Temperatures were expected to dip into the 70s in the hottest spots of the region Friday.
A haze of brown and gray hovered above the East Bay portion of the Bay Area as the sun rose for the final time in August this year, and fresh air smelled non-existent.
“We’re seeing a difference in the amount of wildfire smoke,” Bay Area Air Quality Management District spokesperson Tina Landis said. “We’re really expecting to see improvement as the day goes on.” More clearing is on the horizon, according to Landis and weather forecasters. Northerly winds that helped funnel wild-fire smoke from vegetation fires burning in southern Oregon and far Northern California into the region are expected to shift into a more normal Bay Area pattern.
