My initial reaction was one of skepticism, but I noticed at PurpleAir's site, downtown San Jose (Sensor: 15th floor 225 West Santa Clara St)had 183 while the BAAQD had 181. I live about 7 miles SE of Stanford and the outside conditions look pretty bad. Two nearby sensors are in the 230 range. (I do see readings as high as 446)
Nearest to Stanford, sensors indicate 230 to 257. Over the coastal hills, it does get below 200. Weather Underground maps show no more than slight breeze in any part of the Bay Area, and the wind directions are seemingly random. I guess there may be a slight bias to an onshore direction immediately at the coast.
I have doubts about today's WBB game being played.
