structures. fire officials are warning it could be weeks before they can contain the wildfire. that's destroyed an entire town. jennifer mcgraw has the story. >> the damages in comprehensible as the dixie fire continues to ravage communities. hundreds of homes and structures destroyed and more than 15,000 are being threatened. one of these days. >> fires come over the ridge. from where i live. >> it moved so fast. i saw it all. >> mike orloff watched above the bluff as his city burned to the ground. one building after another. all my friends. >> his new home. handicapped all set up just burned to the ground he's praying for the other communities in the fire's path really going to come back to where they going to go. >> where are they going to go

by monday. the thick smoke holding down winds and temperatures finally cleared allowing for firefighters to continue the battle in the air making water and retardant drops to contain what's now the second largest wildfire in california history, putting that into perspective that's now larger than the city of los angeles. that's 500 square miles. and sadly, it's not over as fire crews in the air and on the ground battle to save surrounding communities. >> you know, i'm a guy that's pretty on top of things and pretty sharp. this is just. beyond comprehension, which going to be like in a month. >> that was jennifer mcgraw reporting for us. and now to our 4 zone forecast as we show you a whole different situation along the coast with the fog rolling across the golden gate and our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow has more on our air quality are usually a great sign when you see that fog coming on shore. that means you're getting a westerly component to the wind. now it's deep

enough about 2000 feet or so. >> that's clinton much your skies out there right now. so we're looking good across most of the bay area sitting in green and that's the place we want to be in the san francisco. you've got some very good air quality. specially couple spots in the yellow there in the fremont down the peninsula and then the oakland right now in mill valley. but the rest, the bay area air quality looking very, very good outside. it looks like it's going remain that way. we're not looking at the wind that's going bring the smoke back into the bay area. right now, though, you see some of that smoke that has been kind of about around these fires and more easterly component to the winds kicking that further east and well, that brought with it. some clearing skies here in the bay area. and that's fortunate for us. looks like it's going to stay that way. computer models picking up on this but rolls through time. here's our smoke tracking model. and you watch is most that smoke going. it's likely stay clear of the bay area mostly in and around those areas were currently burning after that smoke is going to be sitting tomorrow. but the bay area for the most part looks like we'll stay clear of that. so tonight that westerly component, the wind

continues outside. so those winds got blowing to 20 miles an hour. right now. it could be a little bit stronger. i think by tomorrow afternoon tonight, those winds subside a little bit and that's why some of the smoke will sit in around some of those fires to and then by tomorrow afternoon, the winds start to ramp up again. it will spur some of that smoke around fire area. but for the bay area, we're staying clear of that. that means your skies going to be nice again for you're going to see some hot temperatures inland 90's in the valleys 60's along the coastline. lot of 70's 80's inside the bay. stay hot on off this the interior valleys. but fairly cool out along the coastline. and just right inside the bay with temperatures in the 70's. >> and now kron 4 sports. >> the san francisco giants are 30 games. over 500 for the first time since 2003 no one would have predicted this. but here we are. what makes it even better is san francisco. he's doing it against the best teams in baseball. they're above 500 against teams with

winning records. this team is gearing up for a playoff run and they know they will be getting everyone's best shot as they hit the stretch run of the season. >> just got but the situation than human as we start getting guys back. a lot of that have been hurt tom, obviously went through a little bit of a tough stretch from milwaukee, and through the best ravages. gosh, you spend almost 2 weeks now just nonstop ground game it out. and honestly it's incredible. >> yes. series against milwaukee houston, la. they want all 3 of best teams in baseball. here's the standing there for games ahead of the dodgers and san diego padres of cooled off and they're dealing with some injury. they're 7 and a half games back. so the giants really are starting to stretch that lead in the division. but they can't get complacent because this is a dodgers team. that one is the defending world series champions and 2, just

littered with talent up and down that roster, they can rip off 10 straight wins in the snap of a finger. so it will be fun to see how it all plays out. meanwhile, the a's are also playing some great baseball as of late. they've won 8 of 10 and now they're just 2 games back of the astro's in west just a week ago they were 5 and a half games back and the dude who have been leading the charge for oakland has only been here a week. starling marte a batting for 25 since coming to oakland. he's had 3. he had 3 hits. i'm sorry in yesterday's win against the rangers. but in typical bob melvin fashion. he's keeping everything in perspective. >> there's a lot of baseball after the demanding you need to do is just focus on yourself we're playing better baseball right now get on a roll win some games and ones come september and especially down towards the end. we played them. we play seattle and. that's the time you probably. it gets decided so

you just try to not get too emotional about watching the score words. all right. so. >> here's how it breaks down the a's play houston 6 times in their final 9 games. seattle is slipping and they're 7 and a half games back. so it looks like that those 2 series at the end of the season will probably decide that division. but hey, maybe oakland can come over take them. in the meantime. the warriors are playing the first game of the los vegas summer league game is in action right now in the 4th quarter. here's the score 7675. but what everyone really wants to know is how are those 2 prized rookies doing jonathan coming to 13 points. moses moody also with 13 points will have full highlights when that game goes final. dallas mavericks superstar luka doncic made some history today when he agreed to sign a 5 year,

207 million dollars supermax rookie extension. the 22 year-old became the first player eligible for the designated rookie max extension upon signing because he has twice been voted first team all nba donchey one the rookie of the year and as for here. and then he's been first team all nba the last 2 seasons only 4 players in nba history have made all nba teams. >> multiple times before their 23rd birthday and nfl pre season is already underway kron 4 is the bay area, home of the las vegas raiders. you can watch the silver and black take on the seattle seahawks in their first preseason game. that's this saturday on kron 4. it all starts at 5.30 with the kron for raiders pre-game show, followed by the game at 6 and then analysis of all the action on the crime for raiders postgame reports. hard to think that football starting up this week. i think lawrence pulled a muscle
