layers of smoke and haze that is visible. that's why the district has extended the air quality advisory today, due to that smoke from the flat fire while the air quality at the surface is expected to remain good to moderate. you will notice that that smoke up around southwest oregon from the flat fire is still funneling into our area as you look at the visible satellite picture, and that fire has grown in intensity, so we do have poor air quality in ukiah right now. good moderate elsewhere. watch as you will notice that smoke continuing to drift in a loft. i would not be surprised if the air district extends that air quality advisory through tomorrow. a spare the air alert has been issued for your friday as harder weather is expected. moderate to poor air quality for your friday. saturday is moderate. sunday, good air quality. i will be back with those temperatures for tomorrow, the weekend, plus an look at when

weather is not in the extreme category. take a look at the national picture. all areas from the west coast to the southern tier states under'n advisory or excessiv watch or warning, it is hot weather. w visit summer, but this is extreme. 119° in phoenix, and as morgan talked about, dangerous and extreme. 102 in boise, 106, laredo, texas, as you will notice. really hot weather across much of the u.s. 80's around here. 90's in the reno area, in las vegas. as we checked out and live view from our sfo camera, it is a little hazy out there. temperatures in our hotspots. 97 in livermore, 94 in santa rosa. looking at the view from our golden gate bridge camera, it was pretty fogged in the last few hours, but is it starting to

break out into sunshine. running warmer than where we were yesterday at this time. san jose, 85, and 57 in half moon bay, whereas some fog is still lingering. over the next two days, we will continue to see temperatures remain in that triple digit category with his high pressure from the desert, expanding west a little bit more, so do expect the hottest day to be tomorrow for inland communities. santa cruz is a nice place to escape. you can see blue skies and people enjoying the beach in the summertime. mild along the coast with the night and morning fog. relief from that heat arrives sunday and monday. 5:00 this evening, some fog near the coast line where it is in the 50's, but inland areas will be in the 90's. 7:00 p.m., still pretty warm. while inland areas start out mild along with the hills, the coast will be pretty much cool with fog. by noon time, you are warming up quickly. inland areas will pop up into the triple digits.

day and then closer to average midweek, but really, the risk here is moderate for the bay area -- heat risk, that is, with temperatures well above average, i think people just have to get acclimated and take some heat precautions. kristen: yeah, there are health risks. sandhya: absolutely. with nexgard chews. the protection that's #1 with dogs.
