supervisor was able to reach the father the next morning. >>> apple's responding to cla >>> meteorologist mike nico has left me alone in the studio today. he is talking about the temperature but out in the field. so, mike, had you seen it look out there today? >> reporter: it feels great out there, reggie. and so far we are going to get better air quality. the sky is actually just a little bit clearer than it was this time yesterday. let's take a look from walnut creek and we'll show you one of those areas that could have poor air quality later on. this one is going to be good. we checked that before we allowed everybody to come out here and do some manual labor. what they're doing is amazing. wul nut creek to the south bay that's probably where we're going to have our poorest air quality. ful uone of those most sensitive to the air because of the smoke and fires created to our north then just stay inside one more day and run the air conditioner. we've got another concern i want to talk about and also it pertains to those fires once again. and unfortunately those winds are going to pick up starting

let's go over to meteorologist mike nico. wow, that is something to hear. the second largest fire in state history. this morning i think we were saying it was the sixth largest. >> can't seem to contain it. it just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. here's the newest outline for both the ranch and river fire. the river fire stayed the same. the ranch fire continues to spread. notice the winds are down just a little bit except over the river fire where our observation is about 2,500 feet. you can still see some wind in the higher parts up there. and then they'll calm down during the overnight hours and hopefully that will help the firefighters. but definitely the temperatures are going to be an issue. as we ramp up into the 100s and the temperatures will be even warmer for the carr fire firefighters. well over 100 all the way to the weekend. a look otoat our 100 degree temperatures coming up. >>> today the three main roads into yosemite valley have been taken over by firefighters who are working around the clock to keep the flames from advancing anymore.
