was a problem with one of the engines, so the plane was forced to turn around and land in siberia, in eastern russia. since the war in ukraine started, a lot of airlines don't fly over russia, but air india still does. when the plane landed, they needed to get an entirely different plane, so the passengers were taken to a hostile, and this is the video shot on cell phones. pretty bare-bones accommodations, as you can imagine. they were said they were not allowed to leave the hospital and they could ve take a lot of flak here in the bay over there planned move to las vegas, but it looks like nevada may not even want them. state lawmakers have been in a special session all day and evening over whether to allocate taxpayer money to help build the billion-dollar ballpark on the strip. some of the lawmakers are not convinced

paul, we have been talking about this for a couple of days. it is hard to forget. september 9th, 2020. i was living in l.a. but we ran this video heavily! >> we could believe it, we lived here! >> yeah, the skies over the bay area were orange. it felt here like nighttime during the day. notracausin all the atmosphere. >> this is how it looked in new york because of wildfire smoke from canada blowing over the northeast. so this is the side-by-side comparison with the bay area in 2020 on the left and new york today on the other side, and while. >> the differences when our sky was this color all the bad stuff was in the atmosphere and ground level was okay until the next day when it came down

thanks to gravity. this was just dreadful air quality for most of the northeastern u.s. hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires burning in canada , over 150 of them in quebec alone. some experts are calling it the worst-ever start to the canadian wire ason they have had soones. over 9 million acres have already burned. thick blanket of smoky air blowing over major u.s. cities. >> obviously people have been seeing this people on social media have been talking about this, saying that it looked like a scene out of a movie or it looks like mars. people said they could taste the air, which is obviously not good in this situation. >> think back to 2020. we had that a lot with the smoke blowing down from oregon. you could just taste the particulates in the atmosphere. >> acceptable in a donut shop but nowhere else! but you were saying the air quality was so poor the people were wearing masks. people here in the bay

area are used to that because we sometimes see smoky wildfire conditions. but that unhealthy air has moved to other places. >> yeah, it has been drifting further and further to the south. i can show you the satellite loop of the smoke being pushed along storm thrtma cover is associated with the storm system. all this beige stuff is smoke blowing over new york, pennsylvania and new jersey. air quality over the northeastern u.s. is still bad. this is actually an improvement over where it was earlier, but with the purple sensors everything is in the very unhealthy or hazardous category and it is a much broader problem than just this. i will bring in our virtual-reality globe and we will look at smoke concentration . it is literally something you can see on a globe, or at least a

hemispheric perspective. everything is shaded in yellow or orange or red and is more densely-concentrated smoke, and you can see how much of the eastern half of the country this covers. it is something that will continue to be a problem, because the overall weather pattern has generally just been stuck. we talk about areas of high and low pressure, but the cool weather we have had is actually part of this overall stock pattern with the area of high pressure pushing all the way up into canada. this has resulted in unseasonably warm weather and an unusually severe start the wildfire season. usually these things float from place to place, but instead they have been stationary, or one moves out and another one moves in. we need the whole thing to budge, but it is unlikely that we will see the wildfire situation getting much better in the foreseeable future. they had an unusually warm month of may. this indicates record-selling temperatures up towards the arctic circle and above-average temperatures for most of the country. we were

in the blue with below-average temperatures for much of may, but much of the rest of the continent was just cooking and getting off to that rabbit start the wildfire season. let's talk about our weather. just a little bit cloud cover filling back in. temperatures at the moment are mostly in the upper 50s, still hanging on the 63 degrees. we will see low cloud cover and fog backing up towards the coast as we head towards midday. temperatures tonight dropping down to what is normal for early june, mid-to-upper 50s. high temperatures tomorrow will be very close to normal along the coast, right around 60 and a few degrees below average around the bay and mid-to-upper 60s further inland and several degrees below normal in the north bay. that is normal beyond what you saw today. in the east bay, the warmer spots don't even hit 80 degrees, that is an unusually cool weather pattern. this is what we will be dealing with all the

way through the weekend into next week. i say dealing with like it is unpleasant. it is nice to get a pg&e bill that isn't astronomical. temperatures will stay steady through next week. backup to mid-70s for the north bay over the weekend and i think we will get to near average temperatures by the middle of next week which means close to 80 in san jose and into the 80s for parts of the east bay, but that is still a full week away. enjoy the free air conditioning and the fog pattern while it lasts because eventually summertime will settle back in with a vengeance. vern? still ahead in sports, did you hear about the a's? the fans knew they had it in them! and the giants, still winning after
