Well, were going to be under this wind advisory through 11 00 this morning, its been so gusty and its coming along with very low humidity, we have to be careful over these new few hours, hopefully, we dont get any major fires going, some of our Mountain Wind gusts thats where its been really high. Take a look at mt. St. Helena, a wind gust at 89 miles per hour. Middletown, a wind gust topped 71 miles per hour. Kalaveras reached 63 miles per hour. Were still seeing those really high wind gusts, mostly coming in from the north and northeast. Very low humidity. Weve seen it in the teens and Single Digits in some spots.

Calming down for tonight. Still breezy along with low humidity as this very strong cold front moves through. Were seeing the High Pressure across the region and a low thats been dipping off toward the east.

Looking at our high temperatures for today, a high in concord reaching 78 degrees. Also 78 in livermore. Santa rosa reaching 80 days and San Francisco up to 78 degrees. Going through this sevenday forecast once again, high winds for today. Calming down for tomorrow and then the red flag warning will be allowed to expire by tomorrow morning at 10 00. We should have a little bit of time to see whats going on, assess what damage has been happening due to these high winds and as we go into the end of the week, another round of high winds, high temperatures reaching into the high 70s and for San Francisco, expect temperatures in the low 70s over the next several days. Still warm due to that offshore wind. Were watching all of those wind speeds and of course anything thats going on around the bay area. Mike .
