County working to bring you the latest on the fire. We start with lisa who is watching the winds. Good morning. Were looking at temperatures in the 60s and 70s around the bay area. The relative humidity dangerously bone dry at 11 . It will continue to get drier as these winds continue to gust throughout the Morning Hours. Were not going to see them let up until after about 12 00. Theyre gusting to 37 Miles Per Hour. With the breezy winds, High Pressure, the heat from yesterday, 60s and 70s everywhere. 77 Half Moon Bay. Cooler in the east bay. We are looking at the relative humidity everywhere right now low. 11 in napa. 22 in vallejo. As we go through the next several hours, it gets lower. 1 00, 7 . Lake berryessa, cloverdale. But its not until late in the day where we continue to see not only the winds dial back but the relative humidity. It wont come up for another 24 hours. Here we are into early friday. Getting to 40 in oakland. Still dry in the north bay. Here is the fire danger index. This follows the wind flow. The gustiest winds is where you see the colors. The yellow and the red through the early afternoon. Back to you. Thank you. Well continue checking in with you and of course continue to cover this breaking news of the kincaid fire. Amy hollyfield is live in healdsburg near the fire lines. Good morning. Good morning. Look behind me at this fire. Theres so much smoke that we think that that is what is blocking our view now. It was so lit up earlier if you saw my earlier reports. Now we dont see as much of the orange glow. But there is so much smoke. Heres video of what it looked like earlier. Whats been so challenging out here for firefighters is the wind and the shifting directions of the wind. Im told that at one point it was on one mountaintop. They had to shift resources to chase it to another mountaintop. This thing is just raging out of control. We talked to some people who are keeping an eye on it. Some residents trying to decide what to do, if they need to evacuate. We talked to one man from wndsor who was standing here and watching it from a safe distance with us. Said almost, Pretty Amazing but sad. My folks lost their house in the fire. I had a lot of friends who lost their houses in coffee park. Just wanted to get out and check it out. The fire from 2017 so on everyones minds this morning as we watch this fire burn. Look at this video from geyser road as the photographer drove down this road and shot video very close up. It shows you how intense this fire is. Firefighters say so many challenges for them. The wind, of course, also its dark, difficult for them to see what theyre dealing with and also difficult to get to. Not a lot of roads leading into that area. Rugged, steep terrain. So theyre looking forward to daylight to see what theyre dealing with, hoping to combat this and get aircraft up so they can get a better view and attack it from above. Everyone on red winery road, all of alexander road, highway 128 from geyser road to river road including the casino, and the fire appears to be moving towards the casino. It is moving towards the town of geyserville but not close to the town. Right now just burning in a rural area. People do appear to be safe from what we can tell. Again, though, this is burning out of control in the dark. Firefighters will have a better handle on that around 7 30 this morning when they can actually see better. Reporting live from a safe distance on Alexander Valley road in healdsburg, you can still see it, im Amy Hollyfield. Back to you. Thank you. Well continue checking in with you throughout the morning. The wildfire is prompting evacuations as amy was talking about. Lets look at the areas under evacuation. Red winery road, Alexander Mountain road and highway 128 from geysers road to red river rode. And the river rocca seen n we also have two Community Centers set up. Laura martinez was at the windsor Evacuation Center bess than an hour ago. We know you moved to the healdsburg Evacuation Center. Is it busier there . There are more people in the parking lot. You can see a couple people brought their dogs here. I see more people than the handful at Windsor High School. If you are under an Evacuation Order you are encouraged to go to Windsor High School or here at the Healdsburg Community center. Its a place to rest, to sleep. They have chargers for your devices. Theres water. We spoke with the healdsburg mayor moments ago. He says theres no current threat to the community of healdsburg, but he cant exactly talk on the unincorporated areas. Heres what he said just moments ago. Right now the city of healdsburg is not impacted. When i say the city of healdsburg, within the city limits, not the unincorporated area. There are evacuation notices north of us. We at the city are prepared. I think thats the message that needs to go out that we as a city are prepared for people to come here to our emergency Evacuation Center. If you have small pets, you can bring them here to the Healdsburg Community center or. They have an Animal Services trailer there. Thats something that they learned from a couple years ago is access for your small animals. If you have large animals, you can take them to the santa rosa fair grounds. Im Lauren Martinez, abc7 news. Thank you for that update. We are sending out breaking news push alerts on the app as this fire develops, and updating our website, abc7news. Com. Pg e cut the power to more customers overnight because of the wildfire danger. The latest outage began at 1 00 a. M. In San Mateo County. At its peak 1,000 customers in la honda, woodside and unincorporated san mateo were impacted. Close to 28,000 pg e customers in sonoma are in the outage zone. The impacted cities include annapolis, cloverdale, fulton, guyserville, glen ellen, guernville, lockfield, center santa rosa, windsor and stewarts point. Its important to let you know the kinkaide fire is burning near guyserville. 7,000 customers are in the zone. Now a closer look at one napa county city without power. Pal stowing ga, deerpark, oakville, st. Helena. This morning power was shut off in la honda and San Mateo County. Gerard powell lives in the community, he says the anxiety and stress of the last round of blackouts put one of his neighbors in the hospital. Suddenly found himself in a medical emergency due to the stress of the uncertainty of what was going to happen. Whether he could get his medications. Pg e has no estimation on when the power will be turned back on. Two weeks ago some people had to wait 44 hours. I mentioned calistoga a moment ago. Well look at whats happening there. Part of the city is in the dark, thats leading some people to frustration. Many neighborhoods have no power, but some restaane the lights on. If youre wondering why, thats because pg e generators are powering portions of the city. Some people who live minutes away dont have any power. To shut the power off is not the solution. Two weeks ago they shut the power off on the anniversary of the fire. That was like a big slap in the face to everybody that lost their homes. So now people that we are speaking with say theyre confused over who gets to have power and who is left in the dar dark. From the live desk, im monitoring the power outage map on pg es website. Pg e says this is where you can find areas without power. Look at this. Across the top here, the fifth tab says plic safety power shutoff. Those are the pink icons. You can see that impacted area. If you tap it, it will show you how many customers are affected. Right now it says 79. It will give the cause, status and when it was last updated. So 5 16 p. M. Yesterday. If you go to another tab here, this is on the website as well. You can put in your physical address if you want to get more information on the location of the outage. How you get to that, i will back it up, you start at the Public Safety power shutoff pain, click check your address, and you will go from there. Thats at the event center. If you have trouble getting to this because it can be difficult to navigate these websites, we have links to all of this on our website, abc7news. Com. Back over to you. Ill take it. We have our red flag warning in effect throughout the bay area. And this is until 4 00 in the afternoon. When the fire broke out last night, they had winds clocked at 70 Miles Per Hour up in Sonoma County. So the good news is that by later on this afternoon, id say about 12 00, 1 00, the winds will continue to decrease. Between now and then the atmosphere continues to dry out. Here is the fire danger index. The winds are really strong. Drying out the atmosphere. This is where it follows that we have the highest fire danger. Through sonoma, cloverdale, clear lake, napa. Look what happens after 1 00. The colors get more mellow. Were looking at better conditions. You can see the camera shaking. 67 degrees in San Francisco. 70 in redwood city. 75 at the coast. Half moon bay, the winds blowing from the land to the sea. Thats why its so warm out there along the coast. Cooler in the inland val the forecast today calling for 90 degrees in San Francisco for the high. 80s at the coast. Very little change out there.

Sunny, warm and hot today and tomorrow. We could see 90 in San Francisco, upper 80s at the coast. 92 santa rosa. 89 in fremont. Going to through the evening hours, not a lot of change.

Pg e removed a pole residents of the rossmore Senior Community were bothered by for years. They say it was a perpetual fire starter. Squirrels are thought to have caused the last five fires. Sky7 was up as the brandnew poll went into place. This one has covers over Electrical Conductors to stop the freak fires. The sam jose mayor is proposing a plan to strip pg e of its status as an investorowned company and turn it into a nonprofit customerowned cooperative. Customerowned utilities dont have to pay federal taxes, they dont have to pay shareholder dividends. They can Access Capital at a much lower cost. That will be critical in the years ahead.

We couldnt believe our eyes as we watched video of this fire. He said one challenge hes noticed is just how it keeps changing direction. Theres so much wind and it is shifting. So it was headed one way, then he said suddenly it shifted, it went a different direction. Firefighters had to pull resources off one mountaintop and race over to the next one. This thing is raging out of controls. Firefighters are putting it now at 10,000 acres. I will not be surprised when that number grows. Were watching the fire explode as we stand here on Alexander Valley road. It is huge. At one point lighting up the entire sky. Residents that we talked to cant stop thinking about the fires from two years ago and now saying here we go again. Its reminis of 2017. Its closer. Its worrisome.

Bill noyes asked about the risks. This year were replacing 100 miles with covered wire. Next year we have about 700 miles. That leaves, you know, 24,000 miles uncovered for the years to come. Are you speeding up that process . We are. 150 miles this year. 750 the next year. Were also doing it in the highest risk areas. The system is huge. 70,000 square miles with tens and tens of thousands of wires, miles of wires. Its a huge undertaking. It will take some time.

Amy hollyfield was there and saw this herself. The chp is telling us all their resources are being devoted to the fire. Theyre not focused on reopening this road any time soon. Also roads east of 101 in that area are impacted by the fire as well. Your alternate would be 101. But nothing east of that. And if you want to get some perspective as to where this is, if youre familiar with the area, its near river rock casino. Thats the biggest landmark i can point to. Be mindful if you live in the north bay this is a part of your morning commute, this we continue to follow breaking news in Sonoma County. Cal fire says a rapidly growing fire has grown to 10,000 acres in guisersville. 600 residents have been evacuated. 200 more are under advisory evacuation.

Were in the midst of a strong offshore wind event. Heres the big picture where High Pressure has just built in to the eastern pacific. We have an area of low pressure to the east of us. That will allow for dugusty win. 67 in San Francisco. 68 in oakland. 75 in Half Moon Bay. Wind gusts or 30 Miles Per Hour at the coast. Most of the winds are in the upper elevations. Thats where the atmosphere is bone dry down to about 7 in some areas. 71 in santa rosa. 72 by the delta. Napa, concord and livermore for a change, the coolest locations in the 60s. 11 relative humidity in napa. Santa rosa 14 . Notice the east bay, the south bay, a little bit better. Its because your winds are not as dry. Theyre still out of the north and east. Thats continuing through the Morning Hours. Look at this 43mileperhour wind gust. This is in and around where the fire is. 7 00. Were still looking at winds for 25 to 40 Miles Per Hour with the red flag warning through noontime. As we get through 9 00, its still gusty, 20 to 35 Miles Per Hour, lighter to the south and east. Its after 12 00 that we see winds begin to dial back. At that point our relative humidity will be at about 5 . Temperatures will be in the 80s to 90s as we get into the afternoon. When will things turn around. We get a slight onshore push tomorrow. Its not really until the weekend. The second half of the weekend well see more gusty winds and another offshore event. Mild to dry this morning. High fire danger through today. Sunny and warm the next two days. Heres sat. Still in the upper 80s. We have 70s and back to 60s in San Francisco. Sunday, you think this looks like the good trend that we want. We are getting the cooler conditions. This next offshore wind event will be stronger. It will be more widespread. And thats looking likely by saturday night into sunday. Look at the heat today, tomorrow and here comes a little bit of cooling into the weekend. Jobina . I was view of the sigalert, this is 121 between geyserville avenue and pain fline flat road.
