their friends from sonora left the washington fire thursday hoping for bluer skies. i was expecting a lot more lively. i've never, ever in my life seen 50 scooters. you know, i some 50 people on scooters but i've never seen 50 scooters standing just standing just sitting there with nobody on it. the smoke both the hazardous level leaving businesses and the smoke has decimated the hotel motel industry and southlake not many representatives want to go on camera. put a representative with base camp tells me last weekend there were booked because of a concert happening this weekend. but that concert has since been canceled and out of a 179 rooms. only 3 remain occupied. just doing what we can with what we have. bruce beeler with california burger company says he is surprised by the smokes impact. probably the slowest friday i've ever seen. even covid included aside from the that for shutdowns like this is the most quiet i've ever seen this corner. i've been here for 5 but he adds this is just another challenge they will have to overcome.

>> but for the few who came to tahoe left in all this is just insane. >> never i've never seen this much smoke my life and i look through their entire as 17. >> when he said you could taste and i know exactly what he means. i know here it's much less oppressive in terms of our hazy skies, dave, yesterday was definitely the worst that i've seen over the last week in terms raise. yeah. and also you can taste a air. a little bit going on for today. so it was also some of the local pollution being generated too, because no matter what we're producing. this is not going anywhere. and we typically have the circulation flow that comes in from the coast because we're starting to have a thermal gradient again, that means that imbalance that causes some local winds true. you can't stop that. but still not a lot of no help from upstairs with this high in place. they're the hazy skies. few were just stuck in this. and by tomorrow there's some promise by the forecast is going to put us all in the

moderate category don't think we'll have much in the way of winds on our sunday either to mix things out and slightly till monday that we don't get that machinery going to really get that coastal lee impact. here's the golden gate bridge for you there. the orange skies you can see off towards the distance as well. the flags, not the one much and won't for today. air quality live. as you can see, very bad up in the mountains heading back to the bay. you can see improves a little bit, but these oranges are making their encroachment across the east bay shoreline even into the peninsula. little bit. you will see this will probably again go back over the east bay hills a little bit because you get all that in heating that's going to drive a slight breeze going on but not much help the moderate category and i suspect this will stay in place tomorrow as well. here are the current winds for your right now. a lot of calm in the east bay. as you can see, again with that high parked right up on top of us. a little bit of a breeze in the city. as you can see, temperature check. we have mostly 60's on the board 50's up to the north bay antioch 7164 san jose and 59 for san

francisco. so for the breakdown going on here for you today for the weekend high pressure dome, hot and hazy 80's will go on for a lot of the bay coverage through 100 inland early into the week. we finally get a little bit of that coastal breeze working to try to include try to improve some conditions least in the immediate bay here, warm, 70's going on to the bay upper 80's while inland that's an improvement temperatures. but then look at this. by the latter portion. the week, sunny. and we can use the word mild as we see temperatures 60's for the bay, lower 80's going on well inland. so we're going to flip things around a little bit. sky's not that blue. but you get the general idea 81 again. hazy sunshine going on. 92 oakland really tells you how much the winds are not here today. 93 checking in for san jose. obviously the inland areas temperatures will be baking. very nicely, be on the scene note with 90's up to the north bay. but again, look at this 81 san francisco, 74 even for half moon bay. the beaches will be quite warm as coming up, a little bit. of course. well, the 4 zone forecast for you and also check in what's

going on with item that set new hurricane that just developed in the gulf of mexico. noel. thanks, dave. >> while the threat of the caldor fire is forcing some vacationers to cancel their lake tahoe reservations. kron 4 news viewer tells us air bnb is refusing to issue her a refund crystal says she booked a property through air bnb back in july given the severity of the current situation, though she decided it would be best to cancel her family trip. but she says the property host refused to issue a refund. she says she tried repeatedly to contact air bnb. but they told her they'd issue a refund if evacuations were put in place for the property. they basically said no, sorry, nothing. we can do. it doesn't honor policy. >> i even point out like hey, and i think you it's says it's unsafe environment for your policy. you would reimburse the person i spoke to could clarify what unsafe met and their thank you. and it was just incredibly frustrating.

air bnb. these terms authorize refunds when the physical location of a property includes hazards. >> that could be expected to adversely affect the guests stay in a statement air bnb says in part there, quote, extenuating circumstances policy has been activated for other areas affected by the caldor fire hosts and guests with eligible reservations can cancel penalty free. the company says it's closely monitoring the situation. if you are thinking of getting out of the area to escape the smoke and haze southwest airlines may be your best bet. going forward. the airlines cutting the number of flights for the remainder of 2021. the company says the goal is to fix operational issues that have plagued the airline causing flight delays and cancellations to soar. southwest will operate around 3300 daily flights in september and october. the dallas-based airline says it plans to similar cuts in november and december with the exception for the holidays.

atlanta taking on the braves rain would delay the game in the bottom of the first by 25 minutes. there it is something we haven't seen here in the bay in a minute. >> before that, though, top of the first no score buster posey hits one opposite way to right. a giant stake in early 2. nothing lead on posey's blast. he will make his way around the bases. let's move on to the bottom of the 7th giants up a run. joe jorge soler one on for him. first pitch rockets. it high and deep to left kiss. that baby goodbye and just like that, the braves take the lead. top of the 9th 6, 5, braves last chance for the giants. tommy lastella gets a good piece of that sends it to right jock peterson at the wall leaps and makes the impressive catch to rob was still love the game. tying homer will smith loves the defense hands in the air that would do it giants was a heartbreaker themselves 6, 5. they snapped their six-game winning streak. they look to bounce back in game 2. coming

good saturday morning to you. it is 7.30 right now. want to get you a check of your forecast here. it's going to be a warm one yet again today on dave. >> yeah, good well, good morning, everybody. we're talking about those inland temperatures popping a 100 plus yet again, a very sultry day and coupled with all of that. the air quality will be bad and it looks like we'll do the same thing again tomorrow to we finally start to get some relief here of the winds coming in from the coast. again, that will come in probably by tomorrow by monday. afternoon. first things first, a couple beauty shots for you. quotation marks this the east bay shoreline, as you can see in kind of the

orange hue. you can see a little bit in place as as well as sfo. no delays happening there. but welcome to mars a little bit. it's what it looks like at the ballpark this afternoon for the temperatures mid 80's going on hot and hazy hardly any breeze at all. might get one of the northwest at about 5 tomorrow won't be as bad because temperatures will be relaxing ever so slightly in the game is a little later in the afternoon temperature check. we have the 60's 71 going on for antioch 50's up to the north bay. 64. meanwhile, san jose and word is building on these numbers. want to give you a quick check on those winds were going to get a little bit of breeze going on this afternoon only because probably fortunate, we have kind of an inland waterway like the bay here because that provides a little bit of this thermal gradient that drives a little bit in the way surface wind. so even though we don't have any help aloft. that is fighting us a bit with this high. we'll get a breeze today and tomorrow. but that will be very local in its not so not driven to help clean this all out. that doesn't get here, probably

till monday. the breakdown 88 by 11 by 2, we're talking 97 your 4 zone forecast. the extended and look at ida coming up at the well. >> thanks, dave. now to our top story this half hour proof of full covid-19 vaccination can soon be required here in california. talks in sacramento continue on the proposed legislation which is led by east bay assemblywoman buffy wicks and it would require customers and employees to prove they're fully vaccinated before being allowed in places like restaurants bars, gyms and hotels. the bill could be sent to the governor's desk within the next 3 weeks. experts say a statewide vaccine mandate would be legal. >> the state has a right to pass reasonable regulation. the public health. even if you think the fears was individual rights isn't everybody. it does seem to be those who are employed in the public places. and then those who want to attend public places so there's even a little bit more choice in the sense for up to peer. experts say legal

challenges to the mandate would also likely fail. >> state lawmakers still have to decide, though, whether they want to pass a bill with less than 3 weeks left in the legislative session or if they want to wait until january. a new study out of the uk finds people sick with the delta covid variant are twice as likely to need hospital care. this is compared to those with the alpha variant that was previously widespread and much of the world. the study which was published in the lancet and reinforces the importance of vaccinations, researchers examined more than 40,000 cases between march and may to compare those hospitalization rates. delta accounts for almost all covid cases in the u k today. in the meantime, more job listings are now requiring covid-19 vaccinations indeed. dot com says postings requiring candidates to be vaccinated are up 90% from july. analysts says the pfizer vaccine

receiving full fda approval is a game changer for employers says many were waiting for that before mandating the shot according to a recent gallup poll. 52 1% of all workers favor vaccine mandates on the job. another big story we're following this morning. u.s. officials once again warning americans to stay away from the kabul airport because of serious security threats with the military preparing to leave the war-torn country in just 3 days. the pentagon says it's preparing and bracing for more attacks by isis k our washington correspondent kellie meyer has the latest. >> in the final days of the draw down the risk to us troops and evacuees on the ground is growing. we still believe there are credible threats. i'd say specific credible threats. the pentagon says thursday's deadly explosion could be just the first attempt to disrupt evacuation efforts. we certainly are and would expect

a kind of thing it looks like it's hitting almost the exact same type of spot as well. that's all the colors ation you see there. obviously hurricane warnings, as noel said, it's a category one as we speak right now makes it just a minor hurricane. max winds at 85. but this water here, this time of year. it's bathtub water. it's an unusual to get surf temperatures that even approach 90 or something that's like pools in southern california. i mean, it's just really, really warm. so that's exactly what the systems need. the upper level systems. conditions are also favoring development so way we go. look at a pop to about 4 category 4 by landfall on sunday is what we're looking at there. that's why they have all that conversation for that. but quickly, it does to dissipate. as you can see, dropping off to tropical storm strength and back to a tropical depression by that point so it won't be long lasting in fast-moving, which is another good thing as well. maybe minimize some of the damage with that. meanwhile, just quickly on the west coast here. this is nora category one, it's actually taking the best track to keep itself alive as if it knew

better. but right here into the gulf into this gulf here. look at what happened to still hold as a category one, if it was on land, it wouldn't do so. and then it finally hits mexico, as you can see, as a tropical storm and stays pretty much the south it throws all this tropical moisture to the u.s. southwest, but there was some thinking perhaps model runs that perhaps was going to strike california coast as a possible but that's usually where those tropical systems on the west coast tend to come for 10 ago. meanwhile, here's what it looks like in half moon bay, hazy sunshine trying to clear out whatever fog we have back to the pollution and the bay, as you can see, we've got yellows in place over most of the real estate. but a little bit in the way of some oranges. once we start to get some of those winds that will improve slightly for us. and back to what the projections say in our forecast, there's the monsoon. the gets kicked the lie by what's left of nora as she comes towards to the north in western mexico temperature check for the 4 zone forecast 81 san francisco daly city 77 pacifica at about

iota made landfall. friday afternoon. the storm was upgraded to a category one hurricane just before it battered the island. it's now moving into the gulf coast and louisiana's governor has issued mandatory evacuation orders for several communities saying this storm could be devastating. >> by nightfall tomorrow night. you need to be where you intend ride out the storm. and you need to be postured as you would want to be as that storm approaches. you. >> this will be a life altering storm for those who are prepared. >> ida is expected to make landfall in louisiana tomorrow as a category 4 hurricane sunday, of course, is the 16th anniversary of the devastating hurricane katrina. lots of flashbacks. i'm sure for many of those families that dealt with katrina back then. now dealing with ida days. far has been tracking ida since last weekend and conditions out that way. for can't go into

category 4 when it's just that one right now by tomorrow. yeah, it's going to pop real real quick. the it's on the part of the world in a time of the year where these things do that in the gulf of mexico like that because that's basically bath water. >> some people didn't have to kuz is this it's up to 88 degrees or so near louisiana and warm water is very volatile for evaporation which helps create the systems keeps them going and over water that tend to be very stable it's over land. they become more unstable and the winds are really kind of as a sidebar issue in terms of the energy of a hurricane. 97% of its last and heat to the atmosphere into space. only a little 3% as consequential to down to the surface where you get winds almost like waste energy. max winds, by the way, speaking of which 85 so it's a category one. now. but projected to pop real, real quickly over the next 24 to 36 hours. max winds at last check, maybe about one 30 before landfall category 4 status is getting near katrina and the same type of location that katrina struck, just some 16 or so years ago. so there

certainly are you see at the warnings already in place in southern louisiana, but they extend all the way back. you can see and forward as you can see, up to mississippi and even alabama little bit as well. this thing is going to lose a lot of its punch very quickly become a tropical depression. all the way by tuesday into wednesday meanwhile, on the west coast, we're watching this earlier. this is nora now max winds at 80. it's only a category one going to the gulf of california. this water is very, very warm to in the upper 80's as well. so that's going to keep it going to take in the right pathway there until strikes land in the western mexico. this is more of dog bites man we're looking at some possibilities and long range forecast models. it's ended up near around san diego that spanned biting dog there. that's really unusual. it has happened and that was going to be historic if it did. but this is the typical track since all that moisture. the southwest, which is basically going to just get some and more energy to the monsoon. here's what's going on here along the coast. as you can

want to pass the bill with less than 3 weeks left in the legislative session or if they want to wait until january. a new study out of the uk finds people sick with the delta covid variant are twice as likely to need hospital care. this is compared to those with the alpha variant that was previously widespread and much of the world. the study published in the lancet reinforces the importance of vaccinations, researchers examined more than 40,000 cases between march and may to try and compare those hospitalization rates. delta variant accounts for almost all covid cases there in the u k. meantime, more job listings are now requiring covid-19 vaccinations indy dot com says postings requiring candidates to be vaccinated are up 90% from july. analysts say the pfizer vaccine receiving that full fda approval earlier this week. it's a game changer for employers. a lot of them were waiting for that approval before mandating the shot.

nursing shortage here and nationally has made it difficult for us to keep that promise in some instances when shortages happen. we access additional support from nursing staffing agencies. we like most bay area hospitals are recruiting and hiring to ensure we can deliver the high quality care our community expects from us. david vegas as covid-19 has challenged front-line workers in hospitals across the country. are struggling with staffing. they're in need of nurses to provide patient care and are doing what they can to retain and recruit new nurses did something really bad would happen. who's going to find if you put your light on you know, call comes. as for olga crews, she says she'll be at the hospital for a bit longer she says the care she is receiving is great. it's just the time it takes to receive it. that's concerning. you should feel safe. >> i don't feel safe because i know that if i put on my life when i really needed it. nobody comes so. anybody would

beeline louisiana. new orleans will be on the eastern side of the system. so therefore, that's where most of the rougher weather tends to be with the systems on the east side. good news is it's a quick mover. so even though we've got these max winds at one 30 projected by that time category 4. it continues to move fairly quickly that we want. we like seeing that by tuesday as you can see, and wednesday already a tropical depression and heavy rains expected up the ohio valley. meanwhile on our nor up. that's a category one. never going to become anything more than that. it's taking gulf of california route perfectly to maintain its strength a little bit because the eye is going to be over that warm water as well. this is actually warmer than the gulf of mexico. so that's going to keep it alive for a little while. finding hits mexico's a tropical storm and then falls apart. the remnants get thrown to the southwest. so that's going to fortify their monsoon. good news from our standpoint. is that going to stay all south not go up. the spine of the

sierra and then cause maybe some thunder shower activity, half moon we have little bit of fog lingering a little bit, but it's the hazy sunshine. we've grown a little familiar to as of late this dome of high pressure is just not going to give us a break, at least not happening. some help horizontally as we get some inland heating just a little bit for an onshore wind back to the west coast in terms of projections. you can see the the southwest explode up a little bit. that's that tropical moisture left from that system. again staying far our southeast 4 zone forecast to check into saturday will do about 81 san francisco again, it's minus the winds that makes every difference in the world when the winds start, we can't get that high 74 going on for half moon bay 80's cover good chunk of bay side along the peninsula here in the 90's down south palo alto 97 for redwood city in the south bay 93 for san jose cupertino 97 lower 90's on the east bay shoreline to the south. one '02 livermore tri

valley. we're also popping 100 plus for danville. you can see walnut creek these locations that will see the lower 80's by the end of the week. so big change 80 for berkeley delay. what 82 you take the wind out. that's what you get. 99 for. fairfield 95 for napa. 98 santa rosa more 90's heading down south. you even know valley about 86 there. so going forward with the 7 day forecast. we go from 100, one 96 tomorrow. big time changes as we finish off week into the 80's east bay shoreline will return to the upper 60's. noel, thanks, dave. we are 2 weeks away from the 20th anniversary. >> of september 11th. hard to believe it's been 2 decades a day filled with emotion and heartache for many, but especially for those directly affected by the terror attacks that morning. the world trade center was filled with people expecting a regular work day when tragedy struck that includes a northeast ohio man who survived the attack. he sat down with reporter matt wright and shares the story.

announcements telling people to return to their offices. >> we had firefighters and emergency personnel heading up. we're heading down and the same stairs he was halfway down when he felt the building shake as the second plane hit close to the floor. he had just escaped. what were you feeling where you panicking probably even scarier than the initial jolt that move the building was. >> you know, every minute or so you would hear bunch us steel and concrete moving around up above your head. steve navigated to an exit and on to the streets funding them filled with debris and injured people on the street. i saw big chunk of the engine that was in like a lobby of a bank that it was. >> you know, blown a hole right through the glass building. he then moves north away from the burning buildings when he heard a loud noise. a sudden that i see the building falling right in front of me. that's what that was. and that's what was making the noise and i just turned and ran steve ducked into a building as that cloud

of dust and debris swept over. then he continued on getting far enough away to find a working pay phone to call his wife back home in northeast ohio, everything happens for a reason. >> yeah, i had more to do his pick steve up and bring him - home to their 2 young daughters, a 3rd daughter born a year later. had a wife young. young, a young family to take care of him. sorry, i got the chance to do that. 20 years later, the images of that day still resonate with steve. so do the moments of heartbreak and compassion. he says he'll never forget. yeah, definitely that's for sure. mathematically look at what are the chances of being in that building on that day. and then being able to escape and a lot of people take it up. a lot of people didn't in copley, matt wright, fox 8 news.
