4:47 am
it's a day where we are still going to have to monitor our north bay air quality. moderate as well as the south bay. look at how much particulate matter in the air. not too high at this point. just slightly above the 50 threshold we look for. below that it is good air quality. we are going to be watching out for the potential of a high fire danger in the north bay. now the winds start to pick up this morning and the northerly wind gusts will increase up to 30 to 45 miles per hour. those sustained winds at times will reach up to 10 to 25 miles an hour and humidity levels will be very low dropping below 30% so later tonight we will watch our north bay hills. that's after today as we continue to see some warm weather for our valleys with our south bay highs reaching up to 88 degrees in morgan hill. we're also going to see upper 80s for much of the east bay reaching up to 86 in danville.

90 degrees and then the 70s by the weekend. we have the potential of an offshore wind event. now we'll also see our temperatures in the low 70s for san francisco but it will get much cooler as we head closer to the weekend. now over to mike, how is it looking for the commute? looking great. i don't want to jinx anything. green sensors dominate the screen. maybe smaller incidents on surface streets. not a major issue for the commute. right now it's clear and should be clearing in the next hour. i've circled the golden gate bridge where there's a fog advisory. the bay bridge has low clouds hovering around. there's a little bit of a threat coming down but not a problem for visibility for the drivers through the area.
