winds coming in from the west so will we see any of that again today or how is it looking for us? the wind has been light and variable especially early in the day. it's a cool morning but we also have high humidity which usually keeps the spread from happening so quickly. hopefully more containment today. we're starting out with good air quality now. we'll see our winds shift a bit. any issues for drivers heading out the door right now, mike? kari, i'm hearing about a new crash in fremont. i was just checking on the update. still four cars involved. a live look here for 880. i wanted to show you the good

he makes it look so easy. to celebrate ringo starr is holding a virtual birthday celebration on youtube. i'm sure a lot of people will be tuning in to that. >> man, i hope that i can look that good and sing that well and party that hard when i'm 80. i'll want to nap. >> i just want to see 80. >> and still have my right mind. >> speaking of 80s, kari, i bet you have some of those in your forecast. yes, some upper 80s in some spots. this beautiful sunrise and we've at times seen smoke drifting by as we look from the skyway over to rodeo where we were dealing with a fire yesterday. looks like things are looking a little bit better and in terms of air quality it also has

improved with a light wind. we're not seeing the winds blow the smoke into the bay area. in fact, it's taken much of the smoke off to the east as we get a light westerly wind this morning. then as we look at our wind forecast we are going to see as we go into early in the afternoon wind speeds at 10 to 15 miles an hour but then picking up later this evening and that wind direction makes all the difference on how hazy it looks, how much smoke we're smelling, and also how unhealthy that air quality is. so as we look at our temperatures, we're looking at some highs that will reach into the low 80s for the south bay, upper 80s through the inland east bay. while the coastal areas stay in the low 60s. we're still looking at a wide range in temperatures and a slight boost in our valley temperatures reaching into low 90s. nothing too extreme but it will heat up for the weekend and a lot more sunshine while the coast, san francisco, will stay in the 60s over the next seven

days. mike, as you've been keeping an eye on the road, any issues popping up right now? kari, fremont. it's where i followed the crash, more details came in and changed really quickly. let's show you the map. now the sensors are marked closed but they'll reopen again. we just learned two lanes heading north from 680 at the crossover at auto mall up to mission north through the area is confusing but if you're through the area and familiar with it you'll know what we're talking about there. the lanes just reopened. one is still closed because of what sounds like five cars involved in a crash. expect slowing north out of free throw fremont into sunol. yourypical commute is very light as is usual and the slowing holding steady right there for north 101. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now for you, china's flood defense network is being put to the test. constant heavy rainfall there in southern and the eastern mud sl.
