He has the latest will. Marty so far right now as of the update yesterday at around 11 oclock last night 74,000 acres have burned for this fire. We do know that at least 131 structures have gone up in flames with many others damaged. We expect a News Conference in one hour from now they have thousands of firefighters spread throughout california. The moving forward the biggest challenge will be the resources heading to this location. Yes, very dry very smoky. But the good news is i did not see any Lightning Strikes thats the fear in the overnight hours the dried lightning, not accompanied by any rain and we do know that this fire just like many other fires were started because of Lightning Strikes that took place 8 days ago. Now this fire not only has it turned deadly. It has been very destructive a destructive of course it has burned through big basin redwoods state just race through there as firefighters are scrambling to try to save lives and try to save homes, but it went pretty much unimpeded for a while because it was in such a ragged hard to reach area that their biggest concern mardy and robin as you know their First Priority whenever the attack of fire. Its to save lives and unfortunately this state as hard as they try they could not say that state park in Santa Cruz County. It is also ripped through many residential areas, many people have been told to evacuate. Others have been told to get ready to evacuate the latest numbers only 8 containment. Its so its not even double digits at this point hopefully that will go up and we get an update in about 15 minutes from now we do know that at least 3 people are unaccounted for and a handful of people have been injured fortunately were not hearing of any major injuries, however, 2 firefighters keep it here. Once a News Conference begins at 6 oclock he will carry that live for you back to you. And weve had reports of some some light showers or sprinkles around the area. Do you notice or have you seen any rain where you are as the ground wet. No rain at this time actually its a little bit humid at this time i was looking up at the sky because i know that dry lightning was a major concern and i was going through the Santa Cruz Mountains and i did not see any Lightning Strikes. No rain whatsoever but very smoky conditions. I think this is reminiscent and i covered the fire 3 years ago in santa rosa. Thats breathing conditions very reminiscent of that horrible fire that we saw 3 years ago marty all right, thanks a lot. Well thats will trend. From the south bay this morning. Now lets continue our Team Coverage on the lnu complex fires burning now in the north bay.

Yeah i live in Sonoma County where firefighters have been working all weekend long to try and contain the wall bridge fire and they are working hard, but its still only 5 contained. Take a look at video from yesterday you can see sort of the strategy that firefighters are taking their fighting fire with fire and they are back burning to make sure that it doesnt continue burning towards the nearby communities such as winds are healdsburg. You know Santa Rosa Calistoga so many communities in this area that have been you know. Threatened by this fire that is why theres been a lot of evacuation orders a lot of evacuation warnings and the Weather Forecast through tomorrow. Has caused some concern for cal fire they said its calling for dry lightning and thunderstorms that could cause erratic winds extreme fire behavior within the existing fires putting in Different Directions and it could it has have potential to start new fires so that is theyre really on high alert theyre fighting it rapidly trying to get it to stop and make sure they have it under control in case things do erratic in crazy now we did catch up with a person who was evacuated at the Evacuation Center in and they said theyre glad they got out when they did. I stayed a couple extra days i floated much truck with all my tools and everything and waited a little bit and then its are coming over the hill, the house going to so and to go you know, i feel really bad for the people that have lost homes and you know were going to go back and theres places going to be there so it is hard enough like this, but if you go theres all your stuff in your house. The environment right now. And my opinion you know its. And needs weve taken care of better. Its very true. Some people will go home to no home at all it is devastating to see we know in the entire l a new lightning complex 871 structures have been destroyed in right now about 30,500 structures are threatened because this fire is burning in a very remote area. I mean thats kind of a benefit but the problem is when it burns towards the non remote areas, the communities nearby and thats what theyve been trying to avoid but as we saw on friday when it just burns southeast and rips through a neighborhood there near healdsburg that can happens thats what theyre trying to avoid stay tune. This morning obviously its dark out right now were hoping to get a good view of this firefight in see where theyre at and this morning for now live in Sonoma CountySarah Stinson kron 4 news.

All told more than 20,000 other structures are being threatened. Kron fours dan thorn has the latest. Thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes in the eastern area of morgan hill fire continues to burn in the area of henry coe state park threatening several communities we saw lines of cars racing up to him coming back from their homes and jackson oaks holiday lake estates and along thomas grade people understandably on edge cars and trucks loaded up with anything people could grab. Evacuation orders were issued because of a change in weather including wind which had helped the fire spread or send embers into these areas most of these homes are in hilly rural terrain. Firefighters right now fighting the fire just east of these communities at 5 oclock on sunday police were forced to close the road along east dunn avenue and were turning people away from going up because of potential danger city Officials Saying staying behind is not worth the risk. As we look at whats happened in some of the other areas here in our state the past few years. Want to take a chance. Many of the evacuees worried about leaving their homes concerned that once they come back there might not be a house there anymore. A tactic. We are facing try to pack up all the pictures and stuff like that. Yeah weve got to weve got to get going up their living in california. You know experiencing wildfires is certainly a obviously up where we live. Theyre in the hills police have continued to block residents from going back up into these areas, not only for their safety but to prevent other people from going up and stealing evacuees are being told to go to and some high school where there are Resources Available to people there and also to follow online at morgan hills City Government website where there will be more information on other orders and other warnings reporting in morgan hill dan thorn kron 4 news.

And we continue to follow breaking news, the fires that are burning out of control across the bay area this morning. Those fires of course having a major impact on air quality here thats going to show you of just how bad the air quality is through this map. Now the darker the color, the worse the air quality and the worst air right now is in the east bay, especially in the tri valley area want to go ahead and get a check on the air quality would days far in the Weather Center day we had a little bit sprinkles over the over the overnight hours. Thats going to help a little bit i would guess a well yeah and it would and if im right now we cant deal with winds winds would also clear it out to i think its going to be more of a gradual pattern is what it looks like in terms of this. One thing we can say is weve had some light rain showers across the region overnight that didnt come with lightning. So thats the good type of rain to get and certainly could use the rain. What it appears like Going Forward is were not going to get much more in the way of rain in fact the skies opening up. And that may provide instability going on upstairs to drive some dry lightning because the rain when ever reach the ground. Heres the latest we have going on in stormtracker for a couple of lines youll notice that the Sonoma County. Another batch will be here to a napa county it looks like thats going to be the focal point of anything that goes on will be large in the north bay. A little bit in portions of the east than peninsula, but its going to be those points north is where most of the action today will be and certainly with the rain. Thats been going on last night thats whats lingering as we speak. Do still have the red flag warning thats in place it covers the entire bay with the exception of Solano County. Again without possibility of dry lightning and again those skies should open up. Pretty quickly going on into this a late morning live shot for the Golden Gate Bridge. This is the kind of moisture we really could use that the surface. Its not penetrating very far inland however, yet tomorrow probably will and thats going to help kind of settle things down a little bit better once we get rid of some of this tropical air that a lot because that tends to drive the atmosphere make it crazy that 71 going on at 09 00am by high new word, 86, well cover your forecast coming up in just a little bit marty all right dave thanks a lot.

Preparations at the white house for the convention spotlight, including the newly renovated rose garden where First Lady Melania Trump will speak tuesday. And the south lawn where President Trump will give his acceptance speech thursday offering a rebuttal to the democrats last week i think youre going to see a very hopeful. Version for a vision for america that hes going to be unleashing youre going to see a real diversity, the Republican Party that hes built a President Trump has been very involved in a fast evolution of our nc programming over the last few weeks. Since he announced in late july he would not travel to Jacksonville Florida for a speech. He said to want more Live Programming and fewer taped segments than the democrats and a greater focus on Everyday Americans democrats during their convention blasted the Trump Administrations handling of the coronavirus pandemic hes failed to protect america. The Trump Campaign characterized the dnc is dark and republicans say theyll cast trumps Pandemic Response very differently that is something that Many Americans most americans and many voters will be concerned about. And the president has been leading the nation in this effort and americans can see that President Trump is expected to make an appearance every night of the convention. In washington, im karin caifa. And in newly released audio President Trump sisters reportedly heard calling him cruel and phony. She also accuses him of line. The president s niece mary trump claims to have secretly recorded her aunt, Maryanne Trump Barry in 2018 2019 Washington Post first obtained the transcripts and the audio from mary trump who recently released a book that criticizes the president barrys more critical comments focus on how her brother has operated as president. Good good he really it changed his story is a lack of preparation. The only. Well barry is a retired federal appellate judge who has never spoken out publicly about disagreements with her brother the president. But the audio seems to tell a different story mary trump has made it clear from her book and the release of this audio that shes had major differences with her uncle President Donald Trump white house issued a statement on saturday night saying that while not everyone agrees with the president. He does continue to work hard for the american people. White house adviser Kellyanne Conway is saying goodbye to the Trump Administration conway says shell be leaving her post at the end of the month citing family as a reason for her departure. Her husband George Conway who works for an anti trump Republican Group called the lincoln project, well also be leaving his position. Kellyanne conway is scheduled to speak of this weeks Republican National convention. But its unclear if thats still on the agenda. Well lets get an update on todays forecast we have some wet weather in store, lets check in with dave ward see how its shaping up days robin good morning, good morning. Everybody we jumped quickly to the radar here we have the set so that if we start seeing Lightning Strikes will see it up here. Right now again thats been quiet thats good were getting some rain up well take that as well. There you see where the latest bands are basically north of marion county, little batch of air to Sonoma County also in napa county little bit of collection around the label looks like as well for the start and coupled with this at the surface were getting a little bit of that marine layer i e e fog which looks like its starting to clear out a little bit from this Vantage Point it looks like that fog will take care of itself fairly quickly its not as intense. As what were going to see tomorrow. So thats not good. Thats another reason for the concern with the marine layer evaporated quickly, no delays at sfo by the way temperatures holding in the 60s for now 74, antioch 67 meanwhile for san jose. Now as we watch this and future cast for not a whole lot happens it kind of clears out pretty quickly but that just provides the sun to come out to provide energy to spark a potentially an isolated dry lightning thunderstorm that being the fact of that we have so much dry air at the surface any rain we get would evaporate during the day and were just left with lightning speed a lot of dynamics upstairs that still possible overnight this marine layer comes back better and stronger and that will cover more territory spill into the inland valleys looks like by tomorrow and even by the afternoon tomorrow, it looks like our humidity levels will be increasing lets watch this as we go into motion. We have a little bit that recovery overnight gives us that marine layer up against the east bay hills and during the day today short dries off a little bit for standing with numbers in the 30s in the 40s, not too bad on that front and that means also with sunshine too. This is what happens tomorrow morning more aggressive what the fog you can see by tomorrow afternoon now were looking at 50s even some 60s so at the surface conditions are becoming more moist thats the direction we like to see. So for the low down today again we got the concern of some isolated Thunder Showers working their and perhaps a pop up isolated dry lightning events this afternoon again isolated then for this week pretty much the status quo event nothing really moves the weather patterns. So well see temperatures a little bit warmer than they are for this time of year with 80s and 90s pretty much covering us and more of the same expected as we head on to the weekend remaining dry too it looks like lets keep some clouds in there just for good measure, 73 for San Francisco 78 for oakland, 88 san jose still looking at middle 90s in the far east bay up to the north bay most readings in the 80s 88 law for san jose. Check and bay area roadways Robin Phillips and whats happening there. Hey folks need to slow their roll this morning on the slick roads around the bay area take it easy reduced or speed, especially on the on and off ramps. Traffic heading into San Francisco looking good moving well we are trouble free, hopefully itll stay that way for you. This morning heading into San Francisco. But if youre an early riser and early commuter come on in its under 10 minutes from the bottom of the maze across the upper deck and over to fremont street, heres 92. It gets the award for the busiest bridge right now the crowding already starting here west of the toll plaza, its mainly on the flat section is not going to be this crowded all the way across but were good less than 30 minutes from the minutes to the bayshore martin ok robin thanks a lot coming up next on the kron 00 04am morning news, the postmaster general be testifying in again in front of the house committee. To answer questions about the changes to the post office that could impact welcome back everyone happening today another congressional hearing for postmaster general lewis dejoy hell be grilled about the changes that went into effect this summer that some say could hinder mellon voting this november. John lawrence has the latest. Rally supporting the post office held in numerous cities, this weekend when why dont we stand. The protesters are upset with recent organizational changes postmaster general lewis dejoy implemented months ahead of the 2020 election. It is a little bit disturbing to see the u. S. We touted as like a perfect democracy when this is happening critics of the joy and ally and supporter of President Trump say these changes will hinder mail in voting. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night. Stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. But of course no one foresaw that any american president would willingly crowbar mail system to sway an election on saturday. The u. S. Postal service got a vote of support from the house of representatives the yeas are 257. And the nays are a 150. The bill is passed. The bill would give the agency 25 billion dollars in reverse the actions that slow down mail delivery until the pandemic is over. However the usps released a statement sunday night saying parts of the bill while wellmeaning will constrain the ability of the posial service to make operational changes that will improve efficiency reduce costs and ultimately improve service to the american people.

They also are looking for 3 people unaccounted for this morning. So much going on there are checkpoints throughout this place and we talked about it over the weekend that looting now is a concern chp officers are patrolling this area just to keep a close eye on the neighborhoods and then over the weekend we also found out that a Santa Cruz County firefighter. He parked his car in front of a fire station went to the front lines and that firefighter had his car broken into his wallet, stolen and information from his wallet was used by the people who broke into his car to drain his bank account so lots going on firefighters they are throwing as much as they possibly can at this fire given the amount of resources that they can possibly take theres so many other fires going on that moving forward the firefighters say theyre battling 2 fronts this time one obviously is the fire. 2 is can we get more firefighters to be thrown at us.

Rob, good morning, everybody still have that fire danger with us the red flag warning in place till 5 today Solano County technically, the only county not in this live shot coming in from the bay bridge toll plaza we are getting little fog and its not real intense here but around the golden gate we can see it there and thats going to mix out fairly quickly. We did have some predawn showers march on through basically from north to south or from south to north. This is the kind of rain we like didnt come with much the way of lightning and you can see the rain up to the north a little collection there so watching it into motion you can see it coming from north to south from south to north clearing out in its wake a bit but that will provide the atmosphere more energy once the sun joins us potentially a spark off some isolated dry lightning events there there we have 60s around the perimeter of the bay 70 far inland for antioch it looks like breaking the day down for you. It says sunny for all of this of course will be smoky skies and there is that isolated collection of clouds we can get tickets, sometimes the higher elevations, a little because you get some up sloping going on there and you might have an isolated dry thunder shower their work takes just a few strikes and boom you have problems an outflow winds.

It is this is video from the Cal Fire Base Camp. Firefighters there of course still battling the czu fire and you can see the rain falling it helping out a little bit not a whole lot right also leaving the roads slick and leaving people pretty nervous about the possibility of Lightning Strikes. Well lets take a look at this sunset, this is from a sell boat at the brisbane marina last night isnt that beautiful. The sky just all red and painful course thats from all the smoke and the wildfires so pretty sight to see, but of course. Not good air quality around the bay area so far. No not at all and as the fires burn out of control this morning help is coming in from all over the country and as from far away as australia, steve large has the details. Refueling time for this massive wyoming Air National Guard planes. Now helping save the state of california. From lightning sparked mega fires. This c one 30 waterdropping aircraft is now at the cal fire base at boland park. Other out of state privately owned firefighting airplanes have also right to mcclellan. Including the global supertanker. All part of the massive air attack to train game can team on the millions of acres burning. Weve already received a 60 fire engines from neighboring from arizona washington. Oregon, new mexico on the ground cal fire spokesperson, Daniel Berlant says fire engines are also arriving from out of state. And being deployed right to the fire lines or in the local fire stations to help with everyday calls for service, 96 of the cal fire fire engines that we have assigned here in california which is over 350. Are committed to fires. So you can see just how committed we are just how busy we are and so getting the state resources is critical. It all out attack on the massive California Wildfires every firefighting resource in california is tool kit is already in use and then we have about 2 dozen more fire engines from from other states that are currently en route now more help is on the way. All right time to go ahead and get a check of the forecast one thing weve been watching all those Lightning Strikes daves thats still an issue this morning. Well, so perhaps with for today, good morning morning, good morning, everybody we havent seen much going on however on the map which is good news. This being the low energy time of the day for the atmosphere at any rate once we get the sun out even though the skies opened up with that tropical moisture still a lot that can spark off potentially some dry lightning is what were looking out for even though well see a lot of sun. Theres little collection of some rain showers looks like in the southern Solano County meanwhile other batch appeared to Sonoma County just north of moran and thats where the focal point of the year for most of the action the thinking thinking process will be up in the north a little bit off to the east bay and peninsula but points to the north is well well be watching for activity today live shot from sfo and no delays happening there. We did have some of that fog come back this morning.

Plans but to treat covid19 britt conway takes a look at how it works. Today, im pleased to. Make a truly historic announcement. The fda just issued emergency use authorization for a new treatment for covid19 or a treatment known as convalescent plasma so what is it. Well convalescent means anyone recovering from a disease fda commissioner stephen hahn explains plasma so plasma is the liquid portion of the book. That liquid portion contains the Natural Immunity that someone develops in response to an infection in this case covid19 heres how the treatment works a needle will draw the donors blood it will be pumped into a machine like this which separates plasma from the blood the plasmas that yellow liquid. Then the blood gets pumped back into the donor and the plasma can be used on a patient who has covid19 the day to continue to pan out a 100 people who are sick. This covid19. 35 would have been saved because of the administration of a classmate to be clear though this is not a cure. This is not the same as an approval, but its an authorization allows us to expand the access to this. Hahn says doing that will help them gather more data and more plasma which is key doctor Janet Woodcock who is also with the fda says the donor pool is limited so as the pandemic goes away youll have fewer people who can donate making it hard to standardize. Hence the call on the fdas website to quote dramatically increase donations of convalescent plasma by the end of August Britt Conway Kron 4 news.
