August is coming in hot
Woodside Fire Smoke The Smoke Path: High-resolution tracking shows heavy smoke from the Woodside Fire pushing into the Sonoma County valleys and across the North Bay. Blasting northwest winds of 25 to 30 mph are hitting the active wildfire site this evening, pushing the smoke parallel to the Sonoma coast before dragging it straight through the Petaluma Gap and dumping it into the inland valleys. If you live in northern and western Sonoma County you should monitor the Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District, while the rest of the Bay Area should track the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for real-time air quality closures and particulate safety. Saturday Heat Wave Peak The Sizzle: High pressure over the Desert Southwest is compressing the marine layer and forcing temperatures well above averages. Highs will tick a few degrees hotter tomorrow. Expect mid-60s at the beaches, comfortable mid-70s to low 80s around the Bays, and roasting 90s to 104°F across the inland valleys.

U.S. launches new air strikes on Iran as peace talks fall apart
The United States is carrying out a new round of heavy air strikes against the regime in Iran. Both countries have been trading attacks — Iran earlier this week launched missiles at a military base in Jordan, all of which were intercepted. Iran is also claiming to have struck two oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. A cyber attack on dozens of water systems in Minnesota was also reportedly the work of Iranian hackers, though President Trump downplayed the seriousness, and blamed Minnesota on account of being "grossly incompetent."
