Lets check in with rob maeda talk about the source of the winds and the propensity to push fires should they start. Rob . The rate equation changes on a night like this. You have humidity levels daytime dry and hills in the north bay and east bay 40 Miles Per Hour. Now some of the wind has got into San Francisco. You notice the humidity is 27 . Theres no fog out around the golden gate bridge. Winds now are heading offshore out to the west at 63 degrees in San Francisco. And obviously even dryer, a bit farther inland. You can see livermore only 10 is the relative humidity and theres that dry north wind at 15 Miles Per Hour. A little bit of an island in the mix of all of this, not seeing a lot of wind. Humidity levels still pretty good. San jose and the scleanta clara valley. Down to the valley, you may not get a lot of wind out of this. It will be the north bay and east bay hills in the Santa Cruz Mountains where well see the gusts. Tonight the red flag warning, thats going to be active for post of the bay area through 11 00 a. M. Except in north bay and east bay hills where that is extended to 5 00 p. M. On tuesday. Gusty winds at times, were seeing more signs of that now mixing down through the central bay. With the recent fires that weve seen, especially around the Santa Cruz Mountains, increased risk of tree damage as those wind speeds start to pick up tonight. For the morning temperatures in the 40s and 50s, should be the gustier half of your day. Less so for the afternoon. Temperatures climbing a little bit more tomorrow. Notice the haze, too, from some smoke from fires to our north, drifting back over the bay area. 73 in San Francisco, 76 in san jose, and upper 70s around the east bay. So the winds right now 20 to 30 sustained, that includes oakland now through the north bay and Mount Saint Helena at 9 00. Top wind gusts at 84 Miles Per Hour. This progression, showing you the wind speed in the last six hours, you can see the red and purple now. Look at the wind heading offshore west of San Francisco. That is the dpriry air now reacg the central bay reaching the path of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Pinpoint by humidity, 8 santa rosa and napa and those humidity levels vary inland through the trivalley. The forecast here, we expect to see the peak winds occurring now 2 00 a. M. You see the areas in red with the peak wind gusts 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour. Essentially most of the intense wind between now and sunrise. In the north bay, by 5 00 you can see the stronger winds retreat into the higher elevations. The valley gets a break tomorrow afternoon. 4 00 a. M. Through the 7 00 a. M. Central peninsula location, Santa Cruz Mountains to through about 9 00 a. M. And by 5 00 in the afternoon you should see wind speeds rise quite a by the second half of the day. Look at the impact of those offshore breezes right there that dry air surging off the coast. This is brought on by High Pressure to the west. Cold air and low pressure, dry cold front passing by today. Powering up the strong winds were seeing now. That begins to relax by the middle part of the week.

Las vegas raiders were supposed to play tonight on sunday night football, but the nfl moved the game out of the time slot because of a covid19 scare. Now were learning it could cost the team plenty. Raiders lineman trent brown tested positive for covid so the entire offensive line was sent home as a precaution. Everyone except for brown and safety Jonathan Abrams was allowed to play today after testing negative. Brown consistently didnt wear his Contact Tracing device and several linemen often met without masks. During practice, which goes against leagues guidelines.

Thats not good. What is good . The niners final score, they dominate the patriots 336. Defense played unbelievable the whole day. I thought the special teams and offense did, too. It was an extremely physical game. I thought our team, with all three of our phases, it was fun to watch.

Today in the bay monday from 4 30 to 7. Happening today. A number of parks in the east bay are going to be closed tomorrow because of the strong winds and the threat of fire. Several parks in the east Bay Regional Parks district closed today as a dangerous weather moved in. Keeping people out of places like tilden park in Berkeley Hills helps reduce fire danger and other risks. Wind is an issue, falling branches are an issue. We cant have fires now because fires are so hot. Theyre repositioning crews to help local agencies in threatened areas. It was the largest single wildfire in Sonoma County fire, the kincade fire. Our Investigative Unit has obtained the report on the cause and it blames a pg e power line, the line that was supposed to be sha shutdown because it was no longer needed. Nbc bay areas Jaxon Vanderbeken has the story. What youre describing with the kincade fire is not an accident. It is the product of a longstanding pattern. Reporter thats former Public Utilities commissioner after we told her about the kincade fire was blamed on the pg e power line for sparking it. There needs to be a look at the organization and why this organization keeps producing the same types of problems over and over again. Reporter according to the report, the 230,000 volt power line that started the fire had once provided power to a geothermal plant northeast of geyserville. The plant was shutdown more than a decade ago. But rather than deenergize or remove the line, cal fire says pg e left it up. And making things worse, disconnected it from this plant designed to secure the power line to the tower and keep it taut. Over the next two decades, the loose line swung around, twisting in high wind, until it finally snapped on the night of october 23rd, 2019, striking the tower at least a dozen times. Showering sparks and molten metal on the dry brush below. Its not just its wrong. The question of the question becomes in legal terms is it actually criminally negligent. Is it actually reckless. Reporter cal fire says it was. In its report it recommends prosecutors charge pg e with multiple felonies, for recklessly causing a fire that burned 77,000 acres, levelled 300 buildings, and injured four firefighters. Pg e said today it has yet to see cal fires findings and hasnt completed its own investigation into the cause. Jaxon vanderbeken, nbc bay area news.

Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. A wonder story, garvin. Thank you. Were going to get to rob now. Rob, its going to be a enough night for a lot of folks, a lot of them with no power. The winds, concern for firefighters and fire danger. And were watching the wind speeds very closely around the bay area to see just in at the top of the hour, a new peak wind gust at Mount Saint Helena, 89 Miles Per Hour. Reaching oakland. Well take a closer look at the we want to get back to our micro climate weather alert. Youre looking at a very shaky camera on top of San Bruno Mountain. Its a live picture for you. The winds are blowing up there. Wind speeds have picked up throughout the night. Rob, you were talking about wind speeds which qualify as hurricaneforce winds. Is that correct . If you had sustained winds of 75 Miles Per Hour and up at Mount Saint Helena, this is 4,000 feet, weve seen timed sustained winds at 70 Miles Per Hour and gusts up to 89 Miles Per Hour. In San Francisco you dont have fog. You have the east, northeast winds. Humidity 27 . Normally not only do you have fog, but the humidity numbers are in the 90 range at this hour. Not the case now as the strong gusty offshore winds continue. Walnut creek youve been seeing the winds the last couple of hours gusty at times. North wind at 20. Humidity down to 16 . The relative island of calm continues to be around the santa clara valley, san jose. Humidity levels not too bad. I think it will be san jose and morgan hill that dont see nearly as much wind as San Francisco, oakland, obviously the hills of the east bay and north bay. The headlines tonight, we have the red flag warning for most bay area locations through 11 00 tomorrow morning, but it has been extended now to 5 00 p. M. For the east bay and north bay hills. Obviously gusty winds at times. Well take a closer look at that in just a moment. The potential as we wake up tomorrow morning, we could have some broken branches and downed trees especially in the east bay hills. And later on tonight perhaps even the Santa Cruz Mountains. So as we wake up tomorrow morning it will be chilly out there. 40s and 50s. The first half of the day the Morning Hours dealing with more wind. By the afternoon most of the stronger winds retreat back up to the hill tops. Might see some haze or some smoke from fires to the north and the north end of the sacramento valley, that could be making for some hazy skies. Highs range from low to mid 70s in San Francisco, oakland. 80 degrees tomorrow in santa rosa. So the wind speeds right now, there you saw just at the top of the hour, 89 mile per hour gusts there. Look at the purple here that has dropped into the east bay hills, the Berkeley Hills, oakland, sustained winds at 41 Miles Per Hour there in the oakland hills. That is where were seeing some of the strongest winds right now. As you see the progression here, the peak wind gusts the last six hours, look at those numbers. 50 Miles Per Hour plus in the trivalley. 58 mile per hour winds around the Berkeley Hills and the oakland area. This is a clear sign now that the stronger winds which had been bottled up in the north bay are starting to spread south. And look at that dry offshore breeze moving to San Francisco. Humidity numbers right there at the days edge at 8 in oakland. So the progression here overnight, were in the peak of the winds now for the north bay to just about sunrise. Still a lot of red on this map, but potential for 40 mile per hour gusts. As we pass sunrise tomorrow, notice by 5 00 the stronger wind speeds stay up in the hills. Good news by 5 00 tomorrow. Central bay and Santa Cruz Mountains will see winds picking up around 3 00 a. M. To about sunrise and stronger winds start to move out by 5 00 tomorrow. We really should see the wind speeds backing down as the winds taper off the middle part of the week. All signs right now point to a dry, slightly warmer forecast towards halloween without the gusty winds were seeing now. And election day, stay tuned. Tuesday could see a chance of showers. A longrange forecast. Which one are you going to vote for . The euro model, dry. There is some hope there. Could be seeing showers around november 3rd.
