it's a combination of ama and dan.nyhow, let's move along and take a look at what's going on with our weather right now. the satellite radar composite image shows a rather brisk onshore flow, which has helped keep our air quality really good here in the bay area. despite the smoke from the fires over in the northern sacramento valley. so right now we're looking at calmer wind, but it's been a steady flow all day and things are pretty pleasant outside right now. here's a view from mount tam looking down onto the bay. we haven't seen a deep marine layer forming yet, but a little bit. little by little it's developing 57 degrees in san francisco right now. we have low to mid 60s at oakland, hayward, san jose, redwood city and 57 at half moon bay. the view in emeryville, nice and calm and clear as well. other temperature readings at this hour. looking northward. santa rosa 5855 at petaluma. napa 59 and low to mid 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. and as we look across the embarcadero from our rooftop camera, these ar
