system, you can see all that smoke headed north right now and you see the brown and red there. that is the thick of smoke in forecast models. you watch as we take time getting more of the south westerly component of the wind and all of sudden that sends it really up for the tahoe area then almost directly eastward as we head throughout the night tonight and tomorrow morning. and i think that will be the case. we've got a trough of low pressure moving along the coastline and that will vastly effect the direction of that smoke. the same time at the surface here, we've got a sea breeze kicking in a westerly component that's bringing that nice, fresh air off the ocean water. so really, we're looking pretty good. and you've got some nice air quality for most of the bay area. one of the center's in mill valley start to show some moderate amounts of plude's but otherwise looking good outside in the forecast for tomorrow. looks pretty good, too. we're going to see that on shore breeze continue. of course, we start now with low clouds and the fog by the afternoon. you're seeing lots of sunshine and couple patches of fog lingering along the coastline. so good air quality looking like the bay area

market longer than this time last year. and compared with the last few years. >> and a big reason is buyers are they're uncertain about what the future holds. >> home sales typically slow down in the summer when families take time off from work and school. this after inventories in a year to date low in the winter. but stark says buyers are sitting on the sidelines because rising interest rates have driven them out of the market and they are willing to wait for better opportunities. during 2019 prices actually stabilized for the first time about 10 years. >> and we could be heading into a a similar market where there's actually some price stability, homes on the market little bit longer. little bit more negotiation between buyers and sellers some opportunities for buyers are going. and market data shows san ramon, dublin and newark have the highest percentage increases in homes available for sale over the past year. >> phillipe djegal all kron. 4 news. >> san francisco, animal care and control is currently at
