With us all weekend long, but it will peak later tonight into sunday morning. And that will be in the hills of the north and east bay. But right now, lets cover where it is. It is everywhere across the bay area primarily, but were looking at the north northeast, winds 15 to 30 miles an hour. Gusts 40 to 60 miles an hour, bringing the relative humidity anywhere from 35 to 10. And that could create fire starts and allow the fires to spread easily. We also have a wind advisory. 8 00 this morning through 5 00 tomorrow for those northeast. Winds could gust as high as 50 miles an hour, bringing down trees, power lines and those unsecured objects. So objects. So make sure you put the lids on those trash cans. Youll be chasing them down the street. Hopefully not the winds out of the north right now. Saint helena, 32 miles an hour. You can see mount diablo. Not too bad. Current numbers are chilly once again, we are cold with the upper 30s in the north bay to the mid and upper 40s. Elsewhere so well be looking at our 24 hour temperature change that says were a little warmer but boy it is cold out there. So a sunshine and gusty winds arriving. Our red flag warning throughout the day. Well talk about the winds all throughout the afternoon into tomorrow. And when they will subside and the week ahead. Coming up, gloria. All right, lisa, thank you so much. The red flag warning is the largest of its kind for the bay area since october of 2021. We didnt have a warning last year. There is a lot of brush and grass that has overgrown because of the extremely wet winter. Abc7 News Reporter Lauren Martinez tells us more about the concerns as a mild fire season this year could change with the first red flag warning issued throughout the bay area this weekend. This kind of wind event is something that happens routinely this time of year. The month of october is known for producing catastrophic wildfires. This weekend, the National Weather service says there is less concern for dense areas from recent rains and the cool summer. The soil is not saturated, but it is moist and wet. But there is much more concern for finer grassier spaces scrapping a type of fuel that can burn very quickly. And so thats where i think people should be most cautious. Cal state east bay assistant professor tony marks block says this year more prescribed burns should be happening. Controlled burns create fire resilience and prevent fires from being extreme or erratic. What we see is a potential window in the coming weeks if this event really dries things out to allow for more prescribed fire. And i really encourage agencies to take advantage of those windows and burn the areas that are necessary to burn marks, block says. What should be of concern is how much moisture is needed in the coming weeks if we dont get rain for another month or so, then then we could and we get more and more of these as red flag events. We could have disasters occur on a scale that we havent seen since, you know, a couple of years ago, pgandes says theyre increasing their staff this weekend, but they are not anticipating any Public Safety power shutoffs in the south bay.
