A very good morning to you. Thanks so much for joining us this monday morning. Im laura garcia. We went on an extra 30 minutes early this morning at 4 00 a. M. Just because of this red flag warning. Im kris sanchez in for marcus washington. We are seeing some vegetation fires pop up overnight. Kari hall is watching those winds. And the high fire danger will continue throughout this morning as weve seen the high wind gusts especially in our upper elevations and the wind advisory will expire at 11 00 but the rest of the day will be breezy as we see the winds gusting for even our valleys up to 50 miles an hour.
