red flag warnings in effect, not just for the bay area but through the central valley out into the sierra nevada until 11:00am this morning. current temperatures are in the 50's and 60's. so it's a cool start to the day and it's actually going to be a really comfortable day once these remaining showers clear themselves out of the picture. reyna don, thanks for that. we do have some accidents out. there are no major hot spots like we did at the start of the morning. >> here in san jose to 80 northbound south of guadalupe parkway and you can see we're seeing a slight delay along 2.80 and one. oh, one as well. out here in mountain view. you have another accident northbound 1, one at san antonio road as a like much of a delay here. we're going to keep a close eye on that one heading into the city's traffic starts to pick up a little under 14 minutes. you're going want to take your time because the bridge is a lot of our highways were wet from that rain this morning that we just showed you as you head across towards the peninsula. little under 15 minutes. no major issues or delays starting jam

in the sierra longer than it will here in the bay area. so we do have fire danger stretching from the bay all the way into the sierra as we so see so much cloud to ground lightning. let's start with start with this cell right here. stretching from vallejo through fairfield all the way up to vacaville now and down to concord and even further south towards walnut creek. very active area of pockets of heavy rain and then lots of lightning or right around the car. keen as up along 80 into solano county. active morning up there right now. a couple of pockets of rain fall elsewhere zooming in on the peninsula. some rainfall center just south of san bruno and also seeing some showers right around bay points and then towards san leandro up in the south southern edges of oakland and alameda too. a pocket of some moderate rainfall there. red flag warnings remain in effect through 11:00am for the bay area. the central valley and much of the sierra nevada as we do see a fortunately, a pairing of this rainfall with that lightning which so much of which

in the south lake tahoe from a pge camera that's at sierra at tahoe. we can see here from this shot just how smoky and. dusty and dirty the air is as they continue that firefight. i'm meteorologist john shrable has a look at the forecast. >> well, here in the bay area today. it's all about the sunshine san jose looking really good with all that sun overhead for the sierra nevada. it's much the opposite. this is your view right here from heavenly. and you can see just how much smoke is settled up into the sierra nevada. part of the reason for this is that smoke has been pushed out by the southwesterly winds for the bay area and those smoke plumes really settling into the lake tahoe basin red flag warnings remain in effect through 11:00pm tonight across the sierra nevada as winds continue to gust 25 to 35 miles per hour. this pushing the caldor fire ever closer to south lake tahoe of course, we've got crews out. they're mopping up those hot spots, especially in myers that community just south of the lake as for air quality will continue to be looking at

so from the bay area through the central valley to the sierra. we're all under red flag warnings through 11:00am this morning. current temperatures are in the 50's and 60's. it's a cool start to what will be a comfortable afternoon. skies will clear quickly today and a good chance to enjoy your friday. reyna. john, thanks for that. we'll have some good news in regards to those 2 hot spots. we're tracking. >> the one here didn't reveal a eastbound east of posture. they just open up all the lanes there. so thankfully, we're going to able to move along pretty nicely this morning and not take that alternative. san pablo avenue. another one out here in fairfield, 80 westbound west travis boulevard. they just open up all the lanes here. so hopefully those delays were seen was telling people to take texas street to get around that you'll just be able to wait it out as traffic starts to improve heading into the city a little under 12 minutes. you can see the bridge is a little wet. we had a stalled vehicle there earlier this morning near the bridge. and

this is an image from just a couple seconds go up at sierra at tahoe. this was an area where you can actually see some hot spots in the distance. still burning there in the sierra obviously as the sun comes up now and showing more so that glow, that burning glow that you are seeing across much of the sierra this morning. i mentioned that red flag warnings have expired. this is your best of news today. the not so good news as we work into the weekend is temperatures are going to get warmer and it's going to stay just as dry. so fire crews all these homes certainly not out of the woods just yet. but, you know, you're in the best hands possible up there. it looks like they're doing everything that they can as far as air quality goes, we are in the midst of moderate conditions as winds die down. that has a negative effect on the bay area. certainly good up in the sierra for us to just mean smoke has a chance to work its way back in and you're seeing the start of that happening today. likely some more haze into the weekend here across the bay 50's and 60's f

most of this energy has shifted out into the sierra nevada. as you can see right here, we do have one lone what lightning strike releasing this energy coming down. we just saw a red flag warnings. expiring moments ago for almost all of the north bay aside from solano county and then the inland east the central valley in the sierra are still in the midst of red flag warnings through 11:00am 50's and 60's for current temperatures. brentwood. you're at 74 the exception. well, berkeley at 58 oakland sitting nicely at 63 thank you for that. while we have a lot of accidents. we've got some good news here like this one down in the south. they want to win. >> northbound south of oakland road. they just cleared this accident off of the highway there. so hopefully soon enough you're going to be seen that are conditions along one. oh, one, the same for this accident. northbound 1 one at woodside road just clear the roadway. you're still seeing a delay, though, this is in redwood city. so if you don't want to wait until that clears out to 80 would be a go

that certainly helps the situation up in the sierra nevada. we still do have a couple of isolated thunderstorms popping up in the sierra is really the only region of the state where we are seeing any sort of red flag warnings remaining those of all since expired for the bay area. now, as for future cast, there's your thunderstorms still existing up in the sierra nevada. you notice it's very quiet for the bay. lots of sunshine. a little cloud cover remains at the coast, even into the afternoon. but a really, really gorgeous day ahead of us. we're now just going to enjoy what is behind this cold front, which is that cooler air and certainly much cleaner air quality, good conditions across the board across the bay area easy day to get out there, breathe deeply and just enjoy. what's going to be a nice feel to it. 60's for highs in san francisco in right along the coastline. those of us along the bay will enjoy a range of 70's today and then some 80's at are very warmest for our inland areas san jose right at 80 degrees today. we've got livermore

up in the sierra for the caldor fire in the tahoe area. because of the dangerous fire weather conditions. future cast wind gusts and you can see as we head through the day for the tahoe area, the winds will pick up to just about 20 to 30, as high as 40 miles an hour and then as we go through tomorrow, even with that red flag warning, that will expire. we are going to see strong winds and low relative humidity dropping down to the single digits. very dry air in place for the tahoe area. for us for the bay area we are looking at that strong ocean breeze. cooler temperatures. in fact the coolest day of the week. we are looking at below average temperatures for tomorrow as well. heating up especially inland as we look to the labor day weekend. good to moderate air quality. no surface smoke concentration future cast as we go through the day. maybe a little bit of haze. still looking good at ground level for the air and looking at the least a little bit of haze for thursday. that strong on shore breeze continues for today as that low pressure sy
