Wildfire smoke has drifted into the Bay Area and has prompted an air quality advisory through Saturday.
Hikers at the lookout point on Grizzly Peak Friday afternoon found the view looked a bit hazy., prompting the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to issue an air quality advisory at least through Saturday.
"Usually with air quality advisories it’s mostly visual impacts but in some cases there may be hyper local issues for air quality," said Walter Wallace, with BAAQMD. The sky will look hazy, and most of the Bay Area will have "moderate" air quality. "It’s not enough to call a spare the air alert, and its mainly because most of the smoke we are seeing is aloft and it’s not at ground level," said Wallace.SEE ALSO:"It’s heartbreaking to know there’s wildfires out there and this is fire season, so I have a lot of concern about my friends that live here, their families and their homes," said Brenda Barys, who was visiting from Miami.
People with respiratory issues should limit exposure, and if you smell smoke, it’s best to go inside.
