for wednesday. but then we will have a lot more changes ahead going into the weekend. a big cooldown as rain moves just to our north. i don't think we're going to see a lot of this rain in the bay area but it's going to be passing very close by. looks like we have a better chance of rain next week and possibly our first decent sierra snow. so this is once again a week out from now, but we'll be, of course, keeping an eye on it as it finally brings in some beneficial rain, maybe some sierra snow. we are mostly dry this week and our temperatures will be warming up through wednesday and then we're going back down to some of our warmest spots inland hitting 70 degrees. for san francisco we'll be up to the low 70s for tomorrow on wednesday but after that we're back to the 60s for the rest of the week. mike, you were looking at the ripple effect from a crash in sunol. all the traffic is interconnected. one issue in the tri-valley, southbound 680 really jammed up

fire. the air quality district says levels in pittsburg are in the good zone and not unhealthy right now. >> depending on where you are, some of that smoldering smoke could reach you depending on which way the winds blow. >> reporter: the air quality district says impacted by another phenomena, inversion, that's keeping us socked in fog that traps more pollutants close to the surface. when that weather pattern changes they expect the air quality to improve. reporting live in the east bay, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. so let's turn to meteorologist kari hall now who is tracking air quality. what are we looking at for today? >> it is having an impact on parts of the bay area, but it's not everyone and it's very localized. it really does depend on wind direction. as we look at our air quality and what we're seeing now and expecting throughout the day, moderate air quality for the coast and the bay and some of that coming through the delta. but look at the arrows. they kind of show you how

variable the wind is. comes from different directions and is not a very strong wind. it's mostly at about 10 to 12 miles per hour, even going into this afternoon. notice how in napa we have more of a southerly wind that could draw in some of that smoke into parts of the north bay. more so over to the sacramento valley but we are going to see some of that localized smoke impact continue throughout the day. we'll continue to monitor that. we'll talk about some warmer air in our forecast coming up in a few minutes. thank you very much, kari. new overnight police investigating an apparent double shooting in san francisco's philmore neighborhood just west of jefferson square park. a theft report. up to 20 shots were fired. no update on two of the victims. gunfire struck several nearby parked cars. police are only confirming multiple people were shot. happening today former mixed martial arts champion cain
