In fog or clear sky. Right now in San Francisco it is about 58 degrees. Current temperatures throughout in the 60s and 50s, but heading to the afternoon it will be another day in the 90s. I want to show you satellite radar to give you sort of an idea of why we have a fire weather watch that will take effect on sunday. You can see a low pressure system just to our south that is churning. Then the interaction with a High Pressure system to the east is going to drive some moisture to the bay area. The interaction of those two and the instability in the atmosphere is going to bring another chance of seeing dry lightning in the bay area with the potential for that heading into tomorrow, which is why the National Weather service has issued a fire weather watch that will be in place sunday through tuesday because of a chance for fastmoving storms. We are going to take a very close look at that because this is going to, of course, impact the alreadyburning fires that are out there, what thats

You have blue sky, heavy smoke, youve got the sun trying to peek through and you have the clouds continuing to move to the southeast. Inside the burn zone, it is not pretty. We just returned from there a few hours ago. Were driving carefully up mill creek road in Sonoma County through a burn state that this morning seemed benign when compared with what must have been the hell that roared through here last night. It breaks my heart. This is my backyard. This is the fire that weve been worrying about for decades around here. Reporter thats the healdsburg fire chief describing the wadgfire.

They are going to be going door to door as they to notify people if they need to evacuate. Also, theyre going to be here to provide security for all of those people that are evacuated so that when they do return, they will have homes that have not been broken into.
