5:21 am
cooler, and today we'll start that cooling trend but limited at the coast. there's dense fog there along the golden gate bridge, live doppler 7 and you can see to the east of us, that is smoke. temperatures all over the place with really warm numbers around los gatos and 72 in clear lake, and obviously here at the coast it's 76 in san francisco, 61 in hayward. and there is smoke in our inland east bay with limited visibility. here's a kurncurrent check of o winds. up to 28 miles an hour st. helena, mt. st. helena and also at mt. tam, very breezy north winds. as we go through the next several hours they will dial back a little bit, but by the afternoon again pretty gusty out there. 3 mile visibility in hayward, and that is due to the smoke. 8 miles up in napa. here's a look at santa cruz, it is 56 degrees and we are looking at the haze out there.
5:22 am
so our forecast highlights the gusty winds certainly a concern out there for the elevated fire danger throughout the day today. cooler weekend, but still smoky especially in the north and east bay. our spare the air alert lasting until tuesday, is then looking at our rain chances into next weekend. current air quality look at all the reds out there from the central valley, through vackaville, otherwise we're not doing too bad this morning. as we get a bit closer here to santa cruz, certainly smoky along the central coast. the winds, this is what we're concerned about. as we look at the wind gust throughout the morning hours, you'll notice they're out of the northwest. and here we are by the afternoon, 12 to 24 miles an hour here. and as we get through the rest of the day they continue to be quite breezy to gusty in the north bay from point raes to point st. helena. in terms of the smoke things getting a little bit better with that northwesterly wind clearing the coast out.
5:23 am
a lot of smoke from the fires south there, and the wind direction -- so another day of hazy conditions for you while some of us will clear on out. but the trend will be for less wind, less northerly wind and more of an onshore push. this is what we're looking forward to. here comes wednesday. remnants of tropical storm marie, these two are going to link up, and by thursday we could see some precip to the north of us and hopefully spreading over the bay area into next weekend. so that would certainly be a bonus and help out in the bay area. and our inland east bay with low 90s for you in concord and livermore, 74 in san francisco. still those hazy conditions especially in the east bay and north bay, those north winds kind of throughout the day. it was this morning but then again this afternoon. 93 in morgan hill. more fog tonight. our accuweather forecast our
