Im going to start out with the good news first and then im going to show you the not great news for tomorrow. Heres the good news. This is the latest forecast that shows you how the smoke is going to behave over the next 12 hours. Really this gets us from now through noon. You know the drill on this one by now. The deeper the shades of red, the higher the concentration of smoke. Looks whats happening here between now and noon. Were starting it over here now. And were advancing it. You can see how the bulk of the smoke is going to get pushed off to the east. Something else youre probably becoming familiar with now. This is only showing you the smoke through the upper levels of the atmosphere where most of it is. The stuff down here on the ground is going lr an thi tout. Youot starthere over nex 12rs were going to start pushing some of this smoke off to the east and thats good news. Let me get to the not so good news. Weve got to take a look at where the air quality stands now. Ill go back to our image that shows us the air quality index. That 150 in red, thats the unhealthy. Thats the view from our roof looking at the bay bridge. All these reporting stations are still red. Were still unhealthy. And for tomorrow thats the forecast. This was the good news juliette was talking about. From monday into tuesday were going to go from the red unhealthy to the yellow moderate. None of the smoke forecasts are an absolute guarantee. However, the best information we have to go on is positive for much of this coming week. Ill talk to you about why and how long it might last coming up in my forecast. Tonight a major step toward reopening. In just a few hours, more businesses will be opening their doors tomorrow in San Francisco. Kpix 5s betty yu on the services youll finally be able to get indoors. Thats right. Many of these businesses offer personal services such as hair salons and nail salons and most of these presentations have been completely shut down since march.

Reporter for the first time in nearly six months, San Francisco hotels will be fully opened for business. Hotel zeta in union square says its ready to once again welcome tourists. For those first time travelers, theres a lot of nervousness and tenseness for people who do arrive. When you come to zetia, and i can show many of the other hotels in the city, when you walk in, youll see things like social distancing. Reporter the hotel has increased its cleaning protocols. The reality is, as doors open tomorrow, theres not going to be this sudden wave of people coming into San Francisco. This is going to be a very slow buildup. Reporter it will be a slow buildup across Many Industries that have been given the green light. Gyms and Fitness Studios will be allowed to open indoors at 10 capacity. Im very excited that were moving toward reopening and 10 is a start. Financially, i cant make it work. And id have to start paying rent.

A bizarre and dangerous chain of events unfolded along the northern end of that span earlier today. There was a car crash that ended in a Hazmat Team Response and that sent five officers and a tow truck driver to the hospital. Reporter First Responders rushed to the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza shortly before noon after reports of a gray lexus sedan going northbound swerving and colliding into the median barrier. They found the driver unconscious and moved the car to the next off ramp. Thats when the first chp officer started convulsing. Very quickly the symptoms escalated. He went down to the ground. We were told he began vomiting and convulsing. Pretty large exposure. Things are back to normal but the onramp and off ramp at alexander avenue shut down for most of the afternoon because of the substance that hazmat crews were dealing with. We deemed it a hazmat scene and crime scene. A little goes a long way with fentanyl. Thats why its so incredibly dangerous for any First Responder who has to deal with it. Reporter three more responding chp officers and others including a tow truck driver also started feeling ill. Theyre going to continue to be monitored but were happy theyre back with us and appear to be recovering. Reporter seven total had to be transferred to the hospital, including the suspect. 32yearold John Parkinson shaw jr. Of green bay.

Authorities say their conditions are improving tonight. But that gunman still onhe get t to p w have a society that actually somebody feels like they have a need to come out and start now trying to victimize law enforcement, that should be a big wakeup call for society. At one point, protesters gathered outside the hospital chanting against the police that were there and the ones that were shot.

A whole different ball game for the 49ers today. Bad air quality and an empty stayed stadium for the home opener. Joe bidens Campaign Getting a major boost a live look now at sfo tonight where United Airlines says it flies the friendly skies with a diverse crew. But a new lawsuit claims the Flight Attendants who are picked for high profile charter flights are picked for the wrong reasons. Joe vazquez reports the suit claims the attendants are uniformly white, blonde, and young. Reporter kim is African American and has worked at United Airlines for 28 years. It was dehumanizing. Demoralizing. Reporter Sharon Tesler is jewish. She has 34 years with the company. Both say they were repeatedly denied plum assignments on nfl and Major League Baseball charter flights because the women were told they were not on the socalled preferred list. So they did a little digging and found the list. What i noticed was every time a new Flight Attendant was added to the crew, that they all looked like sisters. They were all white, female, and blondes. There were two times i didnt get it but i looked to see who got it. It was a blonde haired, blue eyed woman. Some people get on it with no experience. Reporter the lawsuit alleging employment discrimination was filed thursday in san mateo county. The women are asking for monetary damages. You cant change who you are. They cant become white with blue eyes and blonde hair and be 25 years old. And all these men sitting in a room decided who are going to be their Flight Attendants on these charters. I think its absolutely despicable and were going to prove that it is based on race and geer rr line said in a statement, quote, United Airlines is proud of our track record on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Flight attendant eligibility to work a charter flight is based solely on performance and attendance and has nothing to do with age, race, or gender. Joe vazquez, kpix 5. On the subject of the nfl, the air quality held just below the threshold the 49ers needed to kick off their season in santa clara. Game would have been postponed if the air quality index hit 200 or higher. It did not. On top of the smoke, the pandemic is also making the season look drastically different of course. On a normal game day, levis stadium packed with cars and tailgaters and people inside the stadium. But it saturday empty today. More than two weeks ago the 9ers opted to play its Season Opener without fans to comply with covid safety guidelines. Its different. Its weird. Drove by the stadium today. Nothing but smoke. It would have been nice to be able to go to a game this year but we all got to be safe. We all got to be smart about whats going on. uthe 9ers didnt win in the Season Opener.

Kpix 5 is helping you vote smart this november. Well be putting voter resources and information on kpix. Com and on the kpix 5 app. In the forecast, im going to start out with something to look forward to. I showed this at the top of the newscast. But i want to just review once again the forecast for air quality this week. First of all, weve got to talk about tomorrow. Its still bad. All those red dots in a row there on monday. Tell you that tomorrows air quality is likely going to be just as bad as today. But then things get noticeably better for tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and maybe even friday of next week. I want to show you why that is and when that may come to an end. Take a look out in the pacific. Weve been pointing this out for the last several days. That mass of clouds out there is part of a system. Theres some rain out there. Theres going to be a good amount of rain with that coming into oregon and washington. Were not going to get much if any of this. But its a significant rain maker for oregon. To aospheric river of the season. Here we are in the middle of september. Weve already got an atmospheric river. Thats a good sign. As thats coming onshore, look what the winds are doing. The low driving all of it. Theres the moisture getting pulled in. Along the stronger winds. Thats how were going to clear the smoke out. This is different than what the last three weeks have looked like. Weve not had a significant area of low pressure like this come in and break up this static area of still stagnant air. It finally happens on tuesday. Thats what it will look like. It will look much prettier in the air once we get there. Its impossible to say how much of the smoke were going to get rid of but we will get rid of a lot of it. We may get it down to moderate. Look at all the rain theyre going to get in oregon. Good news for them. Theyve been inundated with their own share of devastating wildfires. Were not going to get much of the rain out of it, not from that system. Even though this is great news for tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, probably even saturday too as far as air quality is concerned. All that depends on what the wildfires do. Thats the wildcard. If anything sparks in an unfortunate location, we could be right back in this. But for where things stand now, this pattern in the atmospherev. Once that system, we were just looking at passes, were going to feel offshore winds from it. Which means next sunday could be a concern in terms of maybe some dry fire weather in the mountains. But also the reverse flow meaning any smoke over here will start to get drawn back our way. Enjoy the break. It doesnt mean were done. Weve still got several weeks, couple months really to go. You really cant think of fire season lasting until we get rain. For right now well take these shifts in the wind. Those will help too. Theyre by no means permanent. All it takes is another shift in the other direction and were back in it. There are your morning lows. Upper 50s. Youre waking up to bad air quality tomorrow. Daytime highs tomorrow, unhealthy air quality tomorrow. Tuesday gets better. 7day forecast. The temperatures really are not the story here. I guess thats good. We dont have to worry about that. Still warm at times. Mid to upper 80s if youre inland. In the bay, it will be in the mid 70s. Fingers crossed. Things look good. None of it is a guarantee as weve seen with the smoke forecast. Everything weve got to go on tells us things will get better tuesday. Well take whatever good news we can get. Coming up, the fight to help a herd of elk in the bay area. One group says theyre being blocked from their water supply. And an adorable rescue caught on camera after several bear cubs get stuck in a dumpster. Hey, everybody. Im dennis odonnell.

Activists are upping the ante in their fight to protect the elk living in the Point Reyes National seashore. Theyre worried about the elk dying of thirst while trapped behind a fence. Today demonstrators posed for a photo while reaching out through that fence to demand that the barrier be removed. Protesters claimed that after last years dry winter, the elk are trapped with a dwindling water supply. One man whos been photographing the elk for 12 years says hes worried about the number of dead animals theyve seen lately. My main concern was when i came across five of them in such a short time that the last dieoff we had happened right under the Park Services nose. Weve been faking photos of those springs and all seem to be running pretty heavily, pretty steadily. The park service insists the elk does have access to those springs. They say if the water supply becomes inadequate, the staff will provide a watering trough. Deputies helped with a cute little rescue in south lake tahoe. They put a ladder inside a dumpster. When three bear cubs got stick. They climb out on their own. Officials say it doesnt happen often but sometimes the animals do get stuck in dumpsters like these when theyre looking for food.
