the view from the top of mount diablo, of smoke coming from a grass fire. this is burning in the marsh area just north of pittsburg. for perspective, from the top of mount diablo, we're looking toward the delta, you can see the outskirts of pittsburg. downtown would be just off the screen there, pretty much in the direction the smoke is going. the crews were on the fire yesterday, and they've gotten a handle on it. this morning, some of the flames were able to re-sprout out there. they're watching it, but there is not a high degree of concern on the flames. the nsmoke is another issue. as long as the fire continues to put out smoke, the winds coming in through the delta, there's pittsburg, will take the smoke and push it off to the east. one thing we'd want to check in a situation like this, air quality. we're doing okay. you might smell smoke in the delta, especially pittsburg and ant antioch, but downstream, see the yellow and orange dots? great way to visualize how the smoke is getting transported farther into the delta and then just kind of dispersing.

7:46 am
temperatures below average for most of this last week. one more day we can do that. wouldn't see anything significant on the regular satellite. when we switch to the water vapor, you can see the patterns. there is a trough. see the dip, the cool air coming our way? little bit of a counterclockwise spin, as well. the futurecast picks up on the curly cue in the clouds. that goes south. the overall energy from the trough moves inland today. so it keeps the cool air around today. as the trough leaves tomorrow, it's a dramatic change. watch the color codes on the map change, from below average for saturday to above average on sunday, that was quite the turnaround from one day to the next. you'll see that in the seven-day forecast. san jose shows that example. first, we'll go from 80 today to 88 tomorrow. then 90 monday. we cool for much of next week. mid 80s for next week. looking across the microclimates, top line shows it the best, inland valleys over the east bay, ten degree jump
