Summer heat and poor air quality return to our neighborhoods today through Wednesday.

High pressure over the Pacific Northwest reverses the cooling sea breeze that dominated the rest or our summer.

High pressure puts a lid on the atmosphere.  The sinking air traps our pollution near the ground.  The sinking air along with the loss of venting our air into the Central Valley creates unhealthy conditions around the Bay.
