but the fire that is farther to the south, the sand fire is in one of the most critical drought areas we've seen. they didn't get as much rain over the winter. it looks like it's still going to be very dry there. also, a shift in the upper level wind brings in some of the smoke in the farther inland areas into the valleys at near ground level. the winds will be rushing in. that could cause more of a concern today as they try to get containment on the wild fires. here we're going to have hot weather. not as hot as over the weekend. we're coming down from triple digits in spots like fairfield, concord, and livermore. it will be warm. and the coastal areas will be in the 60s. i'll talk more about that coming up in less than ten minutes. mike has a slow drive that continues past the san mateo bridge. >> yeah. related to the first crash we've been talking about. there may be a second farther south. most of the bay looking good. the concentration for the southbound 880. still a big rig on the shoulder. we don't know whether all lanes are cleared. there's a slow down approaching that scene.
