francisco. it's not just about saving money. good afternoon. i'm christine xie. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. you can see from our abc7 tower cams that there is still a lot of haze out there in the air. >> yeah. let's get right to abc seven news meteorologist sanjay patel for the very latest sandhya. >> yeah and kristen and dan, let's take a look at a live picture right now from our sutro tower camera. and as dan mentioned, yeah, we do have a lot of haze and smoke still lingering across the region. spare the air alert has been extended through tomorrow. poor air quality today. tomorrow we go moderate to poor. and as we take a look at the air quality right now, we do have most areas in that moderate category. oakland is poor for sensitive groups and there are a few spots in the north bay that are actually in the good category. so we go hour by hour with the smoke forecast and you will notice that that smoke is still lingering later on tonight, tomorrow morning, we get a little more concentrated smoke and then it starts to filter through the region as we head towards the weekend. things will improve. red flag warning for

the entire bay area. that was i should say, for the north bay hills that was in effect, has been dropped. we still have it for solano county until 5 p.m. because of the gusty winds in the low humidity. but you will notice our winds have really dropped off. we had gusts of 50, 52 miles an hour in the hills and humidity values have come up right now. mount saint helena, 71, which helps to lessen the fire danger. i'll be back with a look at what fall will bring in just a few minutes. >> dan? okay, sandhya, thanks a lot. p-g-and-e's is issuing a warning that it may have to cut off power today and tomorrow in the bay area. it would affect only a handful of customers in napa county. but power could be shut off for more than 5000 customers in seven other counties outside of the bay area to protect against wildfire. >> now back to that poor air quality due to smoke from distant fires. just how concerned should you be about the smoke in the air? abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley looks into what some of those numbers mean and why. it's about more than just smelling the smoke, looking west from the

oakland hills, the smoke still obscures views of the bridges in the city. >> looking east mount diablo still shrouded in dense, smoky air. >> there's just a big plume of smoke and it's, you know, kind of, you know, dropping to ground level where unfortunately, we're all likely to sort of encounter it as we breathe an aqi above 150 affects everyone, even healthy individuals, according to the director of the uc davis center for health and the environment, the difficulty and the problem that exists, whether you can smell the smoke or not, is the presence of those particles that are easily being taken into your lungs with each breath that you take. >> the wildfire smoke may be from distant fires, but the particulates in the smoke are still very damaging. once they lodge in your lungs and produce inflammation and damage to cells, the transport of these particles from wildfires, as you've mentioned, can occur over hundreds of miles of distance.

>> and in the transport of those particles, they can also undergo different kinds of chemical changes that can potentially increase their toxicity even simply walking around outside in pieces. >> the particles you're breathing in, especially if that aqi is above 150, like it's been a lot of the week. so pay attention if you've got some nose or throat irritation, definitely monitor aqi, maybe even wear a mask. >> we're hoping that we'll see some improvements and maybe the air quality will drop down into the good to sort of moderate range starting on saturday. but we definitely are expecting, you know, air quality standards to be exceeded today and tomorrow in the east bay. >> i'm leslie brinkly, abc7 news. >> now experts say if you look at air quality maps, you'll notice a discrepancy between the number of sensors reporting readings in lower income communities and those in more affluent ones.

>> yeah, some groups are working to change that. abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez has a look at their efforts. bright line defense has 19 monitors like this one tracking the air quality in four san francisco neighborhoods, including the tenderloin and south of market. >> we had the opportunity to do these community input meetings with particularly sro tenants, single room occupancy tenants that live in the tenderloin mission district and also throughout eastern san francisco and ask them where they would like these air quality sensors sited so that then they would know whether it's safe to go outside or not. >> executive director eddie on tells me they started this tracking in 2020 because of the wildfires. then today, residents can check the data online in real time and they're seeing the impact from these current wildfire hours. >> air quality has gotten significantly worse, unfortunately, particularly in eastern san francisco. >> groundwork richmond has given out more than 20 purple air sensors similar to this one to

residents as part of their air rangers program. if you look at the air quality map, particularly with purple air sensors, as you can see, there is a discrepancy of where the air sensors are being deployed and they are in more affluent neighborhoods. >> and so typically, where the air quality is the worst is where there is a huge lack of sensors. >> the groundwork. richmond vows to keep giving out sensors, and they also have some in public spaces, as brightline defense is working with the bay area air quality management district on distributing 50 air filtration units. you can go to their websites for more information and to see the air quality data . live in the newsroom, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> well, you can certainly check the air quality anytime using our online interactive tracker. the tool also shows you where fires are burning. ju check it out on abc7 news.com. we put it on the home page to make it easy for you to find it right now. all right. >> let's move now to developing news in the east bay. two people are dead following a shooting at

an automotive service center on east shore highway. abc7 news reporter hunza hassan has been following the story today and just got an update from police in the last 30 minutes or so. sir, what are you hearing? >> dan good evening. yeah, we were just able to confirm with alameda county sheriff's office that a female employee was shot and killed here and that a male suspect also died on scene. we still don't know the relationship between the two, if any. you can see behind me the dealership remains closed. berkeley police say when its officers arrived on scene, there was an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. here's how events played out. >> possible active shooter. it's going to be in albany. we do have a gsw victim. >> car was car shot. car looked like down. we got one detained. now earlier today, there was a massive police response. >> berkeley pd, albany police, alameda county sheriff's office, even uc berkeley pd. as you

heard, berkeley police evacuated the toyota dealership before entering. here's how berkeley police pio jessica perry explained when officers arrived on scene, officers entered the building located a victim, encountered a suspect and an exchange of gunfire. >> fire occurred. at this time, the berkeley police department. it has been determined at this time that the berkeley police department was involved in an officer involved shooting involving multiple officers from the berkeley police department. >> now the dealership remains closed. berkeley police want to emphasize that there is no current threat to the community. reporting live on san hassan, abc seven news. >> the chp has given us new details on a fatal collision involving a highway patrol officer who hit and killed a pedestrian in san mateo. it happened at 10:00 last night on the eastbound lanes of highway 92 at delaware street. the pedestrian ran onto the highway

and was hit by a chp cruiser that was transporting a suspected dui driver back to the station. the pedestrian died. the chp says they are reviewing the onboard cameras as part of the investigation into what happened. >> they feel bad for everyone involved, including the in custody that had to be in the right front passenger passenger seat that saw that we're taking steps to make sure not only to conduct a thorough investigation , but to make sure we treat it with the respect it deserves. >> neither the chp officer nor the detainee was hurt in the collision. the victim's name has not yet been released. >> all right. let's move on now to other things you already know. it's pricey living in the bay area, but now some tech entrepreneurs are becoming pod people living in these tiny pods to sacrifice comfort for their startups. abc7 news reporter loose pena spoke with a group of founders giving up luxury for their future lives. >> that's right. dan founders who are moving to san francisco

are struggling with the idea of having to pay over $3,000 for an apartment here. instead, they're investing that money into their companies and renting a sleeping pod for $700 a month. it's small , but it's all part of the sacrifice. that's what a group of ai founders are telling themselves. when they pay $700 a month to rent a sleeping pod in san francisco. well, the pod is the size of a twin bed, so it's not very large, but it gets the job done right. >> it's enough. you just need a place to sleep. >> how many hours do you get sleeping? >> like eight hours. i get a good i get a good rest. i mean, it gets a little toasty in the pod, but, i mean, it's like i sleep fine. >> christian, louis took these photos from inside his pod a week ago. he moved to the city from illinois to keep growing his ai company. i actually pushed off coming to san francisco for a really long time, but it's been absolutely net positive, without a doubt. >> like just within the first couple of days i met some of the smartest people i've met in my entire life. so that's the reason i came and that's the

reason i'm staying and that's the reason why i'm living in a pod. >> one of louis sleeping pod neighbors moved to san francisco a month ago from canada. all so for i, it's much, much better to have a diverse group of people that you can work with that can help bounce off ideas, brainstorm, and actually be able to make something that's probably a little bit more reliable. these founders say that's what they're finding in san francisco, a community who's building the latest ai companies. >> it's just more of a place to meet people that are ready to get their hands dirty and get actually get down and work. >> also inside their building, they have counted about 20 people renting sleeping pods, with many being ai founders or people who are working in the space. >> everybody here knows each other. and so everybody can kind of introduce you to other people like smart engineers, investors and they're not wrong. >> san francisco is a hub for artificial intelligence. >> san francisco is the ai capital of the world because of the 20 top chip companies anywhere in the world, eight are right here in san francisco. >> we showed mayor breed what

these founders are doing. so this is it would you live in a place like this? you do what you can when you know you have a product that's going to make it so that you don't necessarily have to live at a place like that for the rest of your life. for these two founders, the sacrifice is worth it. at the end of the day, they're not staying in these pods. the whole day. they're working in the common areas and networking and sacrificing now so i can build a better life in the future. >> i'm in my 20s, so it's probably worth doing that. then when i have kids and san francisco is hosting its second ai conference this year on november 15th, bringing to san francisco about 350 of the leading founders and investors of this space to the city in the newsroom, luis pena, abc seven news. >> very interesting. okay, louis, thanks a lot. a major freeway is set to close for the weekend. what you need to know before you hit the road. the celebrity chef city leaders hope will help revive san francisco's union square and some best selling authors now targeting artificial intelligence. the

some points on the field, hoping to be better against the giants . >> obviously, the as a quarterback, you want to play perfect. is that you know you know a real thing like can you play perfect? i don't know. you know you're going to mess up. obviously but for myself, it's like, man, i hold myself to a standard. this whole offense, this team holds ourselves to a certain standard and it's something that, you know, you learn from but not dwell on and let it affect your game. moving forward. >> when we drafted him, i'm like, what the heck? why are we drafting a quarterback in the last pick of the draft? you know, they obviously saw something in him that they felt like he was a 40 niner from the jump. so you know, you could just tell he had the right makeup. >> so a couple of key injuries to talk about. first for the giants, their star tailback, saquon barkley, sprained his ankle on sunday. he's a no go. that is a huge loss for their offense for the niners. brandon aiyuk who's been their best receiver so far this season he's out with a shoulder injury and that's part of the problem when

by sunday, it'll be good for all of the bay area. right now, i want to show you the weather for the niners home opener against the new york giants. 75 degrees tonight at 515. hazy sunshine at times 63. later on tonight. so the weather is going to be cooperating for the game as we take a look at the winds right now, the onshore winds have picked up, gusting to 30 in napa. that's going to help temporarily improve, improve the air quality. as you will notice from our sfo camera, the winds blowing the trees around. here's a look at that air quality forecast. so spare the air continues through tomorrow, saturday we go good to moderate notice. sunday and monday. it's good air quality across the entire region. so we did have gusty winds earlier in the hills . those winds have subsided. this area of low pressure definitely starting to move on out of here in the next couple of days. certainly has been bringing some precipitation to the sierra high elevation snow as well. as we take a look at a

live picture from our san rafael camera, the wind is blowing things around, but you can notice that haze still in the air, 67 in san francisco. it's in the low 70s really comfortable. from oakland to mountain view, 78. in san jose, 75 in palo alto. and from our san jose camera, we are still noticing the smoke overhead and mid 70s novato santa rosa, 71. in napa. you're at 80 degrees in fairfield. one of our warmer spots, 75 in concord and 78 in livermore. one other live picture from our walnut creek camera. there's hope. you've seen a little blue sky there. hazy through tomorrow. better air this weekend. fall arrives tomorrow night at 1150. and we are looking at a chance of showers late monday going into tuesday morning. so tomorrow morning, the marine layer will reestablish itself and fill in across the bay area, but the smoke will settle into the region. and so tomorrow morning, things may get a little worse. then tomorrow afternoon, evening, things start to improve again. so morning temperatures is in the 40s and the 50s tomorrow afternoon. then it's going to be a nice day for the

last day of summer before fall arrives tomorrow night. hazy sunshine, inland low 80s for our warmest spots. low 60s right near the coastline. i want to show you the winds over the weekend. instead of a northerly wind, the wind is going to start to switch direction in starting to come out of the west a bit and then stronger as we head towards sunday. that's going to help to mix out some of that smoke and bring us that better air quality. accuweather seven day forecast, eight false starts tomorrow night and temperatures go down for the weekend but at least our air quality is getting better over the weekend. then we will bring in the possibility of some wet weather between monday night and tuesday morning. our best chance is in the north bay right now. we're going with a warmer pattern midweek. >> so chris paul is here already . >> can you believe that tomorrow night? >> i can't. summer just went by like this. >> i know. so true. so fast. >> all right. you can get live air quality and weather forecast anytime through our abc7 news bay area app. it has 24 over

through san jose's downtown and connecting to other highways like to 80, 85 and 17. but the road and its surroundings are in need of some critical work. that's where the state route 87 road rehabilitation project comes in, replacing the roadway pavement with 20 year life cycle flexible pavement structure. >> we're upgrading 28 curb ramps at six different intersections and we're resurfacing 2.9 close to three miles of class one bikeway that runs parallel to the main line. >> while the $69 million project will bring in those necessary repairs, it's going to take time . caltrans, in partnership with vta and the city of san jose, have condensed much of that work into two 56 hour weekends. >> we're going to be saving time potentially three months, by doing the work during this full weekend. it's also going to reduce all the overnight nighttime lane closures or nighttime work that caimpact the community. it starts at 9 p.m. friday, stretchrough monday, no than 5 a.m, the first weekend tackling northbound 87 between state route 85 and interstate 280. nthbound will be closed.

these service workers don't get paid enough. so if we can help them get a little bit more, i'm all for that. so yeah, yeah, but i get it. >> i get it loose. >> but most people already tip, i would think. and i already tip 20. so if you charge me 18, that's 2% less than i would have tipped them. ordinarily >> oh, there you go. so all right, it is hispanic heritage month, as we've said. >> we've learned a new word here in spanish. gross thanks to lewis and this month, we're highlighting something absolutely wonderful. the community and the food. ciao. pescao is a mix of latin american flavors with aocusn cuban and colombian foods very savory. they're known for their empanadas cuban sandwiches and festive atmosphere as well. we've got some great stuff to samples. >> yeah. joining us is owner renee dennis. first, renee, welcome. >> thank you. thank you. thanks for having me. >> wow. >> we are celebrating big time with these goodies you presented and the menu looks fabulous. tell us what we've got here. >> so you guys are going to dive into some empanadas there. the colombian style empanadas. they're you've got the cuban
