Indoor pools, bowling alleys and the gym locker rooms will stay closed with worship houses at 25 capacity instead of increasing to 50 capacity that they hoped originally do. The schools are still on go with approval. The seed director said the pause in reopening is due to the increase in case rates. In the last two weeks our case rate has gone from 3 per 100,000 population to 4 which is 25 increase. That might not sound like a lot, but when this fire starts taking off, it takes off quickly.

You probably want a light jacket before you step outside because it is still cool in the upper 40s in oakland and in livermore mid 40s but just because that is the coolest spot on the map now that does not compare what was going on up here with 36 in santa rosa, 39 in petaluma.

Good morning, everybody. 49ers and seahawks, and the 49ers are the 3 point dog in this one. It is quiet. Take a look at this. This is noise, but not a factor at the Centurylink Field with no fans on sunday. The seahawks usually use this as an advantage but this is a huge help with 49ers. There is no hand signal to communicate or count to snap the ball. This right tackle agrees. When the quarterback is rocking, you could not hear yourself talk, let alone the person next to you. It sucks not to have the crowded on but it pays back on the road, especially going to the 12th man. It makes it a little bit easier. We have the slight underdog stretching the field to make the place at Cleveland Browns on sunday which is what coach jon gruden wants to see.

Thankfully the wildfires are not the significant story in this morning newscasts but there is a significant one putting smoke in the skies for much of california. The creek fire making it hazy and bringing our air quality back down to moderate. Let me show you how it looks now and how the smoke will be a bigger issue tomorrow likely than today. Here is the view from the top of the mark hopkins looking toward the Salesforce Tower and we see pretty early light filling the skies. Tomorrow morning we will see more like filling the skies because even though it is getting darker one hour earlier which is what most people think about when we set the clocks back in the fall but the early risers notice an improvement on Early Morning light. As we take a look at the point source, heres the creek fire putting plenty of smoke in the skies. Today is much like yesterday meaning you will notice it if you look hard, but by tomorrow back in this scenario where you wont be able to help but notice. The sky will be hazy again. We have had a couple of days like that already this week. The air quality will go back down hill. But thankfully this is elevated enough that it does not look like we have to talk about anything worst than moderate. Considering what we have gone through so far this summer, moderate does not sound that bad. It will be more noticeable again sunday into monday. As far as today, heres the view from the top of the Salesforce Tower looking south over the ships in the bay. It is cold in the north bay right now. Here are the current numbers.

We have reached the time of the year where the sheltered valleys in the north bay will see morning temperatures dipping below most places. You get colder in the mornings. As far as the daytime highs today, low 80s. This is well above average. That is 10 to 12 degrees above average for this time of the year. Is the same story with concord and livermore at 83, walnut creek at 81. Oakland topping out at 76, novato at 73 with 83 in santa rosa. Even though you start out cold you will warm up like everybody else. Lets take a quick look at halloween. We saw san jose, but now lets get to the north bay where they will be cooler by 9 00 tonight. 23 degrees, and at 7 00 that is the prime time with 62 deg with the lightning bolts coming in we changed oakland subtly, a little bit warmer. It is not a real big difference across much of the bay, but since it some of us experienced slightly cooler temperatures in the evening, i thought it was worth pointing out. Its really the morning lows where we notice a big difference. Lets get to the headlines in your 7day forecast. By friday into saturday we will get a significant enough of a cooldown back to average, and a small, keep your fingers crossed chance of rain by friday and saturday. The people going to decide to find a careful way or cautious way to go trickor treating, the weather will be perfect. We could not ask for Better Weather if you like it 10 degrees above average without worrying about the window rain messing up your costume, its great.
