We have also had high wind gusts in the sierra. Looking from alpine meadows, a live view, we measured 94mileperhour gust in the sierra. Temperature is only 34 degrees with relative humidity at 11 .

As we change seasons, we have cooler weather and sometimes high winds come along with that. We are continuing to monitor that the next 24 hours due to the red flag warning staying with us until 11 00 tomorrow morning. It will be breezy throughout the afternoon. We had high winds overnight. I know a rough night and hard to sleep. We are going to gradually start to see our winds calming down. Tomorrow, that red flag warning will continue, especially for the north bay and we will continue to monitor for that high fire danger. Some of those highest wind gusts were earlier this morning and late last night. Taking a look where we are right now. Some of those winds are mostly at about 15 to 20 Miles Per Hour.

And the linemen often met without masks during practice. The fine could be stiff because the team has a record of violations already. By the way, raiders lost to tampa 4520. Niners further proved that yesterday in new england when they dismantled Bill Belichick and the patriots. Sort of a homecoming from jimmy g.
