numbers ins to drift in, we're above the 50 mark into the east bay, 102. let's take a look at that smoke model run and see what some of the molds are capturing when it comes to ground level smoke. notice the red and yellow color. that's that smoke drifting down. the highest concentration is in areas like santa rosa, nevada, really the north bay, areas in the south bay, san jose, you can see some of that yellow into the interior valleys, as well, areas like livermore. that north breeze is going to push some of that smoke south, bringing that spare the air alert today and then we have warming ahead. high pressure will continue to dominate, but we have a storm to the our north and that's north, which is good for seattle. as far as for us, we're talking about midweek warm, that high pressure. then we're going to cool off a little bit, but right behind that low pressure system, we have another high pressure system and that could bring the

possibility of seeing some offshore winds and anytime we're monitoring winds, it's something we look out for. overall, your seven-day forecast, we're going to be really warm tomorrow and san francisco can expect it to get into the 70s for tomorrow. >> thanks so much. we'll see you again in about eight minutes. still ahead on today in the bay, missing life precovid. two high school seniors come up with a way to bring outdoor experiences to those who now can't leave the house. it will make you bay area proud, next. this isn't our first flip. and sure, some renovations can require a bit of compromise. but, there's no settling here. at floor and decor, she gets to fulfill her vision while i get in-stock products at budget-friendly prices.

good saturday morning. you know, we've enjoyed the past two days of good air quality and ice been quite nice. i want to show you the changes we're going to have developing in the next couple of hours. hayes valley in san francisco, we have a foggy start, seeing some areas of fog. temperatures are cool and comfortable in the 50s and 60s, but we're going to start to warm up into the afternoon. before i get to your daytime highs, i want to show you the air quality management district's air quality index. as of right now, please travels and changes within the hour, within minutes depending on the wind, what is happening around us. but as of right now, we're below the 50 mark, which once we get above the 50 mark, 50 and above within that range, it starts to

become unhealthy for sensitive groups. so why are we under a spare the air alert today? here is the reason why. we have some north winds that are going to start to drift some smoke pushing it further south into the wildfires up north. they decided to issue a spare the air alert whenever at least one of the five counties reported is seeing unhealthy air quality just to be cautious and to make sure everyone is okay. so we're going to see the worst air likely to the north bay with numbers above 100 into this evening and also for the east bay. as far as bay coast, south bay and sandal that clara valley, let's talk about the wind gusts.

dinnertime, the winds pick up 20 plus miles per hour, 19 miles per hour in santa rosa and napa, as well. this is when we're going to start to notice the push of smoke. look at the smoke model. this is according to ground model. between 6:00 and 12:00, we start to see the emphasis where you see the yellow and red hues. that is that smoke pushing through. notice santa rosa, nevada, it aligns with the spare the air alert. even though you might be seeing green in other areas, again, anytime one of the five reporting areas is seeing unhealthy air quality, that's what we can expect. so the north breeze will push that south. not going to be into that purple range like what we saw last weekend. we did get some good clearing these past few days thankfully. as far as heading into the wednesday and thursday, we have a storm bringing rain to our north. you can see that low pressure system there on the radar. and also advancing towards thursday and friday, so we're going to get hot today, tomorrow, cool down a little bit and see rebuilding high pressure

heading in towards the end of the workweek. so here it is, tomorrow we'll be in the upper 80s, low 90s, of the week. san francisco, expect smokey conditions at time later this evening. again, we're great now, but keep monitoring that. that air quality can change hour by hour. back to you. >> we'll be monitoring this. it's been so nice to finally get outside again. >> i bet. >> thanks so much for that. heads up. still ahead on today in the bay, an inspirational story about a black winemaker who is making it in the bay. changing perceptions one glass at a time. >> we all know making it in the bay can be hard, but for some it's even more difficult because of the color of their skin.
