Vianey joining us now with a look at the forecast. Weve got a Red Flag Alert for the next its been extended, right . Yeah, its been extended. Originally it was set to expire tonight but now its been extended until tuesday. And now its because those winds have been sticking around longer than we thought. Were also going to pair that with relatively low humidity. The cooler temperatures weve been enjoying will be sticking around for one or two more days along with the clear skies. Heres a live look right now over san jose as the citys going to sleep although i have a feeling some folks are still going to be out. If youre one of those folks that is out and about its a little bit chilly in some spots right now. San jose 61 degrees. Hayward 58 degrees. Oakland in the 50s. And along the coastline expect for the winds to start picking up into tonight and the overnight hours. What that means is we could also see some pretty strong gusts out there. Lets get a quick check of that temperature trend, what you can expect overnight and Early Morning as you wake up for work. By about 3 00 a. M. Well drop down into the lower 50s, then well kind of stay at about 55 degrees for san jose, at least through about the 6 00, 7 00 a. M. Hour before we start to see an increase in those temperatures. Now, for San Francisco expect to have a breezy to windy coast, definitely starting off with some nice clear skies, which will be great. We havent seen much of that fog the past couple of days. 58 degrees by 4 00 a. M. By 5 00 a. M. We will be in the upper 50s. So if you have to be up for work or you like to go on morning runs theres a quick check of your morning forecast. Weve had this red flag warning in place for the past couple of days and it was set to expire tonight but that has been extended through tuesday and the reason for this is weve still got plenty of cool air coming in and this dry, dry cool air is going to keep us so cool in some spots but its also going to kick up those winds, which is why the highlighted areas are expected to remain under a red flag warning at least through tuesday night. Expect winds to kick up anywhere between possibly 10, 25plus Miles Per Hour, which means as of right now outdoor burning is not recommended. Another thing, too, if you have any outdoor patio, furniture or anything that needs to be tied down, it might be a good idea to do it now. Overnight winds could be be kicking up. So you could be missing some lawn chairs and also create a safety concern. Livermore 80 degrees, san jose 76. Oakland 75. And San Francisco 72. Expect those comfortable weather or the comfortable temperatures to stick around through wednesday. We keep the 70s in the forecast through tuesday and wednesday, and then as we head into thursday weve got a little bit of a changing weather pattern. Were going to welcome in a ridge of High Pressure and what that ridge of High Pressure is going to do is going to warm us up again into the 70s and 80s in some spots. If you Pay Attention to next weekend, well, were going to be climbing right back up into the upper 80s, possibly seeing the return of some 90s in the forecast. But tonights biggest impact as we head into monday is going to be the wind. So please keep that in mind. Vianey, thank you so much. And still to come, we continue to follow breaking news.

And that is exactly what happened to the 49ers for two straight weeks. 49ers in arizona taking on the cardinals. It was the battle of kickers. Both teams knocked in four field goals each in regulation. Game was tied at 12. So we went to overtime. And in o. T. 49ers up three after another field goal. But Carson Palmer finds guess what.

Were going to continue to update this story as more information becomes available. It is the tallest dam in the country, and we saw the problems earlier this year. The spillway collapsed, forcing 200,000 people from their homes. And now weve uncovered more problems with the oroville dam. The entire dam could fail, which could impact our water supply. Senior Investigative Reporter steven stock has been on this case for six months. Reporter this independent forensic report just released says that the state failed to use modern engineering standards to address spillway back in february. But our investigation uncovered warning after warning that the dam itself needs serious attention and repair. Problems that two former state insiders tell us are being kicked down the road and not being fully addressed now. All summer and into the fall work on orovilles collapsed spillway has forged on at a furious pace. As Californias Department of Water Resources races the clock to repair the milelong spillway before the next rainy season. But its whats not currently getting all this attention to concerns several engineers we spoke with. They dont know what to do. Reporter state Water Project engineer don colson retired 20 years ago after working on many facilities including oroville dam and its spillway. I think it has failed. It just hasnt collapsed. Reporter we examined two decad decades worth of federal and state inspection reports, consultant letters and memos, nearly 10,000 documents in all. They repeatedly identify safety issues which concerned several engineers we spoke with. Issues such as a 15footlong crack in the concrete at gate 8 in the dams headworks or Flood Control structure that appears to be groelg. Spalling, or deterioration of concrete in other areas. Cracking tennion or trunion rods that helped move the gates which control the flow of water through the dam. And failure to come up with a longterm plan acceptable to inspectors which would monitor the amount and flow of water that naturally goes through the earthen dam. If that water comes out at the wrong place and at the wrong speed, it could wash the dam away. My driving force is out of concern for the public. Reporter this recently retired highlevel dwr administrator who asked to be called mark also worked as a field engineer on the state Water Project. And theyre not addressing issues that have been raised, pointed out, documented in Previous Division safety of the dam inspection reports. Reporter mark joined another retired dwr engineer tony, who worked on state Water Projects including oroville dam. Both wanted to share their knowledge from the inside about how dwr runs, manages, and maintains its dams. They have a tendency to reduce try and reduce their Maintenance Cost by trying to do things themselves and not getting adequate technical help. Reporter they asked us to conceal their identities because both fear their pensions could be taken away for speaking out publicly. Youre going to have a catastrophic structural failure thats going to not allow you to operate that facility the way its supposed to. Were pretty confident that, you know, the dam is safe. Reporter joe ledesma serves as deputy director. He was there calling the shots when oroville spillway began to fail. We lose that and we knew that was a problem not only for Public Safety but the environment itself and the dam structure. Reporter this is led es mas first extensive interview since that spillw waway back in febru. Is the rest of the dam safe . Yes. I think from todays assessments, inspections weve had, you know, Structural Engineers looking at those cracks. So today, yes. Obviously we need to keep monitoring. We need to improve our maintenance program. Reporter critics such as the engineers who used to work at dwr say these issues must be addressed now. Issues like that crack which this report shows in red paint and says is growing in length. Cracks like that could really weaken the structure to the point where it could lead to a failure. Well, i think thats probably a miscommunication thats been growing. I had communications with our dam safety engineers, and it has not grown. Reporter the cracks in the tendons or trunion rods that control the Flood Control gates worry engineers even more. 28 of those have cracks 1 32 of an inch or bigger. 16 have cracks 1 16 of an inch. More precise tests are called for. Back 15 years ago when we were looking at it these bolts were cracking and failing. If this gate fails, youre not going to be able to control the releases out of oroville. When i show you that, what does that say to you as an engineer . It tells me weve got a problem. And it tells me that were lucky that it hasnt manifest tdself to a great problem and a crisis. Reporter but what does the largest critical questions from the half dozen engineers we spoke to was this. Dwr has failed to develop a plan for longterm monitoring of water that naturally leaks through the earthen dam. Whats known as the friatic surface. Inspectors raised this concern repeatedly in report after report over the last five years. It was listed on the most recent inspection report as the top issue to address. The reason, to keep the dam safe experts say dwr must know with certainty how much water is coming out of the dam and where. Because if water flows out of the dam face instead of at the dams toe erosion can occur and the entire dam could wash away. Clearly, federal monitors are concerned about this issue. We have a Monitoring System today. Obviously, dsod and ferc want us to improve that. But forgive me, the fact they keep repeated and pointing it out and pointing it out means it hasnt been addressed yet. Whats taken so long to address these issues . You know, that i cant answer. And so is that something we could i could get back to you on on why so long . I dont have an answer for that. Reporter dwr never did get back to us on that question of why all this is taking so long. They also would not slet us see or take our own pictures up close of that large crack at gate 8.

Vianey arana is joining us now, trying to it is a very difficult thing, especially in las vegas, so many people in the bay area have been there and know exactly where the mandalay bay casino resort is. And wishing for a very the most positive outcome you could have after the tragedy that weve been describing. Several people i saw are trying to reach out to their loved ones out there, and thats going to be another tough situation. I saw that. I imagine calling, no answer, your first thought may be the most negative, may not be the case, but well find out as time goes by. Weve got a workweek coming up and weve got a warning of got a red flag warning. And that means fire danger will be a threat. And we can of course expect to see the winds picking up through tonight and into tomorrow, which is why the red flag warning was extended through turs. And basically what that means is weve got some low relative humidity and with the winds picking up weve got these dry winds. That brings a concern for elevat elevated areas mountains and the hillsides for the north bay and east bay. Right now if youre heading outside the temperatures remain pretty comfortable along the peninsula. Still enjoying the clear skies. A fogless coastline at 60 degrees right now. 59 degrees for the trivalley, 61 for the south bay. San francisco 60 degrees. The east bays about 55 and the north bay at about 60 degrees. Now, lets talk about that red flag warning. The reason were still keeping this red flag warning in place is because that system that kind of cools us down as early as thursday, its going to interact way ridge of High Pressure thats building just over the pacific. And that interaction is going to kick up those winds. Its already kicked up some of the winds, especially for the hillside areas. So at this point outdoor burning is not recommended, especially for hillside areas, or if you know that there is some dry brush. Peak winds, for today at the Early Morning hour, actually earlier today we did hit 50plusmileanhour winds at mount diabolo. Half moon bay winds up to 40 Miles Per Hour. Monterey 36 Miles Per Hour. And even in stris we did see some winds of about 34 Miles Per Hour as well and we are expecting periods of sxon off again gusty conditions. Into the overnight hours and the Early Morning hours. Dont be surprised if you hear the winds. Especially if you notice in napa were talking about 38plus mile perhour winds. At about 10 30 a. M. And along the coastline, even along Half Moon Bay. And the winds will be sticking around overnight. If you notice by about 5 00 a. M. Still looking at 29 Miles Per Hour. And that will persist through monday afternoon. But those temperatures for tomorrow will remain on the cooler side, more seasonable. Livermore 80 degrees. San jose expect a high of 76. Oakland 80. San francisco 72. Over the next several days we have a couple of changes on the way. Well keep the cooler temperatures through wednesday, then as we head through thursday and friday thats where weve got our biggest change coming and its going to come in the form of a ridge of High Pressure. And what that High Pressure is going to do is its going to warm us up by about tenplus degrees in some areas. So these nice falllike temperatures weve been enjoying since thursday, well, theyre going to warm up as early as thursday and we will keep the sunny skies. On thaend of the spectrum it is good well be keeping the sunshine but expect the possibility of some 90s in some inland areas for next weekend. Although i do think it will make for some pretty decent beach weather. But remember, that red flag warning is in place through tuesday evening. All right, vianey, thanks so much.
