So you thought we were already dry with a very paltry lastseason rainfall, which was about half of what we should get and then the dry fuels with the very hot august and september and then on top of that, very dry offshore winds, blowing fast, not only in the upper elevations but at the surface beginning about 11 00, upper elevations tomorrow. As we look at live doppler 7 right now. Here is the fog. Its mainly in the north bay. A little bit along the coast. Its 54 in arin da. 58 in hayward. That doesnt sound too bad but 40s up in the north bay, napa, santa rosa with the fog, 50 in novato. Pacifica is at 53 and a live look outside, you can see the clouds here in San Francisco. And temperatures will be seasonal throughout the bay area today, but the winds getting stronger. By tomorrow afternoon theyll be getting quite gusty. Were going to have two bursts of offshore winds as we get into tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening and then again monday afternoon so we could even extend the red flag warning. And looking at the cold mornings throughout next week and warmer afternoons with 80degree temperatures returning. Heres a look at that fog. As we go through the rest of your saturday, there it is along the marin county coast, a little bit the san mateo coast, in the afternoon well have a lot of sun in the east bay valleys and partly cloudy skies, closer to san mateo, redwood city, up in the north bay, point rays, looking at partly cloudy conditions. Theres fog at the coast, thats important because of relative humidity thats higher there. Well bring in the wind, come 1 00 tomorrow, starts in the upper elevations of the north bay, it spreads here to the diablo range and then across the entire bay, 11 00 sunday night into early monday, look at the winds, purples here into 6 00 theyll ease and then another burst of wind. You saw the winds there. Relative humidity at 5 00 tomorrow, anywhere from 20 to 60 to 90 along the coast. Were already dry in our inland valleys and the winds sweep across the bay area and even more dry air comes into play here with very little no recovery at all, overnight sunday into monday, about 8 , napa, fairfield, gets even lower. Look at this, petaluma, 9 , 18 by the bay in hayward. Its going to stay that way, theres our other burst of wind monday afternoon, fire danger index exemplifies the fire risk in colors here, starting in the north bay again, and in through the afternoon, it gets stronger through the diablo range, and right even into the Santa Cruz Mountains so really even San Francisco the city will get some very gusty winds, 20 to 40 mile an hour winds later sunday. Its a strong wind event. Youve heard the statistics, watching it kafl carefully, no rain through next week into next weekend and even looks like through about november 8th or 9th, still staying dry. 71 in fremont today. 70 san rafael. 64 San Francisco, 60 along the coast so it will feel very falllike today. The accuweather sevenday forecast, dry and gusty winds throughout tomorrow in the upper elevations early, about 11 00. And then developing maybe 4 00 in the afternoon. I think the strongest winds are getting going 6 00, 7 00 on sunday afternoon, lasting until about 11 00 at night and then theyll ease up and then the second burst of wind, liz, and so the fires from 2017 and 2019, a lot of those started midnight, sunday night.

Welcome back, californias Unemployment Agency has been battling a wave of unemployment fraud by cutting payments to suspected scammers. However, legitimate claims are now getting swept into the crackdown. Many people are coming to 7 on your side for help and Michael Finney has been covering this issue for months. He has more on this latest problem. Im hearing from unemployed workers about an edd problem. That seems to occur frequently. They go to use their debit card and it doesnt work. All of a sudden, literally just this weekend, the money got taken away. They froze my account and took my money. Reporter anthony lost his job at lucky strike Bowling Alley when the pandemic shut it down. Hed been collecting unemployment ever since, until the edd took it back again. And the really weird thing is i didnt get informed about any of this. Reporter anthony discovered something was wrong when he tried to pull 20 off his edd debit card. It was blocked. Then i talked to the bank, and they were like, oh, we cant help you, thats an edd card. You have to call edd services. Reporter but no one at the edd could explain why his account was frozen. I was like, okay, so how come my cards frozen, you know, bank of america says only edd can do that, and then they said no, bank of america can do that, actually, and it just went back and forth. Reporter eventually the bank did unfreeze his account. Look what happened to his money. It went back to the edd, one payment at a time until all his money was gone. It was exactly 10,000, in different increments but it all added up to 10,000. Reporter anthony contacted edd and the bank. They both say theres no problem with my card. And so since theres no problem they couldnt help me but i was like clearly theres a problem if im missing 10,000. Reporter anthony believes his account was flagged by the edd for fraud because a scammer stole money off his card several months ago. The bank did replace the fraudulent withdrawals and he thought the problem was fixed, until now. He wants his money back. I pay taxes and i work, and its not fair to me at all. Reporter he contacted 7 on your side and we reached out to the edd, and state senator scott wiener who represents his district. Within days all that missing money popped back in to anthonys account. The edd did not explain what happened, but in a statement it said edd currently knows of 350,000 debit cards that have been frozen due to various fraud indicators. The departments top priority is to quickly verify the identity of any claimants that may have been impacted by scammer attacks. While we shut down potential fraudulent claims. It makes me think that, like, if i didnt reach out to you or i didnt speak to anyone else i would have never seen the money again. Reporter the edd is doing all it can to keep from shutting down legitimate accounts while fighting fraud. If this happens to you, let me know about it here at abc 7.

I hope you have a great weekend. Im casey pratt. And we are tracking those red flag warnings so were going to get back over to lisa. Starting tomorrow night, lisa, is that right . Yeah, in the hills its 11 00 tomorrow morning and those winds will get going at about 4 00 in the afternoon. On sunday. Right now, live doppler 7, there is fog here up in the north bay, also a little bit along the coast. But were going to look outside right now. Into the east bay where you see the clear sky, and temperatures are mainly in the 50s. Some upper 40s, though, look at that mountain view. 48, good morning, San Francisco, 54, 56 in oakland, it is 49 in gilroy. 50 at the coast. Our exploratorium camera, clouds in the city with upper 40s, santa rosa, 52 in novato, 47 in napa. Thats where the fog has been, the three cities in the north bay, 52 in concord, and from our east bay hills camera, pretty neat view here, theres some of the fog and also right over the city. So looking at the winds, ramping up for your sunday afternoon, theyll be strong and gusty through tuesday, two bursts of winds coming in, first tomorrow, and then monday afternoon into monday night. And looking at those colder mornings after that. But the temperatures are going to warm back up into the 80s, into that last final week of october. Heres our fog this morning, throughout the day today. It begins to pull back to the coast. So were in to a partly cloudy sky along the shoreline. And then mostly sunny throughout the afternoon. And then notice by about 7 00, the fog moving back in. Increasing our relative humidity. Thats good because by 10 00 tomorrow, the winds are going to start getting going, up in the north bay hills. Those north easterly winds first and sliding down to the diablo range, and pushing across the entire bay area, even the Santa Cruz Mountains. Strong winds 6 00, 7 00 sunday evening, but continue through about 11 00. Then theyre going to get a little bit weaker. And then theyre going to get stronger again. So as we look at 6 00 monday morning, look at the purples here, some of those very gusty winds initiating the driest air that we have seen. Weve been dry. We have had the hot weather, and as the winds come into play, it sweeps off any available coastal moisture that weve had, due to the low clouds and fog. So were at 1 00 monday morning, single digit relative humidity here, and dropping to about 19 , 20 over in oakland. The winds will continue to push through the bay area, offshore. Monday night. So that means we could see a red flag warning continuing for some areas through tuesday. So its about a two, threeday event, and today, hopefully youre preparing for that. With certainly checking things out, outdoors. And a lot of you wont have any power. So hopefully you have a plan for that as well. Today, 60s and 70s out there. With partly cloudy to mostly sunny conditions. Near average, 73 for you in concord. Look for 70 in palo alto with onshore winds. The dry and gusty winds tomorrow, across the entire bay area. The city of San Francisco will see winds gusting to perhaps near 50 miles an hour. Into monday it continues. Our extime fire danger by tuesday the winds subside and were looking at very cold morningings and warmer afternoons. Liz . Lisa, thank you.
