Reporter well, this marquee in downtown orinda could go dark by tomorrow at 10 00 p. M. And the power could be off in this area until monday. Thats why a lot of people in this area are getting ready. The possible power safety shutoff is not only affecting adults, its a concern for children. My parents got a generator. So now we have that. Which is good. And we also have these big bags of ice. The last few weeks have created a frenzy for people looking for ways to keep the power on. We just installed a solar system on our roof with a backup battery. So we are ready. Reporter an estimated 120,000 contra costa pg e customers might lose power tomorrow. 56,000 customers in Alameda County could lose power around 5 00 p. M. I dont exactly like it because most stuff wont be available. And like this causes all kinds of commotion. Even though its an inconvenience, we recognize that its important to do to avoid fires. Just disappointing to see that although they did that up in sonoma there still was a fire. Reporter Law Enforcement is hoping people are preparing themselves for criminals who may want to take advantage of the outage. We certainly have a plan to have deputies in our affected areas, but a lot of the alarms are equipped with battery backups. So thats a good thing as well. Reporter now, even though the power shutoffs are planned the caldecott andlide tus take place this weekend, will wrap up by 5 00 p. M. To cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. Last power outage we did not have a generator. So this time we decided to get a generator. Thats what many others around the bay area are doing tonight. They are getting ready, gassing up, preparing for a few days without power. Tonight pg e says that is a good idea. In fact, it recommends people charge their phones and flashlights, fill cars with gas, have cash on hand and know how open garage doors manually. Now, if you want to find out if your home is affected by these outages weve put up a link to the pg e website. You can see that map. You can enter your address.

And there probably will be more over the weekend. Pg e says it will begin turning the power back on, 2 00 in the afternoon on monday. But of course that could change depending on the weather. Lets talk about the kincade fire again and the impacts of it. The wildfires burning in Sonoma County but we are seeing smoky, hazy skies across the bay area. Lets bring in chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. Jeff, how much more will we see of that over the next couple of days . I think its especially through tomorrow going to continue to filter down here. Once we get the wind on sunday, that definitely could blow a lot of it out of here out towards the pacific ocean. But i think the larger thing at hand right now is the air is unhealthy across the bay area. So youve got that. May need to limit your outdoor exposure. We have the fire, the kincade mil, which is at least 21,000 per hour. But the direction of the wind is likely going to grow this fire right here on the southern side. As we move through tomorrow, again, we are expecting unhealthy air compared to the east bay and south bay with the worst air quality expected right over marin, napa, and sonoma counties. But what about the wind . I dont want to string you along on this. I want to give you an early look at what im looking at with my forecast. And you can see on saturday i dont think for most of the day winds a problem. 10 to about 20 Miles Per Hour. By saturday night at 11 00 p. M. We could see those gusts begin to go up to about 30 with that new wind event as we head into sunday. Were looking at gusts in the lower elevations. 20 to 40. The real threat, though, is in the mountains. 60plus Miles Per Hour. I will take you all the way through this wind event. And ive been hearing from a lot with the twitter, you want to kincade fire and which way embers might blow from that fire. Ill have a detailed look at that coming u minutes. Okay.

Reporter yeah, as you mentioned, the fire does seem to be moving a little bit south and east, and that is the reason why we are having those additional evacuations. Lets go ahead and show you right now. Were kind of seeing the edge of the fire here. Those additional evacuations issued here in Sonoma County, and then just over the hill east of us in lake county are additional evacuation prompting fire crews to close down some of the roads heading into the fire zone. A new evacuation warning has also been issued for Cobb Mountain and surrounding areas in lake county including the communities of gifford springs, cobb, whispering springs, anderson springs, adam springs, and hobert. Its just hard for the area. Were still trying to recoup from a couple years ago. In Sonoma County residents in litton have been stopping along the roads to watch as the hills are lit up. Incident commanders are hoping to get more of a handle on this fire now before this weekends winds. We are throwing as many resources as we can at it. But we also have to plan for the worst and we also have to think about this large wind event that is coming. Reporter the kincade fire is only at 5 containment. Its ballooned to more than 23,000 acres. It has destroyed 49 buildings including many homes. Because of the wind pg e will be cutting park to communities in the fire zone and in thevent a new issue residents need to be ready for. When we lose power, we lstre. Street lighting. Your overhead street lighting. Your stoplights are out. So that adds to confusion. Reporter now, when that power cut when that power is cut and if there are additional evacuation orders, the sheriff says that he has his deputies going he will have his deputies going door to door to tell people about those evacuations to make sure that they do get to safety. Reporting live in Sonoma County im sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. Sergio, thank you so much for that report. The smoke is impacting air quality across the bay area, as you can imagine.

Jeff, were getting closer sxloeser to saturday and sunday. Sunday being the problem day for firefighters fighting the fire. Weve seen a few changes in the forecast but overall we still do expect those gusty winds as we hit sunday. Lets bring you in to that microclimate forecast. And i know youve been smelling it outside. The smoke has now filtered throughout all of the bay area. Do expect that smoke through tomorrow with the worst of it right up here into the north bay. So how do we know its going to be windy on sunday . I wanted to give you a look at what we look at behind the scenes. And its all about the way the weather pattern is setting up. We have High Pressure. Youre used to seeing that. That can usually bring us some clear skies and warm temperatures. But the thing thats developing is this low pressure system over the west. And because these two weather systems are so close, air in weather flows from High Pressure to low pressure. So were going to see this wind race right across california as we hit sunday. Every single forecast model is showing that area of low pressure develop right there. And thats going to be key to the forecast. So lets take you through saturday. I dont really see a whole lot of wind through the day on saturday. So as you continue to get ready for these power shutoffs and think about what youve got to think about here, its only five to about seven Miles Per Hour through 6 00 p. M. Once we hit 11 00 we start to see things pick up over st. Helena, napa and vacaville. Definitely this ev s youre loo the wind direction and also the expected wind gusts. Most of the lower elevations will be 20 to about 40 Miles Per Hour. But some new information tonight is maybe not quite as windy here for san jose and also redwood city. But overall look for mountain gusts at 50 to 70. Lower elevations sustained steady winds 15 to about 30. We can handle that. R to 40, thatsional gusts at the could also bring down some trees. So the problem we get into with the wind as we advance this is we have the winds staying with us at 11 00 a. M. On sunday. It continues into 3 00 p. M. And then also into 9 00 at night. So its a Long Duration event and thats where we could see more troubles with possibly some fires if fires do end up getting sparked. Well get this wind clearing out of here once we hit 7 00 in the morning. Now, ive been hearing and talking with you a lot on twitter tonight, and i know your concern is real up near the kincade fire. So i wanted to show you with th blowing what could happen with some of the embers. The winds are going to be coming out of the northeast and this definitely could blow embers certainly into geyserville and also healdsburg. You have to start thinking about evacuation plans if you have not already done so. Also down toward windsor and cal oh sto calcalistoga. Youre far away but fire spreads fast and i want you to be prepared. We also have the new evacuations in cobb. Even though the winds going to be pushing the fire generally away from you youre going to be real close to that. So also stay on alert. My extended forecast, wind calming down by monday. We could see the wind kick up a little bit more on wednesday. Not nearly as gusty and dry over the next seven days. Right here through the inland valleys, down to 78 on sunday. At least for that power its not going to be too hot. If you got a generator like i did tonight, there are some simple tips. Make sure you use it outdoors. Plenty of ventilation. Exhaust away from the house. At least 20 feet away. And let it cool before you fuel it back up. I just wanted to get that out there so people are safe with g. Yep. Super important. Good tips.
