Tonight. Calistoga continues to get beat up the last couple of months. Reporter they certainly do, jessica. Once again folks in calistoga or many folks here in calistoga are without power. You can see the traffic light at this intersection is not working tonight. But people here are understanding. Last nights wind caused a lot of worry. Pg e crews are busy repairing the damage caused by last nights windy weather. Sustained winds of up to 76 miles an hour in the north bay did, indeed, topple trees and take down power lines. This giant pine tree in angwin fell right onto pg e lines, pulling down three power poles. We would have had a major issue by all means. Reporter luckily the neighborhood was part of pg es Public Safety power shutoff. Folks here fear if the electricity had been on, theyd have been in a world of trouble. Pg e was right this time. They prevented a big fire. Our house is safe, and were thankful for that. Reporter pg e started turning off the power late yesterday afternoon to parts of the bay area forecast to experience dangerous fire conditions. Were doing this for safety. Were doing it because of the weather. We know its extreme times right now, and we wouldnt shut off the power unless we absolutely had to. Reporter it meant some north bay schools couldnt offer online instruction today. And once again forced many businesses to close. But residents say the wind warranted it. The windows started rattling and woke me up. I couldnt sleep. It was blowing so fast, it was like a hurricane. Reporter we are back here live where you can see the pumps at this gas station are not working. Thats because they do not have power once again. Now, pg e says they do not expect to get the allclear from this Severe Weather until tomorrow morning. They say that power might not be restored to the north bay until 10 00 tomorrow night.

Lights are currently scheduled to also go back on by noon tomorrow around san ramon and the san jose foothills and in the santa cruz mountains.

The wind really not as gusty right now as what we saw overnight and earlier today. Thats what you heard. Thats what you saw this morning. This was overnight from contra costa county. Higher elevations saw gusts up to 70 miles an hour, even faster in some parts of the north bay. Lets bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri.

You can see at 8 00 tonight, look at that burst of red here in my wind map. Its mainly for the north bay. That would have the best chance of those winds. As we move through 11 00 tonight, were continuing to hold on to some of those wind gusts there for the north and also the east bay. Well take more looks at that hourly wind forecast and of course my sevenday forecast and show you whats ahead for us in the week. Ill see you back here in about 15 minutes. Thank you so much, jeff. The winds hit fremont hard, breaking trees in half, blowing down fences, knocking over trash bins and sending debris flying. In the foothills east of 680 and mission boulevard, part of a large eucalyptus tree fell. Luckily it mostly missed a nearby home. It sounded like a hurricane. It sounded like a category 4 or 5 hurricane. It was that loud. Ary earplugs in, it was just raging. A couple of other examples. Overnight in san leandro, tree branches fell onto east 14th streets. Crews were on scene to clear the roadway. From sky ranger we saw a tree fall into lanes on 580 before dawn. A dangerous situation for drivers there. A similar situation in the Berkeley Hills today. The gusty independent withes brought down trees on to roadways. Nbc bay areas melissa colorado is live in berkeley with the details, melissa, how is the cleanup looking . Reporter a whole lot better, i got to tell you, janelle. The winds have comed down considerably but the threat of a wildfire far from over. In the east bay Regional Park district, 11 of their parks will remain closed until wednesday morning. The district says those powerful winds toppled over 14 power lines. Thankfully those power lines were deenergized. Very windy. Didnt get much sleep. Reporter groggy berkeley residents hoping to sneak in a nap today may have been rattled awake this afternoon by the sound of this.

The mayor says at least six people took that advice and spent the night at a nearby hotel. The mayor says the worst of the wind event has passed, but his city isnt out of the woods yet. Even though were fortunate that nothing happened, it may happen in the future so we have to be prepared. Its not over yet, so weve got to remain diligent. Theres still high winds predicted through tomorrow. Reporter and the city is no longer encouraging people who live up here in the Berkeley Hills to find another place to spend the night.

Democrats, though, still upset that the judge was fasttracked before this president ial election.

This is one of the most brilliant, admired, and wellqualified nominees in our lifeti lifetime. Justice Coney Barrett is now on her way to the white house for a swearingin ceremony on the south lawn. Unlike her nomination ceremony you recall 30 days ago, this time everyone at the white house is Wearing Masks and will be socially distanced. Justice Clarence Thomas is expected to swear her in.

The posts showed up after a proposal to change the admissions process for a San Francisco high school. Nbc bay areas pete suratos has more. Reporter a united front in San Francisco. Speaking out against hateful speech targeting two School Board Members, Alison Collins and gabriella lopez. There is a line when we are talking about policy and we start targeting people, that isnt safe for communities of color and for women. Its shown me the Strong Community spoeupport we all hav and this understanding whether we agree or disagree on policies we cant be targeting people. Reporter the posts show spausty cas photoshopped onto their faces and a graphic void of someone burning the picture. The posts follow two proposals that were recently votes on by the school board, which include renaming schools that some may find offensive and changing lowell highs admission policy to a lottery system. But collins tells me a majority of the board votes in favor of these proposals. Yet lopez and herself, who are both women of color, are the only ones being harassed. We are both consistent in naming race, talking about addressing racism, antiimmigrant practices, antiracist teaching. Those are all things that we talk very openly about. We are very vocal and very honest about where we stand and often that means pointing out to the racism that thrives within our educational system. Reporter state senator scott wiener was one of the voices today. He actually disagrees with the boards proposal to focus on renaming schools, but he says disagreeing through hateful speech isnt the way. We can disagree to our hearts delight, and were very good at that in San Francisco. But the minute it tips into threats and personal attacks, thats when it crosses the line. Reporter in San Francisco, pete suratos, nbc bay area news. Were going to switch gears, go back to jeff ranieri. Jeff, we just saw those fires were dealing with in Southern California and then now here. Again were having this situation with the wind. When do you expect this wind to start dying down so we dont continue to see these issues . Well, at the lower elevations, weve really seen a dramatic drop in that wind. Its only about 10 to 20 Miles Per Hour for the most part. Its up in the mountains where we are still getting these 30 to 50mileperhour wind gusts. Well have to watch out through tomorrow. Im working on generator power like some of you might be back at home. Just enough power to power these lights in front of me. So these Power Outages obviously affecting everybody still at this hour. So lets get you the latest on when this wind moves out of here so we can get that power back on from pg e. You can see on the red flag fire warning, were still working at some isolated wind here for the north and the east bay Higher Elevations until 5 00 p. M. Tomorrow. Again, very isolated as were seeing the lower elevation winds calm down. But its in the mountains. Wind gusts of 25 to 50 Miles Per Hour. The big problem with the wind, i wanted to show you whats been producing all of these issues is this area of low pressure thats dropped down across the west. All of that cold air just disrupted the weather pattern and brought in this wind. So thats what were continuing to deal with right now. As we move through tomorrow, that area of low pressure slowly starts to move off towards the east, and that will be good enough to take that wind with it once we hit tomorrow night and into wednesday, were going to see that calmer wind pattern moving back in. Lets get to the wind forecast. 11 00 p. M. Tonight, look at the colors on the wind contour. At 11 00 p. M. We still have some of that brightness, the orange and the red. Those are those 30 to 40mileperhour wind gusts in the mountains of the north bay and also for the east bay. As we roll through tomorrow morning, youll notice were seeing that pop of wind again stay over the north bay Higher Elevations where that could be a problem in tomorrow morning and a little bit right there for the east bay as well. Hanging on to the wind as we move at least through tomorrow morning. Temperatures are going to be cold to start with. That system that moved down. 48 for the south bay. Trivalley at 46. As we move into the east bay, San Francisco and the north bay, well have a mix of 40s to 50s. If youre doing anything tomorrow morning, make sure to have that light jacket with you as its going to be chilly. Starting to see those morning numbers drop. As we roll through tomorrow, temperatures warm up a little bitment 78 in napa. 68 in half moon bay. 75 in oakland. San jose, 76. At least we do not have these triple digit temperatures with some of this wind lingering in the mountains and our temperatures have been a little more comfortable. In San Francisco, as we move through the next couple of days, well see a mix of 60s to 70s with once again the wind calming down by wednesday. And as we roll through this weekend, well keep those 60s in the mix. Right here for the inland valleys, 70s to about 80 as we roll through the next seven days, so no major heat moving in. And once again, that wind really starting to calm as we roll through tomorrows forecast. Jessica and janelle, what a night that was last night with that howling wind. You could hear branches hitting the house. It was so, so intense. So thankful that for the most part, so far we havent seen any major, major fires break out although we are dealing with some activity in the north bay. Yeah. I walked outside gingerly to see what it looked like outside because it was so loud last night. It seemed like there was going to be so much more damage than what, you know, obviously we saw. Good things are dying down a little bit. Thanks, jeff. Coming up, that iconic cocacola sign is coming down for good. Just how soon the work will start to dismantle it.
