was 10% contained but there's more than 2000 firefighters on the front lines trying to protect thousands of structures. you can see the damage out here is fairly extensive. when the blaze came through the neighborhood, it torched and integrated everything in its path. the blaze was moving at break neck speed. coming up on the today show we have the latest including sound from victims who lost everything in the blaze the question now is will they ever rebelled and what direction is a fire now moving. we will have answers. >> and we will speak with him later but we also want to check in with meteorologist vianey arana who is tracking these conditions and the air quality. >> we are in peak 2 fire season and this climate change is making the fire season longer and more intense. and some of the local impact is the air quality advisory. that was extended. originally set to expire yesterday but was extended because depending on the direction of the wind and the

fuel in the fire, we could see smoke drifting from mariposa county to the upper air as it moves west. as i move to satellite radar, i want to show you the smoke traveling. it looks like it will stay high above, not necessarily at the surface. right now satellite radar, you can see we have moisture and activity pushing in from the desert southwest. this is parking isolated thunderstorm activity. you can see we have lightning strikes reported through contra costa county and light showers pushing in through there and also through stuff like tahoe. we will not really see a tunnel rain but the concern for lightning is there because of how dry it is. some not so great news this morning. making it in the bay is not expected to get easier anytime soon because the new economic numbers released this week

we have a lot going on in weather. we have the fog protecting us from the smoke. and it does. the factor it plays when it comes to the smoke come if you look at this camera, is it helps the smoke stay high above gliding over the fog protecting us from those particles coming down and impacting us at the surface. it will be something we are looking out for. satellite radar showing us this moisture that pushed overnight. this is what we were looking for. pushing to the north and we do see some scattered showers. there is some wet pavement but we are watching for lightning strikes and that will be the biggest concern. you guys know we are really dry out there so any form of lightning could easily start a fire. overnight we saw that move-in but like will happen by 1:30. notice the rain chances move out and we keep the fog on the coastline and look at the sierra. the sierra is looking for a

the vianey arana has extended this air quality advisory . we reported on this yesterday. they have extended it through tomorrow because concerns of the oak fire which is burning in mariposa county. incidentally, as a result of the oak fire and other wildfires in recent years, california has some of the worst air quality in the country. according to the air-quality life index put up by the energy policy institute at the university of chicago, this report found in 2020, 19 california counties ranked in the top 20 nationwide for the most polluted counties. none of the counties were in the bay area. they were in the sierra foothills and the central valley. california's central valley comedy particulate pollution levels, they found that they exceeded national and international standards. here is a great visual as to why. on the left side you can see satellite photo of the oak fire. that is from friday. on the right side you see

yesterday and you can see a long plume of smoke traveling north for hundreds of miles in the sierra nevada. law enforcement and firefighters have told hundreds of people in the path of the oak fire to evacuate . firefighters from oakland and fremont have joined the fight. cal fire santa clara unit sent 52 firefighters. alameda county fire behind me sent a strike team of 10 members. bay area agencies say don't worry that there will be enough fighters around to cover if there's trouble at home. >> county fire stations are all fully staffed so the community will not feel the strain at all. we are looking for relief firefighters because everything is spread thin. we are dealing with covid and also dealing with fatigue. >> reporter: as we reported yesterday, many bay area firefighters can expect to be at the oak fire for two weeks. back to air-quality. if you want to check the air

quality in your neighborhood, we have clinton avenue to that on our website, nbcbayarea.com. let's head over to meteorologist vianey arana tracking weather conditions an air-quality around the oak fire. >> it's really important to check locally because anytime the wind changes, it could create small pockets of unhealthy air quality. even though it may not be unhealthy everywhere, it could be where you are so check that out. when it comes to the air quality advisory, lot of that has managed to stay aloft, which means high above. i want to show you pump perspective what that means. that is the smoke and the hayes . the orange skies you can see they are coming you can see the plume and the color changing. what you see at the surface if i push this forward, the upper air smoke aloft compared to the smoke at the surface. you can see a lot of that smoke

is staying east versus over our area. even then there are some areas through the northbay enter the east bay, this is the smoke you breathe, and you can see all lot of that managing to stay further north. even then, when you look at the numbers in mariposa county, the orange and yellow, look at that . it goes into the hundreds when it comes to unhealthy. we're watching that but i note someone watching the roads and we saw some activity on radar and joe ducey some on the roadways. >> you're looking above and i'm looking at but combining the two get traffic conditions. san jose looks great. we do have some slowdown at the aero. here is 101 a typical slower spot. you see the upper right-hand corner here, the green highlighting. we have a damp roadway registering on the road weather index and that's where there

could be lighter rain toward tracy in brentwood and antioch. perhaps some across the delta in the north bay. no problems on the chp water but we will watch that as more folks are hitting the road. a little slowing out of vallejo on 37 . right now firefighters are still not saying whether they know what started a deadly house fire last night in antioch. first responders arrived around 8:00 p.m. on serpentine drive and they believe the fire started in the garage. one unidentified man died at the scene along with three dogs. a second person did make it out safely. today in san francisco, one medical healthcare worker will rally against amazon's plan to take over the company. amazon announced last week a plan to buy out one medical san francisco-based parent company for $4 billion. one medical has 200 officers in 25 u.s. markets. workers are calling for one medical shareholders to reject the plan going so far as to say they could compromise private healthcare data of clinic

members. amazon already addressing the issue in a statement it says in part, nothing about this transaction changes one medical's obligation to comply with hipaa and all their applicable laws and regulations. a painful reality is picking up again for more families struggling to make it in the bay. foreclosures. report finds the number of foreclosures so far this year is up 90% in the bay area at more than 1700 homes. some of that has to do with the expiring of many pandemic -related protection but one peninsula real estate agent told us right now there is no need to panic. >> unless they get to a point where they start adding to the inventory and creating a glut in inventory, then i don't see it playing a big factor. >> experts point out the pace of foreclosures is still well below the pace from 2019, and it's nowhere near enough to

lower bay area home prices at this time. ticking a live look at san jose as the sun >> we have. drifting smoke from nearby fires and monsoonal moisture pushing and causing some isolated showers on the interior, and temperatures. let's see how this welfare out. let's break down the hourly forecast. around 10:30 notice in livermore we have upper 60s. tracy, 74. san francisco, 60. seasonable for this time of year. if i push this forward to 3:30, some of the warmer spots will be through livermore. tracy still managing the 90s. and through the south bay, san jose at 78. probably will hit the low 80s.

san francisco will be in the mid 60s and we keep the chance of an isolated thunderstorm until midmorning and then that clears out into the afternoon. now let's get a check of the roads. >> looking really good in contra costa county. the early commute is not really kicking in for highway 4 but highway 37 , we do see sun break tapping. things are predictable for the roadways. looking at this junction project , starting yesterday and continuing for a few weeks we have construction. crews have asked you to lower speeds by 10 miles per hour for safety. he was seen signs posted. the green highlighting indicating light rain we've seen over the course of the morning to keep that in mind. let's jump down to a continuing project on eastbound 80. the right lane will be blocked as they have damage to the over crossing from last week we will talk about that because not
