The worst air quality in the entire world believe it or not experts say it is actually worse today than yesterday look at this video this is what it looked like just hours ago pure hasan gray skies, according to purple air dot com. The particulate matter in the air around the San Francisco bay reach the 200 to 300 parts per million range which is considered very unhealthy. Heres a look at purple airs air quality map of bay area, including San Francisco, the east bay, the peninsula and the north bay are in that purple range that is the worst its considered unhealthy for everyone. But especially dangerous for people with prior Health Conditions as he had a little farther east and south the air quality gets a little bit better, but you have to really get outside of the immediate bay area out there in santa cruz mountains, its bad but not quite as bad even in the central valley. Lots of red and purple is out there. As we know the wildfires and weather conditions are combining to create this problem and even though the 3 large a lightning complex fires burning in the bay area are mostly under control. There are still a number of wildfires across the state as well as up and down the west coast and that is where the smoke we see in the bay area is coming from we want to show you an incident map by cal fire look at all those fires burning in california lot of fires out there and fire complexes were fires merged together. Fire crews are working to contain all of these those big red areas are the perimeters of the fires and thats how large they are thousands and thousands of fact are over. 3 million acres that have burned. Now look at the current air conditions out there, lets check in with our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow with the forecast the guys you know boy the air quality just so stagnant outside the winds. Not much of a breeze we cant get it going so thats the problem so now smoke that really moved in a couple of days ago, has now started to settle near the surface without anything to mix it out. Heres latest forecast, youll notice as we get in toward the weekend High Pressure begins to kick a little further. These thats a good sign we want a Little Movement thats what we call a rex block when you get a big dome like this developing on the west coast. These can last sometimes 14 days as long as 3 weeks now its just beginning to move their quality though i dont think we see much improvement on the way for tomorrow, maybe a little bit in spots but boy once you get the smoke here if you dont get enough when you just cant mix it out were seeing a lot of that smoke and weve got a combination of fog right along the immediate coastline, some dense fog out there and that is actually mixed with some of that smoke as well so the winds if we get these up to 20 maybe even 2530 Miles Per Hour. We could certainly start to make some of this out right now were not seeing that just a 13 Miles Per Hour in a San Francisco youve got a role 9 in boyle not enough to really mix out all that fog sore and smog so were going to see more of this in fact the forecast model showing you some of the winds overnight tonight were going to calm down i think tomorrow morning again very poor air quality all around the bay area will be spots, especially in the north bay maybe near the coastline. Some dense fog going to be difficult to see visibilitys down less than a quarter of a mile there is a promise though as we get toward maybe sunday afternoon a little stronger sea breeze so i think day were going to see some of this move out of the bay area lets the winds which direction to bring more smoker way i think we should see some more improvement by the end of the weekend.

Coming up has taken a while but finally complaints about an illegal dump site getting some attention from city hall in san jose why neighbors say that spot is a threat to Public Health and safety wildfires not only a big problem raging in california. The devastating toll. Theyre taking in oregon tonight plus a new study linking a higher risk of Covid Infection to dining indoors at restaurants what health as the Restaurant Industry tries to make a comeback with reopenings a new study is now linking a possible increase in the risk of Covid Infection to dining out a study by the cdc examines close contact exposures contributing to the spread of the virus and found that adults who tested positive for covid19 were twice as likely to have reported eating in a restaurant within 14 days of infection compared with those who tested negative. Restaurants meanwhile continue to try to slow the spread of the virus by implementing safety precautions starting on monday San Francisco is allowing several businesses open indoor and includes hotel rooms for tourists and that is a big deal for the Overall Economic health of the city kron fours ray kelly joins us now live from inside a suite at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins Hotel with what to expect up there on hill marine. Thats right and i am here in this week right now and i can tell you that its going to look a lot different i think for travelers used to this stay in hotels. One thing youll notice is theres a lack of magazines here theres no stationary left on the desk. Theres nothing in the mini bar when we go to the bedroom theres going to be no bathrobes slippers all of this is in order to keep this room easier to clean and help keep us safer. So the whole idea is that once you check into the room, you know has been sanitized and its been disinfected to the highest and the possible and we try and reduce the amount of interactions are going to have inside the room with the room service from many bar attendance, or anything like that so we removed all those opportunities so the guest is very safe once that checked in and has been cleaned before they got here pretty much the only person in room until they check out now the mark hopkins has been open nearly this entire pandemic first having rooms available for first responders. Here in San Francisco, then essential travelers and even fire evacuees, but its estimated that more than 50 of the citys hotel have been forced to shutter during this pandemic including the policy see here. And this is a huge impact not just on the thousands of workers that have been laid off or furloughed but also the businesses that rely on tourism its going to be a slow recovery and we understand that. But having the ability to be able to welcome guests and there are hotels the same way the rest of the state of california is is important to our industry. I think as people when they come into this city. Theyre helping the person thats working in the hotel. Theyre helping the the Small Business owners around the hotels. All of that as people start to travel and come into our city. Were just really important to remember and we would think people that are. Now in terms of that slow recovery. They are expecting to see people come in from around the state first as well as locals looking to indulge in a staycation. And so you know where it is definitely going to be a slow recovery here. The mark hopkins for example, they are expected to only operate at about 40 capacity thats because right now there are no conventions. Theres no large events that would draw in tourists and theres simply the lack of International Tourism reporting from San Francisco in morning kelly. Kron 4 news all right maureen thank you for that report in San Francisco here is a list of the Indoor Services that can reopen starting monday hair salons barber shops and gyms can reopen indoors at limited capacity and outdoor family entertainment, including many golf and go carts and then the following week of september 21st indoor museums and in class learning from kindergarten to 6th grade can return with limited capacity and a safety plan in place and then by the end of september San Franciscos goal is to allow 25 capacity at indoor places of worship.
