meteorologist vianey arana is here now and vianey come you can see how much of an impact it had. >> thed on where the wind is blowing. within the next couple of hours, we will start to see the hazy skies. it looks like a lot of this might stay into the upper area but with the weather conditions they are still really dry with humidity less than 20% and temperatures expected to climb into the 90s. we're not really expecting any relief when it comes to the heat in the area. i will have a closer look at how we are doing in a few minutes but first we have to look at the roads with mike inoye . >> the headlights are on. this might be some haze as well drifting through the area. so far we have a steady flow of traffic at the bay bridge as well as the approach. the speeds continue to improve. they are the best they will be at this point in the morning. there is nothing major going on but look at 280 weather is slowing. >> thank you so much, mike. >>> the search is still on for the shooter who killed a father of three in the north bay. this marin county on cole drive. the neighborhood stranger t

. >> for now we want to check in with meteorologist vianey arana. the dry conditions are really making the situation challenging . >> that creates fuel for the fire. if it is dry, windy, and hot, those are the three main factors at play. if we look right now at the current conditions, it is about 70's degree is. through the afternoon wind and 1:00 look up quickly the temperatures go up into the 80s at 85 degrees and this is when we start to see the breezy winds in up. because of the low humidity it is fueling the fire but it doesn't help when it comes to the impact. the air quality advisory was extended until today and you still look at the hazy sky through parts of the east bay inland and also the northbay. keep an eye on that . we are keeping an eye on the impact at the surface and right now the air quality remains moderate but you definitely want to check out the bay area air quality management district and you can check out your local spot at www.nbcbayarea.com to learn the numbers in your area. back to you . >> thank you so much, vianey. >>> sa

the vianey arana has extended this air quality advisory . we reported on this yesterday.d it through tomorrow because concerns of the oak fire which is burning in mariposa county. incidentally, as a result of the oak fire and other wildfires in recent years, california has some of the worst air quality in the country. according to the air-quality life index put up by the energy policy institute at the university of chicago, this report found in 2020, 19 california counties ranked in the top 20 nationwide for the most polluted counties. none of the counties were in the bay area. they were in the sierra foothills and the central valley. california's central valley comedy particulate pollution levels, they found that they exceeded national and international standards. here is a great visual as to why. on the left side you can see satellite photo of the oak fire. that is from friday. on the right side you see yesterday and you can see a long plume of smoke traveling north for hundreds of miles in the sierra nevada. law enforcement and firefighters have told hundreds of people

. >>> meteorologist vianey arana is joining us. the air-quality something you watch very closely. >> absolutely. the change in the wind could smoke blow in our direction or away from us. traps particles at the service level. that plays a role in the air- quality. as we inch closer to the weekend, temperatures heat up as high pressure continues and that's important to play into when it comes to air quality. let's talk about the fire conditions and the impact this will have. look at the temperature trend. one thing unfortunately working against us is how dry we are. there is a bit of a breeze from the southwest at 14 miles per hour. we will see temperatures bump up into the upper 80s and 90s. as of right now, the air- quality forecast for today according to the air-quality management district, from the north bay to the south bay, it's good but there is an advisory in place because the air-quality can change, you know, in just one little area depending on the direction of the winds. even though it may be good in the north bay or san f

first, let's get a look at the forecast with vianey arana tracking what we can expect. >> and it's going to be a cloudy start. a live look over san jose. you can see the cloud cover but temperatures will start in the 50s for the most part. this afternoon expect a range of temperatures. we have good clearing and inland temperatures. look at the temperature trend. around 10:00 or 11:00 we climb into the upper 60s. in san jose we are expecting that marine layer to hang out a little bit longer and areas t a like san francisco. carl the fog likes to stick around. here's a live look at san francisco. i will take you through your afternoon highs and what to expect in the extended forecast coming up . >>> let's take a look toward the niles canyon area. you cannot drive on 84. not connecting between 680 and mission. typical overnight roadwork and we look at 5:00 for the reopening. dublin interchange is fine. at the altamont pass we've seen speeds just start to dip below 65 miles per hour. no surprise. vasco is at speed from brent word and toward 580. south bay and peninsula moving slowly. no prob

vianey is in this morning. >> it's going to get pretty hot. potentially triple digits through some spots like tracy on saturday and sunday. starting off in the 50s and it will get warm really fast. look at daytime highs today. it will be in the 80s in san jose. san francisco, expect early morning fog and then it clears out with mostly sunny conditions and we are monitoring air- quality because of the burning wildfires nearby. there's an air-quality adviser in effect we will talk about that and what to expect saturday and sunday so you can make weekend plans. first we need to look at the rhodes. >> have been working on this drawing. it's in 3-d now. this is the bay bridge. this is an actually the cards. this represents the speed limit and a light volume into san francisco out of the east bay. a nice smooth and easy drive with green sensors. it's an early commute and friday commute and that means light traffic. a smooth drive through the south bay. no delays and the smooth flow of traffic out of san martin. palo alto, volume picking up and also

let's go to vianey . >> and it's wednesday morning. expect patchy fog around the coastline come up but also clouds in inland areas. he was the and mix of sun and clouds to the afternoon with daytime highs in the 60s and 70s around the bay and the peninsula daytime highs in the south bay, mid and upper 80s. san jose, 82. gilbert, 84. and through the east bay, concord, 87. dental, 88. oakland and hayward in the upper 60s and low to mid 70s. in the peninsula , breezy wind at times, especially in san francisco. mid-60s. sonoma, 85. santa rosa, 79. this will set us up for a comic weather pattern. we may catch a morning drizzle on the coastline but by saturday and sunday we will once again see the return of cloud cover and temperatures in inland areas of the upper 80s until friday and then we keep a steady pattern as we edge toward saturday and sunday making for a lovely weekend to look forward to. >>> folks may not be looking forward to slowing but you have that and you typically have it in this area through vacaville pick speeds are improv

meteorologist vianey arana has a look at that . how's it looking? >> i got you covered. i'm more of a scratcher kind of girl. that's more my thing but i have not bought one of those in a while. maybe it is waiting for you, or me. let's talk about current temperatures in san jose. starting in the 60s but it is cloudy. we do have that monsoonal moisture from that system yesterday although any chance of rain is to the east. by 10:00 or 11:00 we see more sunshine and inland areas. temperatures will bump into the 70s by the lunch hour. around san francisco, carl the fog will linger longer. very typical this time of year. at 12:00 we will be in the 60s and wind speed is calm but it will get breezy again. also we do see some drizzle on the coastline so if you do notice that on your windshield this morning during your drive on the peninsula, don't worry. we are not really tracking any rain, although we do need it, and then heading into the week ahead we do have some changes. i will guide you through that in a few minutes. >>> brunch with carl. definitely further inland for the d

meteorologist vianey arana is here and tracking buyer conditions . >> we have been monitoring air quality and all of that one thing that will help us today is this system from the desert southwest that we have been watching. when it came to the possibility of activity in the sierra and take a look at radar. we have lightning strikes off of contra costa county that are showing up along with drizzle through parts of the east bay. we also saw lightning strikes over parts of the south bay. we won't get any real rain from this but it should help clear out or cleat keep out the gunk from the air as it pushes through. the air quality advisory was extended for another day because the wildfire is very active and we will have the possibility of that upper air pushing into the bay area mainly for the north and east bay through the afternoon. there will be a some haze but the system will cool us off a bit. it will also help keep that smoke out of the area. >>> now let's get a check of the roads. >> early right now so we have light traffic which means everywhere has the speed limit. a stretch of the c

vianey arana is in for kari . >> nice to see you. it's foggy on the coastline and it will be hot in inland areas and heading into the weekend. let's get to that san jose look. overall we are starting peaceful . temperatures are in the 50s. it doesn't feel too cold. mild to start. you don't need a heavy coat, not even a light sweater because in some areas it will get warm very fast. let's talk about satellite and radar you can see that cloud cover on the coastline but we do have high pressure that's been dominating the past couple of days and that's keeping us dry and very warm. another thing we've been watching have been those king tides and there's a coastal flood advisory in place for bay shore and pacific. this is expected to impact coastal trails and roads with localized flooding near the area starting at 11:00 p.m. tonight through 4:00 a.m. tomorrow for the highlighted areas. if you're on the coastline early tomorrow morning, some people like to go for a run, admire it from a safe distance. let's talk about the forecasted highs

this morning meteorologist vianey arana shows us one change we can implement today to help. >> there'schance you might have one of these, are may be multiple. i do. i keep one in my gym bag and one at home and maybe one at work. but what happens when you lose them or it's time to replace them? can you recycle these? here's the problem. most of us may have never thought about recycling a hairbrush but is it even possible? it depends on the materials they are made of and that's the tough part. many times they are a mix of things like plastic, boar bristle's and glue. that can't be sorted and often it's not accepted at the recycling centers which means it's tossed into the landfill which can take thousands of years to break apart leaving behind harmful microplastics. it's time for your climate hack. reading the list of materials about a product of made of is important. for example these bamboo brushes or combs are great because they are made from natural materials. bamboo is biodegradable and compostable which means if you lose one of these and it's in the landfill, it will break apart ma

. >>> time to check in with meteorologist vianey. i went on a walk today. it is a little bit cooler than yesterday. >> even then we saw triple digits and we'll see a system that's going to impact us heading into the week just to the east of us bringing a slight cool down as well for the interior. let's look at your temperature trend. san francisco was actually one of our cooler spots today. if you noticed wind speeds right now from the northwest at about 20 miles per hour, we've certainly got a nice breeze going with the overnight lows dipping down into those 50s and expect to see some of that early morning cloud cover much like we have seen the past couple of days. right now in san jose it's about 79 degrees. a light wind from the northwest at about 13 miles per hour. if you look at your temperature trend into the south bay, overnight lows will be in the 60s, upper 50s. not really a cold night. we still have that high pressure sitting over the bay area. current temperatures out the door in livermore 89 degrees and 88 still and 90s up through parts of the t
