Attorney and everybody high Vicki Liviakis and im grant lotus certainly surreal lot of people saying these ominous skies were in a way stunning yet certainly. Unsettling to wake up to hard to know what time it was all day long want to check in first with our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow. Obviously everyones wondering lawrence is going to happen again tomorrow. Yeah i think well start to see some improvement tomorrow were not going to see asked smoky conditions around the bay area but certainly. Theyll still be some smoke out there we had those north northeasterly winds remember were talking about the high fire danger yesterday, were worried about the real gusty winds. Well, those winds didnt cause or sparking fires around the bay area but we did have a fires that were already burning in far Northern California up you county near paradise they another fire burning there the bear fire lot of smoke filtering i
Through the day. We have seen more favorable yesterday and we flew the weather during the Early Morning hours as we look at the three aircraft the maximum we could main fire zones right now. Fly as far as the hours we could put on in a day per regulations. The scu lightning complex is moving through the diablo range, we did that and i anticipate parts of the south bay as well. Today we will meet the same temperatures are in the upper criteria and maybe even exceed the water drop. 50s right now heading into the upper 80s in those areas and then we go to the lnu lightning theyre ready to meet the complex fires that are now in challenge to help our ground resources.

I am tracking that onshore flow. That sea breeze is kicking in a we are tracking that fog around the bay and through the afternoon, we have that sea breeze kicking in and it could mix out the smoke a little bit. But still we are talking about hazy or smoky skies with unhealthy air quality. Here is the current airquality condition. It is unhealthy for parts of the north and the peninsula and the south bay and the east bay. We are still looking at that spare the air alert that remains in effect today and likely for tomorrow as well due to this unhealthy air. Lets check out the temperatures because were looking at daytime highs around where we should be if not a little bit above average. Topping out in the low 90s for concord and livermore, mid 80s in san jose, low to mid 70s around the bay. Low 70s in San Francisco, mid 70s in oakland and upper 60s for pacifica. And we will let you know what you can expect through the week coming up. Firefighters will have a briefing as they go out to fi
The air and from the freeway you can see the flames. We are at cherry glen and Pleasant Valley road and chp blocking that intersection only letting law enforcement, First Responders in to try to prohibit that traffic to do their job. For hours folks have been working to evacuate, preparing to evacuate from this fire. Earlier you heard from one of our own discussing how stressful it is. He said he could see the flames from his home and began taking photos of the belongings, photos of the home in case to document the damage. Good advice in this vacaville area. May be best to prepare or get a plan together to leave. When we were here we were actually parked next to a car of a gentleman and his dog. They left their home seeking higher ground. Take a listen to what some of these folks are going through as they prepare to leave this area. Been through fires before. Ive never evacuated before but why this time . Because it was it was coming hard and coming fast and winds were probably about 4
Mountain and this is what has been vacaville and it was bring to the northwest and so its closing in pretty quickly. Thats why people are quickly having to flee their homes covers will tran is there this morning and will we moved to vacaville because things change so fast. Whats going on right now. Well right now im off a highway 80 off a cheery glenn exit and you can see over my Left Shoulder jeans and yuri of the fire along the ridgeline these people these poor people have been up all night watching the fire get closer and closer to their homes and then. Just a short time ago they got the knock at the door from the Sheriffs Department take get out. This is obviously a very busy street as far as people hopping on to highway 80 instead it has turned into a parking lot with a lot of evacuees at this location just pulled over sitting in the back of the pickup truck. Just helplessly watching the fire get closer and closer to their homes. This whole area jeans and area. It is just glowing
