september 11 terror attacks nearly two decades later. the memorial set to get under way and the impact the pandemic is having. "today in the bay" starts right now. we will certainly never forget. good morning to you. it's 4:30 on your friday morning. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. mike is keeping an eye on that commute for us. first, meteorologist kari hall with a look at the friday forecast. and we are starting out with some much cooler temperatures as we take a live look outside. we are looking at our temperatures, right now only at 49 degrees in santa rosa, and some low 50s elsewhere with our high temperatures today once again staying in the 60s for many of our microclimates. we're also dealing with a lot more smoke and some fog this morning. so we'll talk more about that in the forecast coming up. mike, how is it looking early this morning? well, kari, you talk about smoke and fog and look on the map we have the yellow

highlighting here. take a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza where we have a mix. chp says fog advisory, whatever it is, it's tough to see the few cars there. the map will show you the yellow highlighting on our maps, the weather system tying in with the traffic conditions is showing you that all throughout oakland, contra costa county, the north bay, patches of fog typical across the golden gate bridge but much more widespread to hayward and through san mateo or to the coast with highway 1. back to you. that breaking news for you this morning thanks to improving conditions firefighters are making more headway battling the wildfires across northern california. unfortunately, more deaths are now confirmed in one of the region's largest fires burning in butte county. firefighters say ten people have died in the bear fire. that's up seven from yesterday morning. another 16 are still unaccounted for. fires burning near lake oroville, not far from paradise.

firefighters are also following another complex of fires. the north complex fire is burning across three counties and is 23% contained. >> all of the smoke still lingering across the bay area. here is a live look outside at the current conditions. today marks the 25th spare the air alert day and the most dangerous so far for breathing. the weekend is usually a busy time for restaurants, but the unhealthy air is keeping many inside, just not going because you can only have outdoor dining right now. i want to check in with "today in the bay's" kris sanchez. these restaurant owners are struggling, too. >> reporter: yeah, we certainly did not take dinner into the backyard yesterday. we're in san pedro square where a lot of restaurant owners are putting people outside. we don't know what will happen today because there may not be an appetite to dine outside. we know that was certainly the case in parts of san francisco. it is unclear whether

restaurants will think they can move outside. this is how quiet it was on valencia street last night. if you know, you know how busy it can be. usually there would be people enjoying outdoor dining. with this air so bad that you can taste it, some owners told their workers to stay home figuring customers would do the same. >> but i need them to be healthy. who wants to come to work like this? no one does. it's very stressful on top of a pandemic. >> reporter: this is a record stretch of bad air today being the 25th straight spare the air day. air quality is unhealthy not just for sensitive groups but for everyone. so limit your outdoor activity, and if you do head outdoors wear an n95 mask if you have one. those really aren't safe for children to wear, so the kids, just keep them inside altogether and don't bother trying to drive around finding some place that has better air, because if you

look at kari's map you will know there's no place that's escaping this bad air quality and it's down at ground level where we're breathing it. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> very good points made there, kris. thanks so much. so it is a little deceptive because it feels like every once in a while you get a window of opportunity to go outside but, kari, should we really just stay in? absolutely, especially today. take a look at the numbers we're seeing this morning. the worst we've had so far this week because the winds have calmed down, the smoke is settling down and it's being also pulled down to the ground by a lot of fog we're seeing this morning. so we're seeing purple air. it's the really unhealthy air quality for everyone especially for san francisco, oakland, fairfield, san rafael, much of the north bay. it's also really bad in the east bay and even, right now, down to the south county where we usually at this point have had some pretty good air quality. so really concerning at this

point and something we'll be watching throughout the weekend. it does look like there will be something in the forecast that could change the wind and possibly improve our air quality. we'll talk more about that coming up a little bit later. now back to you, marcus. >> all right, thanks so much, kari. well, it is the day that changed our lives forever. today marks 19 years since the terror attacks on september 11th, 2001, and the three locations where thousands died are hallowed ground this is where ceremonies will start later this morning marking the time flight 11 hit the north tower of the world trade center. defense secretary mark espy and joint chiefs chair general mark millie will attend the memorial at the pentagon. and this year president trump will be at the flight 93 remembrance in pennsylvania. ceremonies will be slightly different than in the past years due to the pandemic.

today marks six months since the world health organization declared covid-19 became a pandemic. here in california we have had more than 751,000 confirmed cases and more than 14,000 people have died from covid-19. if you get tested for the coronavirus, the results may be coming back in very rapid rates. last month it could take up to weeks to get your testing back. now health leaders say about two-thirds of people getting tested get results back within a day. nearly 90% can get results within two days. health leaders say with the rapid turnaround the state can soon start surveillance testing which will tweak testing to target the right people to better track the virus. california's employment development department finally acknowledging what may have been suspected for weeks -- fraud is likely driving the state's suspicious spike in pandemic-related jobless claims. red flags have come from people in some cases getting dozens of

letters from the edd not addressed to them. in a statement it says in part the edd is aggressively fighting fraud in the wake of unscrupulous attacks on the unemployment program here in california and across the country. edd investigators are partnering with local, state, and federal law enforcement to expose and prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law. this morning not only breaking news in northern california, we're following news in l.a. county. next on "today in the bay" the wildfire now exploding overnight causing all new evacuations. plus, the clock is ticking for tiktok. what president trump is saying about an upcoming deadline for the company to leave the country. you're watching "today in the bay." prop 19 helps california's most vulnerable.

together, we can save energy and money. try closing your shades during the day... setting your ac to 78° or higher... or cooling off with a fan when you can. united we are always stronger. stay well, california, and keep it golden.

right now at 4:41 in concord we start out this morning with low clouds and a lot of smoke and temperatures in the upper 50s. there will be a slow climb in temperatures again today as we reach into the upper 60s this afternoon, a lot cooler than we've seen recently. what's ahead in the weekend forecast coming up. and right now chp says it might be tougher to see because of that fog. the golden gate bridge, of course, the bay bridge. the san mateo bridge. we do see the curtain-like

got my sleeves ready to roll them down. a smooth drive for most of the bay. we are registering fog. there may be an issue in the east bay. there's a twist this morning.

here we go on this friday morning. 4:46. taking a live look outside in downtown san jose where just one of the many places the air quality is certainly unhelpy out

there. kari, this has probably been one of the worst days for ground level air quality that we've had. it is. and we've mostly seen a lot of the smoke in the upper levels of the atmosphere and the reason we had the orange sky as the sun was shining through it. now it's just going to be hard to see. you mix that in with the fog and it makes it really unhealthy to deal with that. let's get a look at our temperature trend today. we know it's been much cooler because of all the thick smoke. it's kept our temperatures from really warming up. that will be the case again today. finally the models are catching up with it and we're going to see some upper 50s this morning and then it will gradually make it close to 70 degrees. that may be above what we see today. let's get a look at our forecast. we think in livermore we'll reach 68 degrees. mostly upper 60s around the bay area with some low to mid-60s near the coastline today.

as we look at what may change our weather pattern over the next few days, we've had high pressure to the north of us, and that's been giving us a light northerly wind. now that it's further away we're seeing the wind settle down and the smoke isn't really mixing out that much. what we need is a good strong system to approach and change our wind direction, also give us a little bit more of a breeze that will also bring in some higher humidity and it looks like we'll see that as we go into the latter part of the weekend and early next week. this storm system moving in will bring us much more of a westerly wind, some cooler temperatures and also high humidity. it may even bring in some rain across the pacific northwest and may clip far northern california. won't make it into the bay area, but we could see enough of that fog and deep marine layer to actually give us some drizzle for some of our coastal communities. it's looking good in the forecast. we have to make it through the weekend into early next week.

and our temperatures once again have been much cooler. we will gradually warm up once we see the shift in our wind direction and hopefully some improved air quality by early next week and our san francisco temperatures will stay in the 60s but a lot of fog there near the coast that will remain into at least next thursday. and as we head over to you, mike, how is it looking for the early morning drivers? kari, you mentioned the fog along the coast. that's what's over my shoulder, the yellow highlighting dominates a lot of the portion for our maps. take a look and show you what we're talking about. the yellow is highlighting where there's fog or lower visibility along highway 101 and 92 -- not 92, 580 across over to 92 as you're looking through castro valley and hayward. i've removed the level of detail so i can show you the slowing northbound 880. usually southbound but this morning the northbound side does slow through the construction around 29. it looks like it's getting ready to clear.

the speeds are improving but, marcus, on our maps the fog and then the golden gate bridge shows you another reason that and the bay bridge are getting warnings from chp. back to you. >> definitely see it there. breaking news to tell you about, an ominous sight in southern california. you can see right there the glowing flames, this is on the mountain range near pasadena. that's the bobcat fire suddenly exploding to nearly 24,000 acres. now this is burning near the angeles national forest. evacuation warnings are in place. that fire only 6% contained. in the meantime, marcus, the earth is also shaking overnight. this happened near owens lake. 4.0 earthquake hitting seven miles outside of keylar, california. one registered 3.5. no reports, however, of any damage or injuries. even though a judge recently ordered the census bureau to

wind down, it appears otherwise. a coalition is asking them to end operations in late october as opposed to this month over fears minority communities would not be counted. a judge last week agreed blocking wrapping the count early. but an internal email indicates some supervisors in california are being told to evaluate for the next phase of termination. a census bureau spokesperson denies there's any national directive. new details on the elizabeth holmes fraud case. a federal judge is giving the theran theranos, she's planning to challenge how the jury was picked during the pandemic. holmes is charged with a dozen counts of fraud over the palo alto blood testing startup. a judge is ordering a southern california mega church to stop indoor service.

in the past few years. wildfire victims need help so i'm voting 'yes' on 19. it limits property taxes on wildfire victims so families can move to a replacement home without a tax penalty. you never know what you'll be faced with. please, vote 'yes' on 19. right now at 5:00, sad news developing in the wildfire as it's burning in butte county. the intense search happening now as more deaths are confirmed. and a live look at the 9/11 memorial in new york city where

"today in the bay" continues right now. and a very good friday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> oh, yes, it is friday. i'm marcus washington. mike, getting a look at the friday commute for us. of course wove to talk about the friday forecast for you. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that. not so exciting news on the forecast front. no, because we have such unhealthy air quality today. it is so bad and we know it's been bad the past couple of days but a little bit above the surface. this morning it has come down to the ground, so now we're looking at a lot of what we call very unhealthy air for
