Get with especially some difference is noticeable in marine county where first sign of yellow is now showing up indicating moderate air quality the further inland you get and eventually closer to the sierra you go. Well thats the worst of it we still do have multiple fires burning in the Sierra Nevada certainly putting up a lot of smoke out that direction. 50s and 60s for our current temperatures, a cool start get outside with that light jacket ready to go and then maybe not spend too much time out there despite our increases in sunshine and less hayes we still do have poor air. So definitely stay inside more so the knot on this tuesday. 70s and 80s for todays daytime highs more in your forecast is still ahead. Robin. Thank you john were checking in on the bay bridge commute which actually looks a little bit better was never a bad drive into San Francisco. We just have a crowd at the toll plaza and its been off and on its still slow that be on west grand but thinning out a little bit as you get closer to the pay gates, but this is all completely normal. We dont have any the trouble spots that you have to worry about so 11 minutes into San Francisco, were looking at some drive times because we had earlier crashes one on the nimitz in union city one in san jose on northbound one on one, so you will see some residual slowing under 30 minutes for the nimitz from san leandro to milpitas one oh one that drive time is growing 34 minutes heading north from san jose to menlo park and pretty quiet on the 12 minutes from highway 4 out of danville darya james thanks a lot lets get to the big story now more businesses are going to be allowed to start doing business outdoors in Contra Costa County yet. Despite the fact the air quality is not the best but lets hope for the best crawfords will trend live in walnut creek with details on this and a lot of businesses and looking forward to will. They just cant catch a break though yes theyve been looking forward to tomorrow. Thats when the businesses will be allowed to reopen, but unfortunately they have to be outside. And lets face it. This is that the greatest time to do some deep inhaling because of the air quality. Well talk about that in just a few moments, but let me show you some of the businesses that will be allowed to reopen tomorrow, so draw your attention to the screen. Were talking businesses that can touch your face right, thats very personal, but they can reopen. Tomorrow so long as its outside were not talking about piercings tattoos electrolysis thats still not available. Card rooms you can move your car games outside we saw that happen in san jose at the casinos you can do that outside. Sports activities professional sports, not sure how many professional activities or in Contra Costa County. But if you happen to be say a subsidiary of the Golden State Warriors or Something Like that or the giants you can move your activities outside Music Television production as well, lets talk about the air quality everybodys talking about that they wake up they checked their cellphones they watch heres what you can expect. You dont see purple purple was what we saw on friday which is the worst breathing that we can possibly have the lots of red which means unhealthy to very unhealthy air quality. The good news is for the first time in a long time. We are seeing orange. Orange means that its Getting Better walking backwards just a little bit in terms of that as far as the air quality though this morning. Not as hazy as we saw over the past couple of days, were in downtown walnut creek. So were not high up what we can see the air layer that we showed you yesterday but we do get interviews being down here, heres stephen. You are walking. Pretty feverish lee you dont have your mask on youre youre a tough guy. Your thoughts on the air quality is it the feel it better or worse today. Its better you know the last few days have been fine i walk every morning about this time. I mean i was walking when it was bad, but. Its a its a lot better. Any point where breathing was a little bit tougher, i noticed i i like to work i was. I think the oxygen level of anything else was not us. Much as its been over the past couple of days. That may be the case i mean im not doing strenuous. I are running, i mean, im i walked briskly. And the model 70 years old side. I know my pace i really havent noticed whole is far as affecting my breathing well, good luck with that know some people they dont feel that others can definitely feel it thank you so much get back to your workout you can see people walking their dogs. Right there as well the bottom line is it is considered unhealthy. Obviously is your personal choice. Weather. You want to be likes to run or if you want to stay indoors. He even said he would like to go to the gyms but the gyms are not available. And ill leave you with this. This is incredible i dont smoke i like to stay healthy. But according to doctors, the air quality james and area that weve seen over the past couple of days. Its the equivalent to smoking half a pack of cigarettes every day. Hopefully that will motivate people to stay inside. Thank you very much well, yeah and happening today, berkeley leaders are voting on whether or not to find people who refuse to wear a mask kron 4 Sarah Stinson in berkeley for us this morning with more on that story good morning sara. James darya today a lot of us are wearing a mask not only for protection against the coronavirus in to protect others, but also protection against this poor air quality that were seeing and its become second nature, but for those who had hasnt in they refused to wear a mask. Well the Berkeley City Council they are putting their foot down saying they may decide to vote for a fine and be a 100 for those who decide that theyre not going to wear a mask is it is required here in berkeley. Just like it is across the state and in all the counties and cities of the bay area. But the Berkeley City Council they are putting their foot down as i said theyre saying if you refuse to wear a mask well maybe we will issue a citation 100 per day for the first violation with penalties that would increase for repeat violators, many other counties have already approved such measures to enforce mask wearing and prevent the spread of coronavirus wearing a face mask is already required in berkeley when stepping into a store waiting in line for Public Transportation going inside any workplace really while outside dining, especially when youre up to your table thats when you need to wear it as well as when youre walking running and biking outdoors and someone is within 30 feet of you its very similar to the language of San Franciscos rules and regulations. But now the city of berkeley wants to vote on whether they should find people are not that meeting is tonight at 6 oclock the hope this morning is to chat with people see how they feel because we are a little late in the game, its going to be interesting to see if people feel like its necessary at this point or if theres like sure slap a fine on people who still refuse to wear a mask so stay tuned, well check in with people here in berkeley now that the suns coming up people are finally waking up. But weve been away for a little bit longer james darya well send it back to you in the newsroom. Very good. Thank you sarah. Also in the east bay more vehicle based gatherings are now allowed in Alameda County they are updating on the health order so that Outdoor Church services and the like can actually i have more people attend in cars unit takes a look at how itll work. In the name of jesus. And the people of the Alameda County Public Health department updated covid19 order for vehicle based gatherings now permits live performances, including entertainment events like musicals theatrical an artistic performances, lectures presentations will be showings as well as religious and cultural ceremonies. The updated order also allows for events to have doubled the amount of vehicles and opened it from 200 to 400 cars in the parking lot i think it would be great. Although the Previous Health order allowed outdoor vehicle base Church Services lifting the 200 vehicle limit restriction is more than welcome news as Bishop Bob Jackson and thats will Gospel Church in oakland weve been on the parking lot weve been having Holy Communion services on for sunday. And it works out pretty well according to the health order occupants of the vehicle must be from the same household and must remain in the vehicle during the event they stay in the cause and for the most part they have the windows down they have to have their masks on. Bishop jackson views, religious service as essential in times like these he believes more should be done to allow opportunities for churches that do not have the space for Vehicle Service if we could get some kind of way to allow the church to be able to set up on vacant parking lot and we have plenty of them in oakland Alameda County all of them. The city on them theyre not being utilized or anything. Why cant we park those 400 cars on those large loss and have our services to hours later recon and. Everybodys list. Has it made you kron 4 news. Now to our wildfire coverage, thousands of firefighters continuing to fight dozens of fires that are burning all up and down the west coast at least 35 people have died and in california alone weve seen more than 3 million acres go up in smoke with more than 4200 structures burned to the ground smoke from these fires of course partly responsible for poor air quality all over the states the major wildfires burning in california right now include the august complex fire burning up in mendocino and humboldt counties the north complex fire burning in butte county the creek fire in Fresno County in the eldorado fire burning in Riverside County and all of them are under at this 0. 44 containment.

Ive got your tuesday forecast ahead. And your morning commute is already thinning out at the bay bridge toll plaza is actually improving on 80 into San Francisco look about not so bad right well check live look right now at walnut creek i thought thats it looks a promising in the it seems a little clearer but now it definitely does not do anything compared to this time i can only say even looks grey or you think so now 7. 14 it was yeah, yeah, i mean if you look theyre calling a map of the seats still says it were and poured unhealthy range is yeah i i. Its at least better than it was at the end of last week when everything was purple on the map so this is true or some were orange wednesday. Orange wednesday, yeah, good morning john as we know looks can be deceiving guys because orange wednesday we actually have moderate air quality and it only got worse from there. We do see improvements in some spots but the further inland you get generally the worse the air quality does become today. I mean theres some brightness making its way down to sfo look at that and for the first time in a while and actually see the top of San Bruno Mountain this also displays how air quality is worse lower you get as we look at smoke at the surface we had some stronger winds aloft yesterday that really cleaned up the air above us and thats why we saw some blue as youre looking up yesterday afternoon our best air quality is in portions of marine county and then right along the coastline. While the worse it gets the further inland you get especially over towards the sierra foothills where we still have active fires burning and that air quality over there is being affected by smoke settling into the eastern end of the Central Valley. Skies for the bay area little less foggy than they were yesterday that marine layer is not as deep as it was yesterday and we also saw some of those strong winds pushing in from the southwest really helping to clean up that air aloft so we made progress in air quality for upper elevations, obviously its still pour though so do avoid too much outdoor exposure. So we make our way through the rest of the week we will see a continued sweeping of some of this unhealthy air especially into thursday and friday. Winds to come this morning to see Much Movement at the surface you have to head up higher up and then you start to see those winds picking up and thats why the air quality is cleaner up there. 60s and 70s for coastal areas for daytime highs today as we move inland, daytime highs will rise into the 70s and 80s little warmer than they were yesterday woodside and saying carlos each in the low 80s today back to the low 80s in san Jose Campbell in saratoga just to name a few spots while the east bay also a similar range of 70s 80s for daytime highs. Just a few degrees warmer than yesterdays work. Oakland, brighter skies for you with a high at 74 today 70s 80s for the north bay with vacaville. Our closest spot to 90. Santa rosa through center fell all working our way back into the low 80s after yesterdays 70s. Not must much changes in temperatures wednesday and thursday from today. Im expecting thursday and friday to have your cleanest air thats because well have some sweeping winds pushing in from the southwest really cleaning up our air quality now saturday and sunday we get if you again winds, relax we still have wildfires burning in the sierra and theyre going to start putting smoke back down into the Central Valley that is eventually likely to defuse back our direction. You have to look at a whole lot of factors here when predicting what air quality is going to look like and with those winds relaxing we could actually work our way back a little bit as far as quality conditions go towards the latter half of the weekend. Robin. Thank you john lets head over to the Richmond Sandra fell because i just got word of a new crash, its leading up to the pay gates, so its sort of Holding Traffic back a little bit so lets take a look at the bridge itself west bound 5. 80 you see all it appears to be delay free will to crashes before you reach the pay gates only blocking one lane so its a little slow.

All right, thank you very much rob and a House Committee is considering calls for removing postmaster general louis dejoy from his office now the joys been accused of several conflicts of interest while running the post office. We washington dc correspondent Morgan Wright with a closer look. We have a crony at the helm of our nations postal service, virginia congressman Gerry Connolly says hes concerned about the leadership of postmaster general louis dejoy we know postal workers can handle the bottom of that election mill. The question is whether those at the helm are taking steps to hinder that capacity, new york congresswoman Carolyn Maloney says allegations dejoy reimburse former employees for political contributions, he urged them to make are serious problem if true these allegations are not only incredibly an ethical. They are illegal maryland congressman jamie raskin question why dejoy was even appointed to the job in the first place how did this happen. This was not a president ial appointment, so it didnt go through the office of government ethics and i think theres anyway the office of government ethics would have signed off on an agency had who has large amounts of stock in a company this contracting with the Agency Republicans on the committee defended enjoying called the hearing a waste of time were supposed to be having a postal update, not a single one of the witnesses even work for the usps georgia congressman jody hice called the hearing an attempt at political assassination.

Now once you head inland that begins to change a little bit youre definitely noticing more hayes out to our interior valleys of the bay, if you head out towards the Sierra Nevada air quality is just as bad as it has been but those sweeping winds from the southwest really helped our coastal areas out yesterday and so thats our coastal spots have seen some improvements, especially marine county this morning.

Some 45 right now want to check out the weather on a tuesday and see if its any better, lets find out john what he got a little better for a lot of areas but not necessarily for everyone this morning which weve been seeing in our web cams some of us still very hazy other bus actually getting a good dose of sunshine as youre somewhere in the middle of that there is some sunshine reaching the tarmac and a little bit of a view of San Bruno Mountain in the distance beyond San Bruno Mountain still some of our worst of air quality hanging out in San Francisco towards our inland areas look at some of our coastal spots, especially in the north bay nevado up 3 point raise Stinson Beach down into the are in headlines at least in portions of marine headlines. All looking at big improvements, some yellow at the coast in Half Moon Bay, too. All indicating moderate air quality and guess what thats the first time weve seen moderate conditions days now so we have made progress but you also have to know that still most of the bay at this point is puerto very pour so i want to talk about the good news. In perspective here were still not ideal and were still breaking records as far as. Prolonged spare the air alerts co tomorrow, its going to be 30 days of spare the air alerts and that means not good weather to be heading outside still today and tomorrow. Now skies are little clearer than yesterday because of less hayes aloft as well as less fog moving into the bay area one of the reasons that you are Getting Better conditions at the coast as well as a little bit more sunshine all across the bay as we had strong winds pushing across the region yesterday above the bay you didnt notice about the surface, but you head up to 1000 feet and those winds were breezy that really swept out the smoke that was hanging out above us and thats as you look up you see the blue skies but as you look at the horizon. You notice the haze still hanging out at the surface so were not all improved just yet winds out the surface remain calm this morning. So the haze has sunk in and is staying with us especially for inland valleys which have our worst air quality right now temperatures later on today will be in the 60s and 70s for coastal spots, similar areas that will have our better air quality the further inland, you get the warmer temperatures will become and the worse your air quality generally will be 70s and 80s for todays daytime highs in the south bay with san jose right at 80 degrees santa clara at 78 similar range of numbers for the east bay, too with those 70s and 80s Holding Strong from oakland at 74 to concord at 87 today, north bay as at 77 vacaville are hot spot at 88 degrees still no 90s in your 4 zone forecast today, were saving those for next week as for today and tomorrow, moderate air quality towards the coast very pour especially inland limit Outdoor Activity as much as possible thursday and friday, im expecting to be your best air quality days now why not this weekend. Well thursday and friday we do have those winds that are going to help our air quality in the bay area whole lot. Thing is once those winds stop we still have wildfires burning in the sierra that are still actively putting smoke up that settling into the Central Valley and will likely eventually drift back out to the bay, especially towards sunday. So well keep a close eye on the air quality on into the weekend. Robin. Thank you john lets head over to the Richmond Center fell bridge. We got rid of one crash leading up to the pay gates and now we have another one. This one is after the pay problem after problem here at the Richmond Sandra fell bridge.
