A lot of these questions whats going on with red flag warning john yeah, robin is something weve seen a lot so far this season, its a pairing of the already hot temperatures that weve had that are only getting hotter dry conditions and the noticeable increase in wind speeds today these offshore winds will be pushing into the bay area consistently starting today lasting through tomorrow into early friday, too. And red flag warnings are officially in effect as of just a few minutes ago looking outside at our sutro tower right here skies are crystal clear. No fog. No cloud cover it is dry at least it is a beautiful start to the morning as i mentioned red flag warnings really just took effect from 05 00am this morning until 11 00am on friday and really lighting up the vast majority of the bay area here upper elevations of the Santa Cruz Mountains from the inland east bay all the way out to the hills right above oakland, san leandro down through fremont and then all across the north bay to from Solano County. All of napa and sonoma counties until you get to the coast and much more in county to winds gusting as high as 45 Miles Per Hour and with temperatures as hot as we are about to be seeing them that is that recipe for a potentially rap and growing wildfire as we know we have seen so much of so far this season. So we know you choose to extremes to use extreme fire caution. Fire with a preparedness as you are getting outside lighter winds right now we are starting to see wind speeds picking up across the north bay though winds picking up ever more so into the afternoon today by the time we work into the evening tonight. It will be the peak of this wind event this is around midnight tonight, vacaville out was p calistoga winds regularly gusting into that 20 to 30 mile per hour range. Highest gust into the 40 to 50 mile per hour range, picking up in the east bay too especially into tomorrow, this is thursday morning now right here still very windy in the north bay as well as the east bay winds consistent through thursday and on into friday morning to when those red flag warnings do eventually expire middle of the day on friday. Temperatures are still relatively cool at the moment, but we will start to see daytime highs into the afternoon noticeably warmer than they have been the past few days for livermore and dublin its the 50s right now well for nevada were starting off the morning in the 70s. Later today it will be upper 80s for san jose oakland and San Francisco very near the coastline with 90s for our inland spots all beginning to more details about exactly what to expect right where youre at still ahead in the show back to you guys all right thats not a good combination hot dry and windy. Thank you john. Well now im more on our top story this morning of course the high winds the dry hot weather will likely mean power shutoffs tonight all across the bay area thats going to be big worry napa county of course, one of those areas that could be hit hardest. By planned Power Outages. Thats why we have kron 4 Sarah Stinson ive in napa county this morning. With the latest from there sarah. And thats right live here in napa county just right near calistoga one of the areas that will have their power shut off tonight and take a look at flag is a cold brew flag but i notice it because the wind is blowing it. The wind is already intense out here take a look at this map you can see then the north bay appears going to be the hardest hit sonoma napa county specifically though it just. 9,000 customers to do about power tonight, he said sometime this evening that power would go out. And so its going to be a you know the tough time for these people because a lot of the calistoga and the north bay residents these cut their power back especially those in the fire zone, the fire is just almost. Fully contained in yet we are at a point where we have more wildfire danger unfortunately is its concerning for sure. Now the highest probability areas for this wildfire danger or the north bay mountains near not seeing holiness small pockets in the east bay near mount diablo the Oakland Hills east of piedmont portions of the santa cruz area and its definitely going to be a time where people have to prepare for but we caught up with pg need to ask more about this power shut off they said you know this is something that they use as a precaution to prepare for wildfire danger. Overall turning off power to our customers is not decision we made lightly its psta some answer to a last resort is only one other of us are so severe that People Safety was their homes and their businesses may be in danger. And now take a look at your screen to see how you can prepare we talked about this yesterday but its important to go over it again make sure you have gallons of water available with nonperishable foods flashlights extra batteries, portable phone chargers thats definitely key. If you have a generator hopefully by now youve practiced using it before the Power Outages because you want to make sure they are using it correctly before you really really need it now since were talking about wildfire danger make sure you have a first aid kit a go bag. Emergency preparedness kit, especially up here in the north bay take a look now live. Here you can see it says fire danger is high. That is of great concern now im really close to calistoga out here look see its still windy. I was actually surprised to see just how windy it was out here, i know john said it was windy, but then once youre out here you really get to see for yourself just how windy it is and its only going to get more and more windy and that is really the reason behind these Power Outages making sure that we should off the power before that big wildfire danger heads into here in the north bay all across the bay area all send it back to you know you are going to continue to head. East into calistoga. All right sarah, thank you very much. Well these fay could also be hit with Power Outages because of the high fire danger weather. This will impact homes all throughout the Oakland Hills pg e says that people here can expect possible power shut off there tonight. And that will last through friday morning. First thought is im keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it doesnt happen. And second if it you know the way this year his gun is kind of got boy just one more thing i hope it doesnt it will be kind of a nuisance if it does. Well pge will be making a final decision later on this morning on which areas will have their power cut off so well definitely keep you posted.

We are back time now is 5. 12 got to talk about the weather thats going to be big news today her on the map so lonely hot windy dry equals danger, john in the Weather Center explain good morning. John thats the math of guys that really does weve seen these dangerous conditions this high fire danger so much this season and i know none of us wanted to talk about it anymore. But here we go again we all know those factors. The increased especially dry winds out of the north and northeast which but all that heat our direction and the increasing temperatures that weve already been seeing gradually this week and are now going to really see kicking up a notch even more so for the rest of the week now aside from berkeley skies are crystal clear. Theres really little coastal influence this morning. At least air quality is good this morning. So id say if you do want to get outside for a jog do so little bit earlier in the day than maybe you typically would enjoy the cool morning conditions while we have them winds will only be picking up more and more later in the day today too so even though were already breezy. Its not as windy as it is about to be with this highpressure ridge setting up shop to our west it is going to draw this hot dry air our direction, funneling hot dry inland air right into the daytime highs right along the bay are also going to be seeing numbers rising consistently on into today tomorrow, especially now winds right now as i mentioned have picked up, but its not the windiest time just yet into the afternoon today even windier conditions in by early tomorrow morning look at this consistently windy for calistoga glen ellen in sonoma as well as down through Sonoma County you are Solano County these deeper shades of red indicating those areas that are going to be consistently. Windy not just into tonight and tomorrow morning but through the day tomorrow and then picking back up again into friday morning. Thats why red flag warnings are just for a couple of days here, but all the way from 05 00am this morning just a few minutes ago all the way through friday at 11 00am so much of the rest of your work week will be affected by this heightened fire risk this includes upper elevations of the Santa Cruz Mountains on the peninsula where was a gust as high as 35 Miles Per Hour. All of the inland east bay once you had right up into the hills above Oakland Fremont all the way to our inland valleys, affected by those same wind speeds gusting anywhere from 20 to 35 Miles Per Hour all of Solano County affected as well wind gusts here up to 35 Miles Per Hour. And those peak wind gust as high as 45 to 50 Miles Per Hour for upper elevation are in sonoma and napa counties where fire danger will also be at its highest for much of the rest of the week ahead of us now as far as temperatures go noticeably, warmer for many spots, San Franciscos mission in financial districts, well up into the mid to upper 80s, returning to the 80s and Half Moon Bay was 70s elsewhere at the coast. Well temperatures in the 80s to 90s for bayshore cities today, youll notice even more 90s right along the bayshore come tomorrow as offshore winds draw that heat right along the bay itself that means daytime highs today or even at their warmest we still have hotter days ahead of us in your thursday and friday midnineties for walnut creek in danville at 95 conquered, youre right there too open to 86 today, snow but at 96 while pittsburgh in antioch at 94 low 90s from santa rosa down through mill valley. As i mentioned tomorrow and friday are still going to be our hottest days with mid inland highs into the mid to upper 90s and low 90s right along the bay, shore saturday and sunday you start to notice temperatures plummeting along the bay. Thats because those winds relax after midday friday, wind speeds really tend to come down. That means fire danger coming down along with it and even though still warm into the weekend some relief from the highest fire risk. Robin all right, thank you for the update john now lets update that morning commute your ride to work is looking good. Driving into San Francisco, no problems at all its picking up a little bit we have more folks heading in but no major issues. Its clear right on across the upper deck through downtown San Francisco over to the skyway james let the central to 18 looking good too over to 92 the trip across the bay between the east bay in the peninsula. Look at that lots of brake lights and youll see traffic continue to fill in as we roll through the 5 oclock hour more and more folks will be packing up heading to the peninsula. But no big problems right now so a little crowded, but not bad under 30 minutes for your drive time. Were checking one oh one across the golden gate, im just scanning the north bay on one oh one i dont see any problems through nevado mill valley sausalito on into San Francisco. So south 1 one will be a good trip or northbound if youre leaving San Francisco thats out the limit as well and we have the richmond sandra fell that drive between the north bay and the east bay and its still right on time no problems here under 10 minutes to make it off to one on one jakes. Thank you very much robin at 5. 17 this morning Pharmaceutical Company eli lilly has hit pause on their Coronavirus Vaccine trial due to what it describes as potential safety concerns now this comes after johnson and johnson was forced to stop their Covid Vaccine trial after reporting a patients unexpected illness. The company says that illnesses and accidents are an expected part of any clinical trial. President trump is continue to promise a vaccine before election day on the campaign trail. There is concern in the general population animal medical professionals that there might be some political influence to cut corners and will lease a vaccine for general use. Thats because so much has been heard that vaccines from the political side during the campaign. A number of people at the food and Drug Administration and the nih made very strong statements that we are going to see it here to the highest scientific standards. Well Johnson Johnson has declined to reveal any more details about the illness sighting. The participants privacy. The wedding industry is struggling during the pandemic and now theyre demanding more guidance from the state now dozens of people who work in the Events Industry war wedding attire as they marched at the State Capitol we have doug johnson now with the story. But as im sure many can imagine the past year has been a turbulent time for those who work in the wedding industry. This group has come from all over california to ask the legislature and the governor for some sort of guidance so they can at least attempt to save their fiscal year. Brides are not running away. But instead marching with purpose to walk her wedding and essentially what were doing is were trying to tell a state legislator that they need to stop ignoring the Events Industry president the California Association for private events or cape in kunta kinte explains under the color coded reopening tears system the state has given 0 guidance for what the dog walkers have guidance but events do not because of that commercial wedding receptions can not happen within the state of california
