Lunchtime. Still breezy enough as you can notice though just not as windy as this morning as and winds remaining with us enough into the early evening that yeah, fire danger is still of concern today, especially when youre talking temperatures as warm as we will have them again. 60s 70s and even some 80s to kick off this morning. Berkeley conquered Fairfield Beach at 77 degrees falling out of the 80s in berkeley just minutes ago. Alameda at 75 right now. Later todays daytime highs still in the upper 90s inland, mid 90s by the bay and some mid 80s right along the coastline. Robin. All right, thank you for the update lets update the morning commute which is off to a very quiet start to like what i see out there and checking the drive into San Francisco. So lets take a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza there it is traffic nice and smooth here at the pay gates easy going across the upper deck and no major issues there downtown San Francisco, heres 92. Its our busiest yes, we have a bit of a crowd leaving hayward but its not bad at all do expect to see some sluggish traffic west of the toll plaza. But so far that drive time is under 15 minutes from hayward to the peninsula and still wide open and hot spot free at the Richmond Sandra fell 7 minutes here 5. 80 west from the tolls off to one o one back to you thanks robin and happening now the genie has started restoring power to some bay area neighborhoods that had it knocked out, but thousands are still waking up in the dark. And the areas impacted are still the same as yesterday in fact, well zoom and a pg and es outage map and the areas here in pink and purple or those areas that they targeted with power shut offs. The peninsula hills, the Santa Cruz Mountains obviously still a high concern for them not so much in the diablo range anymore but out near the altamonte past certainly we still have some outages and the foothills along mount diablo too. The Oakland Hills in the clear now and it looks like as we head towards the north bay. Were still looking at outages for all those hilltops that flight both the napa and sonoma valleys. Speaking of napa lets go to kron fours will tran he is live in napa right now with the latest on the outages there good morning. Well. Good morning to area there are some parts in napa with power, no problems offer to 21, about 5 miles from downtown napa and only or headlights and our camera lights are lighting me up otherwise we are in the dark at this particular time pg and e they said they expected about 53,000 customers would have their power shut off but the conditions were not as bad as they thought so about 41,000 people are without power and this particular area. This is off of all of the hill lane. They are in the dark now a few miles from this location in calistoga and we have video to show you west of the napa river in calistoga they unfortunately they saw their power be wiped out by pg and e and of course this was a preemptive move just to make sure that their lines did not fall to the ground and accidentally start another wildfire, so there are thousands of people in west of the napa river in calistoga they were without power. Now if you are east of the napa river. You were without power. We have video of that in the reason why they had power. Its because a couple years ago calistoga in conjunction with pg and e they build a microgrid which is basically generators that allow certain communities to have power including hospitals and excuse me hospitals and shelters and police stations in that area to keep the power on for a Vital Services but not all of it. But some of those people east of the napa river in calistoga did they did have their power that pg and e they have their reaction they say it was. Unfortunate that they had to wipe out power to some. But necessary. When gus over 45 Miles Per Hour wind speeds over 25 Miles Per Hour in our weather stations or pg weather stations on not lena did record 65 mile per hour wind gusts really which is a big a big hassle. Now we have to go through all of this if this leads from like another like glass and suddenly better to have power for 2 days and be gone for like a week or so. Ok so heres how its going to work they have pg and e crews circling the sun this entire area looking at the line seeing whats going on you can see james darya the leaves above me theyre not swaying back and forth and that is good news because the wind that was the major concern you can see how still it is pg and e they will slowly but surely try to restore power, but its going to take some time because its not like flipping a switch instead because the power lines remember that its always the power lines they will have to look at the power lines to see if they were damaged and if not then they will turn on the power which takes a little bit of time. They are trying their very best but i kept thinking james and area they can give you an estimate, but its like the cable guy coming over. Well just try your best to make or slot or least our time slot as far turning on the lights but if youre asleep like it is now who doesnt like to sleep in the dark right. Back to you. Yeah, i just need the alarm clock to work way after all will thank you very like a fan going do. In the east bay people in Oakland Montclair village started getting their power back on last night they went though most of the day without electricity and that round of shut offs not as easy as it was for anybody remembers the last see as i was saying its hot weather combined with Distance Learning and working from home so how are the kids going to do that people were desperate to find relief they went to local malls coffee shops anywhere they could to get some power. Yeah, i can live us. You know chain to take things one day at a time the game. We didnt have internet. We had a couple of things both of us had work. Things that had to get tasks it had to get done. We drove around we came down here to start back see it can we actually ended up in emeryville a barnes and noble they had Free Internet at the book star. Could think end so she got to do pg and e was set to restore power this morning, were still checking in like will said you know just a wait and see also in the news this morning. The Trump Administration has rejected californias request for a major disaster declaration following several large wildfires.

Dean reynolds has more. The second debate was scrubbed after the president hell miss and his refusal to participate in a virtual debate with he and mister biden in separate remote locations so he was on nbc at the same time his opponent was on abc, i just go all the time they did you take us the doctor they give you a perfect answer yes to take a test and i leave and i go about so i just did you take a test on the day the needed and i took the test day before and the day before and i was always in great shape over on abc mister biden was pressed on the issue of Court Packing it becomes president. He said it depends on how the current confirmation process of judge Amy Coney Barrett is handled. If i say thats the headline tomorrow and wont be by much going on now the improper way theyre proceeding dont voters have a right to know where they do have a right to know i stand i have a right to know where i stand before they vote the former Vice President also offered what he suggested would be a stark contrast between a trump and a Biden Justice department. But by Justice Department do is let the department of justice be the department of justice. The judgments. Who should be prosecuted they are not my lawyers. Back on nbc the president was pressed to disavow White Supremacy and then specifically those who believe the socalled queuing on conspiracy with its contention that democrats are running a pedophile ring which only he can come back i just dont know about you and you to know i dont know you i dont know i dont lets waste a whole you start off with White Supremacy i denounce as you start off with Something Else lets go keep asking me let me just to do what i do hear about it is they are very strongly against pedophilia and i agree with that and the president was asked as well about his reported outstanding loans of 400 Million Dollars. Seeming to confirm the figure. Im very 100 leverage fortunately, but im very 100 leverage. I have a very very small percentage of debt compared check some of it i did his favors to institutions wanted to loan you money 400 Million Dollars compared to the ashes that i have all of these Great Properties all over the world and frankly the bank of america building in San Francisco. I dont love whats happening just Million Dollars office confirming that yes we some 400 Million Dollars saying is that its a tiny percentage of my net worth.

Some ice cream or something because were going to be just as hot as yesterday for much of the bay area yet again. You look outside from berkeley still very Crystal Clear weve gotten used to those nice clear skies so far this week as marine layer has been well away from the bay by consistent offshore wind your big picture set up really has not changed much over the course of the past 3 days were still in the midst of some pretty strong winds these hot dry winds continue from the northeast across the north bay, the east bay, even though that the coast some pretty consistent offshore winds right there, Half Moon Bay or windiest conditions have been in sonoma up into northern portions of napa county and portions of solano counties too. Now as we work our way into the afternoon notice, how wind speeds do calm down not enough for red flag warnings to expire just yet those of an extended till 06 00pm tonight. Despite the fact that it will be a noticeably calmer afternoon across the bay. Its still going to be hot.

Tomorrow much much calmer conditions and a nice little break from the highest a fire danger were in the midst of heat advisory towards the coast and peach while red flag warnings continue for the rest of the bay area as for temperatures today, look at these 90s and mission in financial districts, 80s right along the coastline.
