Reporter founded by a dozen firefighters in the 1970s, the firebird grade drew to over 50 members in the 80s and 90s, but the numbers are down again. Last last january, the colorado fired the closure of highway 1, and prove that fire seasons here are now practically yearround. Its a needle in a haystack to get people to come volunteer. Volunteer. Reporter the department is g on thanks to a core group of fis like fabian perez, who leaves his pay job as a big sur contrar to answer emergency calls. I volunteer because i wantedo help my community. Reporter the population of big sur is about 2000 residents, 2000 residents, but on any gived or holiday, the number could swl to up to 10,000 people.

Yup, and thats now taking over, like, everywhere. Is there anything to suggests may change a bit . Maybe. By about the end of next week. By about, by about ty of next week, well start to see see a change. But this has been going on since late september. We have been in fog october the whole month, and this is the time of year this can happen. But really not for the whole mo, and not as widespread as its been. This has been great news, because were not talking about fire weather. Havent had any rd flag warnings this month in california, and this is the month when we typically get the most. So if the gray is startino get to you, and, you know, were know, were not partial here ony or the other. But if its bugging you, just know what the tradeoff is. This is actually worked out fantastic for us. Theres the marine layer comingt sure about the golden gate brid, but what what happens if you goo in the contra costa county, and we had a great Vantage Point from the top of mount diablo looking out over concord above this stuff. Thats how far inland its gotten already. This already. This is going to overtake the entire bay area, and itll probably spread into t of the Sacramento Valley to did this morning. Again, this is pretty impressive any time of year for the marine layer to be this robust. Looking over a gray gray bay. So you can kind of see see the extent, and its already already kind of creeping its way way in. We just all that from the cameras Vantage Point. This this has been a pretty big impact on temperatures today. We today. We are in the 60s just about everywhere. But i think what tells the story about those those numbers is how different they are from exactly this time. Its a big change in 24 hours. Were 12 to 15 degrees cooler over here where those clouds are are now rushing in for the inland east bay. Were about right in line in the immediate , so it didnt change also that much, and the reason why were so much cooler over here is not just the clouds, but the wind thats bringing it in. Its a strong onshore breeze, a 30 mile mile an hour and a test. And you you can see the classic the venture there as the wind squeezed through the delta. It can get breezy d. So tomorrows to be pretty much just like thi. Itll be a little bit cooler, perhaps, then today, on the daytime highs, and you can see the marine layer, which is already building back. We wake p tomorrow morning, its everywhere. We might get some light mist out of this along the the coast. Its possible we can even get some patchy fog. Done that over the last couple of mornings, this morning, but we did friday, and the morning before that. So start thinking ahead 40 or early sunday morning. If you can be on the road before, like, 9 00 in the morning tomorrow, especially in the north bay, you might encounter some fog. Savages in the mid50s to start the day tomorrow. Daytime highs relatively cool, mid70s inland and upper 60s along the bayshore. Going to be just like today. And in the sevenday forecast, theres that warmup. Look towards here. When we get to the mid70s on wednesday, that might be a day where we stt to break the fog october a little bit. The 74 is what october should feel like in the city, anyway. And you see that warmup really fell for the inland east valley. Its going to be thredey 90bybyonst but it next weekend. All right, giannae over to you. T. Welcome back. Lets start ofh a little dublin the warriors wrapping up the preseason last night. Theyll get their Championship Rings tuesday night, but today, they backed ur a couple of their young stars. Money time indeed. Poole and the the dubbed agreed to a fouryear fouryear contract extension worth 123 million guaranteed, and they did not stop there. Andrew wiggins, hes agreed to a a four year extension of his own. Thats worth 109 million. , todays deal pushes the payrollr 200 million next season, but alo sets up the dubs to keep this one going for years to come. Its got to be the most unique mix of young talent mixed mixed with old veterans that you you possibly have ever seen, and and these arent just decent young players. These guys have incredible potential, so it gets, i think, everybody excite. So youre probably thinking, what about Draymond Green . Welle is not expected to get a new contract before tuesday, and could be the odd man out when the warriors eventually have to show some financial restraint with the luxury tax penalties. All right, lets talk a little baseball right now. Charlie mortons face, yeah, says it all all for the braves. It was all silly the last two days. J. T. Realmuto drives one to center, s it off the wall, and it gets by michael harris. He looks for inside, and then the touchdown yeah, the phillies win 83. They knock out the defending champs and move on to the n. L. N. L. Cs. Robs entrance, well, that mightve been the only highlighf the first half in boulder. Cal trailed col
