Much he is. To the south bay we go. More of the same. This is video shot this afternoon in san jose. It looked like heavy winter fog. But this is just more smoke wafting into the bay area. And this is the problem. Take a look at the satellite images from the National Oceanic and atmospheric administration, noaa. Well have more on the fires in just a moment. First lets head straight to Spencer Christian for a look at conditions and why today looks so different. The sky looked eerier yesterday. Take a look at the water vapor satellite image. You can see smoke not only moving through but the circulation to our north is pulling smoke from the oregon fires. Well show you how it is pulling directly down. Yesterday the smoke was locked above us in a higher level of the atmosphere. Today it is right down at the surface level. Mixing in, making our air dirtier and posing a greater threat to our health. As you can see, it is indicating poor to very poor air quality. The central part of the bay a

Windy out here. With daylight you can see exactly how far this fire spreads. The concern was it started on the eastbound side of 580 and then jumped both directions of the interstate 580 onto the northbound side. Traffic is still backed up. This all started from an accident at around midnight last night and the big rig or pickup truck, were still trying to confirm which one it was, whether it was a big rig or a pickup truck. The chp saying it hit the Center Divide and caused a fire. That fire spread to the other side of the freeway. At one point riding in the wrong direction because they were trying to get away from flames. Fortunately the firefighters were able to put the flames out. The fire spread to about 100 acres but now it is completely out in all directions. Both directions are open. Back here live, the traffic westbound is still backed up. I was sitting in the traffic eastbound. At 3 45 they opened up the lanes so eastbound is flowing smoothly. Back to you. Thank you, sharon.

And this gathered momentum on social media and it was widespread i even saw on social media, they said show up protests dont create any destruction and for the most part that was pretty much what happened from oakland tech they marched down to the Oakland Police department through the streets and they were followed by Police Officers.
Rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds. There were some arrests that were made as well, we know one officer was injured. Thats a police say since these protests are expected to continue the Contra Costa County board of supervisors. Well decide this morning of a countywide curfew is needed for now the sheriff had just been recommending county residents to stay at home.
