In my neighborhood weve got some very light when theres not much wind at all you can see even in petaluma right now just a light wind to 3 Miles Per Hour. Youre in a tin flail but really its up over the mountaintops where some of those wires from bg exist. Thats what read about and thats were seeing the gustier winds above a 1000 feet in fact some of these winds now gusting look at atlas peak, they jump up to about 38 mile an hour winds. So certainly a chance of 40 plus mile an hour winds overnight tonight. Its tomorrow morning its going to be blustery throughout the night then it looks like those winds will begin to calm down so thats why red flag warnings have been posted its been very dry of course coming after record heat in the santa cruz in the east bay, the oakland also in the diablo range so could see some gusts tonight of 30 the 45 Miles Per Hour county them pretty blustery all day long they continue to see some winds there overnight tonight, those winds will be picking up maybe 25 to 40 mile an hour gusts. And then the north bay 35 to 45 Miles Per Hour you get across some of those higher peaks. You can easily see a gust upwards of 50 Miles Per Hour. That is scary. Thank you. Lawrence, well, the previous record for consecutive spare the air alerts was 14 days here in the bay area that happened. You may recall back in 2018 during the camp fire.

Alarming to us to have that many days in a row or snow impacting us. Charlie can owner and manages the Meteorology Department at the bay area air Quality Management district. He talked about the mix of record breaking temperatures over the Labor Day Weekend combining with lingering smoke from wildfires triggering the extended alert. As a result we have to call a spare the air alert for smog which is which is really a mixture usually its couples to come off of the tailpipe exhaust and that combined with he generates what we call ozone and we for research that of smaug the other thing we have going for us this past weekend is the massive amount of smoke thats been in the atmosphere over past several weeks and those emissions from wildfires to impact smog. So we also have to consider that Bay Area HealthOfficials Say during spare the air alert. It is important for residents to protect their health by avoiding exposure if possible stay inside with windows and doors closed until smoke levels subside this is the way we talk to one another these extended spare the air alerts are happening during the covid19 pandemic that is why ucsf Family Medicine doctor Katherine Forrest says if you just have to go outside in these conditions, the best protection would be. This type of mask. This n 95 masks will protect the person wearing it from incoming snow but themselves still lets your breath out with covid19 virus you can still infect someone else if youre talking breathing sneezing, so you need to wear your cost mask over that officials with the bay area air Quality Management district say the spare the air alert is now extended to wednesday september 1920 20.

Warren county was set to move into the next here today but late monday night the state stepped in and delayed the next phase. Our conference theresa stasi was in marine county right now with more on what happened and why 3 sets.

And had hoped to welcome customers back tuesday, but not now we sell we waiting for them, we owe one for outdoor, but we still waiting for them to come were frustrated frustrated that is the word coming from marine county officials about the last minute hold to allow Movie Theaters, retail shops nail salons gyms. To operate indoors in a limited capacity. Youre supposed to be moving to 2 status that read status based on previous conversations with the California Department of Public Health unsure exactly what happened between sunday where we were still a go at when we were informed that was no longer the case claiming hendricks is the Public Information officer from marin county what were looking at where those businesses that were looking to reopen some of what you mentioned, you know Indoor Dining returning at a certain capacity. The personal Care Services like the indoor nail salons the site and so on and so forth so. Its its a struggle hendricks says that the county is currently in talks with state officials to get more guidance on our epidemiologists are in communication with state epidemiologist too. Compare that data that we have on file with what they how go ahead and move forward to the rich here as was previously. Prescribed and if not we must remain on tier one a that here for a long time. Just provide that clarity as to why. In the meantime places like a Left Bank Restaurant larkspur tell me they are staying positive and hoping for the best. Obviously were not doing as well as we once were but for the circumstances i think that just because weve said positive. Weve stayed enthusiastic. Tried to adapt with the times. Weve been successful on it and were having on. Robin fun being leaders in the community.

Most important election in the history of our country whatever it takes we have to win. President trump on the campaign trail today with less than 2 months to go before election day. He held rallies in the battleground states of florida and north carolina. And tonight were learning the president seems to be losing his cash advantage. One of the one 0. 1 billion dollars that his campaign has and the party raise that amount through july. There is more than 800 million that has already been spent, you know burning through that cash today. He says that if he has to put his own money into the race he will do that. A new poll shows the candidates running neck and neck in the Sunshine State inside bay area, politics, analysts weighed in on what this means moving forward. New polling in florida shows that President Trump is actually leading joe biden among his facts if that played out nationwide. This election would be over early on election day there is also talk of whether trump will have enough money theyve been spending a lot of money that is because republicans are knocking on doors and the democrats arent and that to tells me that the republican get out the vote effort it will be stronger than the democrats. This race and the polls are going to veer back and forth. Pauls counter an instant its harder to capture final impression until basically election day. Trumps challenge is to keep states like florida in his column and his lack of money is a problem and its a problem of his own making. So if more states than florida become competitive. I see the money gap closing. But buying can keep a 4 to 5 point lead in pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan term may have to do something hes never done before. Cough up his own money. I like to the president hes not put any money into the 2020 campaign so far, but he did put more than 50 Million Dollars into his primary bid. But not did not fund his campaign in the general election as for joe biden hes due in michigan tomorrow he and his running mate senator Kamala Harris will be on the campaign trail for the rest of the week.
