from the home into the community. so they were allowed to come through at this particular point. you can see the horizon not as smoky as it was yesterday, but the breeze certainly picking up at this particular time. and it appears that is a resident allowed to come back through. fortunately, they still have homes intact. as far as what's going on today, it is hot, but they hope to make more progress like they did yesterday. right now, the acres 1200. so it has not gone up. at least not significantly. let me show you video from yesterday. the firefighters still continue to attack it from the sky as well as the ground. 400 firefighters altogether about 10 bulldozers. they actually declared a state of emergency for this location, allowing the local politicians here to tap into state and federal resources. today. the biggest concern will be the winds.

yesterday afternoon now grown to 10,000 acres and there's no containment. the national weather service says that smoke is now moving towards the bay area from this fire and with some major wildfires burning across the state might start to see more smoke drifting into the bay area. exposure to wildfire. smoke can cause some serious health concerns. the national weather service says wildfire smoke is a mix of gases and fine particles from burning vegetation and other materials. some common symptoms coughing, wheezing, and trouble breathing. but more severe symptoms. stinging eyes are rapid heartbeat, chest pain, and maybe an asthma attack. so too, prevent these health conditions from happening. the national weather service and the red cross recommends you stay indoors and keep the windows closed. also keep your pets inside too. it's also really important for using air conditioning to make sure you keep the outdoor air intake closed and clean your filter to prevent the smoke from getting inside. also use portable air cleaner, avoid

lighting candles, fireplaces and gas stoves. and if you have to go outside, maybe wear an n 95 9, 100 mask. you can always go to the center for disease control's website to check on air quality in your neighborhood as we monitor these wildfires and stay with us here on air and online on kron 4 dot com. as we're working to keep you updated on the latest wildfire evacuation orders, the number of acres burned and containment just scan this qr code on your screen right now and we'll take you to a wildfire section on our website. let's find out what's happening with the weather outside right now with a live look outside here at the embarcadero in san francisco. meteorologist kyla grogan in the weather center with the conditions and looks hazy behind you. that's right. it is hazy and it's all about whether it's mixing down to the surface. we are seeing that in some places. it will take a look at the air quality to second. but i want to start with temperatures to say that. >> going to be very similar to yesterday, maybe a couple degrees warmer in the inland spots. you can see where the warmest spots right now, our inland in the low 80's. so not

too bad. now, as far as air quality is concerned, not surprisingly, we're seeing some of these yellow dots that are showing up in the north bay, the east bay all across the peninsula and down into the south bay. and that is because some of the smoke that has been blowing with that northerly direction that was in a place like yesterday and also overnight. now the good news is we are going to see that start to change direction as we get throughout our afternoon right now, you can see still that kind of north northwesterly flow in most spots. san francisco sitting at about 15 miles per hour. but as we get to the afternoon and the sea breeze kicks in, it's all going to be about the onshore flow. and this is the difference that will make. this is basically a forecast for the w nd combined with some of the smoke. and you can see as we get to the afternoon, once we start to get that westerly push, it's going to start to make this move away from some of the populated areas in the bay area. now, obviously, tomorrow, you know, it going to start to see a little bit of a swirl there. but it looks like at this point we are seeing the worst of it, of course, has everything to do with how much containment they're able to get on the fire. what happens with it

should be watching under the conditions a little bit better for containing the fly me today are and the one that we are going to have not northerly or northwesterly wind but onshore flow, but still wind of any kind is a concern. 6 wanted to kind of i look at all of this, right? so the largest one. >> post fire in los angeles. we talked about this yesterday. now. 24% containment over 15,000 acres. now if we head up to collusive county, that's where the site's fire is. 10,000 acres. 0 1% containment right now. calaveras county would be. there's county would be the% arrow fire. that's over 5,000 acres or 20%. containment. and the point fire up in sonoma county, 1200 acres 12, 0, 7, and now 40% containment, which obviously much better than we had yesterday. we're at 20%. so let's start with the point fire because that is where some of the smoke is coming from. that is headed into the bay area today that you're starting to see all that haze in the sky and the conditions there. now they're in the low 80's. we've got wind out of the northwest. it is mostly less than 10 miles per hour. so that is some good news. and as i mentioned, this wind is

going to shift directions. so while we've been dealing with a northwesterly flow, we're now going to see an onshore flow as we get into the afternoon, you can see that it's our sea breeze, right? so what it does is a couple of things. number one kicks up the wind. that's not great. but it's bringing in a cooler moister air mass and that is great. and it's also going to help to usher in that marine layer. so some high clouds expected across today in the afternoon. and as we get into the evening in the late night hours, you do start to see that marine layer start to build back in and tomorrow morning. that means we wake up a little fog now. does all of this make it as far to where those fires are? no, not necessarily. but it does help those relative humidity levels a little bit. as you can see. you know, we're here in the 10's in teens up where that fire is in sonoma county. and even as we come down into the bay area yesterday, we're down in single digits. this is how dry it is out there. livermore right now. just a 15% humidity. so that means that, you know, any fire that starts can spread easily. and that is not a great position to be. and so hopefully we'll get those relative humidity levels

back up as we get into tomorrow. that will help the firefighters out a lot. we're also gonna catch a little break on our temperatures. you can see wednesday and thursday dropping down a little bit before we warm up again. this is livermore's example were saturday. we're expecting about 95 degrees. so i do think that the next 48 hours are going to be good for our firefighters as far as the potential for getting more containment and then we'll see how we go as we get into the weekend where we're at tnd we start to see that warm-up on the way. back to you. >> thank you. and take a look at this right here. this is what about 160 pounds of fireworks. looks like east palo alto. police say they seized this after getting a report about a group of kids shooting roman candles at each other. police say that this happened last week near an apartment complex and that the kids were hitting not only each other, but also buildings, cars, carports and other people. police cited in the adult and a teen the next day. and fire officials are reminding everyone about the dangers of using illegal

>s live look outside here across the golden gate bridge looking out towards the north, a little breezy, according to flag. that's there. we'll check in with cuyler see what's happening outside today. hey there. yes, obviously we're keeping an eye on all the wildfires throughout the state. there are many of them, some of them very large, that one in southern california over 15,000 acres. and as we take a look at how the weather is affecting things today, obviously the air-quality is not great, but the wind is set to help us out a little bit in northern california when we start to see our afternoon sea breeze coming, it's going to start to push some of that more hazy air away from us. you might say, well, you know, it looks like it's not too bad. sometimes it doesn't mix all the way down to the surface. and you just see that haze in the sky. but the surfaces where those sensors are and things will still be in a pretty decent. so we've been seeing some of those yellows pop-up temperatures are also a little warmer today. this is the difference in temperatures between 24 hours ago and now it's certainly can see inland. we're running 5 to 7 degrees warmer than we were even more than that down in san jose.

but obviously the haze is the thing today that you notice when you take a look outside temperatures right now, you can see inland. we're in those low 80's. we're in the 60's in san francisco, oakland, in the low 70's and out in half moon bay, where i'm starting to see a little bit of marine layer, president's pop-up. they are in the 50's. so this is what i was talking about with the wind changing direction. so we've been dealing with kind of a northerly northwesterly flow this afternoon. it will be all about that westerly push and what that does is push smoke away from us here in the bay area because up to now, we've been getting kind of that direction from the north and the northwest pushing it down into the bay area. so that's going to help as we get into the next 24 hours. also this afternoon, i do expect to see the wind pick up here in and around where the fire is up in the north bay. but right now you can see we're still seeing under about 10 miles per hour. i'm starting to see a little shift there in healdsburg says southwest everyone showing that northwesterly wind. so here is the fog cast because we have few clouds coming through this afternoon. but here's about 11:30pm, tonight.

and there's a marine layer building back in bringing in that cooler moister air mass. that should help a little bit with those humidity levels as we get into tomorrow. now tomorrow, we'll also see a cooler temperature profile by about 3 or 4 degrees. and you see the difference there. thursday is our first day of summer will start to pick up a little bit then. but the warm-up really peaks as we get into saturday, expecting inland spots to get upwards to about 95 degrees. so mid 90's, back to you. all right. now on thursday, the san francisco giants in the st. louis cardinals will play at rickwood field birmingham, alabama. it's the oldest professional ballpark in the united states. >> the mlb says both teams will wear special jerseys in honor san francisco legend willie mays reporter amy high takes a look now at the preparations. >> the welcome sign is posted in the st. louis cardinals take on the san francisco giants at rickwood field on thursday. the tribute game will honor hall of famer willie mays, a birmingham
