So the pyrotechnic experts are preparing a lot of fire power. 300 feet per second and then it will slow down, slow down and then about 200 feet in the air, thats when it will spread about 200 feet. Reporter over the years, the weather forced the cancellation of other fourth of july shows, as well including in san jose and morgan hill. Even though Drought Conditions are worse, numerous shows are planned throughout the south bay this weekend. We have a great safe environment, and i think a lot of things are looking for us to cut down on individuals still going rogue and doing their own fireworks. A lot of people want to see it done in a safe environment, they can enjoy as a community and thats what were here to provide.

The sightings have mostly been between 30 yards out to 200 yards from shore. Shark warnings will stay posted at sea cliff and new brighton state beaches through the july fourth weekend and perhaps into next week. Though the latest shark sighting was two days ago.
