some of the worst air we've had all year. as wildfire smoke filters into the bay area from as far away as canada. kpix 5's andria borba tells us it's not going anywhere tomorrow either. >> reporter: just in the past few hours, a little wind has come through and knocked out some of the smoke here in san francisco where i'm standing on the embarcadero. hours ago you could not see the tower, that is not the case right now. you can see it. but tomorrow is said to be yet another spare the air day. in the city by the bay, the world famous landmarks are playing peekaboo. not through a purple haze but a smoky one. >> when i landed, mike uber driver did tell me about the fire and haze, my eyes got a little itchy. >> reporter: the air was nearly thick enough to chew, thanks to the flames burning from border to border. >> so many wildfires over the west coast that we are seeing wildfire smoke impacts from fires as far as british columbia and pacific northwest.

it's hard to pinpoint exactly which fires are impacting the bay area today. >> reporter: the perp -- the postcard were the shot, not shrouded by the fog but smoke. >> the smoke that was above the fog layer before has now mixed in with the fog and is also being trapped by the fog at the ground level. >> reporter: you can see the smoke on the water from chopper five, and choking the views of a fiery sunset in the sky from our cameras stop -- atop the salesforce tower. the air quality this afternoon, unhealthy for everyone. making that sunset jog or surf a bad idea for your lungs. >> it's short of breath but you get used to it. >> reporter: sarah of the air quality management district says this is the best rule of thumb to remember. >> the key is if you are seeing or smelling the smoke, that's when you know the smoke is impacting your breathing. >> reporter: the bay area air

quality management district says to expect smoky conditions through sunday. on the other hand, the national weather service said we should see some improvement by tomorrow evening. live in san francisco, andria borba, kpix 5 news. check out this time lapse from the observatory on top of mt. hamilton, you can see the skies were fairly clear as the fog rolled away, but then smoke rolled in. covering the hills and haze, it is ugly out there. >> this should be a nice crystal clear view, not a cloud in the sky, that is all smoke from chopper five. the air quality even tonight, now that we don't have the visibility, we lost the sunlight, it is still bad, the red dots from san francisco to oakland, san jose east to livermore including fremont and redwd city, air quality is unhealthy with aqi levels above 150. anything over 100 is unhealthy. let's talk about why. ocean breeze which is supposed to clear things out. not in this case. lots of fires, hundreds of

fires burning to our north, the upper level winds took the smoke from those fires, sent it over the pacific ocean. there is the critical piece, now we get a breeze from the pacific ocean, mixes down to the surface, the breeze that allows us to be cleaned with our air quality instead today dragged in the smoke. let's talk about hurricane lane, the storm is barreling toward hawaii, as a category three storm. this is drone video of the flooding they are seeing on the big island around hilo. keep in mind more rain is coming. this is just the beginning. tonight a hurricane warning is still in effect for both maui and oahu. as the center of the storm creeps closer to those islands, the worst is expected in the overnight hours through tomorrow night. it's not going to be a direct hit but it won't take a direct hit for the storm to have a major impact. hurricane lane is turning up waves along the shores of

hawaii's big island. the island chain is now under a state of emergency. >> hawaii is going to be impacted by hurricane lane. the question is how bad? >> reporter: torrential rains have been falling, this neighborhood became a lake. forcing one person to swim to safety before help arrived. elsewhere, children played in the flood waters. >> that's the key how slow the storm is moving and putting so much rain down. now you are going to put on top of that, about another foot and a half more of rain. >> reporter: the rushing wailuku river in hilo attracted a crowd, spectators stood on a bridge during a break in the range capture video and take pictures. >> i've seen it get pretty raging before. i don't feel like -- i still feel like we are going to be blessed and we are going to be okay. >> reporter: while the sites are thrilling, authorities warn of impending danger in this uncertain storm. >> extremely concerned about the potential for inland flooding. landslides occurring. damage to the transportation

communications infrastructure. >> reporter: the storm is not moving quickly so flooding may be the biggest legacy. category three right now, sustained winds 120. but the center of the storm will likely stay offshore. that is wonderful news. if it moved on shore, we would be talking about winds around honolulu, 80, 90, 100. we are looking at half of that with the center offshore making a big left turn making its closest pass this time tomorrow night into saturday. likely as a category one or two hurricane. as we mentioned, doesn't take a direct hit to have a big impact and we will have that, hurricane lane dumps it a lot of rain, storm surge and strong, gusty winds over the next 36 hours. back to you. >> thank you. tonight airlines are canceling flights as conditions deteriorate. united won't be flying in or out of maui or honolulu and others are expected to do the same. united did add two flights from honolulu to san francisco today to help people get out.

all major carriers are also waving rebooking fees for hawaii bound flights. the storm is also having an impact on ocean traffic through hawaii, at least one cargo ship that left the port of oakland is currently parked in the pacific waiting for the storm to pass. store shelves are empty and fast, all over the island. >> currently, massive -- several hundred containers of goods sitting at the terminal. waiting for pickup once the terminal reopens. and we also have additional vessels that are scheduled to arrive in the next several days. >> it says it's positioning it shipped so they can come in as soon as the ports reopen. tomorrow, state lawmakers will be asking tough questions to verizon about why it slowed down data speeds for bay area firefighters during an emergency. santa clara county fire chief says his crews fighting the

mendocino complex fires had their internet speeds slashed. when the department alerted verizon, the carrier suggested it upgrade to a more expensive data plan. verizon called it a customer support mistake. santa clara county fire and verizon representatives have been invited to speak at tomorrow's assembly meeting. tonight, friends of a man killed by oakland police officers are demanding answers. five months after the deadly confrontation. kpix 5's joe vasquez reports that they are struggling to understand how a man who was sleeping in an alley ended up shot to death. >> reporter: after gunshots rang out in an oakland alley on march 11, a 32-year-old homeless mentally ill man named joshua was dead at the hands of four police officers. five months later, his friends want answers. >> josh was important, he was intelligent, talented, and loved. >> reporter: mary howell spoke at the meeting tonight, she wants to know what happened.

>> we want answers. we want answers, we want to see the body can 4. if they were right, prove it. >> reporter: someone called 911 because they thought josh needed medical help. arriving officers saw he was unconscious but also had a gun. according to the police press release, officers commanded josh to put the gun down but then something happened that convinced them josh posed an immediate threat. so four officers opened fire killing him. >> just think about that, someone called to get help for someone who needed it, and it resulted in their death. >> reporter: along with the gun, police say they recovered a large amount of cocaine and also $110,000 in cash. how he got that much money is among the many questions. but his friends are singularly focused on what could have caused the police to shoot josh. >> people move when they wake up. i mean, we all know that. >> is it possible he made a movement toward the police as he is waking up? >> i don't know. we have not seen the body cam

footage. >> reporter: there will be no answers, the police spokesman tells me they are not ready to release the body cam video and the other evidence or information because she says the case is open, they're still investigating it. >> i think they just shot him coming all. >> reporter: in oakland, joe vasquez, kpix 5 news. curbing violence in san francisco's bayview, he was shot last week. joseph worked in the street violence intervention program. nine days ago, around noon, a group of -- approached him and someone shot him several times. he died late last night at age 42. mayor london breed calls his death a heartbreaking loss. she adds, joseph was a well respected community activist, whose work to reduce gun violence made our city a safer, more compassionate place. the senseless nature of his passing underscores the importance of the cause to which he dedicated his life. the man accused of being the infamous golden state killer was back in court today,

joseph deangelo listened to a judge read off a list of new charges against him. they include crimes involving -- rapes in contra costa county but he can be charged for the crime of kidnap for robbery, all charges are combined in a single sacramento court complaint by six separate california counties. d'angelo isn't set to appear for another four months. the feud between president trump and his attorney general reached a new level today. after the president said this on fox news. >> jeff sessions, never took control of the justice department and it's sort of an incredible thing. the only reason i gave him the job because i felt loyalty, he was an old general supporter. >> the president asked what kind of man would recuse himself from the russia investigation after taking the job. sessions has rarely responded to much of the president's

criticisms but today he fired back saying i took control of the justice department the day i was sworn in. adding the doj will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. the president stopped short of saying whether he would fire sessions. >> i think there will come a time sooner rather than later where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the department of justice. >> the special counsels investigation is intensifying with the conviction of ex- campaign chairman mark -- paul manafort. president trump's lawyer said he asked advice several weeks ago about the possibility of partnering manafort, and other aides accused of crimes. rudy giuliani said mr. trump's lawyers counseled him against pardoning anyone linked to russia investigation until probe is complete and the president agreed. housing on the fast track, step forward for an ambitious plan to build homes on part parking lots. why are so many bay area cities against it? all bark but no bite.

fremont-- it's the latest in a string of violent crimes at bart stations. the agency released police are looking for a man who may be linked to a stabbing in fremont. it's the latest in a string of violent crimes at bart stations. the agency released surveillance images of a person of interest, homeless man. who was stabbed around 2:00 a.m. today. outside the warm springs station. the victim is expected to survive. could bart be the key to easing the housing crunch? a point fast-tracked thousands of homes near bark stations took a step forward. kpix 5's maria medina explains

why several cities are not on board. >> we are ready to pop the champagne >> it's a reckless bill. >> reporter: two different opinions on one significant topic. building more homes and alleviating traffic congestion. >> we are going to be able to have hopefully 20,000 new homes at stations to get people off of our roads and into homes they can afford. so this really makes so much sense. >> reporter: assembly bill 2923 just past the senate. a victory for those who support that the bill would require bart to build 20,000 homes, 35% of them affordable housing near existing bart stations. it would mean cities would be forced to rezone land, so bart could create it own standards -- its own standards. >> and puts it in the hands of a transit agency in bart that can't even run trains on time

or keep them clean and keep the riders safe. >> reporter: vice mayor cam rene bourque says he is far from the only one against the proposal. in fact earlier this month, mayors from all 19 cities in contra costa county signed a letter saying they were in a position of giving up its power, what's more, they are doing just fine building homes and don't need bart's help. >> bart is an agency that does not recognize what our community wants. and is in no position at all really, to develop property without local input and it could really damage our town. >> we believe in local control but with local control comes local responsibility. and that's a responsibility to build homes, near transit. which this will do. >> reporter: vice mayor burke says they are going to continue to fight assembly bill 2923 which heads to the assembly floor. if it passes, it will go on to the governor's desk. in fremont, maria medina, kpix

spin. >> reporter: porsche knows how to make a bold statement. they are fast, sporty, and high performance. this panamera hybrid sport teresa mo is now -- turismo, they are growing in popularity and highlighted at monterey car week. porsche is charging ahead in the electric market. >> this is a historic brand celebrating the 70th anniversary. they are being progressive as well in terms of building electrified cars, both in terms of plug-in hybrid and full on electric cars coming in the near future so it's a bit of an aggressive move. >> reporter: tim stevens is editor-in-chief of roadshow, we took the hybrid for a test drive on public roads in carmel. it features a twin turbo v6, produces 462-horsepower, and you can get up to 20 miles out of it on a single charge. yes, it goes fast. from zero to 60 in 4.4 seconds

they don't need to. we have a look at the air quality for tomorrow, it was bad everywhere today, there may be modest improvements in the north bay and santa clara valley. i plan onywhere the bay area having at least a few hours at a minimum of the soupy air, the smoky air that we had all afternoon long. it will get better by tomorrow but likely not before. 60 degrees in san francisco, 62 in concord, 62 in san jose, hazy everywhere throughout the bay area, santa rosa 57, 50s overnight, clouds and fog will fill in just about everywhere. not as much tomorrow night, a little bit of a change for saturday, redwood city 59 degrees. ocean breeze that normally clearing oosting breeze -- ocean breeze, some of that smoke emanating from canadian wildfires, tomorrow mine foggy and low clouds, then low clouds into hazy sunshine. kind of a yucky day if you are looking up tomorrow. air quality will improve.

for the weekend. what we don't see in this picture is a large ridge of high pressure anywhere close to san francisco or the bay area. three separate but distinct areas of lower pressure to our east and north, west and southwest, all three of these will allow the marine layer to be pretty thick which means the cooler influence of the ocean has a better opportunity of making it inland, you have felt it in livermore and antioch and santa rosa. i see no reason why that's going to stop anytime soon. looking at futurecast now, low clouds pushing all the way into the central valley, tri-valley and down to morgan hill and gilroy, cloudy start with hazy sunshine in the afternoon. notice a change on saturday, not as much low cloud cover, saturday likely the sunniest and also warmest day of the next several. low 80s for a few minutes in concord and livermore, 70s for san jose, napa and vallejo, unseasonably chilly, oakland and san francisco, 59 for pacifica. air quality not that great, hazy sunshine likely tomorrow.

warner on saturday, we lose those on sunday, next week might be the coolest weather we've had since june with no air in the bay area even hitting 80. that's pretty chilly, 10 below average in the end, smoke tomorrow, much less if any coming up this weekend. >> good timing. >> i welcome it. it's been hazy and smoky for the past 24 hours. a bear checked into a hotel and then checks out the furniture.

something that takes the attention away from the game. >> better brace for a helmet hurricane storm coming to a stadium near you. well well well, what have we here? a magical place... that's lookin' to get scared!
