Conditions continue were looking purple spots up and ran county look all around mount and then finally in the north bay. Weve got widespread areas in both napa and sonoma counties, particularly higher in the hills but anywhere where the winds pick up thats where p g news potentially going to be shutting off power if they havent done so already weve got Team Coverage kron fours will tran in the east bay Sarah Stinson in the north bay and john trouble in the Weather Center john lets go to you because this is forecast is very important. Yeah we are looking at a very windy next few hours ahead of us, especially although its going to remain breezy even into the afternoon ahead of us windy conditions noteworthy for areas that dont usually see the strongest of winds either this is pretty a substantial all across the region, lets get a look outside its it hurts our notice. Theres really no fog thats because these are dry offshore winds pushing mostly out of the north and out of the northeast. So its dry. It is windy and we also have plenty of dry tender out there dry brush dry grasses that adds up to the high fire danger were in the midst of 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour gusts regularly all across the bay from happen bay, San FranciscoOakland Hayward danville fairfield calistoga and snow but you yourselves well into a 40 mile per hour range for your wind gusts currently in staying that way through noontime today we will come down into the close of the day by the drive home tonight still breezy but not near as windy and then into the evening and tomorrow we come down even further red flag warnings extended into tuesday at 05 00pm all across the bay if youre watching this theres a good possibility, a good likelihood that you are one of these spots under red flag warnings because its from the coast or inland areas north to south. All across the bay. We are also under wind advisories that expire this morning at 11 00am 50s and 60s for current temperatures, it is mild and cool to start things out skies are overall clear its just those winds that are the catch to this morning, im talking plenty more on your forecast still to come winds also going to be interrupting your morning commute robin, whats like out there right now. Yeah, youre absolutely right. We have high wind advisories for our bridges and lots of debris scattered across lanes of traffic so be extra cautious a be on the lookout for that. Driving around the bay area this morning, were up to 92 are checking in on the san mateo bridge, heres a live look at its low, its been slow for the last hour or so so a lot of folks are rolling over to the peninsula but no big problems, im happy to report that 15 minutes here from 80 off to one on one of the bay bridge back up is gone at least for now about 40 minutes ago we had some heavier traffic at the toll plaza, but it has temporarily fanned out, i think well see another wave shortly but right now youre good come on and 15 minutes off to fremont street were checking in on the nimitz because we do have a crash thats active right here southbound at high street at least one lane blocked so the back of his not about a mile or so leading up to the scene at least its the counter commute directions. The crash. A southbound your commute direction is northbound in 8. 80 north looks good. Were checking on highway 40 picking up a little bit 18 minutes antioch to concord and then one o one still nice here from san jose to menlo park well check more traffic coming up back to you thank you robin, a 7 03 lets get back to the big story which is in the extreme win and the high fire danger in fact weve already seen fires as you can see this one broke out overnight, yeah and it was the worry of course with that the winds would spread the fire beyond what firefighters could control this is u haul business in conquer, but thankfully they were able to put it out and stop it from spreading. Yeah theres actually this is a monument boulevard so they were concerned about some businesses. This is an example of the wind whipping flames and how difficult it is and that high fire danger is exactly why pg e cut the power to many communities all across the bay area including the east bay, yeah, or into a prime example kron fours will tran is there with a look at conditions right now well. The conditions are getting a little bit better thanks to the sunrise you can see the marquee right behind me thats the famous or end a Movie Theater and lights are off theres nothing on right now theres some coffee shops that usually would be wheeling and dealing right now and said they dont have power so i dont even see employees showing up to work at this particular time that power has been out for quite some time thank goodness for my own light or some headlights that can keep crisscrossing this area otherwise it would be complete darkness but the sun is rising so thats some good news right there. Let me show you some video from a rendon lets bounce over to concord in the overnight hours the winds were howling that it took down a tree and look out when he came also took some power lines with it didnt look appear to be too much damage in that particular area it look like that house dodged a major bullet as far as damage but the winds whipping up around that area you might be able to see the flags at that car dealership as well from concord lets bounce over to san leandro same deal the wind in spare any of got a stronger than others but the bottom line is it did cause damage in san leandro as well when trees came down in that area fell on top of the house were not hearing of any major injuries. To that location, but this is the way its going to be for the next several hours as pg any were not the only ones watching the winds pg and e as well which is why they sent out this map for the overnight hours and look at how purple that is purple rain meaning places without power of course are without power as well. Yes, there are some street lights, but its quite random james and jury on just pretty much all the intersections dont have lights at this particular time many people are confused wondering when lights will be turned on. Were not sure in pga know pge already said that more lights could be turned off approximately more than 100,000 customers if you have your lights on right now consider yourself lucky, because there is a good chance as the hours move on that those particular areas with the winds could also be without power. James darya. All right, thanks a lot in with the wind a strong is much damage as weve seen who knows how long it will take peach in a 2 turn them back on look at this hour on john trouble driving into work. This morning spotted this fire that broke out near the glen park bart station right along 2 80 there in San Francisco. You can see the smoke in the streets like street lights there and then in a minute well see the actual flames themselves. Again just another example of how dangerous it can be when the winds are hi like this and firefighters jumped on this real quick got it out before it had a chance to spread good at multitasking and we have Team Coverage. This morning as we move throughout the morning john travel is a big part of that. Also in the north bay. So is Sarah Stinson shes covering the outages there. Yeah last we checked with her it was kind of blustery at her location, good morning. Sara. Very chilly wind up here near mount him above mill valley you can see the sun rising behind me its absolutely gorgeous but theres definitely a strong wind thats all across the north bay here in marine county its strongest near mount him with very strong gusts up to 70 Miles Per Hour and then in pockets down below in marine county will see calmer when take a look at this video that youll see it from santa rosa, i mean all across the north a marine sonoma napa county seeing the strong wind out there and this wind was blowing over some Outdoor Furniture you can hear it the clay can do is the wind and things blowing its been quite intense all night long and this is exactly why pg e has decided to shut off the power to thousands of their customers. And we had our cameras as well in Solano County where you can see. Just more wind more wind in more wind that is the biggest story, you know usually we hear about this wildfire danger we cant see it we cant grasp it. But with this so when we can really see it our own eyes and feel it when youre out there driving youre definitely going to feel it you got to keep both hands on the wheel make sure youre prepared because theres a lot of debris all over the roads really all over that ive seen so far on one oh one in on side streets in marine county, but here on the map now you can see all of the north bay affected by this power outage all in purple. Those are the where the customers are either without power will be without power does that red flag warning is still in effect and will be until 11 oclock so this wind is going to be sticking around so its something well be waking up to this morning we have to wait at least another hour for the sun to be fully up until lead people are in the dark still, and if youre you could be soon enough so stay tuned, were keeping update work keeping in a look at all of this will keep you up to date as soon as we hear more, but its definitely windy out here now that the sun is coming up a little bit i think i can get more of that video of all of the debris in the road. Its been super dark outside super windy and a little dangerous out there so be careful as you head out the door for now live in Murray CountySarah Stinson back to you. Thanks a lot sheriff. Yeah its a windy us this morning, even though we will be Still Holding on to breezes this afternoon winds will gradually come down by the afternoon. 60s and 70s are your high temperatures later on today, not all about of the day. Im talking what exactly to expect hour by hour still to come. Im tracking your commute around the bay area its getting busy out there, especially on the bridges like 92 pretty packed youre leaving hayward heading over to the peninsula, but also number of accidents working right now so ill have details coming up. I didnt choose this job because it was easy. But i cant say i expected this. To fight these fires, we need funding plain and simple. For this crisis, and for the next one. Prop 15 closes tax loopholes so rich corporations pay their fair share of taxes. So firefighters like me, have what we need to do the job, and to do it right. The big corporations want to keep their tax loopholes. Its what they do. Well, i do what i do. If yould like to help, join me and vote yes on prop 15. Their team. Yeah because of the strong winds and increased fire danger today. We have several popular parks in the east bay shut down weve got a list here we can share with you. The parts are being shut down by the east bay municipal utility district so an in addition to that they also have more rangers to that will be patrolling just to make sure that nobody goes where theyre not supposed to go. Again the parks operated by the east Bay Regional Park District closed on sunday because of the fire danger theyre expected to remain closed today and on your screen you see the list for which parks are impacted by this want to take closer look of course you can find it on our website at kron 4 dot com. Right now we want to continue our look at the weather because thats the biggest thing facing you as well or hit you in the face as you head out the door youll feel that the second you step outside jontre well talk more about that in the Weather Center john yeah guys definitely one of those mornings where you want to hold on to your hat as tight as you can and both hands on the Steering Wheel as you are driving because some gusty conditions continue after some very significant overnight winds to this morning skies, nice and clear at Half Moon Bay, and thats really the case all across the region as these are cool off shore winds, cool and dry winds that are pushing in really any marine layer out of the region so we were remain temperate today. But we are going to be seeing much if any fog nor that moist air that comes along with an ocean breeze just the opposite some very dry conditions. Temperatures right now are cool and wind speeds are very breezy 30 to 40 mile per hour gusts. All across the region, a little calmer across the south bay. You can see calistoga danville Fairfield Vacaville among your areas looking at those most sizable wind gusts right now by late morning into early afternoon still very breezy. But beginning to come down more and more so after that point by the time we work our way into the evening tonight and eventually into tomorrow morning. Conditions are a whole lot calmer so at least theres that to look forward to red flag warnings set to expire tomorrow at 05 00pm across the region will still be breezy enough tonight and into tomorrow that fire remains of concern these are dry winds. Despite the fact that were not in the 90s triple digits nor really even in the in the 80s on the map. We still all it takes is a spark to be able to see a fast growing fire so winds still very present condition still very dry and plenty of dry brush and grasses out there. High wind advisories. Those will expire today at 11 00am after that point winds will gradually come down for the remainder of the day today as for daytime highs today lot to look forward to hear at least will be comfortable 70s for most of our bay area locations, Half Moon Bay fremont each at 70 degrees Oakland HaywardSan Francisco sitting in the mid 70s today, some of our warmest of areas in marine and sonoma counties novato youre at 77 today, santa rosa at 76 for your high today. Temperatures over your next 7 days will be really nice not a whole lot of change actually upper 70s for inland valleys all the way through the week until we are a little bit cooler come your friday just briefly though bayside cities mostly mid 70s for you not a whole lot different than our inland valleys and for the coast it will be upper 60s to low 70s for your highs, lots of sunshine really all in on this forecast and staying dry for the remainder of the week. Robin. Thank you john lets check in on the traffic because the lines are getting longer on our bridges we finally have some crowding here at the richmond sandra fell bridge a live look at west 5 ad leading up to the toll plaza you see the folks coming to a crawl so its just now picking up but still not bad and no major issues to the north bay so 12 minutes. Thats a great drive time off to one oh one here at the bay bridge toll plaza traffic has actually thinned out for now hopefully it will stay this way we have some delays about an hour ago was stacked up from west grand thats no longer the easygoing at 15 minutes into San Francisco. Were checking in on one oh one because i discovered this car fire northbound near at least one lane blocked so north one oh one a little slow leading up to that vermont exit keep that in mind but its not a major issue and then coming along the dublin grade 5 in west and eating canyon that was the scene of a grass fire earlier this morning thats out in under control. But now we have a crash still working so one lane blocked its backing up into dublin so expect heavy traffic leaving dublin working away along the great toward castor valley. Ill keep my eyes on that for you and one more this accident on the nimitz still there still active southbound at high street, its heavy out of downtown oakland so consider 5. 80 instead of the nimitz if you want to avoid this back up well check more slow downs coming up back to you, thanks robin 7. 17 and winds across the bay area are causing concern for drivers. Yeah weve got crawfords yulia 7 she sort of been out and about. Roaming to find where the damage has been caused by the wind worry now you only. Im on 5 live honor or pass on 5. 80 just right off the high street those winds actually knocked down a pretty sizable tree onto the 5. 80 just as you try to enter from hot the high street exit you can see city workers right there. Theyre theyre actually cleaning it up there theyre theyve already cut up quite a bit of the tree but lets show you some video of how big that tree is. So just as youre either trying to get up onto the freeway or just driving by the that tree really stuck out pretty far into that number 4 lane of the 5. 80 heavy heavy westbound now. You know you can see even from the roots a gis toppled over the wind just. Ripped the roof ripped the tree out from its roots and it just landed right there on the freeway that is what what its been like all throughout over here in the east bay over and sally andrew and ruin and also over here in on the 5. 80 just tree limbs down everywhere just kind of obstructing either the street or the sidewalks this location right now here on the 5. 80 looks like its going to clear up pretty soon and just in time because this is when traffic starts to get but it was causing quite a bit of an obstruction for people to jump on safely on to the 5. 80. Now at this point it looks like a little safer because theyve slowed down traffic doing those traffic breaks and it looks like its going to clear up in the next 10 minutes or so back to you guys ok thank you very much julie.
