Didnt help all that hot weather continuing out there so humidity all the way down into boy just about 10 or so left percent or so in around some of these fires making it just perfect fire conditions the burn one thing that they dont have or huge strong gusty winds right now were looking at some 10 mile an hour winds 15 Miles Per Hour in and around the fire. But certainly that could change overnight. I think well start to see stronger winds beginning to pick up the good news is thats going to be more of a sea breeze, the downside is maybe 20 maybe some 30 mile an hour gust, developing in some of the mountainous areas inside some of the terrain as we take you near Lake Berryessa you can see all these fires burning here in and around this area will continue to see more that smoke filter into that area as well and as the winds subside late tonight early tomorrow morning, well see smoke all around the bay area something to be concerned about also along the coastline. Weve got another fire this just really east of pesky darrow winds now more out of the northwest at 10 even 12 Miles Per Hour that is burning in an area that is very rugged and well a little more green there along the coastline theyre going to see a higher influx of the humidity and thats some good news for them the winds. Not good news even though its going to be more of westerly component the winds certainly going to be Strong Enough for talking maybe some 20 mile an hour gusts may 30 mile an hour gusts across some of these areas with the fire, especially in the north bay and then by tomorrow afternoon, those winds again begin to pick up a more of a westerly component to win that will bring up the humidity and the temperature should begin to come down that should help firefighters a little bit as they try to get a whole on some of these fires back to you all right lawrence, thanks so much.
