through tomorrow. bill martin is here with a look at the conditions. they really are bad out there, bill. >> it really is. and, you know, it's bad for a day or two, but what is really the problem here is its duration. this is lasting a long time, and each day, some days are better than others, but like in the north bay today, suit so good. san jose today not so good. it's a cumulative buildup of this stuff in your lungs, and just it wears you down a little bit, and especially folks who have respiratory issues, and asthma. it really is, it's not fun for them at all, and the rest of us notice it, and we may not have any problems, but if you have any kind of a predisposition, it can really cause problems. so i apologize for all of the folks that are suffering right now, it's going to be another smoky day tomorrow. especially in the north bay. north bay 150. these numbers, we were up in the 150 range at the height of this thing, so the fires are slowly coming down in smoke production,

the smoke up in here. you can see it by the red. see the red in here, and that orange? when you get a lot of particulate in the air and the sun hits it, you get this -- it bends it, all of the suns rays and the orange or yellow spectrum. that's how you know there's there's a lot of junk in the air. that's why on nights like this, out often get these incredible sunsets. it's ironic, right? bucket not good for you, but smoky nights some of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see outside of the tropics. 14 mile an hour wind in napa. you can see we're going from different direction. one of the problems we're having is we have a fire up here. every once in a while, the fire clicks out of the north, and then the winds kind of -- throughout the day, you'll get these directions, and all of these directions, except due west is carrying some smoke in our area. so that's why we're continuing on in this spare the air alert. 10 mile an hour wind in livermore. 13 in san jose. smoky again tomorrow. temperatures? they're going to warm up a little bit week, but it's not big high red flag warning fire danger. it will come up from the weekend, but not a bad little week for firefighters.

all over the map. some southwest, some northwest. the san francisco airport right there, this a northwest wind, harris is a northwest wind. that would be bringing smoke in from the napa fires, the point reyes area. so the story this week is going to be high pressure a slow build in, a low warmup. not a big red flag warning nasty heat event, but just a warmup. and by the weekend, temperatures will be mid-90s, upper 90s, maybe kind of saturday/sunday. site not a huge red going to heat up as we get into early september here, whh now. that's in green. you can see where all of the air is flowing onshore. that will keep us cool tonight. running five degrees cool per concord right now, compared to last night. there's that fog footprint for tomorrow morning. and it's pretty much in all
