Lets head over to mike and how is it looking for the morning commute . Kari, ive been staring at the live camera at the san mateo bridge. Theres some slowing that hammed on the sensors. I saw flashing lights heading west away from us towards the high rise and i do think we still see one set of lights but traffic continues to move well here and on our maps the Speed Sensors where i circled are improving a tad bit coming down the decline so i think it may be taking care of whatever business is over there.

Now legendary actor and comedian steve martin is talking about getting most of the gang back together for a new spin. A phrase i hear a lot is welcome to the 90s, mr. Banks. Welcome to the 90s, mr.

The film drops on netflix but will be available for everyone on Netflixs Youtube channel. Itll be a fun one to check out.

Its interesting to see movies and music, fashion even making a comeback. Not that i lived through those. You have your mc hammer pants on today, mike . Thats right. Cant touch it. Cant touch that. Speaking of 80s and 90s lets talk about some temperatures because, kari, we might get closer to the 90s this weekend. Yeah, even along the coastline as we are talking about a big heatup for San Francisco and the inland areas. A live look out there this morning as were seeing that fog rolling on by to start out and were also getting a stronger ocean breeze as we see the storm system passing to the north of us. But what will happen once that moves out, High Pressure moves in and its going to really cause our temperatures to ramp up, and we are also going to get an offshore wind that will heat up our temperatures and also increase our fire danger. Really going to be concerned about that because once the High Pressure gets in here its not going to move and then well see our winds shifting coming from the west and then turning more northerly as we go into today. A northerly wind will bring in more smoke. Our air quality will be an issue. Then as the winds pick up to 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour we are going to have the potential that it will continue to dry out a lot of our hills and all of the vegetation there will make it very easy for something that gets ignited to spread rapidly. So we have the concern of a high fire danger and going into sunday its still going to be breezy with some of our mountains will have gusts up to 50 Miles Per Hour. We are going to have a red flag mountains moving inland as well, a lot of our elevations above 1,000 feet and a red flag warning from Solano County extending to the east with the high temperatures and low humidity but i know a lot of people will be trying to escape the heat. If youre going to the coastline, heads up there will be the potential of rip currents and sneaker waves throughout the weekend because of the storm systems weve seen moving to the north of us. There are still going to be high waves at times. And then looking at our air quality thats going to be another thing well have to deal with because in the north bay and east bay today well see our air quality becoming moderate. People who are sense tetch to t sensitive to the smoke will notice those issues going into the weekend anywhere across the bay area. Were watching out for that as well as the heat, and our temperatures that will reach into the 80s today will become 90s tomorrow in the valleys and then highs up to 100 degrees on sunday. And were just seeing the heat sticking around through at least the middle of next week with highs reaching into the 90s through next wednesday and thursday and its also going to be hot in San Francisco with some upper 80s for the start of the new workweek. I think some spots in the city that reach over 90 degrees. Well really have to watch out for that. Mike, what are you watching for for the morning commute . Im watching for delays. Folks across the san mateo bridge, lets take a look, you are going to be delayed. Consider the dumbarton bridge. Westbound we dont have any problems now. We are moving smoother now. Lets look at the sensors at the high rises. More focus at the high rise. Ive been watching this the last 15 minutes. Whatever was happening, because no incidents reported by chp, it might be clearing. The dumbarton is clearing at 84. At the bay bridge toll plaza a slower drive across the span. No metering lights registered yet. Well show you that coming up. Back to you. Sounds good. 6 22 right now. Up next on today in the bay nbc bay area responds.
