Hazier than others. Now, lets bring in darren peck. We use the sensors to see it. This is a view over the last few hours when you watch it. It will get towards sunset and that inversion becomes clear. You can see how the air is getting trapped in here. The weird set up is that the smoke is getting corraled. It is getting pull into the bay. Look at what happened over the last two hours, look at it, deeper shades of red, you see the pattern all right in through the golden gate within the last hour it shaded back into the unhealthy category. It is the benefit of using the lowcost sensor. There is a lot more of them than the official epa sensors they are higher grade, calibrated better, looked at by technicians regularly. Most of them are set up by people in their backyard. They are a great tool to see patterns like this. We are not out of this. When you look at what happened here is the smoke going back to noon today. See the deeper shades off of the coast. Watch the breeze. It is going to settle. Tomorrow. It is still here. We still have another air quality tomorrow. And saturday it is going to be better. Saturday the atmosphere will come back and we will pull in a stronger westerly flow that will blow all of the smoke out of here. Look at the improvement coming our way. Sets us up for the next issue. Monday, clear air. Actually has a chance of rain on it for some of us. Showing you the first rainmaker of fall, it will not get everybody, north bay area, a chance. We have seen the videos over and over again. This year alone 15,000 are here from the police. Under a new program that is what the police are using bait cars to try to catch thieves.

Reporter he sent a letter to a public hearing discussing how to combat the car break in problem organized by dean preston. The city has made no noticeable progress. Does not mean no progress. And in terms of reduction in car break ins and folks are frustrated. And visitors to our city are not only losing money and property but often left traumatized and with a very bad experience but denny tells me he wants more than conversations he says that this issue is not just impacting individuals. It is dammed if you do, dammed if you dont. Carry bags with you, you are a target. Put stuff in your trunk you will get broken into. For a lot of people it is easier to shop on line. Maybe i dont have to go down to that store and park and possibly be broken into and have it shipped home. This is a battle for him. Originally from canada. At the end of the day i am hopeful, on my break i will go for a walk in Golden Gate Park. Beautiful, i am reminded why i love San Francisco. Then i see a broken car window and i get frustrated again.

Selling shoes while cautioning customers about the challenges out there as he clings to hope that the city he cherishes will, once again, find itself way.

Going to learn a lot from you now in the next couple of minutes thinking about recruiting people for a council here. Kpix fox, no, Something Like that. We would go with different branding no. Yes. The smoke is the top story. Yes, smoke. You have been talking about that and teasing saturday and a chance for rain. Saturday, the air improves, then, monday, a chance of rain. Here is what is going on with the smoke and why we got hit as bad as we did. This afternoons highresolution that is the plume of smoke responsible for all of this. Coming off of the smith river complex. Burning up there for months. Look at what happens to it. See how it goes down the coast there . It is like it is getting corraled. And then driven down the freeway. If we visualize it differently i will show you what the winds have been doing. You can see what is going on. Strong northwesterly winds on the coast. The deep slades of purple, getting the strongest. That is why they were hit like this. Once the smoke is brought down here, you see the flow. Coming into the bay every day. That is why we were seeing the air go downhill once again over the last two hours at the golden gate. That is when the flow picks up. The fog, it starts to come in. The winds are noticeable. That is why we are hit so hard. Look at what happens over the next two days. The wind is going to die down. It will be replaced by much stronger westerlies out here. Going to take the smoke plume, watch it from now through saturday. Eventually it gets blown out from the east. That is why saturday is the tease ahead to the good news the air quality will improve then. Lets take a look at a chance of rain. Friday, tomorrow night. It is the start of fall. The equinox going to happen before midnight tomorrow. Right on queue heading into monday look at what is coming out of the pacific. That is a goodlooking storm. That is where it is on sunday. Lets skip ahead. We will lose a little resolution to go longrange and and in for a closer look. Here is the best visualization for how the rain is likely to hold together and make it to our neck of the woods right here. This is now monday morning. That looks impressive. It falls apart. What we do get is a southern tail end right here. So, now we are taking a look ahead towards monday evening. That is where we get a little bit of rain. This is exactly what the early systems of fall look like around here. You just get the southern tail of it. I dont want to tease too far downtheline. There are three more like coming after this one in the longrange forecast. None of them this far south. The next two come close. It is a good sign. We are starting to see the atmosphere to fall. It looks like it wants to at least stay with the possibility that it rains here that time of the year. Even though it will not be a big rainmaker for us, we will look at it with more details in just a second. Where the it matters, where it starts the conversation. We are about to get two inches of rain on that. So, i dont know it puts the fire out completely. It will help in any case. It is going to be the end of the smoke plume. So, once we clear out on saturday then the rain comes on sunday into monday and stops the smoke and at least from that one we dont have to be concerned about more smoke. It will be better around here. Does not mean there will not be another fire. That one, good news. In terms of the rain here at home. 59th of an inch of rain for santa rosa. Maybe. That is it. Not much farther south. Tomorrows day time highs, air quality. Just like today. That is when we got first alert for tomorrow. Another air quality advisory tomorrow. Everything you are doing to go easy on yourself have to do it for one more day. Next chance of rain, see it, monday, you are not getting out of the 60s. San jose you may notice clouds on monday. No rain in the forecast. Inland east bay, a chance, not much. If you are going to get rain at the coast it will be north of the golden gate. Back to you. All right, thank you very much.
