Were talking about you know we get so accustomed to talking about how hot its going to be some going to be necessary so hot. But very dry and windy to breezy with all this as well and you heard party talking earlier about the red flag warning theres the Coverage Area the whole day. Waters edge to the inland valleys higher elevations, lower elevations and valleys am through 11 00am on monday gives us a good 24 hours plus on that warning period live shot coming in from half moon bay, russia deal with some cloud cover in even some localized fog in some areas to take the elevator fog a little bit. Bay area not too off the upper 50s going on the east bay shoreline 40s up to the north bay 54 San Francisco, 53 going on for can also for san jose giving you comparison sake, were a little cooler along the peninsula and up to the north bay. A little warmer in the east bays you can see by a couple degrees here. All right a wakeup forecast keeps some of those clouds and a little bit in the way that
This is not story we want to start with today. You got that fire that started already and weve got a significant wind event coming to the bay area in fact red flag warnings going up across the entire bay area as we look toward the weekend were going to see these winds really begin to pick up so weve had some breeze out there today a little bit of more of an on shore flow out there some westerly winds thats all going to change over the weekend going to see more of a northerly wind so yeah, a lot of the hills have been talking about red flag warnings as of sunday into monday were talking red flag warnings for the entire bay area with some of those gusts. Maybe 6070 Miles Per Hour the peak. So that is a major concern a fire now burning in the north bay wind right now out of the west you can see that sea breeze kind of kicking in and as we head through the day tomorrow, well start out fairly calm then we get toward the afternoon. Those winds start to pick up again and they start to get on
L a new fire in fact those fires you can tell that the brush there was already set ready to go so youre in very active fire region and now weve got another fire burning. And weve got some very strong winds coming on the way. Winds right now weve seen of the 1618 Miles Per Hour in fire certainly enough to move that fire long. But thats not what were most concerned about is the winds that will likely take place this weekend, red flag warnings are going up for the entire bay area over the weekend expecting some 4050 mile an hour gusts, even down in the valley floors were going to see some very gusty winds extremely low humidity maybe even some places less than 10 and over the mountain tops maybe some 6070 mile an hour winds. So here we go put this into motion now as we take in tomorrow morning, not bad just an easy breeze. Now the west generally but then things begin to start to shift gears we start to see things pick up and by the afternoon and evening tomorrow, those winds start to pick
Red flag warning is set to go into effect later this weekend to parts of the bay area are bracing for what is expected to be the strongest wind event of the year. Lets go to chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow who is tracking the dangerous fire conditions certainly dont like to see an active fire were forecasting a potentially some of the strongest winds. Weve seen in quite some time at least this year maybe even longer, but certainly a possibility some firestorm events we continue to see this but. The winds out there right now in and around this active fire. The pope fire we continue to see some of those winds out of the west thats not a bad wind thats a more moist when thats developing right now. We saw as high as 80 Miles Per Hour this afternoon now to 8 to 10 Miles Per Hour. So just some light winds blowing now on likely going to see those winds pick up a more out of a westerly wind as we head toward tomorrow, but. Then things begin to change and so thats what were concerned about
Experiencing of the week conditions that were bracing for on sunday and so that is obviously in our favor right now. I know that if this fire started on sunday night things would be vastly different we talk all the time daniel give us some perspective i know all red flag warnings are not created equal how bad it is this one thats coming sunday night monday. Well we definitely dont want to sound like a broken record as we have been in and out of red flag for the last several last several weeks and really the last several months this wind event that we are expecting to see on sunday will bring a extremely strong winds winds that we have not really experience this fire season in fact the last time we saw winds this magnitude and this widespread really in the 2017 and north bay fires so when the tubbs fire yeah was fires burning in sonoma and napa counties and we know how destructive those result so yeah, definitely its been a destructive year definitely bracing for what could be the stron
