The marine layer to the rescue! ⛵️

Onshore flow will continue to help improve air quality across the Bay Area over the next couple of days. That being said, smoky conditions look to linger a bit longer across extreme portions of the North Bay Mountains and East Bay Hills. #CaWx pic.twitter.com/Z1QN92DYqE

Onshore flow is expected to alleviate poor air quality in the region early Sunday, but forecasters predict that the air will still look hazy and that smokiness will stick around the North Bay Mountains and East Bay Hills slightly longer.
