By the looks of that last one we may be getting a haze again in a day or two. We are in stiff NW wind now and that curl looks like it's headed our way.
Thanks for the pics Bruce.

Was really spooky here this morning. A relatively thin but heavy layer on the water and we were in it. Seems to have lifted and pushed east a bit. Looks like the jet stream is involved.

Here we go again... Bay Area blanketed by smoke and heat...
San Jose reported nearly 1200 homeless camp fire calls... works out to be about 3 per day...
The tragic Oakland Fire Storm 3000 homes lost was due to a transient encampment.
Of course 13000 lightning strikes resulting in hundreds of fires is Mother Nature at work.
Nearly 86000 homes remain threatened with 4 million acres burned...
Only twice since 1878 has St Helena hospital been evacuated and both times occured in the last 5 weeks... some evacuated by helicopter as fire reached hospital grounds.
But no worries the Oakland A's advance...

SF Chronicle: 20 major fires burning in California, with nearly 4 million acres incinerated so far, well past the previous record year of 1.54 million acres scorched.
Statewide, fires have consumed a record 3.9 million acres, nearly 4% of the state's land mass. 30 people have died in the California wildfires and 7,200 structures have been destroyed.
... and a lot of season yet to go, said Chief Tom Porter, director of Cal Fire. "It will take decades to ramp up the system to combat fire season more firefighters land management defensible spaces hardening of homes, he said. We need every piece of the system to be raised to meet the challenge that a changing climate is giving us, every acre in California can and will burn someday and we need to embrace that and become resilient to it.
Cal Fire said they were pushing as many resources as possible to the Glass Fire, but aircraft and ground crews were spread thin.
The record fire season has created an all hands on deck environment, which now includes 2,200 military personnel helping fight, map and assess damage in fire areas, said General David Baldwin, of the Army National Guard. We're in this fight from the ground, to the air and even using space-based assets for our airmen in the Air National Guard that are part of the new Space Force
Dry conditions continued to fuel wildfires in Northern California where the state's largest-ever blaze, the August Complex in Mendocino County, continued to grow, charring close to a million acres. ... 47% contained.

It's going to be smoky for a while.

The dark sky is smoke and temps pushing 100...
