Rigorous outdoor workout were still very poor to pour across the bay area. We do have the return of a little narrow moderates lot up in a maroon county this morning though little signs of hope as we work our way through this forecast light winds across the bay this morning, nothing enough to be sweeping out the remaining haze across the bay just yet. But we are seeing improvements gradually in the days ahead of us 50s and 60s for current temperatures, a cool start to yet another hazy morning. Go ahead and step outside with a light jacket on hopefully for no more than just a few minutes as for temperatures later today, youll notice a little bit warmer and a little bit brighter than yesterday was with highs in the 70s and 80s for most of our beside and inland areas. Darya and james. Thanks a lot john lets get to our big story this morning more businesses are going to be allowed to reopen indoors.

Teams there are in Contra Costa County. But nonetheless if there are if you want to do some sports. It all has to do outside. And thats going to be that way for quite some time so you cant blame the wildfires for that. But you can blame the wildfires for being outside enjoying the services and maybe having a hard time breathing let me quickly pull up a map for you and show you what you are waking up to johns raible youve been doing a great job at the 4 oclock hour talking about how conditions our little bit better than yesterday you might notice, im not wearing my mask i can personally tell you it feels a lot cleaner today and the man show it.

I have a predisposition for. Tough breathing. I mean i carry an inhaler with me sometimes i can tell you this morning. A lot better, but im not just celebrating just yet because i do have. My trusty mask all ready to go always next to me. And reportedly get this, i dont smoke i take care of my fitness but reportedly james darya doctors are even saying the way things are right now its equivalent to smoking half a pack of cigarettes every day why here. Okay so stay inside you absolutely all right, thank you very much well. 5 04 right now and today, berkeley leaders are set to vote on whether or not to issue fines to people who refuse to wear a mask, kron 4 Sarah Stinson in berkeley for us this morning with more on that vote good morning sara. The there. Yeah good morning. This is not the city or county that weve seen has tried to you know create a mask fine. The city of berkeley now saying we want to find people 100 per day for the first violation if they refuse to wear their masks. Even though is already required they want to make sure that this is solidified in that theres some kind of repercussion if you do not follow were well into the pandemic. And the people are wearing a mask and by now then yeah, i guess theyre going to be issuing fines if they do decide to pass this today, Berkeley City Council vote on this and its all based issuing fines to people who refuse to wear a mask now penalties could be increasing for repeat violations. Many other counties as ive said of already approved measures just like this actually their current requirements are very similar to San Franciscos wearing a face mask is already acquired in berkeley when stepping into a store waiting in line for Public Transportation inside any workplace really while outside dining if youre up from the like a restaurant you can up your table you have to wear masks as well as when youre walking running biking outdoors and someone is it within 30 feet of you as i said very similar to the language of San Franciscos rules. But now the city wants to vote on finding people the City Council Meets at 6 oclock tonight. I think people will feel about that in berkeley since they havent had these kind of finds put upon them in the past. Well have to see this morning will be out here asking people how they feel about this make sure to stay tuned in for now live in berkeley Sarah Stinson kron 4 news, thanks. A lot sarah. Well also in the east bay we have more vehicle based outdoor gatherings that are now allowed in Alameda County the updated health order doubles the limit of cars at Outdoor Church services from 200 to 400 cars. The new health order also allows new permits for outdoor Live Performances and lectures and presentations and movie showings as well. Bishop bob jackson that acts full Gospel Church in oakland is welcoming the new rules. Weve been on the parking lot weve been having Holy Communion services on for sunday. And it works out pretty well we have the and by then the music with the cars people in the cars and all they led the praise like we always do what were just outside and opened it from 200 to 400 cars in the parking lot i think it would be great. Well according to the health order occupants of each car have to be from the same household and have to remain in their vehicle. During the outdoor events. Small gym owners in San Francisco are calling the reopening phase another false start. After they waited all weekend. The city said out specific guidelines yesterday and the same day Fitness Centers were allowed to reopen indoors. That gave them little time to repair because it was sudden the list of directions included small boutique gym owners having to worry about capping their capacity at 10 . And that includes the staff members. Plus 12 feet of distance required for exercises that increase breathing rate and intensity. Business owners like Billy Paladino with tribe sfa north beach are concerned that theyre tight space. With the space is limited they are not going to able to accommodate enough members to make it viable and to do only about 3 people would be allowed inside according to the guidelines. He says. That can make up that revenue there. It says the state that will cinderella that she can come to the policy did x y z knowing that she was not going to able to do x y z and you know in a Small Businesses with limited space im going to comply with so the 10 it just really feels like an insincere by the city, im not sure whether thats because they got caught with your gyms you know as early as since july first, but i just really doesnt feel to have these regulations come on top of paladino says the reopening may help bigger gyms that have more space to work out. But for the smaller gyms its just not going to work. Well now to our wildfire coverage, thousands of firefighters continue to fight the dozens of fires that are burning all along the west coast. At least 35 people we understand have died in california alone more than 3 million acres has burned with more than 4200 structures destroyed smoke from these fires of course has created the poor air quality that were seeing all over the state. The major wildfires burning in california right now include the august complex fire thats the one burning in mendocino and humboldt counties the north complex fire. The one were following up in butte county. The creek fire burning of Fresno County and the el dorado fire burning in riverside county. And heres a look at the latest numbers for the wildfires burning here in the immediate bay area and they include the lnu complex fires in the north bay which is now 97 contained so thats an update from yesterday. The scu complex fires burning in the east and south bays is now 98 contained. The czu complex fires down in san mateo and santa cruz counties now 91 contained and lastly the wood fire in marin county out of the Point Reyes National seashore that fire now 95 contained. Time now is 5. 10 and the wildfire season that weve had so far in california has turned the debate into Climate Change. Into a campaign talking point. Many democrats rely on science they say President Trump continues to deny Climate Change the president spent 2 hours in sacramento yesterday getting briefed on the wildfire situation here in california from state officials before the briefing with Emergency Management and management to President Trump reiterated to the reporters his concerns about californias forest management. I think this is more of a management situation. In other countries you go to other countries in europe, governor newsome told the president that the fires are a direct result of Climate Change newsome also acknowledged that work needs to be done managing californias wildlands the majority of which is owned by the federal government. A closer look at the damage from the fires in the north bay as homeowners are returning to clean up the mess that was left behind. And San Jose City leaders have come together to fight Illegal Dumping well tell you whats even leaders are proposing to do to help clean up the mess and weve got a little more brightness through the haze yesterday were going to see a bit more that sunshine to hold on to haze throughout the day today 70s and 80s for most of our daytime highs.

This is not bad even in the can tell it does not look as. Hazy and therefore maybe not a smarty know i think youre yeah i think youre right lets get over to the Weather Center john can you verify for us that the areas maybe just a hair better than it was yesterday. Yeah Getting Better guys getting a little bit better each and every day and definitely a noticeable improvement in that camera from yesterday. As a foe is also looking a little better to this view it was tough to look at. But definitely a little more normal looking at sfo getting closer and closer to where we should be but it is a slow go as far as Improvements Co were Still Holding on to port a very poor air quality for most of the bay, so as you get outside youre going to see a bit more brightness a bit more sunshine today and that may make you want to get out there and enjoy it more and more it looks a lot better and it is a little bit better but still limit that outdoor exposure because were not quite where we need to before you really start getting outside and resuming those outdoor workouts skies are dry across the bay area just a touch of some low lying cloud cover, not really dealing with much fog or visibility issues this morning. We are seeing sweeping winds working their way into the bay in Northern California from the south. This is pushing Northern California wildfire smoke out of the region and initially its starting to clear out upper levels of that smoke and haze thats why looking up you see more and more blue all if you look across the horizon, youre still noticing the haze because those lower areas are going to be the last spots where its really swept out. But we are seeing these improvements and well continue to see them through the rest of the week which is all really good stuff to be talking about winds are pretty light this morning so not a whole lot of that sweeping action going on at the surface. You head up a little bit higher aloft and winds are stronger and thus clearing for higher terrain areas. Temperatures today in the 60s and 70s closer to the coastline. It will be a nice cool one up the coast while temperatures inland will be noticeably a few degrees warmer than they have been areas like woodside saying carlos san jose all back into the 80s today after having been in the 70s the past few days, 70s and 80s as well for east bay cities livermore 85 while the creek 86 oakland youll be at 74 today, north bay temperatures also 70s 80s a little closer to 94 vacaville getting up to 88. Well santa rosa through center fell out of yesterdays 70s and back into the low 80s today. Tomorrow and thursday not much different temperature wise well continue to see progress being made as far as hayes goes with thursday and friday accelerating that progress these will be a little bit on the breezier side for days helping to sweep out more and more of that poor air and this just in time for next weekend with saturday and sunday looking even better in regards to air quality. Robin. Thank you just getting word of a new hot spot. Its been so quiet throughout the morning drive and now an overturned crash, lets check it out on traffic tracker this to the south just as you approach to 38 in san leandro a vehicle just flipped over, but we have some other cars involved as well, maybe a couple of lanes blocked the 2 right lanes so it is quickly backing up there at the scene you may want to stick with 5. 80 instead of the nimitz because we also have slowed traffic, leaving downtown oakland. Thats because of road work so 80 south from 9 abita fruit fill it slow and they are slow again approaching the overturned. So just stick with 5. 80 heading into San Francisco. You are looking good moving well, no problems at the bay bridge toll plaza, 92 the san mateo bridge its the busiest traffic filling in quickly here 12 minutes to the peninsula and some heavy traffic on south 6 ad out of concord just south of to 42 and Towanda Creek looks like it will pick up right before the 24 split james.
