SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – The iconic Blue Angels' aerial acrobatics were canceled Sunday due to heavy fog cover.

Instead of loud jets flying overhead, the sound of fog horns was rampant on Sunday as ships navigated the dense fog cover in the bay. And at least the FA/18 Super Hornets did fly in the air show on Saturday.
While spectators might have been disappointed on Sunday, the silver lining is this late season cold weather pattern is helping when it comes to wildfires.
According to National Weather Service Meteorologist Sean Miller, so far we haven't had the warm weather or dry winds that we usually see in October.
"Instead we've ended up with a pattern that's closer to summer, where we're getting more clouds and fog," said Miller. "And even though it's not raining we’re still getting some moisture in the air so that’s kind of helping keep things a little bit more in check."
Essentially, wildfire conditions – high winds and low humidity, are less of an issue right now.
In the short term, the fog is likely to stick around at least for the next couple of weeks.
However, toward the end of the month, there's a 50% chance that temperatures will be back above average and possibly windier.
