Just ahead of the 4th of july weekend American Airlines alerts passengers they will no longer be blocking middle seats in the name of social distancing. The move puts them in line with united and Spirit Airlines allowing flights to be booked to Capacity Starting july first American Airlines has a lot of debt theyve seen their revenues fall like all other airlines so im not surprised that they are. Trying to sell as many seats during the peak Summer Season as they can. But its a disappointing decision nonetheless since april american has been capping the number of passengers on each flight. Their average load for the month of june was about 63 . When asked why they chose to make the change now americans said quote we expect a busy weekend around the 4th of july holiday.

If you missed or 50 years of pride special last night dont worry we have an encore presentation tonight at 10 oclock hosted by our very own john trouble whose. By the way standing by to look at the Weather Forecast this morning hey all is cool to see that lit up last night and good to see the the fog that we had been seeing the past few evenings wasnt really an issue last night on twin peaks you can actually see the Pink Triangle there on the mountainside just as you can see San Bruno Mountain in the distance from sfo. Theres some low cloud cover that is pushed in but a lot of that wind that weve had has helped to break up any sort of fog formation so significantly less foggy day than what we had been saying but use do still have that low gray that is filtering across the bay area this morning. Now theres going to be a couple of things that you really notice thats different about today. The past few days. One of the first things is just how windy. It is that cold front that began to sweep through yesterday resulted in an uptick in wind speeds will continue to do so into the afternoon today as windy conditions remain you can expect some very breezy conditions not just at the coast but further inland as well peak wind gusts amounting to 45 Miles Per Hour in some cases regularly gusting in the north bay down along the coastline and into the east bay hills as high as 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour. Winds remain strong on into tomorrow Early Morning but start to die down after that point and by the time we work our way into midday tomorrow we do get some relief from at least some of the breeze east of conditions. Now strong winds dry conditions that paired together results in high fire danger and red flag warning some of the first of the season for multiple north bay counties, including portions of northern Solano County portions of napa sonoma and marin counties notices are Higher Elevation areas with more trees and also more exposed to those strong wind gusts as i mentioned as high as 45 Miles Per Hour now todays daytime highs. Well, those will be in the 60s 70s and just a few 80s taking on. We had 90s and some of these areas like livermore concord in manioc yesterday today, nothing close to the 90s so a big cool down all across the bay oakland in fremont at 72, San Francisco and Half Moon Bay in the 60s now today we are going to be sitting breezy cool conditions. Tomorrow temperatures begin to warm up wasting no time warming up in fact by the time we work into tuesday, its back to the 90s we go for many inland areas, looking ahead to next weekend in the 4th of july skies will be dry conditions will be warm for inland spots with highs near 90s darya. Thanks a lot john neighbors in the east bay are worried about fires sparked by fireworks ahead of the 4th of july and this comes as safe and sane fireworks go on sale today in dublin proper us rain harvey live at a fireworks and with more on the dangers every year we talk about this right now. Ride in as you both know as of late weve heard hundreds of residents have been reporting illegal fireworks night after night i was in her some fireworks from my house, but today here in dublin like you mentioned they start to open up and they go on sale that starts today at noon, but there are some changes because of the pandemic so number one. You cant just show up to a booth like you would normally do without practicing social distancing so thats the main thing. Youre also going to have to be safe as youre approaching the blues to deal with the different vendors. Another thing is you can not use these fireworks in parks and businesses at schools at multiunit facilities youre probably asking yourself where can i use these fireworks have come out and buy them. At your own private residence, so thats where you can actually use those fireworks. If you are in the neighborhood that belongs to a Home Owners Association youre going want to check with them to see if they even allow fireworks where you live now i like you mentioned at the beginning weve seen a lot of illegal firework use a lot of reports a lot of people concerned for multiple reasons about these illegal fireworks with it being very warm and really hot and fire season approaching saw lets take a listen at what some of those concerns are from residents. Our concerns are around noise and nuisance but more specifically around fire danger is loud booming. Constantly i know theres been on other neighbors who have found act cakes like giant firework cakes in the middle of the street Law Enforcements this year was was not focused on fireworks and prevention as were dealing with a lot of the issues going on in our communities around Law Enforcement so we believe that that was a Good Opportunity for people who like to bring in fireworks into the state. Look officials are saying and they are revamping their focus and if you are caught using illegal fireworks, you could potentially be fine even worse facing jail time and nobody wants that everybody wants to just enjoy the holidays with everything going on. So again be mindful of that as you are coming out to these different locations to purchase safe and sane fireworks but for now reporting here in dublin reyna harvey kron 4 news all right, thanks a lot of rain on my fireworks tase him.
