Weve only hit 100 degrees in the city of San Francisco 12 times since we started keeping records officially back in the 1870s. And of those 12, nine of them have been in september.

Some of this is coming from that creek fire. A lot of it is just from the local fires, the fires from big sur have been throwing smoke our way. The spare the air day goes through tomorrow.

A layer of unhealthy air that should have you thinking twice to head out to exercise. We havent really ridden in a while. Thats why were excited today to get out there. Reporter jennifer and her friends started their bike ride early in the morning to avoid both the midday heat and the bad air. The air Quality Management district is warning the public about. We expect to have unhealthy air quality due to ozone. Thats a little bit different than whats been happening for the last three weeks where weve been enduring smoke. Reporter he says the remnants of the fires around the bay area as well as a brand new wildfire in Fresno County could worsen the already smoggy conditions. He says the poor air quality is of special concern for children and the elderly, and people with asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.

Thats 21 days in a row, three weeks straight of bad air. In san jose, devin fehely, kpix 5. Heres where things stand now in the creek fire. What started friday night, about 6 00 p. M. , has now exploded across more than 45,000 acres in fresno and madera counties. There is zero containment. Weve seen a number of dramatic escapes and rescues from the fire zone. Well show them to you in a few minutes. Theres no word on how many buildings have been destroyed. At least 3,000 are threatened. And theres a fire advisory for parts of yosemite. Closer to home, crews are making Good Progress against the three major fire complexes circling the immediate bay area. That includes the second largest fire in state history. The seu complex east of san jose is now 88 contained. The only slightly smaller lnu complex is 89 contained. To the south, the czu complex in the Santa Cruz Mountains is 64 contained. Crews have been setting backfires. That is 93 contained. But Point Reyes National seashore remains closed until further notice. Now to the state 4 grid so far managing to meet demand on this hottest day of the heat storm. Later this week, pg e might have to start cutting power on purpose as changing winds ramp up the fire danger. Kpix 5s betty yu on what that could mean for everyone trying to work and learn from home. The worst of the dangerous weather conditions has not yet moved through the bay area but a psps watch is in effect for tuesday and wednesday. Thats when those winds are expected to pick up. Reporter 48hour notices have already gone out to customers who could be affected by this latest psps. Parts of all bay area counties except San Francisco are included. We have worked, the last year, to enhance the psps program for our customers. And it will be shorter, smaller, and smarter. And one of those things is shorter. We expect to restore customers twice as fast. Reporter pg e says calling of psps is a last resort to ensure the safety of the community. Were an upstairs condominium. And its an oven. So if wereco were tro. Wer tkingalutwe wt even have. So we would have to leave our place. Reporter having dealt with extensive power shutoffs last fall, many east bay residents we spoke with at the walnut creek Farmers Market say they know the drill. Preparing, getting Important Documents together. Making sure we have all the paperWork Together. Just planning our different tactics. Putting together a list of things we have to get together. I have a small generator at home so if the power goes out, i can at least power our refrigerator. Actually have created like a getaway kit of food in case there are things like earthquakes which i suppose could be used. Reporter the power shutoff may come at an unfortunate time this year when many people are working from home and also relying on technology for distance learning. Because we work virtually. We need the internet for all communication right now and for meetings, for paperwork, for document writing. Without electricity, i couldnt get online. Were definitely affected. I work from home and ill lose my air conditioning. I think it depends how long the power outage will be, whether i lose food or not. Reporter the Contra Costa County Fire Protection district is also prepared. It has already closed in two extra engine crews. As wildfire resources on hand to take on the extreme heat, low humidity, and high winds. Those three things for us add up to red flag, red flag high fire danger conditions. So were always on alert when fire conditions are riskiest. Theyre about as risky as you can get across the east bay. Emergency officials are reminding residents to sign up for text alerts so you get the latest information from your county.

Eight minutes later a 2. 6 in the same area. One twitter user said, just felt a small earthquake. Saw my tv wobble and my dog stared at me. Make it stop. Another wasnt sure what it was at first, tweeting, i thought it was somebody moving their car in the garage, but no, it was a small quake. A third added, california is going through enough. Hold the quake, please. Still to come, from the ground to the air, incredible images of the narrow escapes from the creek fire zone. I think if we had stayed just 10 minutes more, we might not have been so lucky. Plus, a burning man celebration on the beach prompts a heated response from San Franciscos mayor. A stunner at the u. S. Open as an apparent temper tantrum takes out the top seed. A reminder, kpix 5 has a new app for live 24 7 access to our newscast and cbsn bay area. You can download it from a app store or google play and just search kpix. A fast moving fire that broke out in San Diego County this weekend doubled in size overnight. They now more than 5,000 acres and just 1 contained. Within a half hour, it just exploded and came up to almost where it is right now. And it just the intensity of the heat is just crazy. And in San Bernardino county, the El Dorado County is prompting mandatory evacuations near yucaipa. More than 3,000 acres have burned and the fire is just 5 contained. Theres incredible images of a daring escape from the creek fire in the central sierra. Watch. Holy those campers were trying to escape the flames when they quickly realized the only road out was straight through. Oh, my god. We made it. I think if we had stayed just0 minutes more, we mightnot. We did run into a ranger. She was able to lead us up to the point of that spot fire and it was actually per her instruction that we drove through that fire. They werent the only ones who escaped the fast moving flames. 224 campers in Mammoth Pool Reservoir, 25 miles southwest of mammoth mountain, were trapped and had to be rescued. 63 of them were airlifted out. Rescuers say two were severely injured and 10 others in that group were hurt less badly. Two more people opted to stay behind. And a look at whats happening above the fire. Satellite images capturing those massive clouds of smoke, reportedly reaching up to 50,000 feet high. Actually i texted darren that picture this morning. It said get a load of that and you responded, hard to look at. I guess thats what every fire is going to look like this season when it takes off. Death valley hit 130 today. Whats really wild to me, were only 15 degrees behind that. Thats a really good point. Its crazy. You look at the numbers behind you. Yikes. Thats where i want to pick up because i showed you the records at the top the newscast. Lets me pick out a couple other neighborhoods, show you where we were today, and then well move on because im going to show you whats coming. San ramon, 108. Pleasanton, 110. Fremont, 104. 108 in san rafael. Lets get down toward san jose. San jose hit 105. In the north bay, some of the highest numbers here. 111 for santa rosa. Thats out at the airport up there. 109 in sonoma. 110 in napa. A lot of smoke in the air right now. Weve had a lot of our own for a while. Were pulling in some smoke from that creek fire. A lot of that is really elevated. The rest of it is just kind of getting recycled here every day. We cant really catch a break. As a result, we can look at the air quality but it hasnt changed much and the story is so familiar. When you get into those deeper shades of orange and red, youre getting into the unhealthy for sensitive groups and flat out unhealthy. Its one thing to look at an hourly reading but you need to consider this is over two weeks of air quality like this. Thats also Something Else that needs to be taken into consideration. The duration of days in a row where youre breathing in air of this quality. You really want to start considering ways to limit your time spent out in this as much as you can. Because theres no end in sight at this point. Theres nothing significant to come in here and blow the air out of here. I think we should really be preparing ourselves for that. Keep our fingers crossed. But theres nothing significant coming our way. Not in the nearterm. To improve the situation. So once again, tomorrow weve got a spare the air. And weve long since shattered the record for the number of days in a row that weve done that. This map is actually morning lows. I know theres a lot of orange and yellow on it and theres a vast majority of the year where this would be daytime highs. But those are morning lows. Mid 70s tomorrow inland. That gives us a big head start to go to places like these numbers. Now, yeah, these numbers are a little lower than today. But only by a couple degrees. So san jose, youre going back to 102 tomorrow. Sunnyvale hits 100. N suntcityio 98. , 109 tomorrow for concord. 110 for livermore. Theres no improvement here. If you want to talk about two degrees cooler, thats a technicality and thats all we got. Keep that in mind for monday. This is still our third day of this long Holiday Weekend where people just want to get out and enjoy themselves. But you are really going to have to factor this stuff in. 105 for santaanwere going to tt 109 up in ukiah. No surprise. The excessive heat warning still in place. Stays in effect until monday night at 9 00. It was 100 today but tomorrow well get a little more onshore flow for the city. Well be able to get back down hopefully into the low 90s tomorrow. For that excessive heat warning, youre not going to get much help at all. All the places out here. Since weve gotten closer now, the National Weather service has changed the terminology. Its more imminent. The risk hasnt gone away. Weve changed it to the red flag warning. The focus is going to be on the north bay mountains. And in the east bay hills l. The areas we know so well are most at risk when we see the winds come from the bay area in the northeast. This pattern is shifting in good ways to help with the heat wave. You can see the clockwise circulation over us. Nats how weve gotten our heat wave. That breaks down over the next few days. We get a dip, a little bit of a trough here. Thats good news because it cools the temperatures down but the trough is going inland. This is the first one of the fall. Far more impressive. Watch how they race over the mountains in the north bay hills. They dry, they compress, they warm up. Everything we dont want the wind to do. Thankfully these are like 45mileperhour gusts which this is not good but it can get a lot worse than that. So something to at least be aware of and in the 7day forecast when the winds kick up, well also break the heat wave and finally bring the temperatures back into the low 90s if youre inland. Thats 70s degrees above average. More on this coming up in the next half hour. Straight ahead in sports, top seed bounce from the utah open but it may not be how you think.
