The team is doing an outstanding job with the resources that we have available to us from the start we have a had a limited number resources. On all the fires heard the 22 that we started with and now the one large and sent that we have and the mutual aid system is a robust system but when its task to the number of fires across the state.

I would be able to make all right youve been watching an update from fire officials on the czu complex fires in santa cruz and san mateo counties in case you joined us one phrase we kept hearing over and over again robin was. Things are looking really good. Yeah i heard that in about a week. Once again they said its a historic event theyre asking folks to be patient. Theyre still working on 3 missing persons cases, a total of 7 people that they under investigation right now so still a large Police Presence in the area, but thankfully, the weather cleared up marty they were able to bring in some of those waterdropping helicopters and that helped a lot when they were busy dropping 200,000 gallons welcome back everyone. Its another morning of fog smoke and haze, lets check in with meteorologist states far to get an update on todays forecast 8 well good morning robin good morning everybody live shot coming in from the golden gate and pretty much most of the towers are pretty much obscured by this fog going on this is usually slow clearing anyway, but it looks like today even along the coast, its going to be kind of slow going to get that fog to lift if it does it all along the beaches in some spots. Weve had an onshore will say drip that hasnt been really strong flow but well take it bringing in that marine layer going all the way to the east bay further to the east thats really filled up the area with fog and thats going to mix out the inland areas, fairly quickly today again struggling along the coast and heres the latest winds that we have going on basically on the northwest Single Digits. Youve been hearing about that from us some of the reports weve been having that at least the winds have been fairly calm go in the last 2448 hours or so temperatures in the 60s off to the east bay weve had the 50s up to the north a little nap has graduated to 60 this hour, 64 san jose again 50s back to San Francisco and the peninsula watching future cast for one county. Get an idea this marine layer thats the cloud cover you see going on clearing out for the day today. Coming back again for tonight, although it doesnt look like from here is aggressive as what we saw from last night still doing the same job filling up the bay area with fog. Dampness good on shore flow that we like all of that kind of business little bit of a warmup though were expecting as we finish off the week, lets get back the moisture again. This is relative humidity levels would like to see them, theyre somewhat typical in the upper 90s to start the day off. This afternoon, they drop off to the 50s in the 60s inland. We can pretty much deal with that thats ok when they get down to the teens or 20s thats we have some problems there doesnt look like thats going to happen we fill up again with the fog in the marine layer with 80s and 90s and then tomorrow afternoon not as generous, but we still have 40s and 50s so thats still pretty good. Keep in an a for that marine layer around to help suppress the fire best we can. So for today we have this early fog going on its kind of dense in spots now turning into overcast. Well see some clearing going on because those inland areas, mild for bay Area Temperatures will warm inland. We Start Building on that by later on this weekend temperatures will start pumping into the middle to even upper 90s by weeks end and into the weekend it will be kind of toasty and the inland valleys, a little bit. For today were talking 66 San Francisco 73 for oakland 85. San jose across the wider real estate lower 90s inland which again will be building on 80s meanwhile up to the north bay so not as much the way of 90s today, but again later in the week well see more action well take a closer inspection of that in your 4 zone forecast later one mark.
