Reporter michelle, weve been hearing mary lee talk about it all morning long. The air quality index this morning in the 200s. Some cases in the bay area even into the 300s. Meaning people need to limit their time outside. I can see ash on cars, im not trying to be outside and breathing that air. Reporter some people are saying this is almost a onetwo punch. First businesses had to move outside because of covid. Now with continued bad air with all of that smoke, Health Experts are warning people to stay inside. Its impacting restaurants that are only allowed to serve guests in outdoor seating areas and gyms which for the time being, can only operate outdoors. Health experts say now is not the time to let down your guard. We do encourage you to remain indoors and with your household members. But this is not a reason to gather indoors. I know weve had a lot of guidance about doing anything outdoors when we have good air quality. And now we have this unfortunate situation where we need to be indoors because of air quality. Reporter the bay area is experiencing a record 25 straight spare the air alerts, thats expected to be exterrow. Now big estion that lot people have is will wearing the masks because of covid. Are nose enough to protect me from the matter and all the Health Experts is no. Those cloth masks and surgical masks do not do enough to filter out that dangerous particulate matter so the best advice . Stay inside as much as possible today. Live in San Francisco, Katie Nielsen, kpix 5. To fire watch now. The massive august complex burning in Mendocino County is now officially the largest blaze in california history. It has scorched more than 471,000 acres and roughly the size of Alameda County. It has destroyed 26 structures making it the largest fire by size. But far less destructive than other recent fires.

It dickdictates how many homes the region is required to build. The bay area is now required to build nearly 450,000s over the next eight years. But bay area has failed to pleat the goal in the past. Theres been kind of a cat and mouse game. Where the state says hey, heres a big housing minimum goal. You have to hit this minimum. And cities treat it like a ceiling instead of a floor. Butw e e ared to intervene. If cities dont hit their goals, they will force a community to build without much review at the local level. The final allocation for where homes will be built is due by the end of 2021. Keep sending your stories and ideas to projecthome cbs. Com. And see all of our original reporting on our website.

Some slightly slower speeds than we usually do approaching the Golden Gate Bridge area. You can see here in the Golden Gate Bridge or maybe not so much. It is pretty foggy this morning. Limited visibility there and advisories in effect for the Golden Gate Bridge and headlights are headed southbound across the span into the city. Bay bridge, advisories still in effect here as well. You are looking live at the toll plaza. Metering lights were turned on at about 5 40 this morning. So there is a slight backup here at the toll plaza. Once you are past this portion, you will have a few brake lights near the incline and then looks like slightly better as you work across the upper deck into the city. But again dealing with the limited visibility because of this fog this morning. Also on partof highway 1 along the coast. Some dense fog reported there as well. You have got brake lights the usual stuff for supercommuters headed out of tracy into the altamont pass. We were seeing the delays extending into the Livermore Valley area. Due to a stalled vehicle. Looks like thats in the clearing stages. Your drive times still about 31 minutes to go from 205 over to 680. And chp is working on the accident as you head into the sunol grade. South 680 at andrade road. Traffic is backing up in and around that area along 680. Just a quick headsup here, there are schedule changes coming to b. A. R. T. On monday. They are adding more frequency in the trains and golden gate transit making changes this weekend. Thats a look at the morning drive. Another spare the air alert continues. Heres mary. Atrit gianna, boy, it has been an unbelievable week with our dangerous heat to start off our week. And then we had the orange skies and now the extreme smoke and foggy conditions as well. So a lot to get to this morning. Our air quality compared to ye morning. We are now dealing with unhealthy to hazardous air quality for the bay area. That smoke is just trapped at the surface here in the bay area. So we are looking at the 25th day in a row with our spare the air alert for the bay area. That is a new record for us. So you can see those red and purple dots, maroon dots. Indicating those extremely incredibly smoky skies. Please be safe and stay indoors if you can. So that spare the air alert remains in effect. Likely get extended into tomorrow as well and the reason why, on our smoke model, im not seeing a lot of change for today into tomorrow with our smoke. So heres a live look with our at least our Golden Gate Bridge camera. And you can see that low visibility. So poor air quality, the smoky conditions and foggy conditions as well. So temperatures in the upper 40s to the mid to upper 50s at this hour. So we do have a dense fog advisory until 10 00 a. M. For the areas highlighted in yellow. Thats for the coast and for the San Francisco area. The visibility down to a quarter mile or less. And that is in effect until 10 00 a. M. So were really stuck in this weather pattern for now with that ridge of High Pressure in place. The winds are not that strong at all. And thats why that smoke is just really settling at the surface for today. And for tomorrow. That sea breeze returns as we look to the end of our weekend. So not quite as smoky i think well still have that smoke. But it wont be quite as bad as what were seeing right now. So still dealing with that haze though as we head through sunday and into next week. But as we look to next week, tracking a stronger system. This upper level low that will bring rain to the Pacific Northwest and possibly down through far Northern California. Ill be keeping a close eye on that second weather system for next week. And in the meantime, with those smoky skies, its really inhinting the heat and with it our temperatures cool and below average for this time of year. Low 70s in concord and low 70s the bafrwell as r oaklu expect. Coinuing for tomorrowd en hopefullttle le sme for thenof and into next we back to you. Hopefully. Mary, thank you. It is 6 19.

And in fact, our air quality this morning worse compared to yesterday morning if you dont have to step outside, stay indoors. Because we are looking at unhealthy to hazardous air quality this morning. Were looking at that toxic air that smoke just really trapped at the surface here in the bay area. So looking at the peninsula, down to the south bay, unhealthy to very unhealthy air. Even hazardous air quality. Redwood city and san jose and as well as for the east bay. The trivalley up through concord. You can see the purple dots indicating that very unhealthy air. Even hazardous in spots for oakland as well as for San Francisco at this hour. Up through sausalito. Larkspur and for the north bay up through petaluma and for santa rosa. Because of that we have the spare the air alert, a record 25 days in a row with our spare the air alert for the bay area. So dealing with that heavy smoke and also foggy conditions. Dense fog advisory in effect until 10 00 a. M. Looking at the visibility a quarter mile or less for the areas highlight in the yellow. Thats for San Francisco and as well as for the coast. Well talk about our weekend forecast and if theres any improvement coming up in just a few minutes. But now lets check in with gianna with the smoky and foggy conditions. Hows the commute . You know the commute is getting actually very busy this morning. Weve got fog advisories in effect for the Golden Gate Bridge as well as the bay bridge. But i just got word from chp moments ago about a Traffic Alert. They just issued a sig alert on 680 southbound at andrade road. You have lanes blocked and we are seeing the delays building out of the sunol grade this morning. South 680 right at andrade road. Two lanes blocked and two middle lanes and no word yet when they will reopen. Use 84 at the alternate route instead. A live look at Golden Gate Bridge in the next report. Heres anne. Im anne makovec at the live news desk. And we are going live right now to ground zero in new york city where Memorial Services are underway right now. On this 19th anniverof 9 11. The ceremony ongoing there in Lower Manhattan. You can see live picture there of joe biden who is attending the ceremony today. Hes not going to speak. That is not allowed. No political speeches at the ceremony. The ceremony begin at 5 46 our time. With the moment of silence and they are now reading the names of the almost 3,000 people who died there that day. To the pentagon now. Another ceremony is getting underway including the reading of the names of the 184 people who died there. When flight 77 crashes a moment of silence coming up in about five minutes. 6 36 our time. Thats the moment when the plane hit and the observances there so restricted that not even victims families can attend. Live now to shanksville, pennsylvania. The site where the fourth plan involved in the attack flight 93 went down in a field. You can see they are setting up there and President Trump and joe biden are going to be paying their respects there today. President trump is about to make a speech. And joe biden will be showing up there later on this afternoon. We are going to continue to keep an eye on these memorials and its heavy. You know, brings you back to that day. Michelle . We have never seen this amount of uncontained fire across our state. Wildfires in oregon have forced half a Million People to evacuate their homes. Thats more than 10 of the states population. About 1400 square miles have burned across the state just this week. In southern california, thousands of people hit the road overnight after receiving an evacuation warning. Theyre trying to get away from the bobcat fire which is burning in the Angeles National forest northeast of l. A. 0 containment. Update on the bay areas two largest wildfires east of san jose. The scu lightning complex is now 98 contained. Cal fire says flareups are still happening in brush fields near the fires edge. In the north bay, the lnu lightning complex is now 95 contained. Im Katie Nielsen live in San Francisco where most of the bay area today under a very unhealthy air quality advisory from the air quality index. Now its creating a difficult situation for restaurants and gyms that are forced to operate outside. Its kind of ironic that you know, the city has been saying that its unsafe to work out inside. And therefore, telling us to work out outside. Nowwere outside and we have to contend with like you mentioned the unhealthy air and the heat. Reporter local gyms will be able to start operating indoors in limited capacity on monday in San Francisco. But the smoky air is making things difficult for local restaurants. Right now, they are only allowed to serve guests in outdoor seating areas and the city has not announced any plans to allow Indoor Dining anytime soon. Thats caused we have to try to balance the needs of all the stakeholders. So we do have reservations. And guests do want to still go out to eat. We have to take into account the safety and wellbeing of the employees. And so we really watch the situation on an hour by hour basis. Reporter weve heard mary lee talking about it this morning. Today marks the 25th straight spare the air alert day. A record for the bay area. And that could even be extended again tomorrow. Now everyone right now wearing those covid19 masks. So the big question is, is that enough to protect me from that unhealthy air and unfortunately, Health Experts say the answer is no. Thats because those cloth and surgical masks dont do enough to filter out the particulates if smoke from the air and their advice, stay inside as much as you can. Live in San Francisco, Katie Nielsen, kpix 5. Update on the power shutoffs now. Pg e says they have restored service to essentially all customers who can receive power.

The president defended himself against revelations in the new book by journalist bob woodward. President trump said he didnt lie about the coronavirus and argued he was showing strength not downplaying the dangers. This whack job that wrote the book, he said well, trump knew a little bit. They wanted me to come out and scream people are dying, were dying. No. No. We did it just the right way.

Right, Diane King Hall of cbsmoneywatch. Com. Thank you. The bad air is making Outdoor Dining nearly impossible. Leaving many restaurants already struggling financially with the pandemic unsure where to turn. Southern kitchen in los gatos first opened nearly 30 years ago but this year theyve nearly closed their doors. First, it was too hot for people to dine outside. And now the smoke from the wildfires is driving people away. I feel bad even opening. It feels selfish to me like hey, come sit in the horrible air so i could survive. We used every penny we had. I mean seriously, every cent we have. After an employees home burned down in the czu wildfire the restaurant offered to feed firefighters and evacuees of the fires a free hot meal. Donations poured in which helped him pay the bills. But with the smoke from the fires again, hes now back to c roads with gianna. Good morning. Good morning. And it is certainly a busy morning out there this morning. We are getting word from chp of a serious accident here, they issued a Traffic Alert southbound 680 right at andrade road. Taking 680 through the sunol grade area traffic is really backing up through the area. Use 84 or even 580 over to 880 depending on where you are going. The crash was caused by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. Some injuries reported in the accident as well. Southbound 680 from 580 down to about 237. Thats a 56 minute drive time. So a very slow and go commute there. Chose two middle lanes are blocked south 880 at andrade. Now remember if you plan on taking 580 and you are coming out of the tracy area into the altamont pass, traffic is sluggish through there for the morning ride for the supercommuters heading into the Livermore Valley. 30 minute drive time 205 over to 680. Not a lot of brake lights on the eastshore freeway. Things are actually okay at the limit there but theres a crash near university. Golden gate bridge looking slightly better. Still a fog advisory in effect for parts of the Golden Gate Bridge and parts of marin county along the 101 commute. Traffic though starting to see some improvement here actually seeing the bridge. We warrant seeing it much this morning. It was covered by all this dense fog. And of course the smoky conditions. That were dealing with throughout the bay the morning. Bay bridge, the metering lights are on. But its friday light for this portion of the commute heading into San Francisco. But again, there is that trouble spot westbound 80 right at university avenue. The good news is its over to the shoulder and not blocking any lanes. And there are changes coming to b. A. R. T. And golden gate transit this start this weekend and e endon monday. Another day of poor air quality. Heres mary. Thats right gianna. Yeah, i wish i had some better news for you. But we are dealing with extremely smoky conditions this morning. We have unhealthy to even hazardous air quality conditions as we start off our day with that heavy smoke for the bay area. You can see those red and purple even maroon dots indicating that unhealthy to hazardous air quality as we start off our day. So dealing with that extreme smoke, our air quality is much worse compared to yesterday morning. Please be safe if you dont have to be outside, stay indoors for to thsm thatextreme apat the surfe spare the air alert going a record 25 days in a row with a spare the air alert for the bay area. That spare the air alert likely extended into tomorrow as well because im not seeing a lot of change. This is our smoke model and you can still see that smoke as we head through today into tomorrow. This is a big concern for us. As were going to so many different days with this smoke. Now with all of that smoke, we also have foggy conditions as well. Heres that live look with our Golden Gate Bridge camera. Oour temperatures upper 40s to near 50s to start off the day. The Poor Visibility we have a dense fog advisory in for the areas highlighted in yellow and thats until 10 00 a. M. The visibility a quarter mile or less. Lets check current viability. So looking at near zero Half Moon Bay and petaluma and a quarter mile in santa rosa and about a mile and a half for oakland as well as for hayward and for livermore at this hour. So were really stuck in that weather pattern as we head through today and into tomorrow. Now by the end of the weekend, im tracking this low pressure system that will bring the return of our sea breeze. So not quite as smoky. Now i still they will hazy and smoky skies just not quite as bad as what we have for today and as we look to next week, im tracking our second weather system. And this upper level low will bring rain to the Pacific Northwest and possibly down through far Northern California bringing the rain. Im keeping a very close eye on this for you. Really need a big weather pattern shift just to get the smoke kind of out of here and to have been you get the wildfires under col completely out. But because of all of this smoke, we have cool and below average temperatures. Low 70s in santa clara and san jose and upper 60s for campbell and morgan hill. For the south bay. For the east bay, low 70s concord and pleasant hill. Walnut creek. Upper 60s to low 70s for the trivalley. A big difference compared to the dangerous heat that we had earlier in the week. Over the holiday weekend. Were looking at below average temperatures around the bay. Mid 60s in San Francisco and for oakland. And looking at upper 60s to low 70s for the north bay. 70 for petaluma and are show that looking at 70 for windsor. Heres that extended forecast and what you can expect. As were looking at smoky skies continuing for tomorrow. Maybe hopefully a little less smoke for sunday into next week. Back to you. Im anne makovec at the live news desk.

All right, thanks katie and please be safe because were dealing with that extreme and heavy smoke this morning. It is much worse compared to yesterday morning. Were dealing with very unhealthy air to hazardous air quality conditions this morning. Also because of the smoke and foggy conditions, we have a dense fog advisory in effect for the coast and for the San Francisco area until 10 00 a. M. Due to the visibility a quarter mile or less. Now because of that smoke daytime highs cool and below average for this time of year. Upper 60s to low 70s inland. Around the bay, mid 60s and low 60s for the coast. So a spare the air alert in effect today. Going a record 25 days in a row. That spare the air alert likely extended into tomorrow because of this smoke. Maybe a little less smoke hopefully so sunday into next week. But friends my advice, definitely stay indoors for today. Back to you.
