still hanging on to a couple areas in the 60s. fairfield. and also, in concord. now, the winds are shifting. and that's what's going to get the smoke out of bay area. but right now, they are calm. and so, we are going to see the sea breeze increase over the next few days. and that will help push the smoke out. now, yesterday, we had all the winds coming from the east. so that pushed the smoke out to the coast. so it's going to take a while to get all that smoke out of the way. once again, here is a look at the smoke forecast. so midnight, tonight, we're still under quite a bit of smoke. you can see more is the pink. and less is the blue. and then, tomorrow, we'll still be slowly improved by tomorrow afternoon. hopefully, we will see less smoke right around the bay and it will continue to improve into tuesday. notice, we'll be more in the light blue area. so less smoke there. and look at this. this is the clearer air, here, that is heading towards the bay area. so wednesday should be looking

good as well. so we've got one more spare-the-air day tomorrow. overnight lows will be in the zy day with temperatures belowt normal for this time of year. so, at the coast, look for mid-60s. san francisco, 67. around the bay, we'll see lots of 70s. oakland, 70. fremont, 75. san jose, 78. and then, we will see hazy skies as well inland, with temperatures moving up to the mid-80s for some areas. so here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. we have another spare-the-air day tomorrow. the 28th consecutive day. unhealthy air quality expected. but then, we expect moderate air quality. should be safe to head outside tuesday. temperatures come up a little bit. and then, thursday, notice we cool down, especially inland, by friday, as a system moves to the north bringing us a slight chance of rain, especially to the northern part of california.
