Its them giving my life back. My name is norbie, and yes, i do suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder, but im okay. Breaking news at 5 00, homes and cars are going up in flames in the north bay, the wind is fueling three fires in napa and sonoma counties, this is new video from the shadedy fire. Thanks for being with us. Today is monday, september 28. And here we go again on fire watch as part of the north bay burns. Well check in now with lisa noa arre argen, it will be hot for everyone. So hot we still have the heat advisory until 7 00 and 9 00 tonight. Live doppler 7, no fog out there. And as soon as light happens, well be able to see the signature of those flames from the satellite picture. The glass fire, shady fire,, boizboi boyson fire and you can see that the winds are north to northeast continuing to dry out the atmosphere. So right now temperatures are near 80 degrees, even warmer than that in spots. Relative humidity, 15 and dropping with the winds out of the north at 8. All around the winds are gusting to 30 and 40 Miles Per Hour. Now, when there is a fire, the flames reach the fires ahead uphill. So fires want to travel up a him side. But the north wind is allowing for the winds to move downslope, is it th so that is slowing the rate of spread. But really not much good news. As we look at the current temperatures, 64 in campbell, 73 in alameda. How about 75 right now in San Francisco and 84 in napa. So you can see no cooling at all except if you are right there Half Moon Bay at 55 degrees. So well look at not only the warmer temperatures that were building on from yesterday, you can see 2 to 10 degrees of warming, but more drying in atmosphere today as the winds continue at least for the next five hours or so. You can see hawkeye here, mout. Diab diablo, 28 mileperhour wind gusts. And after about 10 00, these winds will dial back and well get a break in terms of the wind speed, but the wind direction will still be out of the northeast. So air quality today obviously poor in the north bay, east bay, south bay spare the air alert. And then were looking at the relative humidity this morning, already it is low. But this is about 3 00, 4 00, were down to about 8 . So yeah unfortunate conditions. So we have the creek fire to the south, the fires to the north and is this a loop that shows that the wind activity will keep poor air quality over the bay area for the day today. So as we look at the wind profile, notice by 9 00, 10 00, the winds get lighter. So we have that going for us. And there is fog to the south of us, this is the afternoon. So it will help out the coast. But by tomorrow, the coast and bay will feel the femgts of the marine layer. But not for our friends inland. Look at this wider view, as we get into the week ahead, the winds will shift and they will be in our favor, but this will take several days.

This is video of the Skyhawk Community where you can see structures burning along sun hawk drive.

Today were expecting another update from governor newsom, he will talk about the states response to the wildfires and the covid19 pandemic at noon. Well be streaming it live right here on abc 7 and online at abc7news. Com and on the free abc 7 news app. Dr. Anthony fauci is on gma this morning speaking about where the u. S. Stands as the weather gets colder. I know, it is just getting warmer here, but obviously there is a concern about winter ahead. He says some parts of the country are doing better than others, but he is really worried about states that are reopening that are reporting i should say worsening case counts. There are states that are starting to show uptick in cases and even some increase in hospitalizations in some states. And i hope not, but we very well might start seeing increases in deaths. That is really something that i had discussed some time ago, something you dont want to be in a position like that as the weather starts getting cold. Dr. Fauci says that it is critical to get Community Spread down as low as possible as we get into the colder months where of course most people will be spending their time inside. And firefighters are working to keep flames from getting closer to the deer park road area where a hospital was evacuated. Cleaning all the air filters, replacing air scrubbers throughout the hospital to keep our air safe. And just keeping everything up and running properly. You have to go through Something Like this and turn off certain medical devices, lock up narcotics, things like that. So all of that was done in methodical fashion. 55 patients were evacuated from thethe center. The facility has temporarily suspended emergency and hospital care. San francisco firefighters are helping in napait is five fire engines heading north to fight the glass fire yesterday. They also sent four ambulances to help with their hospital evacuations. Sadly they will be facing some tough conditions today as lisa has been outlining for us this morning. Lisa. Good morning. Yeah, as we look right now currently at our winds, they are gusting to 44 Miles Per Hour. Hawkeye, mount st. Helena, mount key diablo. Yesterday they were 60 to 70 Miles Per Hour, so not quite as strong and they will continue to subside after 9 00. So were in this burst of wind right now, and it is not even 6 00. So another four hours or so of this before we see them subside. The wind direction wont 1wi67 though. At the surface, we still have breezy winds in cal police toga, but winds are calm at sea level and with all of these fires here, these fans feeding the flames here from the wind certainly with the direction offshore, with the warm dry conditions, the low relative humidity and the fast speed of the winds. So not a good scenario. Looking at temperatures in the hills here, near 80 degrees and the winds continue to be quite gusty out there. So the spare the air alert today, you will notice the poor air quality in the north bay, santa clara valley, and the relative humidity is what we check for the moisture in the atmosphere. And so anywhere from 13 vacaville where you have a breeze to about 76 in oakland and look what happens as we go up broke 1,000 feet. Already at about 16 for the oakland hills, 20 mout. Diablo. So well be in the 90s to triple digits again today. And even though the winds will be less, well still see the air super dry. So were well into the 60s and 70s by about 11 00, 12 00, look at the temperatures 90s for pretty much everyone except if you are right on the coast here. And by about 4 00, were back to the triple digits like yesterday but even drier. There will be always less wind and then well be looking at the cooler conditions, a little fog from santa cruz tonight only helping out our friends in pacifica, Half Moon Bay, maybe into San Francisco. It is tomorrow where the bay will feel a little bit of cooling, but inland, you have to wait until thursday. So with the Evacuation Orders in place, people are trying to get out of the area.
