experience from the atmosphere around us. at the far east bay i bring it back to the beginning. in the east bay while you are unhealthy for sensitive groups this morning, these are the right now readings. i will show you the forecast for today in general, in a second. let's look at the wide view. taking a look at the bay area as a whole and we have a lot of color.so it's best to get specific. south san jose, santa clara valley, moderate to unhealthy for the sensitive groups. at san mateo, redwood city and burlingame, you guys are the worst right now. we have readings reaching the unhealthy category in general. it does not mean it will stay all that way all day but if you step outside right now just know that the air quality is lousy outside for you guys. at the far east bay we see it unhealthy for sensitive groups and no different at the diablo valley. concord unhealthy for sensitive groups in the same way in the

city. we can verify that here at kpix 5 . we can smell the smoke even indoors. south meridian has good air quality this morning. each time i call out a location where only talking about the right now conditions and we have seen all of this stuff changing throughout the course of the day. since you are with us early in the morning here's what it looks like as you get ready to step outside. sonoma county has some the best air quality in the bay area with green. from windsor, santa rosa and petaluma, you are borderline on air quality. the forecast for the rest of today, the generalized take away is not pretty. we are either unhealthy for sensitive groups or just flat out unhealthy. this is the central bank and east bay falling in the red category which is just unhealthy. that means if you can limit your time outside is much as you can today, your lungs will thank you for.

let's talk about the temperatures in the forecast. 60 in oakland, 58 in concord. that is the marine layer out there. we are looking at gray skies for the immediate bait with some of this extending over to the tri-valley but not a lot. north bay waking up with gray skies like everybody else. we take it off and burn it back but that will take a while. of the time we get past 10:00 or 11:00 this morning, the clouds have melted back to the immediate coast. to the golden gate we have a sliver of clouds over the golden gate bridge pretty much all day today. that will come back and overnight with a similar situation. as far as the daytime highs, upper 80s inland with mid to upper 70s for much of the bay. we have a warming trend in your 7-day forecast. much of next week back to the mid-90s. we go up another 5 degrees in the early and middle part of the week. we have some good news. if you can pay attention the

forecast, within the last few days the numbers looked even higher than that. not to say we will escape the heat. it will get hot but not this weekend but much of next week. >> an observation on the question, it smells like a campfire here. we have fires everywhere. where's the smoke coming from? is it coming from all of them combined or one contributing more than others? >> a great question. in the south bay the diablo range fire. but in the north bay like in meridian it is the woodland fire. that airs funneling through the canyons and san rafael is getting consistently horrible air quality. most of that is because of that fire burning over but the simple answer is that we are surrounded on all sides. weekend will out the details because we have curious minds like that, but in general, no way around this at any part of

the bay. time is running out for millions of struggling tenants across the bay. the eviction moratorium is set to expire at the first of the month. this could prevent a tsunami of evictions with a proposal but not going far enough. >> she feels really bad because there's no way to work and how is she going to find another way to pay the rent? >> reporter: floor lost her job when the pandemic began in march. she cleaned houses in san francisco. the single mom lives in richmond and four months behind on her rent. she is one of millions of californians, many black or latinx that are facing eviction. it is being converted to civil debt similar to credit card debt. tenants must pay 25% of the rent from september through january. the rest is considered civil debt. to qualify they must sign under

penalty of perjury that they are experiencing a pandemic related hardship. >> this bill is not going to be able to save everyone. if it were up to me we would continue the eviction moratorium for a period of time. it pains me we are moving forward with the bill that will not stop every eviction. >> reporter: he says the bill was not perfect and tenant groups say it does not go far enough. >> this is a half measure. new some is the governor and has the executive powers, especially expanded because of the state of emergency and should banned all evictions. >> reporter: jasper lives in inner richmond anodes $12,000 in back rent and working as the campaign manager for local candidate. >> mostly it is up and down because there is no way of knowing. there is a lot in play like will my landlord be understanding. >> the bill comes down to the wire.

the league announced that certain teams would use voting locations in november, and the thunder and players association president said enough is enough. >> we all heart. we are all tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. everybody is expecting us just to be okay because we get paid great money. we are human and have real feelings. i'm glad we had a chance to get into a room together and talk to one another. is not just crossing passes say good luck to you today. >> it's good to see the players back on the floor. we come back later today with highlights of that. a shout out to the gaming squad for those in the young demographics that play the nba 2k. the nba finals and losing to the washington wizards, three games to one in their quest for a half million dollars first prize.

ahead for that, and good luck. as far as the forecast is concerned we start with the air- quality. i will stress there are two different ways to think about the air quality report. there is what is it outside of your door right now at this moment. and then there is what is the forecast for today in general. the quality report i will give you right now is important if you are getting ready to step out the door right now. this is at 6:00 in the morning, specifically in the south bay or on the peninsula. we have one trouble spot at san mateo with the air-quality reading unhealthy. not to say is good in the south bay. you still have unhealthy air for this is the groups as we do in the far east bay and the same thing at concord, walnut creek, oakland, berkeley, san leandro and san francisco. this means this is unhealthy for the sensitive groups. this is the condition where you

step outside and you say it smells like a campfire. when you experience that you are breathing in the smoke, more than you really want to. south marin county one of the better spots and we've seen this in the last several days with more help in the morning and in the afternoon the air- quality goes downhill. here is the more important take away. this is the journalized forecast everything everything out for the rain the rest of the day will go. it's either flat-out unhealthy or unhealthy for the sensitive groups. either one is more than you want to breathe in, especially on day seven of this stuff. as far as the other things in our sky, the marine layer with the golden gate bridge socked in but overhead oakland as well. here's a good view of the east bay. san jose has some of this as well but you have a lot of smoke which is a mix of both. the view eastward into the tri- valley has a lot of smoke in the skies. there is some humidity from the marine layer.

as far as temperatures around 60 at most locations. we take the marine layer that is pretty widespread right now, a good sign that we are getting help with temperatures and humidity. it is helping in the fight on the fires. by late morning clouds have burned back to the coast other than one sliver which continues to filter in through the golden gate throughout the afternoon. this is a good sign which is typical for late august. is better to have it now the not to keep the humidity in the air. yesterday we take a few degrees off of that, but not a major change with low to mid 80s in the south bay. upper 80s in the far inland east bay with pleasant hill at 88 with dublin at 87, in walnut creek at the same number. 72 in oakland, 70 in richmond and 80 at petaluma. your long-range forecast, 6 to 10 days has a red bull's-eye

over the midwest. we have a warm up coming in your 7-day forecast with mid- 90s for the daytime highs for much of this seven day. >> i know air-quality is still bad but by comparison there were days last week that the hillside cannot be seen, disappearing behind the smoke and dirty air. >> thankfully the fire behavior is better. but if you look you can see enough smoke coming off and we cannot turn this off yet. the lnu lightning complex fire swept across the north bay and in vacaville one couple all special items in that blaze including over one dozen classic cars. >> a 1956 chevy nomad was a project i was working on. a 1957 chevy coupe that i drove quite often. you can replace the cars if you wanted to but the personalize items are the ones that really hurt.

>> the couple also lost their large collection of dolls and toy trains made in the 1930s. they said the insurance company offered them $500,000 on the losses. coming up it looks like a simple costco run but find out how this man known for delivering news is delivering a lot more for the neighbors a reminder or virtual telethon for the red cross continues and call the number on your screen, another day, another chance to bounce forward.
