ash coming down to get that nice little ash cement forming on your car overnight. all right let's talk air quality and certainly bad in parts of the bay area right now very bad into san francisco all the way down into san mateo for the south near mountain view fremont hayward oakland you're all in that zone where some very poor air quality is settling in now also in the north bay up toward napa into fairfield and the air quality is bad just about everywhere you go around the bay area now even read this is a very bad air quality as well that continues, but things likely to shift a little bit tomorrow going to see a sea breeze and and but we're going to see incremental changes we've got so much smoke a built up in the atmosphere now it's just hard to move it out so by tomorrow afternoon still poor air quality but you're looking at the orange here that's not as bad as it's been i suspect you can see pockets of very poor quality, but the winds likely to continue maybe about 3 to about 10 maybe 12 miles per hour. that's really not enough to move out all the smoke would like to see some 20 mile an hour plus winds begin to move out some of the smoke around the bay are of course a nice rain storm certainly help. now all the smoke are really making its way down from fires outside of the bay area that coming down from their fire. the august complex that offshore wind carried all that smoke in our direction bringing that smoke all the way down the middle of civic 2 things of switch gears, though here's the good news. finally cutting off of the source of that smoke that is pushing now eastward all that smoke already in place, so it's going to take some time to move out the smoke in fact expecting that smoke to stick around right now, but you see the atmosphere there you go more of a westerly component of the wind that tends to drive that smoke out of the bay area so it will start to improve ever so slowly. but we need a significant win to do we're not getting that just yet but that pretty light 6 miles an hour in the san francisco. that's where we're seeing some of that dense fog comes to the golden gate bridge and very light winds even calm winds around the bay area is going to be a long night with some very dangerous smoke outside. all right lawrence wish the news was better, but alas take a look now at the major wildfires burning

on cal fire incidents, but you know the other agencies as well they're working on the roads and they ask you to slow down just please do so so that everybody can go home safely and no everybody works to support that. they're also saying that there are still hazards out trees, especially in a wooded areas. >>that are in danger of falling and there is also something that they say could happen around the roots of the bigger trees. they call them ash pits and say that if you know people could fall into these ash pits because down below its where the fire is still burning. in the root system of

making the list what used to be a rare event is now commonplace california has already seen a record 3900 square miles burned and the traditional peak of fire season is still ahead over 3.1 million acres have burned in california since january first that beat our record 2018 we thought we had beat it then it was a one 0.9 million acres so we have surpassed that. >>i well over a million acres and we still have 4 more months in the year to go every year calfire collects data on wildfires creating 3 top 20 lists, the largest wildfires in the states. the most destructive and the deadliest some of the most recent fires to make it on those lists are the lnu lightning complex fires burning in the north the czu august lightning complex fires in santa cruz and san mateo counties and the creek fire in fresno and madera counties most devastating wildfires are those that claim lives having burned more than 350,000 acres of the lnu lightning complex fires are now one of the top 20 deadliest fires in california history, california's wildfire season is being fueled by years of drought and rising temperatures. experts say that's resulting in unpredictable fire behavior. they haven't seen before you know on average we're seeing our fire have become 75 days longer than they just several decades ago and so these longer periods of fire season allow for larger fires to burn and that's why we continue to hit the record books experts say climate change is fueling this new norm and the most concerning development is these fast-moving wildfires leave less time for warnings or evacuations,
