the students, we have a crew on the way and we have the very latest tonight at 11. a live look outside, and, yeah, as paul mentioned, what an amazing sunset. you throw little smoke up in the air, we can get a pretty good look at the sunset. >> there is still a decent amount of smoke and the atmospre but here ground level we have to breathe that, things are getting better. let's go back in time. just to 1:00 this afternoon. the air quality was not great at that point but it has been improving, every hourly update has brought us better and better air quality across more and more of the bay area. you can see the green dots expanding and now there is more spots that have good air quality than any other category. it is going to continue to improve. mostly in the good category again tomorrow, northbay, may still be the moderate category, just closer proximity to those fires to the north.

some of that smoke sticking down, even with the stronger onshore breeze pushing most of the smoke farther off to the east and northeast. look at that sunset looking to the west from salesforce tower, toward sutro tower. the fog is making its way in. we will see that spreading into some of the inland valleys. 63 degrees at the moment, but it is also bringing temperatures down quite a bit further inland. data 70 in livermore, 77 in concord, after high temperature of 92 degrees, so already a 15 degree drop, all sorts of benefits from that onshore breeze. temperatures tonight dropping down mostly to the 50s, i think the warmest spot will amount tomorrow morning, right around 60 degrees, the first day of fall, fall officially arrived at 6:30 tomorrow morning, it will feel like what it should feel like, temperatures in the low 60s along the coast, a bit on the cool side but mostly mid to upper 70s. with low to mid 80s for the santa clara valley.

the hotspots will be east of the diablo range as usual but even there, temperatures are short of 90 degrees, low to mid 80s for the tri-valley with a mix of upper 60s and low 70s around the central bay, upper 70s and low 80s toward the northbay. all these numbers within 2 to 3 degrees of where they should be for this time of year. high temperatures reaching up into the mid-80s. pretty normal weather as we head to most of this week, as the storm system makes its way into the pacific northwest, we're not going to see any rain out of that on thursday but a little more cloud cover. it will help to reinforce the onshore breeze and drop our temperatures a little more. welcome rain for the pacific northwest before we see some big changes as we finish off the work week and heading to the first weekend of fall. the last weekend of september. the heat don't is going to be back, yet another in the sequel of these hot with the events that we have had with more near record high temperatures likely across the bay area especially by sunday and monday. the hottest days in this next stretch of hot weather. we have that to look forward to. we will keep you updated, it is possible we will see triple digit temperatures inland by sunday and monday. right now is to with forecasting temperatures well into the 90s by that point, enjoy the nice weather over the next several days.
