The inland heat continues. Temperatures well into the 90s for most inland parts of the state, if not above 100 degrees, so that is going to put more stress on the statewide power grid. Our temperatures arent going to be nearly this level. The hottest spots around the Bay Area, farther inland in the East Bay only reaching the upper half of the 80s around Antioch And Brent wood. Most temperatures going to be in the 70s Inland by temperatures around the bay in the 50s and 60s yet again tomorrow. A closer look at tomorrows high temperatures around the area and how long this pattern is going to last coming up in just a few minutes. A 4000 Acre Fire forcing evacuations near yosemite national park. Just 5 contained at this hour. One couple shared their video of the River Fire that was racing toward their home as they tried in vain to fight back with a garden hose. Ashes were falling just everywhere, and he was still whipping at the flames getting close to the house, 20 feet from the house, an
Yes, they have felt it, across the Bay Area. Even in San Francisco. That gives you an idea of the magnitude of this quake being 5. 9. Its interesting. If you look at the times, it appears farmington registered about 30 seconds after Smith Valley. If you look at the distance and the travel, that makes sense. A lot of people reported simultaneous earthquakes, very close to each other. The one east of stockton, 4. 9. And then the 5. 9 registering in Smith Valley. We did feel it in the Bay Area and you are seeing reports if you pull up the Shake Map. You will see where folks are reporting hearing it. A lot of folks in the Bay Area, east bay, south bay, northbay feeling it. Since those locations are quite rural, our hope is that because, hopefully not a lot of tall buildings, hopefully there wont be a lot of damage. Even though 5. 9 can certainly cause a lot of disruption like we saw in napa. That was a 5. 0, but we have old buildings there, brick buildings, downtown. So we are waiting to s
Thank you, john. Well, our Bay Area bridges have been excellent however, other places, not so much. We have a Sig Alert that was issued here in dublin and lanes are still blocked from this multi Vehicle Accident that happened about an hour ago. It involved a big rig. So just a heads up. If youre out there, you can see the red thats some heavy traffic. Lot of cars piling up and that area asked for. To 80 northbound in San Francisco near the mariposa street. Exit. There was another Vehicle Collision in the Sig Alert was issued as well for that. We do still have some lanes blocked out there. But as you can see here looking much different than a normal workday. When we see way more cars out there seems a lot of people are still sleeping from the weekend. The san mateo bridge is looking excellent in both directions. We havent seen any problems all morning. Its only 13 minutes out to one o one. If youre heading in that direction and the 4 here from antioch to concord under 15 minutes for tri
Visitors are back, so you worry about people in a large group particularly indoors, who you are not really sure about if you dont know that they are vaccinated if you are not vaccinated including kids. And also in kids go to visit grandparents, if the grandparents are in your compromised, or have some sort of condition where they may not have been responding to the vaccine, you may want to be safer with the kids visiting and masks but again it depends on a Casebycase Basis and small is generally better than large. With the Positivity Rate hovering right around 1 1 2 now, do you think we will see a surge of cases following this Holiday Weekend . We are definitely going to see an uptick in cases. The question is by hopefully, a weather in much of the Bay Area, not rest of the bay, people will be more outdoors, even if you are not vaccinated, after gatherings are generally going to be fine, given the low levels of virus right now. In two weeks after july 4, if we will see an uptick in cas
Decisions. For example, if not vaccinated. Covid is still a real threat to ones health. The people who really should be worried you should be staying up at night being very concerned about this. Doctor John Swartzberg with U C Berkeley school of public health says what is increasingly concerning for health officials currently. Is the increasingly more contagious. Delta variant. So he breaks it down for us. Are people who have only received one of their 2 jabs. And about 10 of the people in the United States have only got one of pfizer when they really need to. So if youve only had one please get your second one soon as its ready. And then there is this for those with children. Second group that really should be concerned are people who havent had any vaccine. You know, that means everybody less than 12 years of age. But it also means people over 12 years of age who still havent chose get vaccinated. Those are the people that are going to get infected with the Delta Virus got a variant.
