It looks pretty out there. But boy, we are looking at not only the gusty winds but the high fire danger. So our exploratorium camera showing that we will be clear today, so weve got that going for us. Although we havent seen any rain. In fact 2 100ths for the month of december. We could stay dry through christmas. Temperatures this morning are in the 40s and 50s outside. And thats due to the breezy winds. So were looking at not only breezy winds, the low relative humidity right now starting out anywhere from 30 to 60 . And then it goes down to about 20 or less than that. So mainly above 1,000 feet, were looking at the gusty winds. Temperatures have not only been in the 60s and 70s, but not a drop of rain through december. Our east bay hills camera, you can see good visibility. And that is the flip side. But we all would like to see some rain. So we are looking at temperatures, average this time of year, in the upper 50s. Anywhere from 50 to 60 of normal for rainfall for this time of year. So running behind, the winds are up, the relative humidity is down. And that means high fire danger for this weekend. The red flag warning will expire at 10 00 tomorrow morning. And the sun coming up this morning just about right now and setting at 4 50. So it looks like good air quality for most of us. But you can see the winds already ramping up. So this is similar to a setup that we saw in october. But not as windy as the october event. But still, we are looking at winds extraordinarily strong out of the north, a dry component which continues to just dry out the atmosphere even more. And we see the relative humidity climb through the overnight hours. Thats when we usually get the better recovery. Thats not really going to happen tonight. By 10 00 tomorrow morning, the wind advisory and the we hred f warning should expire. The next seven days, were looking not only dry weather, but we had one chance of rain that looked like it was going to come in wednesday and thursday. Its going to keep the bay area dry and well see a little snow in the Sierra Nevada, we had some computer problems, sorry about that. I tried to cover most of our bases without the computer.
