James you talked about a 1000 homes threaten about a 1001 because you can see this home right behind me were off a 29 between saint helene and calistoga and you can see the flames on the hillside and standing right in front of the flames is that how so cal fire. They have a couple of crews there trying to say that home one on top of the hill, one of the bottom of the hill. Embers are everywhere and i got to tell you boots on the ground here. It is smoky here today breathing is more difficult than it was yesterday. So it is getting a lot worse. Let me show you some video and pictures of this entire area you talked about the acreage so many homes up in flames others like you said or threaten i can tell you that at this particular time there are a lot of crews patrolling the area and they see huge flames they were pounce on it. Many structures either destroyed or damaged the flames continue to rip through this area that has seen fire for the past couple of years, how horrible the situatio
That. But we are looking at least a morning that is fairly comfortable 60s and 70s for your current temperatures for most of the region this is already warmer than we were at the same point yesterday and the afternoon will be significantly warmer for san jose oakland and San Francisco it will be 90s while we will be looking at triple digits for much of the rest of the bay, ill tell you about that still ahead back to you robin all right, thank you john checking in on traffic. I have not found any hot spots are off to a really good hecking the drive into San Francisco, heres a live look at 80 wesson, we dont have too much traffic coming in right now so nows your chance get on out there its going to be busy within the next hour or so so the earlier you can roll and the better and we are hot spot free on 80 no problems downtown San Francisco. What about 92 as usual, its our busiest bridge. Its getting a little sluggish air west of the toll plaza, more brake lights leaving hayward but no bi
Yesterday it looked scary. But the air quality wasnt quite so bad because most of the smoke was locked up in that layer above us and we had hada fairly substantial marine layer. L pollutants are coming down to the surface level. Let me show you a graphic level. We have a weak ened marine layer and with calm wind at the surface, remember we showed you that layer cake graphic yesterday . Here it is, the bottom layer is the marine layer and the top layer is smoke. Now the marine layer weakened all and all the matter is am coulding to the surface. You can see on the water vapor image, bringing smoke from the oregon fires and from the Northern California fires down into the bay area. So our air quality has diminished significantly. Heres a look at current conditions. The orange circles poor air quality and the red is dangerous. That is the pattern across the north bay, bay shore hin overlio the south bay. Moderate air quality is in the south bay. That is okay but great. This is our air qual
Spare the air days. This is completely unusual. This is not something usual. I have never experienced anything like this. That was aaron richardson, a spokesperson for the bay area Quality Management district. He went to urge people to stay inside as much as possible when air quality levels reach the very unhealthy level. We talked to some local Hardware Stores who say air purifiers are flying off the shelves. We sold out of them very quickly and have not been able to get any out of the warehouse. We have almost sold out. We have at this location when left. We are expecting more on monday and tuesday. Lets bring in meteorologist mark tamayo with more on the air quality. The question everyone is looking for is if there is any relief in sight from the unhealthy air. We may have to wait a little bit but we were starting to see some changes showing up on the weather map as we head into as early as sunday but a better bet into the early portion of next week for monday, tuesday and into wedn
