The sevenday is at 4. 1 , one of the lowest that we have seen in a long time. Health experts are warning of a potential cold weather surge of coronavirus cases. Researchers with Johns Hopkins school of medicine believe the second wave will ramp up in october, it could lead to a catastrophic number of infections and deaths. The worst of it would not hit until election day or just after, leading to a daily death toll of around 1,900 people. This pattern was predicted early based on other kinds of respiratory viruses, which are also expected to spread.

Not as hot in the city but still oh, yeah. Were going into the 90s and that depends on what part of the city youre in. If youre over in the sunset, certainly cooler, but were looking at the financial district, so the range in San Francisco could be a good 15 degrees and you know about that living here in the bay area, the microclimates but really not helping us out today because everyone is going to be hot as the atmosphere continues to warm up today underneath this huge dome of High Pressure, so theres live doppler 7 and there is nothing to speak of, thats a Lightning Strike from the fire down there, caught that around fresno, the pyro cumulus clouds making their own weather going well up into the atmosphere creating lots of clouds and lightning. So thats certainly a dangerous situation there, but once again, as we get into this heat wave today, were probably going to be at our peak heat today.

I said before that well cool off another degree or two through 7 00, 7 30 and the numbers will warm up when it. Showing you the wind flow of the winds in the upper elevations, are strong but because of the direction, out of the northnortheast and thats another reason why were so warm, because in the upper elevations, even hotter, 70s, 80s, even 90s, up to 1,000, 1,500 feet, 2,000 feet so the air is being pushed out and adding to our warming. So air quality right now for sensitive groups in livermore not great. An increase of surface smoke throughout the Morning Hours around the bay area, so it is going to get a little bit worse out there, and looking at our dangerous heat to continue today, tomorrow. We could see records of spare the air alert extended into labor day and the gusty winds, high fire danger monday night through wednesday morning.
