The pilots had to use night vision goggles sunday night as daylight escaped and visibility became worse.

You need to be prepared to evacuate rather quickly if it happens. Temperatures in the 60s down in the south bay and 62 to 66 and in the 50s and 60s unless youre up in the hills or out on highway 4 in northern contra costa county. Youre in the 70s and 80s.

There seems to be a high demand and a massive shortage of used cars during the pandemic. A lot of people are buying up used cars right now so they can avoid taking public transportation.

I know all of its quirks and all of its problems and it is going to end with me. All right. Lets talk about what is going on. Yes, were going to end this streak of unhealthy weather during this sevenday forecast. But not today. Unfortunately. It is getting undercut just a little bit at the golden gate bridge. West wind at 12 and that means places like the coast are going to be spared by the unrelenting heat today. And the breezy and unhealthy air quality will sit there and the fire danger will continue with wi widespread temperatures. And a seasonal forecast and trending quite different for the weekend. All right. High pressure clockwise flow to our west. Low pressure counterclockwise flow to our east. The Pressure Gradient between those two is increasing and its pushing those northeasterly offshore flow and thats what we were worried about as we head into autumn. We get the off shore wind events and heightens the fire danger and keeps our heat up. 92 to 102 in the south bay. Look at the upper 70s and thats pretty comfortable along the coast. Mid to upper 80s sausalito and upper 90s to low 100s through the north bay valleys and 70s at your beaches and upper 80s in richmond and berkeley and everybody else in the low to mid 90s along the east bay shore and inland no 110s or 119s but still 100 to 106 in our east bay valleys. Tonight temperatures in the 50s and 60s where most of us live. Above 1,000 feet, though. 70s and 80s. All right. Heres my accuweather sevenday forecast. Our 23rd consecutive and record setting spare the air alert tomorrow. The winds will relax. The heat will ease a little bit at 70s and 80s and 90s come in our forecast and then from thursday through the rest of the forecast, 60s at the coast. 70s to a few 80s around the bay. And mainly 80s inland. The 90s will be the exception come thursday. So, keep thursday in the back of your mind. Everything changes then for the better. Lets get back to you guys for more news.

I know this is not what some people want to hear, but we have reports coming in that say deep cleaning and disinfecting may not protect you from covid19. So, here are the details. The cdc says its a long shot that you can get the virus from a door knob or a package. Scientists say surfaces arent the problem. And that sanitizing gives people a false sense of security. However, big however here, disinfectanting surfaces is a good habit to keep because it can prevent other viruses like stomach viruses which can then lead to the stomach flu. The level of cleaning being done right now because of the pandemic is probably showing people just how much they werent cleaning before, julian. Kind of gross. Aint that the truth. Put some extra elbow grease in there and do the cleaning. Thank you, jobina. Single mother of four in florida say her kids Lemonade Stand is the familys only source of income.

On a serious note, guys. It will be fun to watch that. We definitely need it. But, lets talk aboutthe trifecta were dealing with. Extreme heat and unhealthy air quality and a fire threat. Well start with the winds picking up across the north bay and also look at mt. Diablo 55 mile per homileperhour winds. These are conditions conducive to fire starting and spreading rather rapidly especially now through 11 00 and especially across the north bay and around mt. Diablo. Winds pretty fast up there and that goes through 11 00. Winds will back off a little bit but fire threat extended through 8 00 tomorrow morning and it does include more areas like the east bay hills and diablo hills and santa cruz mountains. We need to be vigilant today and also prepared in case something does spark and start. It will move rapidly and youre going to have to evacuate. Have that bag by the door. You will be exiting to get in your car and go, if needed. Thats what we have to plan for today. And thats just so sad. Temperatures 70s at the coast. 80s in San Francisco and 90 around the bay and even some 100s inland but that may be the last of the 100s and 90s go away for a few days. Ill show you that. The north bay, the high winds are fanning those flames of the walbridge fire which is part of the lnu lightning complex. Overnight new evacuations were issued for people in Sonoma County who live south of mill creek road west of west side road. Ab abc,7 new News ReporterAmy Hollyfield is live with that and the power shutoffs in napa and sonoma. Amy . Kumasi, we just got confirmation from pg e that overnight about 5,000 customers here in napa county and 17,000 in Sonoma County did have their power shut off. Pg e says it is doing this to be safe. They are worried about the weather conditions. They say its forecast to be dry and windy. They call that critical fire weather with a high ignition risk. They are afraid a power line could fall and start a fire. Pg e says that while this weather calls for being on high alert, it is not like the weather we saw in 2017 when the tubbs fire happened. This event doesnt have quite as much what we call as meteorologists upper level support with it. So, we dont anticipate it being as strong. Officials are also watching the walbridge fire. It jumped a containment area in the Russian River east of gurnville. Evacuations ordered there. They are just hoping the wind conditions dont pick up. 30 to 40 acres burned near hacienda yesterday. Everyone that was warned about the Public Safety public shutoffs have had their power shutoff except for those in kern county and pg e tells us the power will be shut down for them around 2 00 this afternoon and they are saying once the weather conditions improve, then they will head out and they will inspect all their lines to see if any damage was done. That should take about 12 hours and then they would be able to start rolling that power back on. Reporting live in napa county, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. All right, thank you, amy. Now, we want to tell you about the latest in the creek fire. Rescue operations near fresno under way right now. Jobina is at the live desk with the new developments we get within the last couple hours. A positive update here. Absolutely, julian. Yes, cal fire has rescued 13 people who were trapped on china peak. That happened just after 3 00 this morning. Cal fire says the smoke cleared up enough overnight for a helicopter to land safely. Originally, officials thought there were 14 people trapped but that was not the case. Those 13 people were safe and taken to the fresno airport and right now two other rescue operations were under way. Other helicopters in the air and National Helicopter to reach hidden lake and also another search and rescue bird from i believe the navy trying to get into lake edison. Deputy lake or excuse me deputy Nick Schuller said on gma this morning he hopes they have turned a corner here. Record high heat also low humidity and strong winds are making their containment very difficult for them, kumasi. Thank you, jobina.

This eerie video from the valley floor shows the orange sky over half dome. This was taken by visitors who ended up cutting their trip short because of the poor air quality.

Well figure this out. You bet. Im here for you. Perks of the job. Also for you. Any time you need me. Lets talk about what is going on with the winds. I want to show you what is going on at 7 00. The winds are picking up as we speak. Hour and a half little more than that into this wind advisory and the north bay and diablo range and slow down just a little bit because the air is going to expand as it gets warmer this afternoon. But then look what happens once the sun sets and we compress that air and the winds are going to be even faster during the evening and early overnight hours for a look for the fire danger to increase then and then we wake up tomorrow morning and its just about over. Heres a look at the fire danger index and notice watch for the orsxnge f orange and the red. Thats the high extreme. Thats where we can see the stuff that amy talked about. The trifecta of the conditions coming together and look at that as we it heads to the evening hours contra costa and alameda and santa clara and quickly retreats back to the north as we head into the evening hours and you can see even during the overnight hours, that starts to shrink a little bit as the winds start to subside. So, weve got really today and tonight. And then things will start to calm down tomorrow. Across the board, look at these temperatures. Were up to 13 degrees cooler this morning. When you step outside relatively clean air and temperatures in the mid to upper 50s in San Francisco and pretty much 50s and 60s else where and 82 right now in antioch look in fairfield and quite a range this morning. Well talk about the dangerous heat subsiding and also coming up in the forecast. Cant wait to get to that. Thank you, mike. I have a few things im covering right now on our roads. Well start off with a look at our sig alert i was following. Just passed the caldecott tunnel. Traveling westbound out of lafayette and try to make your way through orinda and into oakland youll run into a thick backup there and speeds are still down to 8 and 10 miles per hour. We will first begin with live cameras in emeryville because there is a crash before university. Three cars involved there. One lane is blocked. You can see its definitely busy. All those headlights making their way further to the toll plaza and as we take a live look there. The metering lights came on at 5 36 this morning and you will experience quite a bit of bridge traffic once you make it through those lanes. Much smoother but semi slow ride into San Francisco this morning. Kumasi and julian. All right, stacking up there. Thank you, jobina. This morning a back to school speed bump for one bay area School District. One Elementary School was supposed to bring students to class today until a staff member tested positive for covid19.

You can see already 70s, 80s and 90s by noon. 60s at the coast to 70 while the rest of us are in the 90s and 100s for the most part at 4 00 and still in the 60s, 70s and 80s at 8 00. The air quality you can see is green, good, or yellow, moderate. Those are all of our neighborhoods and, however, plenty of smoke to our east and that will keep us in the record 22nd today and 23rd tomorrow consecutive spare the air alert. Heres a look at your smoke forecast. You can see it sitting right on top of us this morning. Even a little thicker up across the north bay. But look at those off shore winds blowing a lot of the smoke away from us as we head throughout the day. The closer you are to the north bay and north bay coast the more likely you will be smoky today. Look how the winds tomorrow start to draw it up and stays mainly in the Central Valley and along the coast. And then look at that. By wednesday evening, were starting to see some much cleaner air compared to what we have been dealing with on the way. That will only get better and ill show you that coming up in the sevenday forecast. Kumasi . Thank you, mike.

And people online are searching for newly confirmed images of the next xbox console. So, check it out. Microsoft just confirmed that the xbox series s. Its smaller and less expensive and 299 bucks which is 200 less than the xbox 1. This new version is expected to drop in november. All right, now, lets take another look at the New York Stock Exchange as trading gets under way this morning. We are still down dropping more than where we were before at this point down 550 points. Time check now, 6 49. And checking in with mike. All right. Thank you very much, kumasi. Im going to start with the golden gate and show you why the coast is more comfortable today. We have a little bit of a marine layer there and holding the coast right now. But as the winds increase today and blow from northeast to southwest, its going to blow the marine layer away and that will help you warm into the upper 70s, again. Enjoy those 50s and a little bit of fog you have this morning. Dry and breezy. Today heat lingers and so does the poor air quality and fire danger through tomorrow and then an average autumn is going to be in the rest of the forecast. We have High Pressure building to our northwest. To our southeast weve got an area of low pressure developing and that is the Pressure Gradient between the two and the flow creating this offshore event. That is what happens this time of year and the fire season heightens and especially during september and october. Look what its doing. This first touch of autumn 93 yesterday in denver and theyre expecting half a foot of snow. Can you imagine going from 93 to snow . Thats impressive. All right. Were still impressively hot, unfortunately in the north bay. On the peninsula, 89 to 93 today. Temperatures along the coast, look at those 70s but we still have the 80s along San Francisco, downtown or i should say south San Francisco and sausalito. 95 to 102 through the north bay valleys. But 70s at your coast. Upper 80s for richmond and berkeley and everybody else in the low to mid 90s along the east bay shore and inland not in the 100 and teens were still in the 100s today. Tonight well have 50s and 60s in the valleys. 70s and 80s especially in the hills and the mountains of the north bay. Talk about your microclimates even during the overnight hour. All right. Lets talk about what is going to happen tomorrow. Another spare the air. The 23rd. But the red flag warning is supposed to expire tomorrow and the winds will relax and that will relax the heat just a little bit. The marine layer returns thursday. Really feels nice. 60s and 70s for the bay and for the coast but still some 80s and barely some 90s inland and then if you look at friday through the rest of the forecast, were talking about 60s at the coast and 70s around the bay and 80s to just a spripglinkling of 90s. Until then be vigilant. Dangerous heat, dangerous fire conditions. Thank you, mike. He is back in the ball room.
