Any San Franciscans here now?

[kimbutgar]

It is the weirdest weather outside. Cloudy with a strange yellow color. Never have seen this before. Anybody know why it is yellow outside?

1. In the Midwest yellow or green skies are often an indication

of tornadoes.

2. OMG, it might have to do with some fires...

Buy yes you are right, it is very yellow outside!! I wish I could take a photo to show you guys!

5. i remember a friend commenting about her coughing

from the smoke, down in South San Francisco, but this is so weird, I hope you can see it, its like a strange kinda yellow glow reflected under the foggy clouds.

3. Yes, we recently had 'green' skies here just recently in STLMO and then ...

had a tornado (small EF0), nothing big, but it still did quite a bit of damage in the immediate locality it hit.

Yellow skies, I'm not sure of...

Best wishes for safe Sunday for you guys!

13. I like green cross on Mission St.

[yuiyoshida]

11. Yes, it is very yellow today

from the fires. Had a 4-5mph off shore wind carrying the smoke in the direction of SF. Not nearly as bad as the conditions during the Santa Rosa fire though.

15. Strange. Anyone have a photo?

16. KRON4 tweeted that it was caused by the fire. Here's a weird fact...

I'm in Ft Worth right now, and the haze is being caused by a sandstorm from the Sahara.

I'm going to repeat that because it sounds wacky: the haze in the sky over North Central Texas is caused by a sandstorm from the Sahara.

The local ABC News reported it this morning. And they acted like that wasn't totally batshit crazy. A sandstorm powerful enough to stay intact long enough to travel northwest across the ocean, veer left into the Gulf of Mexico and trurn North again to travel the entire length of Texas.

17. Fire in Yolo County

16,000 acres, evacuations happening

[Brother Buzz]

19. And a modest North Wind blew that smoke down to the Bay Area

It started clocking this morning, and it looks like the Bay Area air will be polished in another day when the onshore wind fully kicks in (and this sweltering soul out in the Sacramento Valley gets some relief from the heat with the 'Delta Breeze'. Yeah!).

18. it's like gross yellow smog

I just got out of the hospital for MSSA and bacterial pneumonia, my third bout this year. I'm on oxygen today because of the air pollution.

20. Went out today and was in Foster city, not yellow but cars had ashes on it that far down

The peninsula. My car parked in front of my house in San Francisco was covered in ash. I just washed it last week at the car wash.
