Crews are making progress on containing more than a dozen fires burning in the north bay seven days after they were sparked. We are waiting for updates from napa county officials. A press conference is expected to start any minute now. This is a live look at the Napa County Sheriffs Office where they are gathering. Well bring that conference to you live as soon as it begins. Heres a live look from sky 7 of the map feature giving residents of the north bay information about where many of these fires are burning. Geo locates by streets, highways and local landmarks. You can see spots like wildwood Mountain Road which has some flames in the background. Richards road is on that sky map 7, montgomery drive as well. Sky map 7 is a feature you will see only on abc 7 news. Lets check in now on wind conditions and temperatures in the fire areas. Heres our meteorologist lisa argen. Good morning, caroline. The winds are still breezy and thats allowing temperatures to be really warm at the coast and cooler elsewhere. Live doppler 7, were clear but we do have a spare the air alert because the air quality is is pretty poor out there. The north bay, unhealthy. Pushing the main smoke offshore, but in addition weve got some gusty winds. Look at mt. Tam, 30 miles an hour out of the northeast. Were looking at 72 degrees half moon bay. Well talk about how warm it gets today and when the rain arrives this week, coming up. Thank you, lisa. Good morning, everyone. Im Caroline Tyler. Fire crews are making progress battling the north bay fires. The death toll stands at 40 victims this morning. Officials fear that number will keep growing as more victims are found. It started when the fires broke out last sunday and monday. We want to get the latest going back to Napa County Sheriffs Office for their News Conference. Its a fall day outside in the napa valley, and we are so close to a new normal, and were going to report on that good news. We do not anticipate any more evacuations at this time. I want to assure you, and youll hear from chief biermann that what youre seeing in our ridges, that smoke, the fire crew activities, the air operation activities, its all norm normal. When you see crews up in the air, on the ground, theyre here for you, napa. Theyre taking care of you as we see our way out of this. Were going to ask for your patience. Were going to ask for you to help us communicate with your neighbors, with each other. Were going to continue to monitor the weather. Youre going to continue to see calfire presence, fire crew presence for a while. Theyre not going to depart today, theyre not going to depart tomorrow. Weve got a long road ahead of us, but the day that we had hoped would come one week later, we are here with our atlas fire activity, minimal with our tubbs fire activity on the north side under vigilant watch by calfire and with calfire hitting that nuns fire very, very hard. We are grateful to everyone in napa county for your patience, for adhering and hearing our warnings. We are grateful to all our First Responders, our fire crews, our law enforcement, the California National guard and the help is starting to roll in. At this time, i would invite chief biermann to talk about the updates on the fires. Good morning, Barry Biermann, deputy Barry Biermann, deputy Incident Commander with calfire, team 3 as well as the napa county fire chief. I stated earlier the call went out for help and people poured in from all over. Our incident report continues to grow, allowing us to make significant progress on our fires. I want to thank everyone who assisted. If youre watching from your county, your city, your state and you gave help, thank you. Because it came at the right time and its allowing us to make a great difference. There are so many folks in law enforcement, fire, ems that poured in. The national guard, all the resources that we had access to to give us the technology to help put this fire out, thank you to everyone. Its very much appreciated. Our fire had minimal smoke yesterday, and thats resulted in continuing our containment [ technical difficulties ] well, our microphone seems to be going in and out there at the Napa County Sheriffs Office, but what we have been able to hear secure that fire stays in a box its currently in, and we are very confident that it will remain there. I do want to remind everyone as we continue to assess and evaluate the repopulation plans that go on, and thats occurring for all parts of our you will know there continues to be smoke and fire coming from deep inside this fire. We secure the perimeter. We dont have enough personnel, and in a lot of incidences, its not safe to go inside if you have something thats close to your home thats a threat to your home, call 911. But be advised the stuff thats on the hillside thats in the middle of the burn thats no threat to going outside will continue to burn until the rains come when you have this significant of a fire. If you have any doubt, dont hesitate to call 911 when youre there. Clean up around your property when you can and we will be there to help you when you need it, but we will see smoke around all our fires probably until the seasonending rains come. With that well go to the fire. The nunns fire is our top priority because atlas is looking so good, were putting our energy to the nunns fire on mt. Beater road, up to rutherford as the fire continues to come down the highway 29 corridor. This is all on the west side of highway 29. Really Good Progress going along here. Fires holding really well on the briar creek road area. We have a little area we need to continue to work on. Thats not coming down quite as fast and were getting enough resources we may cut that area out and go direct to that fire and immediate where it is. Were continuing to put a lot of doof dozer lines in along the bottom. We have a secondary line which is going to be farther out in case something gets across there and were not able to pick it up, and we even have additional lines to include the areas around our veterans home, up in montville. Those areas are looking good, looking secure. We are dumping so much water on that mountain to keep things in check, to keep things in control as it got to our control lines. The same things are going on up toward st. Helena. Were putting hand crew in directly and pumping it with engines, and well see Good Progress going on in the west side of the valley as well. At this point i do not see a threat to any communities off this highway 29 corridor. Then our last one is the tubbs fire which is being managed by team 1 on the sonoma side. But it is up on mt. St. Helena. There are areas that continue to burn, however, with regards to the calistoga area which is currently evacuated, were making great progress there. We have good line going in there, continuing to mop up, watching it very closely and do not anticipate, with our current conditions, that it will make it into the town of calistoga. In calistoga, like many other areas, we are continuing to evaluate what the future holds for repopulation when its safe to do so. So all areas in napa county that have been impacted by the fire, it is our priority as soon as getting people out to get them va safely back in. That is being evaluated and well do that as soon as possible. Were making Good Progress there and dont expect that to be too much of a problem. We went out of red flag warning for low humidity and winds and that expired together. Were glad to hear that weather has taken a turn for the better. We still have extremely dry conditions out there. Very low humidities. There is still a chance we could have small fires come out of the fire that we could continue to progressively attack and keep it contained. Were not out of the woods yet but were making tremendous progress out there. I just thank everyone for their help. If you have a loved one, a friend, a family, thank you to everyone who allowed them to come and assist us. Last thing i want to say, again, as part of the fire, if youre flying a drone and were trying to fly our aircraft, we cant fly together and well put our aircraft down, and that could hamper the fire. Keep the drones down. We dont want to see them. Thank you. Good morning, my name is chris childs and im the commander of the napa cph area. As ive attended these morning briefings, i will tell you im very encouraged by what i heard this morning among the cooperation and the reports from Barry Biermann and his outstanding calfire crews. Today indeed is a better day. That being said, road closures that were in effect yesterday are in effect today. Please dont affect our closure lines. Our closure is hoping to get through. Caltrans is working diligently to remove trees, downed power poles, rockslides, boulders that have come down from the mountains. It is quite a process to get our roadways clear and safe again for people to travel on. As a result, there will be no escorts today going up into those affected areas because we have to keep those roadways completely wide open for the crews that are working up there. Weve discussed repopulation briefly. When calfire and other agency heads deem that repopulation is going to happen and the roadways do open, i just want to advise the public that those roadway closures will be lifted for residents only for a period of time to allow people to get in and see their property and get reestablished before we let the general public back in. Finally, i say this often, but i really mean it. We as an agency, as a Highway Patrol family, continues to be grateful for the support and outpouring of love and appreciation to our officers on the line. Theyre doing an outstanding job working around the clock, like everyone else in this fire, and we appreciate the residents of napa county and for what you display to us. Thank you. Its october in in in and that means that its harvest time. We understand that there is the need to access agricultural areas. For those growers who h who questions about gaining agricultural access, please call 7072534501. Thats 7072534501. And our staff will be able to direct you in the right way and we thank our agricultural commissioner for heading up that coordination. Napa, you are so generous, you are so kind, and i was overwhelmed, he was overtaken by seeing rooms of pillows and sections of libraries full with bottled water, and the food that is coming in to all of us here at the eoc at incident command, to our road closure posts, and i ask you to please pace yourselves. We need you. We need you for the long haul. This is not going to be easy for us. I want you to coordinate your generosity. Thats what im asking you to do. Im not asking you to hold off, im asking you lets make sure we keep all our boots on the ground, our crews working for you, lets make sure we keep them safe through Proper Health practices, and if you are interested, youre the public or a restaurant, im going to give you a phone number that you can call for coordination of food. So we need all food to come in through this channel to ensure Health Regulations are followed and to ensure that we are providing healthy meals and that were not inundating our crews with food and that we can minimize waste. That number is 7072268150. And that is the salvation army. The salvation army, we thank them for coordinating our food efforts at our shelters, at incident command, and here, eoc. Were again, pace yourselves. We need that generosity, absolutely. But lets remember that weve got a long road ahead of us, and it all doesnt have to be right now. Next week were still going to need food. Inkind donations are no longer being accepted at shelters. At this time, as you heard, chief biermann and commander childs say were looking toward repopulation. Were going to be shifting those resources into those communities that do need those resources. So im asking at this time no more inkind donations. I am overtaken by the generosity, and its heartwarming. Im so happy to live in this community where you answer the call that wasnt even made to you. I really, really appreciate that. At this time, again, no inkind donations. So you want to help, i get that. 25 gift cards of Major Companies like visa, mastercard, american express, those continue to be accepted at our shelter sites. Make sure you hand she a shelter manager r. Someone at the center for Nonprofit Leadership will make sure those get delivered. Gift cards of 25 increments will continue to be accepted. Monetary donations. We want to make sure we are providing locally for our residents, and we ask that monetary donations come through the Napa Valley Community foundation. We thank the Napa Valley Community foundation for answering the call from the county, from interested parties that want an avenue to be able to donate locally. Those individual assistance will be handed out and handled by the Napa Valley Community association, and that is www. Napavall www. Napavalleycf. Org. We continue to share through our media. We continue to share information through social media, facebook and twitter. We continue to use nixel. Nixel will be used for repopulation as well so dont let up on checking that nixel. If you havent signed up, text your zip code to 888777. We continue to have Information Centers established at our Napa Main Library located at 580 coombs street in napa. Our branches in american kenyon and napville are also serving as communication centers. We will continue to have radio spots through our people standing here with me on kybn, thats 98. 3, throughout the day. Our Public Information line remains. 2534501. At this time i would like to invite up congressman thompson to speak about individual fema assistance. Thank you. As we reported before, fema has approved individual assistance for folks who have sustained damages in this disaster. I would urge people to go on line to thats the best way to get signed up, and there will be presence at the local Assistance Center in the out days, but right now please go on line and register. Thank you. Today, sunday, we will have people appearing on the fm station is 98. 3. Those are the two local stations we will be providing updates through. We will have two Community Meetings today. The first one will be in spanish at 1 00 p. M. At st. John Catholic Church at 960 kama street. We will be streaming this via facebook live. It will be available through social media platforms and we ask if you dont need to come on down, lets avoid those roadways. Tune in facebook live. It will be on the countys website and it will be entirely in spanish. We also have a meeting scheduled at 3 30 p. M. At the Napa Valley Unified School district auditorium. That is located at 2425 jefferson street in napa. Spanish and American Sign Language translation will be available at this location. Also that will be streeamed via facebook, napa valley tv. Well be streaming both as well so there is no need to come on down. This is our last planned press conference. And the reason for that is that we are now switching over towards recovery mode. Its a day i have looked forward to for a week. A week ago this started as a nightmare. And the day weve dreamed of has arrived. And together with your chris canning of calistoga, gallon brea galbreath of napa. With your supervisors diane dillon, district 3. Wayne gregory district 2, alfredo pedroza, district 4 and myself district 5. Were here for you. Its a long road for recovery and i look forward to the day that this can be a distant memory in which we recall that we were resilient and that we got through this together. Be well, napa, and be safe. And so wraps up what they say will be the last press conference by napa county officials held there at the napa county sheriffs department. You heard speaker after speaker use the word progress. They say no more evacuations expected in napa county. They say it will be a long road ahead, but you heard belia ramos, who is a county supervisor there, say, quote, we see our way out of this. They talked about the fires burning there. They said atlas, significant progress has been made there, so now they are turning their attention to the nunns fire. They say that is being hit aggressively. That is the top priority. They are working on dry creek road in that area. They say work there is progressing. As far as the tubbs fire is concerned, they say calistoga is stilley v evacuated but they do feel that town itself is threatened. They are now talking about repopulation, though. That is not yet happening. They did warn people that once that begins, if they continue to see smoke and flames, that they will continue to see that around the perimeter, i guess trying to reassure them that they are on top of that. The chp told people as well that road closures will remain in effect, although they, too, are encouraged by the situation right now. They say quite a process to reopen the roads. They have to remove trees, downed power lines, et cetera, so those roads will remain closed, the ones that already are. They gave out a number of different numbers for people who are concerned, for example, v t vintners, working for the harvest, those who want to help the environment. Pace yourself with your generosity. Gift cards are welcome, food needs to go through the salvation army. All in all, though, they are saying this is the day they have been waiting for. These fires began as just embers one week ago today, sunday night, and now they feel like they are ready to shift into a recovery mode. They will have two more Community Meetings today. One final note, they are asking people to stop flying drones. They say that is interfering with the firefighting effort. All in all, they are thanking people for their resilience. The First Responders for all that they have done, and they are saying that this nightmare seems to be over and they are now by living off the grid. Completely. Or. Set the washing machine to cold. Do your thing. Energy upgrade california. And here is a live look from sky 7 of napa valley. Sky map 7 feature is giving residents of the north bay some valuable information about where many of these fires are burning. You see bella oaks laying there and in the distance you see a lot of white smoke still being put out. When activated, sky map 7 geolocates by streets, the highways and local landmarks. It really is an invaluable tool, not just for those residents of the north bay but for the rest of us, so we can get a clear understanding of where all these fires have been breaking out. Lets check in now with our meteorologist lisa argen with the current weather conditions. Hi there, caroline. Good morning to you. We are looking at temperatures around the bay area warming up quickly with our offshore winds. But those offshore winds also helping some of you with the air quality. We do have a spare the air alert today with the unhealthy air in the north bay. You can see from our east bay hills camera here that we do have the smoke and the particulates in the east bay, north bay and even the santa clara valley. With the smoke pushing offshore yesterday, it was better air quality, and its going to vary through the day. Today were going to see the spare the air alert and probably will continue into tomorrow. Right now the wind gusts are anywhere from 20 to 30 miles an hour in the upper elevations. The red alert warning has been dropping. As we look at our current numbers, youll notice its still cold up in the north bay. 46. We have 60 in san francisco. 63 at half moon bay, 64 in gatos. Well have 80s around the bay at noontime and temperatures about 10 degrees above average in the north bay and south bay. Caroline . Thank you, lisa, and good morning again, everyone. Im Caroline Tyler. Calfire says fire crews are making progress battling those north bay fires. The death toll stands at 40 victims this morning. Officials fear the number will keep growing as more victims are found. Its believed most died shortly after the fires broke out last sunday and monday. Overnight officials in Sonoma County announced they are now going into the burned areas assessing damage. That is the first step to getting people back into their homes or whats left of them. You can see the current number of acres burned and the containment levels for each of the major fires. More than 182,000 acres have burned in the north bay overall. Calfire reports crews expanded many containment lines. Yesterday high winds hurt firefighting efforts in Sonoma County. We have Team Coverage of the north bay wildfires. Abc 7 News ReporterKevin Bernard has been following the fires in the county. Cornell is where fires burned several homes yesterday. Good morning, cornell. What are you seeing today . Reporter evacuation orders still in effect for much of sonoma valley. We can tell you, though, the fire fight is definitely improving, but damage is still being discovered from that fire fight. Take a look. We are off Lovall Valley road where this home is now rubble. Really the only thing intact is a bathroom shower stall, believe it or not. This home is located on a ridge above the town of sonoma. We are told by firefighters that other homes have burned up here, but they could not tell us how many this morning. This area was ground zero for this weekends fire fight. Firefighters battled strong winds on saturday but could not save several homes here on castle road sparked by flying embers. That was a huge culprit overnight. But firefighters were able to stop the spread of the fire before it got to the valley floor, and weather conditions are improving. The fire activity settled down overnight and that gave us a big opportunity to catch up. Reporter and the winds have really died down, too. Is that a big help . Thats huge. With the winds settling down like they are, last night and supposed to be today, thats going to give us a big opportunity to get all of this secure. Reporter yeah, we saw firefighters not far from here dousing hot spots just about an hour ago. Thats off Lovall Valley road. Talked to firefighters, in fact, talked to calfire a few minutes ago. They said fire in this region is now 25 contained. They are optimistic of that number getting even higher because the winds have really died down. And that is a huge saving great for firefighters in this region. Were live in sonoma cornell bernard, abc 7 news. Is there any sign of when that air alert could be lifted . Ive been back and forth with Sonoma County. They say theyre definitely working on it, but they want to make sure the area is safe. Pg e crews, were seeing quite a few of them this morning, theyre going all over the streets trying to restore the power. The power has been out since early, early saturday morning. So the sheriffs department, all they could say is they are working on it. Could it be this afternoon, could it be tomorrow . We may know in a couple of hours. All right. Well look forward to hearing more from you. Thank you, cornell. People who have been displaced and looking for government assistance can go to the building in downtown santa rosa. Veronica miracle is joining us there live. Veronica, what kind of services are they offering folks there . Reporter well, a number of services. Many organizations here all throughout the week. They just opened up about half an hour ago and the line is still all the way down the block. I spoke to one woman who said she got here at 7 00 a. M. And she still was not the first person in line. And thats after she came here yesterday and could not get a spot. So a lot of people here, the majority of fema officials tell me, are here because theyve lost everything. Theyve lost their homes and they have to rebuild from the ground up. I did speak to a number of people who lost their jobs and theyre seeking unemployment, and thats because either the business burned down or the business is still in the mandatory evacuation zone, and they simply cannot work. So once they get inside, there are a number of services that they can take advantage of it, like replacing a drivers license, child care and housing. And one person we spoke to says that although it takes patience, its certainly worth it to go inside. The people here are absolutely outstanding. Theyre helpful. Its a maze in there and they walk you around, make sure youre sat, make sure you have water, make sure you have something to eat. Reporter and officials tell me yesterday they served about 480 people. Theyre hoping the lines will get shorter every single day. But they will be open every day from 9 00 to 7 00 for at least the next two weeks, and theyre urging people to register before you come here so that you have a spot in line. In downtown santa rosa, veronica miracle, abc 7 news. All right, veronica, thank you. This morning a looting suspect is in custody in santa rosa. Police officers patrolling evacuation zones arrested 50yearold anthony happel. Investigators say he stole from people who were forced to leave their homes. Officers searched happel and said they found jewelry, cell phones and other vaubluables. They arrested him near cleveland avenue and Industrial Drive yesterday. Much more ahead on the north bay fires. Here is a live look from sky 7 right now over napa county. You see the smoke still billowing there. This is our exclusive sky map 7 showing you mountain trails laying stern ranch road and pierson road, just some of those areas where fire is still a major concern. Major concern. Lisa argen wil my name is Cynthia Haynes major concern. Lisa argen wil and i am a senior Public Safety specialist for pg e. My job is to help educate our First Responders on how to deal with natural gas and electric emergencies. Everyday when we go to work we want everyone to work safely and come home safely. I live right here in auburn, i absolutely love this community. Once i moved here i didnt want to live anywhere else. I love that people in this community are willing to come together to make a difference for other peoples lives. Together, were building a better california. Welcome back, everyone. Heres a live look at sky 7 in napa county. It is giving residents of napa county valuable information about where many of these fires are burning. You can see right here pierson road, sonoma highway, warm springs road. When activated, sky map 7 geolocates streets, highways and local landmarks. We just heard a short time ago from napa county officials at the sheriffs department, they were saying they were holding their last press conference because they are breathing a sigh of relief. They believe that the worst is over. The weather has really cooperated with the firefighting efforts, so much so that the atlas fire they are no longer really worried about. They made significant process there. The nuns fire, they say, is now their top priority and theyre throwing resources into that. The tubbs fire as well, but they dont feel that the town of calistoga is threatened, although the evacuations there are still in place. There are no new evacuations expected in napa county. They say, as one of the county supervisors was saying, the nightmare seems to be over and they are now moving into a recovery mode. A nineyearold whose home burned down in santa rosa wrote a heartbreaking letter to the oakland as. Lauren jade smith wrote, i love watching your as games. I want to be an as player and i play at Mark West Little League in santa rosa. I played baseball in my backyard all day, loving the as and making up my own game. In my backyard they won six world series in a row. But my house burned down in the santa rosa fire, and my best things were my oakland as baseball cards, a baseball from the game and also a ball signed by the entire team, the whole team, and Ricky Henderson and bob malvin. Im nine years old and i had a major league baseball, and it all burned up. So sad. I know youre not all together, but i hope you get this. What do you think, lisa . They probably will try to do something about that. Nice to see some good news. Some good weather news, in fact, were looking at rain for the rest of the week. Were at a roof camera. 66 degrees in san francisco, 73 half moon bay. We have an offshore wind all day today, also toecmorrow, and thas going to keep the temperatures way above average. Ill talk about that rain in just a few minutes. Thank you, lisa. Also heres a live look again from sky 7 of the sky 7 map feature giving residents of napa an idea of where those welcome back, everyone. It is 9 44 on this sunday morning. We are bringing you a live look now from sky 7 and our sky map 7 showing you Sonoma County and where some of the fire, you see there pierson road and sonoma highway where there is smoke still billowing. This feature allows you to see the streets, the highways, the byways where the fires are burning, and it gives information to folks who are really wondering whats going on with their homes where they live, whats happening there in terms of the fires burning. You can pinpoint it by looking at sky map 7. Well, the worst is over for napa county. Officials say they do not anticipate any more evacuations from the wildfires. We brought you their latest news Conference Live less than half an hour ago. The fire chief said officials are working on a plan to let let evacuees return to their homes as firefighters continue to put out the flames. As we let you back in, you need to know there is smoke that will continue to come out from the perimeter of this fire. Its not safe enough to even go inside to put out the stuff. As you go back to your homes and you start recovering, and you see smoke thats around there, if you have something thats close to your home thats a threat to your home, call 911. First responders are still on high alert. Napa county Officials Say the dry conditions and low humidity could fuel small fires. The wildfires caused major destruction in Sonoma County where at least 20 people died. Abc 7 News Reporter cornell bernard is on Lovall Valley road, and cornell, you watched homes in that neighborhood burn to the ground yesterday. What do you see thats left in the area right now . Reporter yeah, caroline, before we get to that, we can tell you that for the first time in a long time, were seeing blue sky. Firefighters very happy about that. That means the weather conditions are improving and so is the air quality. But we are seeing scenes like this. We are off Lovall Valley road where this home is now rubble. The only thing intact is the bathroom shower closure that jacob is going to show you right there. This home is located on a ridge above the town of sonoma. We talked to firefighters a short time ago. They say other fires other homes have been damaged or destroyed in this area, but they co could not tell us how many. Firefighters have battled strong winds, lots of burning embers, and that caught several houses on fire off castle road. Thats about four or five miles from where we are right now. They were sparked by flying embers. Firefighters were able to stop the spread of the fire before it got to the valley floor. They hit it hard with air drops, with ground crews, and like i said, the weather is definitely changing. Today winds have died down completely. That is very good news in this ongoing fire fight. Firefighters say the fire appeared now 25 contained. Live in Sonoma County, cornell bernard, abc 7 news. Good morning, everyone. You can see how hazy it is from our east bay hills camera, although the air quality, like cornell said, is significantly better in parts of the bay area. Still a spare the air alert, and we will be looking at some big time changes this week that involve rain and much, much cooler temperatures. But first things first. Things are still warm and dry throughout the day today, as much as 10 degrees above average, and tomorrow well peak in the warmth. Well see temperatures even warmer, possibly around 90 degrees at our warmest locations. Then by thursday and friday, rain arrives. Well have some slippery pavement for your thursday morning commute. Should be out of here in time for the weekend. Well talk amounts in just a moment, but as we look outside mt. Tam, still pretty breezy on the ridgetops here. About 2,000 feet. Were still looking at winds gusting to 30 miles an hour. Heres live doppler 7. Heres the systems that are going to link up at the end of the week. This one and that one will bring us our rain. You can see the wind blowing here from the eastsoutheast, and that is allowing for half moon bay, pacifica and the coast to be well above average. 65 in san francisco, 55 in mountain view. From emeryville, looks pretty nice out there, but check out santa rosa at 46 degrees. 64 novato, concord 66, 53. I want to show you the humidity, how we track it throughout the day. We get the highest relative humidity in the morning hours. Looking at it now, it doesnt look too good, does it . 25 in napa, 22 in concord. As we go through the warmest part of the day, 4 00 in the afternoon, were down to 9 in santa rosa, 8 in cloverdale. Do we regain it overnight . A little bit but not too much. Its a dry time of year so were certainly watching the winds here in the north bay where were looking at them dial back throughout the day. This is 11 00 tonight. Good to see some calm winds up here, and as we go through tomorrow, still not looking at a lot of wind but we are looking at the direction offshore, and it wont be until the middle of the week when we see it change, but when we do, it will be a significant change. Bring in our storm impact scale. A 1 arriving thursday and friday. That means higher relative humidity. With all the oils on the pavement here, we are going to see some slippery roads for the first time in the season here as the rain arrives thursday. Taking us through friday morning, even some snow in the sierra, and early estimates look to be anywhere from about a quarter of an inch in san francisco, perhaps a third of an inch in richmond, and look at that, oakland may be. 4. Always hard to gauge when its the first system, but in the north bay well see more than that, perhaps half an inch. As for today its back to summer. Were talking 82 today in oakland, 84 on the peninsula. Palo alto and fremont, and numbers really should be in the mid to upper 70s for this time of year in the south bay. But look at your 88 today in san jose. A warm one for you. 87 in santa rosa and those Winds Continuing to be calm today, but really from that offshore component, tomorrow as well. That keeps us so warm. Then as we get into tuesday and wednesday, things turn a little bit more towards normal for this time of year, which is an onshore push bringing the cooler weather temperatures near average, and then that rain thursdayfriday. Were all looking forward to that. I know it might do a number on the charred debris and ashes, but on the other hand, it might help keeping those embers down, any hot spots and the fires themselves.
