Lets get back to vianey arana with the big story of the night. The red flag warning we got here in parts of the bay area. Thats right, terry.

I want to showcase whats going on throughout the entire bay area as well because we are going to notice the winds begin to decrease. So lets get a look right now. Bay bridge, beautiful shot there. Were going to see that marine layer mixed out thanks to all that wind. Right now over walnut creek 60 degrees. We did hit a high of 75. Breezy right now in most spots.

You probably noticed it was a lot cooler. And even then we had fire danger. Right now were doing okay, 50, 60 . But as High Pressure begins to roll in overnight, were expecting peak winds between midnight and 6 00 a. M. Gusts upward of 50 miles an hour, which is why we are under a micro climate weather alert specifically for the north bay because of this red flag warning through tomorrow at 8 00 p. M. For elevations above 1,000 feet. What exactly does this mean . Those winds will shift and we will get northerly winds. That will dry us out, which means poor humidity in terms of the cover overnight and bone dry conditions heading into monday. Dont get your guard down if you live near these areas. Give them a heads up because the winds will be peaking overnight when most people are sleeping. The winds will be kicking up again. Your micro climate highs for tomorrow, we will be comfortable for the coastline, but it will start to kick up because, remember, that High Pressure will dry us out but it will also warm us up into the upper 80s and even potentially low 90s tuesday and into wednesday. Notice in the sevenday forecast we keep the 80s in there and overnight lows in the 50s. But the big thing i want you to remember is that red flag warning will be in place for north napa, sonoma coupty areas. Please be careful out there. Be mindful and remember we will be keeping these winds through tomorrow morning. You might even see some of those winds. Be safe out there and you can catch us on social media and i hope everybody has a good night. All right, vianey arana. Thank you very much. Featuring former San Francisco mayor willy brown.
