was that we don't actually know what the smoke does to the ecosystems. >> the study suggests that thick smoke from large fires can lead to lower water temperatures and decreased oxygen for wildlife in the water. but scientists say more research still needs to be done before drawing any long term conclusions. >> all right, let's go to our chief meteorologist, bill martin. now for another look at the forecast. >> but yeah, as we get closer to summer now we've got weather that's starting to feel like it. except the fog is missing right now. the fog went away. give us some temperatures like these today. we start off with fog this morning, by the way. but then the fog in the last six hours or so is sort of vaporized and gone away. so it's going to be a little warmer along the coast and inland tomorrow. so these highs that you're looking at here are going to warm up by a couple of degrees. everybody i think san francisco goes into the mid 60s. tomorrow pacifica will go to the low 60s. so these areas warm up. is it going to be real hot. it's going to be warmer for sure. but it's not going to be i wouldn't say real

hot. it upper 80s low 90s on wednesday and thursday and maybe a little into friday, especially on thursday and friday. but again, where's the fog? right. so golden gate bridge, beautiful shot tonight. and usually this time of year with sea surface temperatures where they are and conditions, you know, the day, length of day and whatever you would expect. fog. right. this is a time of year. you get it and it's not there. and that's just because the pacific high is not as anchored as it typically is this time of year. as a matter of fact, it's kind of been pushed back to the west. and that's why the fog is able to form. this low has been kind of hanging out there, but it's going to click through. and then as we go into tomorrow, but especially thursday, friday, it's going to warm up as the winds go slightly offshore and continue to suppress the fog. so what's it all mean? it means a little warmer tomorrow, but not huge. big warm up unless you're at the coast but inland. the thirst on thursday and friday you'll notice significant warming. you'll notice into the mid and upper 80s, as opposed to the mid and low 80s, a

significance. it's all subtle stuff, i guess. so fog tomorrow night is gone. fog thursday morning is gone. fog. thursday evening is gone. and then it comes back as the high starts to sort of reestablish its its ability to reform the fog. and so as you look at the forecast highs for tomorrow, you can see that there they are a little warmer than today. certainly antioch is up from 83 to 86. there's three degrees fairfield warms of four degrees. and then the five day forecast. so fire danger. we had a couple stories down down the santa barbara area with a little fire. so fire danger is not huge. but it is that time of year. we got to pay attention. i will see you back here tomorrow night. all right bill, we'll see you soon. >> thank you. some tenants were able to return home today after the emergency evacuation of the oak grove senior terrace in oakley over the holiday weekend. >> the management team had arranged hotel stays for all residents who needed them. they also worked with the residents to retrieve personal items from their apartments, and in some cases, personally drove them to their hotels. late sunday
