Hayward napa and avato from my last check with you as we are seeing some low clouds beginning to raise right above the bay itself sear now starting to drive under the fog rather than right through it unless youre in Half Moon Bay at the coast where yeah visibility still a problem, 50s and 60s for your current temperatures with alameda dublin and san mateo all at 58 degrees right now oakland, youre at 60 with areas like berkeley and San Francisco a little cooler 56. Later today, a bit of a cooler afternoon can be expected with coastal temperatures in the 50s to 60s 70s, right along the bay and 80s and just a few 90s remaining inland. Ive got more details on especially that smoke with an updated smoke bap just here in a few minutes, robin. Actually i take it john lets talk more about that smoke we do have smoke from the fires causing bad air across the bay area. And you can see here on the map. Just kind of where it is at its worst the darker the color. The worse the air and in some areas, its hard to breed giant yeah, it sure is if you go outside you smell it right away so lets get to the coverage from 4 sarah stinson. Is in nevada thats one of the places that has had the worst smoke for days now sara. Just sitting here and its hard to breathe it affects your eyes and your nose and its its just irritating. You notice it right when you get out your house or car then youll notice that when youre driving on 1 one at night or in the Early Morning hours take a look at this map is actually hazardous here in the nevada area and marine county and you can see on your map that dark purple that means its hazardous of those pockets of this across the bay area. Its the worst in the north bay it gets better towards the south bay but in nevado thats where were seeing that thick haziness through waking up to poor air quality hazardous at if that in fact we also have of really crazy video from our quadcopter copters are drone and it shows you just this blanket of smoke and haziness this over 2 weeks of going through a spare the air alert from the bay area air Quality Management district and they are telling us it is not healthy to be breathing outside its best to stay indoors. If you can fortunately were still you know at this time where people are working from home so hopefully people can stay home but also it doesnt look like its going to be scorching hot today. So doesnt seem like youre going to have to open those doors to lift that air we talked with a man who has you know Underlying Health conditions he says this really really affects him. Cant do much about it. Im of pulmonary issues from the v a ive got to be very careful. Very careful so i i stay inside i just want my activities. You know i do some things start to get something strenuous. I stopped to rest the starter like that. Even if you dont have an Underlying Health condition. It is really a good idea to you know cut down on the Outdoor Recreation stay indoors as much as possible and now of course we wear mask everywhere so hopefully that will help a little bit with some of those up for air quality particles that you could be breathing but today we will be monitoring this when the sun comes up, i think well get even a better idea i could still see the haziness lose sky, especially in peoples headlights driving on one oh one and it doesnt seem like this is going to last long it seems like well have john monitor this more, but it seems like were going to get a sea breeze in maybe tomorrow, maybe thursday that could help but then we have higher temps coming so best to stay indoors.

There are also various filtering systems there are being developed which in turn can adversely affect the wines taste. Other strategies call for enhancing fruity flavors to mask the taint of smoke and protective coatings on the grants themselves are being looked at get some tools of the trade sometimes you can the care for but because of the good news for consumers is that california winemakers what released winds that are not to be spoke team to say look we need anything that could potentially i mean you know theyre like home. But that could also mean a potential loss of product that profit potential Economic Impact on the industry thats already struggling theres more research to be done because wildfires are going to be going away in years to come.

Now some of the worst air quality is right here in our backyard, lets zoom in on this pocket of bad air right around nevado now primary wind direction in this area is actually funneling a lot of the smoke right into one area you see petaluma winds from the north and west well you need us winds from the south and west sandra fell same direction that pushes it all into this one spot right there. It all depends on wind direction when it comes to smoke, and unfortunately for you in novato and other portions of sonoma and marin counties.
