The only wind were going to see, liz, is the seabreeze which starts probably about 2 00 this afternoon. So right now, winds are calm. Coming out of the north. Anywhere from 1 to 2 miles an hour if that. That is allowing the smoke to drift upwards in the atmosphere. Not moving much. Not dispersing. Temperatures are in the low 50s.

This is our live picture where you can see the smoke there at pier 45. I know many of you are probably very familiar with pier 45. It is an historic part of San Francisco. Fishermans wharf not far from the square and so it is a place that so many people are familiar with. Not only people who live here but tourists all around the world. This is a very historic area, fouralarm fire this morning. We first got reports around 4 40 this morning. Progress has been made. That is what the San Francisco Fire Department is saying. No injuries reported. No word on the cause of the fire. That is still to be determined or to find out from fire officials. We do have a crew on their way right now so hopefully well get a live update soon. But again, fouralarm fire. This is the smoke making its way across the bay area and this is earlier today from on the ground there as the firefighters battle those flames. It quickly made its way up from the onealarm fire to a fouralarm fire this morning and weve been following this all morning since weve been on the air at 5 00 a. M. And we could hear the fire trucks making their way there from our studio here on the embarcadero. This is something were following all morning, fouralarm fire at a warehouse at pier 45 that were told has threatened additional structures and even the ss Jeremiah Obrien ship one of the two functioning liberty ships launched during world war ii. No update on whether the firefighters were able to save that ship. We will try to get those answers and more this morning. Lisa, ill toss it over to you now because in addition to tracking all of this smoke now youre tracking the heat. The National Weather service has issued an excessive heat watch to go into effect next week monday through thursday. It seems like a long ways away and extensive time period, four days. And it is. Usually we get our heat waves about two days and that seabreeze comes back. But this looks like the heat especially in our inland valleys is going to build and stay with us throughout much of the upcoming work week. So although today is very pleasant, it is really the only one where well have the overnight lows drop off to cool us off like they did this morning because after that, were looking at the nights to be very warm in the 60s and even 70s. A live look outside looking at emeryville where it is nice and clear and temperatures are coming up today. Its 53 in San Francisco. 51 san jose. 44 in gilroy. Oakland sitting at 52. Beautiful view from the camera. A few patches of fog and some down toward sfo, also toward the central coast. 44 santa rosa. 58 by the delta. 48 in livermore. With all of the sunshine, numbers will be pleasant. A little warmer though. 5 to 8 degrees warmer out there especially inland. Well still have the seabreeze at the coast and a look at santa cruz, 50 right now. Low 70s return. Beautiful day out there with the warming trend beginning today. And then the heat intensifies as we get to memorial day. So even tomorrow is going to be warm for some folks but it is really monday where temperatures are really going to feel pretty sticky and then building on after that. Into tuesday, wednesday, thursday looks like a return to a seabreeze but the excessive heat watch, you can see almost the entire bay area increasing the risk of heat illness, the first widespread and prolonged heat wave weve seen all year. Notice the marin county coast line and the san mateo coast are outside of the heat wave. Also the monterey area. But we will look for the numbers here on the holiday to reach 100 degrees. Antioch and fairfield upper 90s livermore. 80s around the bay. 70 San Francisco. Then on tuesday the pifrnks, excessive heat even closer to parts of the east bay. Tuesday and wednesday expect to be the hottest days. Here on wednesday 101 in livermore. Could see about 80 in San Francisco. Light to absent seabreeze by then. Mid 70s today in oakland. 83 in napa. And because we had some rain not too long ago, were not too concerned about the fire danger. As we go through the next several days it is this were going to be missing, overnight lows in the 40s and 50s to help cool us off. The accu weather sevenday forecast looking at today, a nice day warmer by about 5 to 8 degrees and then really a taste of summer with the heat wave beginning by the holiday. Liz . All right. Thanks, lisa. I just want to say, we can smell smoke here inside our studio at the embarcadero and front street.

It is unclear what ignited these flames. Crews say no one has been hurt and we are closely monitoring this. We can smell smoke here inside our studio.
