Back to san bruno, where we are still monitoring that fire burning in the state park there. Live pictures from the scene. No structures are threatened. A secondalarm was called as a precaution and not because of the wind necessarily, but because of the very dry conditions. We are tracking the breaking news story and we will continue to bring you updates as we can. We want to talk to kari, and we have seen the plume of smoke up in the air, but it is so dry. So dry and good that we dont have a lot of wind right now, but crazy in february that we are talking about how dry the conditions are. We have been doing a count of how many days it has been since we have had any, and even a little bit of rain in San Francisco. I has been 31 days, and this is the 10th longest dry spell, and the driest february since 1864 which is also a leap year. We have one more day of february and we are still looking at all of the dry conditions here. And the problem is that, b the d has been to the north of us to canada and Washington State and even parts of oregon while we have been getting basically nothing as that storm track stays north. But now we are seeing a little bit of the change as an area of low pressure is moving across Southern California and spreading the clouds into the bay area right now, and once again, no showers associated with the clouds. High pressures are moving away and allowing for the storm system to dip in, but it is going to be what we call the inside slider, and lot of these come down from canada and a dip off towards the south and move east, but they dont have a lot of moisture associated with them. The good thing is that it is going to bring in some light snow for parts of the sierra, and for the bay area, we are going to have dry conditions, and the winds are picking up as the High Pressure builds once again going into next week, and we know that High Pressure causes the air to sink and once it warms up due to the compression due to the friction, we will have warm weather next week because it is dry, and we talked about the light snow showers that are coming through the sierras, and we are going to be looking at light saturday and continuing through sunday, and looking at 3 to 6 inches of snow which is going to be good for some of our resorts. Here we will have the winds picking up, and also very windy over the sierra, and we are going to be seeing the coastal winds at to 40 miles per hour, and then looking at still monday morning, and it is going to be quite gusty as we are heading back to work, and it is looking like the winds are going to calm down throughout the day on monday, and as we check out the events happening this weekend, we have the Polar Bear Plunge in San Francisco and as people take a dip at the aquatic park for a good cause. We have a hot air music festival, and it is going to be windy and also the temperatures are reaching into the upper 50s. By sunday, we are going the wrap up the weekend and looking at the warriors game, and we will have the upper 50s for that as well. So you can notice that there is going to be a big cooldown compared to today and the past couple of days and reaching into the upper 50s across the bay area across sunday, and along with the gusty winds, but warming up again early next week, but it is going to be a chilly weekend, kris, so plan accordingly.
