SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- There's a Spare the Air Alert for tomorrow, Monday, Oct 28, with poor air quality forecasted in the North Bay, Coast and Central Bay, and Inland East Bay.

Moderate air quality is forecasted for the South Central Bay and the Santa Clara Valley.

The Red Flag Warning with the strong Diablo winds expires Monday morning because the winds will decrease rapidly, shifting from offshore to a slight onshore pattern.
