this is a look at the fires in northern california. fast the ferguson, the mendocino, and the carr fire. firefighters dealing with dry conditions, strong winds and very hot inland. it's different by the water but these fires are to the north and east. they are sending a lot of parking particles into the sky. the wind direction is from the northwest. so locations north and east of the fires are smokey this morning. by later this afternoon it will be more of a west flow. that means areas east of the fires will be getting more of that smoke. you can't see the smoke out here on this imagery but we'll keep an eye out for that. also have some moisture across the sierra, so they have a little activity there, a little rain coming down near lake tahoe. that's associated with the monsoonal moisture that comes with the ridge of high pressure that's bringing on the heat. here we are at the golden gate bridge, where it's foggy. this is where the smoke is not necessarily going to reach us, and it's also cool. we have the onshore breeze helping clear

at abc >> this is the "california spotlight," sponsored by the california department of public health. >> hello there. today's "california spotlight" is shining brightly on the topic of flavored tobacco. joining me today to discuss the concerns the california department of public health has about these products for our youth is dr. pam ling. good to see you. thanks for being here and for discussing what really is an important topic. now, in california, you have to be 21 years old to purchase tobacco products, so just how is it that our teens are getting their hands on these products, and why is it seemingly so easy? >> well, flavored tobacco is available in basically any convenience store or corner store, and if a kid goes into a store all the time, they get to know the owner. sometimes they can still purchase a product even though they're not 21. the internet is also an incredibly easy way for kids to buy tobacco products. so they can order it on their phone, and 94% of kids who try to buy tobacco on the internet are able to do so. >> dr. ling, why does the california department of p
