But look at downtown calistoga. Restaurant after restaurant after restaurant, business after business after business, they are all closed. Everybody listened to the warning. They got out of dodge, so to speak, and evacuated town with the mandatory Evacuation Order into effect. I think what probably alerted people the most was that they got the all clear. They thought they were out of this thing, and now tonight, theyre just afraid this thing is really going to blow up. Im also near what is called the tubbs fire. Thats directly behind. At last check it has burned more than 28,000 acres. And take a look at the desolation in calistoga tonight. We ventured around town this afternoon, its a wild west ghost town as one guy said. We saw very few cars on the street. Cal fire says it is committed to the fire fight. So let me give you the very latest. Nearly 8,000 firefighters are on the frontlines of all these fires. 73 helicopters have been flying above, and more than 30 tankers are dropping water, but only, only when the conditions can permit that. Cal fire says it does have access to every available aviation asset in the country, but cal fire, beingvery clear about the danger tonight. Were concerned, and anticipate that before the day is over, several of these fires will merge. These fires are just literally burning faster than firefighters can run in some cases, so imagine being out there in difficult terrain with miles, and miles of fire line, and to try to catch up to that, and put in land line, or lay hose. Pretty challenging. Reporter cal fire certainly not alone. Additional crews from oregon, nevada, washington, and arizona are headed to the frontlines tonight. Strong winds shifted around the fire, sending flames back towards calistoga. I talked to the mayor about 4 00, that is their big concern, of course. Everyone in this city, the population he told me is about 5200 people. Theyre under a mandatory Evacuation Order tonight. Kpix 5s Juliette Goodrich has spent the afternoon with some of those folks trying to get out. Reporter allen, we are on a farm where the owners here had to clear out, because of the mandatory Evacuation Order. Take a look behind me. This is the fire. That is the mount st. Helena, and thats been going all afternoon. Weve actually seen flames shoot up. Now, our guide just to how the wind is going, on this property is actually a wind gauge, its moving slowly, but it picks up ever so often. I want to kind of move you over here as well. Were on the farm, you can see, they still have the livestock here. They had to clear out, and leave their pigs here. On the other hillside. This is towards santa rosa, youve got another fire. Essentially, calistoga is surrounded by two fires. I know we were saying earlier, that fires may merge. I dont know if thats the case for this particular location, but you can just see how the sky is filled with smoke on two sides. Separate sides, north end, and south end. For people here affected by the tubbs fire, this is round two of evacuations. This quaint tourist town is now a ghost town. Its been a challenge. Reporter george hope, and his entire family given orders to clear out, and so they did. Hopes main priority, getting his 94yearold father, and 93 yearold aunt safely moved out and out of the smoke. How are you doing . Are you okay . Well, just hanging in there. We got all our belongings in my trunk. Reporter for some who grew up in this town, a population now, 5,000, recall a fire back in 1964, that almost did the same thing. Both sides of the mountains were on fire. My dad and mom knelt down and they prayed. My father went to sleep. Everybody evacuated. Woke up the next morning, it was all gone. This is really scary. I think its really coming. Reporter for some, the hardest part about evacuating is leaving livestock behind. We cant take them. Theyre not like regular pets. They cant be like, come on in the car with me. So theyre staying here, and hopefully, everything will be okay. They made it through the first fire. They all huddled in the middle together, and they kind of just hunkered down, and they were scared. Reporter this latest mandatory Evacuation Order is round two. The cops told us, do whatever you need to do and get out. So thats what were doing. Reporter the tubbs fire swept through their property sunday night, destroying antique cars, power lines, and some of of their livestock. I thought it was gone. I thought it already went path over the hill, and we were done. But now it just came back around because of the wind. Reporter where there is smoke there is fire, and in this town, the smoke is almost unbearable. Back out here live in calistoga, where the owners of this farm have cleared out. They have not had cell service the past couple of days, theyve been relying on nick to give their report. Allen, were actually going to clear out as well. Were going to come down to you, and meet up with you. I can tell you, information is spotty for people here. Because they dont have cell service. Theyve been relying on fire crews telling them to get out, and also pg and e crews, trying to clear the lines that are down right now. Absolutely. The mayor of calistoga told me he just got cell service for the first time today, so its very, very spotty. A local chef told us also, that typically this town, the restaurants should be full, the hotels packed, and here it is. It is a ghost town, and its going to hit the economy here very, very hard no matter what happens to this little town. All right, weve been talking about calistoga in napa. Lets go to Sonoma County, because another evacuation advisory is in effect, as two fires are threatening to merge into one in the area of Boyes Hot Springs. Thats where andrea is tonight. Reporter the tree tops here tonight in Boyes Hot Springs, the concern is that the fire directly behind our camera will make a run through this neighborhood. People here are scared. Take a look behind me. There are sprinklers, and hoses trained on roofs right now, trying to give their homes a fighting chance. Its going to be mandatory soon. Get things together. Reporter up and down, in Boyes Hot Springs, deputies are giving Evacuation Orders. Its hard to see which direction flames are coming in from. Sheriffs office. Right on the other side of this house is a hill there. Its hard to see it from last night. We were Walking Around the corner, and you could see the fire line and all of that last night behind. Went there around 11 00 and couldnt see anything. Reporter across the street, theres a fire hose already hooked up to a hydrant. This Small Community has been under siege for days, waiting for what may be inevitable. Were really nervous. Obviously, weve got a couple of fires that are going to converge on us. Reporter sprinklers, and hoses are trained on rooftops around the town. Someone said it might help. Just keep it moist. Were doing everything that we can. Better to try something, even if its not proven. Reporter now right now, it is merely an evacuation advisory here in Boyes Hot Springs. It has not moved to a mandatory evacuation yet. I can tell you about two hours ago, many people just got up and left. They did not want to stick around to see what may happen this night, and wait for that knock on the door at the last second, allen, to tell them to get out. All right, andrea, borbe, thanks so much. There is another fire forcing evacuations, theyre calling that one the nuns fire. Its burned more than 7600 acres so far. That fire in the Sonoma County north of glenn ellen. Only 2 contained. Joe vasquez covering that for us tonight. Ramp yeah, allen. You can see what that fire has already done here in the neighborhoods surrounding glenn ellen. Now, there are hot spots growing just west of us. And theres concern that it will return. Authorities are worried about high winds tonight, catching flames, and shooting the fires like torches into neighborhoods. Thats what happened sunday night. All right, this afternoon, we have found hot spots along Bennett Valley road. Theyre appearing in vineyards, and near houses. You can see, and hear, just how dry this vegetation is. Thats why firefighters deliberately set this fire, to clear away the fuel. But we also found fires that were spontaneous, and could grow worse as the night goes on. Parts of Bennett Valley have already been wiped out from the thunderstorm sunday night. Now authorities are worried that the fire will come back through. They have expanded their area of evacuation. A new evacuation advisory, not mandatory, but advisory, is now in effect for Boyes Hot Springs and the northern part of the town of sonoma. Weve been evacuated. Reporter margaret priest lewis lives near glenn ellen. The cops came by earlier today, and told her it was time to go. Lots of friends around, and we want to be nearby. After that at some point, i want to get away from here, and not be so heavily involved with fires. Reporter all eyes right now are on the wind. It has been erratic a little bit, but it has not been very sharp. Right now, it is a calm wind. A lot of people here hoping that the forecast doesnt come true, at least not the worst version of it, and that the winds will stay calm as possible, so we dont get a repeat of sunday night. Reporting live, joe vasquez, kpix 5. All right, joe, we are all, all hoping for that for sure. Ive got to tell you guys, its not so eerie that the town is empty. Its eerie, is, is this the calm before the storm . Everybody is on edge, expecting that. Just a few minutes ago, we saw a convoy of trucks and trailers headed east out of town. Apparently, theres a big animal evacuation center, those now have to be evacuated, because that could be in danger. This is a good time to be doing it. Allen, thank you. You bet. Air quality in the bay area stinks. You know that. You can smell it. It has reached historically poor levels, and it is only getting worse. A look now at our airport cam in san jose. This is san jose. 100miles from the fires. The smoke is filling the air in Santa Clara Valley for the first time now, theyre getting it. You can see the haze hanging over the airport. Meantime, sfo experiencing a number of flight delays, and cancelations, due to the poor visibility. Paul deanno tracking the winds now. Thats what everybody is, as allen says, on pins and needles about. This wind potential. It is going to increase. Not to the levels of sunday night, but it is going to increase, to 45, even 50 Miles Per Hour. More of the smoke will be sent to the south, down towards san jose, San Francisco, and in between, as that wind will come from the north, pushing all of that smoke to the south. There was a point in time this afternoon, where the air quality hit this level, 364. On a very unhealthy day, which happens once or twice a year will get 200. Its nearly double that. Napa, close to the fire, nearly twice the very unhealthy level. Where do we go from here . Tomorrow, the air quality will remain very unhealthy, perhaps even hazardous in the north bay, and the unhealthy air quality will spread all the way out to the Santa Clara Valley. As bad as the air was today in your neighborhood, it likely will be worse throughout the Morning Hourses tomorrow, perhaps spreading into the afternoon. Speaking of the wind, that has kicked up the red flag warning for all bay area hills and mountains, with those winds gusting to 40, to 50 Miles Per Hour. The fire danger will be critical between now and lunchtime tomorrow. More on the air quality problems. There are communities like walnut creek that are 50, to 75 miles away from the fires. Live in walnut creek with more on that. Reporter were live here in the foothills, just above walnut creek, and neighbors tell us, on any gaven day, they can see 20 miles into fairfield, but today, that visibility down to a half mile, or a mile or so. The bay area air Quality Management says we have very unhealthy air advisories from napa down to santa clara counties. The impact will be felt for days. Even if youre outside of the burn area, they say the conditions are unpredictable, and can get bad quickly. For example, oakland unified schools are advising schools to cancel pe and outdoor recess. Different parts of the bay area are experiencing Different Levels of air quality. So in some parts of the bay area, it might feel okay to go outside, but in other parts of the bay area, it might be too smoky, and you can feel it right away, in your lungs, and your chest, and even in your eyes and throat. Which way is fairfield . Show me . Its pretty much straight over that telephone pole right now. I dont see anything right now. No, you cant see it right now. But you can see it on a clear day. Reporter all righty, so us field crews here, we spent all day in the smoke. Some of us have gotten these masks that we used to wear when we spend hours of the day out in that particulate matter. Theyre recommending one n95. Thats got a little nubby in front of it that helps you breathe. Again, if you can stay out of the air, tomorrow is going to be worse. We are live near fairfield, kpix 5. Coming up, nearly 300 people still missing in Sonoma County, but there are reports of some progress locating some of those folks tonight. The challenging task of reuniting people with their loved ones. And the picturesque town of guyersville, people are also packing up. We are the generation that had it all. We are the generation that had the music and the moves. We are the generation that had a drea we came together to feed the worlds children. We came together to protect them, and in this dangerous world we have to keep on saving them and protecting them, even when were gone. If we remember unicef in our will, well be the generation who left a better world for children. Visit uniceflegacy. Org. Awwwwww. Yummmm. Dennys new holiday pancakes are delicious.

Another body was recovered at journeys End Mobile Home Park in santa rosa. It was discovered just before the park was closed down. There is no word yet on the identity of that victim. Giving us the latest on the search for missing persons at this hour. Emily. Reporter as you can imagine, veronica, this is such a fluid, oftentimes chaotic situation, that having a hard number of the missing is sometimes just impossible to nail down. We are happy to report, though, that in the last hour, they have changed the number of missing. Its gone down from 380 now to 285. But as you can imagine, if approximate someone you love, or youre looking for, and their name is on that list, that is still 285 people too many. And all of those folks are just looking to find them. For the last two days, ive just been pulling my hair, just frying to find her. Reporter jesss mom is missing. His concern is one shared by many others in Sonoma County for their loved ones. The number of missing people jumped overinside. Authorities estimate it to be about 285. We havent talked to her in over two weeks. She has a lot of medical conditions, and thats what really worries us, is if shes, you know, unreachable, and weve checked all the hospitals, and we still cant find her. Reporter 71yearold daniel sufford is also missing tonight. Mike grabo was last heard from in his home off west springs road sunday night. Jan and dan oconnell also live in that area. The Emergency Operations center is fielding the publics calls about them. But as fires continue to rage, with little to no containment, finding them is not an easy task. What is your interaction . At this point, they havent asked us for names, unless theyre looking for someone in particular, and when the shelter first opened, some people were electing to give their names, and probably thought they were coming just for a few minutes, and were leaving. Reporter s as you can imagine, with so many people missing, these are just a few of the faces that weve been able to talk to. Their family members, or signed on the online forum. If you know someone who is missing, or youre looking for a loved one, you can reach out to me, and find all of our information at cbssf. Com or via social media. Reach out, well put their picture on the air. In the meantime though, if youve found your loved one, the Sheriffs Office wants to make sure that you call and let them know. If youve found that person, they can take it off their list and concentrate their resources elsewhere. While Santa Rosa Police are focusing on saving lives right now, in fact all of Law Enforcement is, they have arrested three people on suspicion of looting in the evacuated areas. Police say they have tightened security in those places. The chp has also sent in 73 additional officers to the fire zones to help prevent any further looting. Im allen martin in calistoga. We continue to get new word of evacuations, as fire trucks continue to stream through downtown calistoga. These folks from st. Helena helping out, and also calistoga fire with them. When the winds change, you need to stay alert. Pay attention for possible orders to leave. Im told the very latest information for the area around the town of geyserville is this. Its north of santa rosa, of course. Parts of it are now under mandatory Evacuation Orders. I am told its from highway 128 east to river rock casino. Thats the pocket fire.

Reporter geyserville fire captain joe stewart just returned from the fire lines. He is briefing ranchers and their families about the realities of the situation. Fire engines, f1 fire engine at every house, but thats not going to happen. Theyre bringing in air assets, working the flanks hard with air resources, and dozers, but its real windy up there. Reporter the small town of geyserville is waiting, and watching the wind. In geyserville, don ford, kpix 5. A pregnant woman recounting her escape from the fire. Her home is destroyed, her hospital closed, now she is wondering how she will deliver her child in a matter of days. My name is Cynthia Haynes and i am a senior Public Safety specialist for pg e. My job is to help educate our First Responders on how to deal with natural gas and electric emergencies. Everyday when we go to work we want everyone to work safely and come home safely.

Burning up hillsides. Right now sky drone 5 hovering over the nuns fire. You can see it is just a mess down below. Patches of flames, smoke, burning hillsides. Right now, the nuns fire has scorched over 7500 acres, and is only about 2 contained. Kpix 5 reporter, is live, where firefighters are urging residents to get out. Reporter the active fire is just beyond this tree line right behind me. Earlier, the wind whipped this fire, pushing it through dry grass and tall trees, then the wind tapered off, and the flames progress slowed. But the fire is still moving slowly, steadily, mercilessly through many of the homes here. Say drone 5 rose above a a choked landscape in the hills of the Sonoma County. We got special permission to fly with a firefighter. He confirmed there are no other aircraft currently in the area, and he needed our help. There have people that have refused to evacuate, stuck behind the fire lines. From the air, he wanted to see if there was a route to reach them. The view from the ground was equally ominous. Spreadingunchecked, and threatening several multimillion dollar hilltop homes. We did see a line of firefighters speeding down highway 12, before we headed into the hills. Encountering, but a lone firefighter, urging everyone, us included, to evacuate. On nearby Mountain Road it was a similar scene. The sheriffs deputies were trying to get everyone out, while a few were trying to get back in. Tom was trying to reach his niece and nephew. Theres no reason for them to leave. Theyre all protected. Okay. Even if the fire turns . Right. Reporter cal fire did eventually reach the three people who had stayed behind to protect their property on cave dale road. The house was saved, and the three, despite would be rescuers, decided to stay with it. Cal fire did eventually bring several engines into this area, although firefighters largely were monitoring that blaze, rather than actively fighting it. That could soon change and soon towards the homes on the hilltop. Coming up in our next half hour, our coverage of the north bay wildfires continues. Calistoga clears out. People and livestock evacuated. The fear is what the fire could do to business in the wine country town.

Calistoga, napa county, parts of Mendocino County have also now been evacuated. We are in this fight for the long haul. Its going to continue to get worse before it gets better. Yall know the weather conditions. Were going to see these conditions continue for the next several days minimum, and were planning for that. Were staffing for that. But its going to be a long haul. You have the full support of the state, were engaging obviously federal partners and resources, and were accessing our local government departments, the thousands of Fire Departments across california from san diego to the oregon border. Hundreds of those Fire Departments have firefighters, fire engines, and resources on these, and the many other departments are depending on that. The cal fire says it plans to dedicate separate branches to each, sonoma, and napa counties that way they get state help faster. Heres a look at some of the major fires burning now across the north bay. Most of these fires are still growing. Officials are concerned these fires could merge. Allen martin is in calistoga for us tonight. Reporter veronica, calistoga has been under the mandatory Evacuation Order since between 2 00 and 3 00 this afternoon. I think the most disconcerting thing for many people, was that while they were prepared for the emergency on sunday night and monday, but then they thought they were all clear, that they had sort of dodged the bullet. The winds are expected to pick up, and now folks here found themselves having to to race out of town again. Paulette saw her neighbors pack up and leave. Everybody on the north side of grant street were fully evacuated. Early this morning. Reporter now its the whole town. After an initial scare, then feeling that the danger had passed, paulette left for her High School Reunion in salinas. Then the weather changed her plans, so she came racing back home. I have all my important papers, everything. When my brother evacuated, hes disabled. So its hard for him. He couldnt carry anything, he couldnt pack anything other than clothes on his back and his, you know, toilet articles. A lot of these photos are of my daughters graduation. Reporter she has a couple heavy bins packed. Full of irreplaceable family memories. Thats 72 years of my memories and my brothers, and 36 years of my daughters. Reporter while paulette packs up, look at the town she is leaving. Empty streets, closed shops. Local chef Collin Curtis will be leaving soon. He has the perfect description of this place. A tombstone. You know, a ghost town. Its, right now theres not, theres nobody here except for weve got the police and the fire people, and thats about it. Reporter even if there is a town to come back to, and certainly everyone hopes and prays there is, they know recovering from natures firestorm is a long way off. One day without business, and our restaurant hurts us. So just imagine what a week, two weeks, three weeks can do. Reporter on paulettes cottage, those bins hold things that a digital drive, or the cloud cannot. Prints, and photographs that she simply refuses to let go of. These are all memories that date back to my daughters birth. My mother that passed away. I cant replace them. Reporter if it sounds like she was prepared for this . Well, i wasnt until an hour ago, when he came back home. Reporter with me, Juliette Goodrich. We were actually a couple miles up the road on a farm. We just stopped in to find out what their plan was, and they were going to clear out as well. Theyve been hit by the tubbs fire. They had all of their property damaged. Fortunately, their livestock was not hit. When they got that Evacuation Order, they just cleared out. They didnt get it via cell phone. Firefighters in this town. It was also getting reports via nixle. So they live out in the farm country, so they were kind of, just also looking at their wind gauge, which has been really shifty as well. Pretty selfsufficient when you live out in the country. Having gone through an experience before of a fire, did that seem to help them . Did it put them more on edge . It put them on edge, but i also feel like, these people have been through it with the tubbs fire sunday night, when the winds were just roaring. They knew it was time to head out, and they took that warning seriously, absolutely. Reporter it seems like everybody else did too. Juliette, thanks so much. Thats the latest. Calistoga is a ghost town, but thank goodness, everyone has gotten out of here. Were just waiting, anticipating for the winds to change. Thank you both. And your crews too, a long day today. As the evacuees wait to hear when they can go back home, many are left wondering if their home is even there, Still Standing . It definitely has been a stressful situation for so many people. In santa rosa, with the story of one woman who is making the best of a bad situation. Susie. Reporter well, ken, and veronica, there are hundreds of people staying at the Family Community center in santa rosa tonight. Theyre all evacuees. Many of them dont know. Like youre saying, what has happened to their homes. For them, tonight, may be an anxiety, sleepless night. But one woman we met today will be sleeping soundly, and she says thats all thanks to a little perspective. Its been challenging. Its been chaotic, and thats what you typically expect. Reporter tensions at san joses Evacuation Centers are running high. Thousands have lost everything. Others are left in limbo. But not everyone is feeling frustrated. Its been great here. Reporter shes lost just as much as the next evacuee. How is your home . We dont have one. Reporter mary lived on flamingo drive on the journeys End Mobile Home Park. Its a place weve mentioned many times this week, as its in the epicenter of the devastation. 95 of the park is burned down. They said its like a bomb hit it. Reporter she says there was a moment when fire hit her home, she look at her 90year old mother, and said thats it. I go, momma, i love you. All of a sudden, this gold care just came up, they go, dive in. Reporter a stranger saved their lives. Since then, she says it feels like they got a second change. She led the volunteers here, and the violinist. Theyre the best people in the whole world. They really are. Reporter mostly, shes thankful for the opportunity to move on. I got my 90yearold momma, my dog, dennis, and i think theres something in the world for me to do. Im sure there are a lot of good things that mary will still do. At the very least, making peoples days a little brighter in tough times. A lot of volunteers are coming here with items to donate, and the red cross wanted us to send out the notice, if you want to bring anything, make sure you go to their website, and sign up so they dont have items they cant use sitting here. Kpix 5. So good to it see a smile amid all of this devastation, and three days of it, and its still far from over. One evacuee gives a special shout out to the rock star crews who came from out of town to help out when we come back. Without their training , we could not do ssion to keep our Community Safe. Anytime we are responding to a structure fire, one of the first calls you make is for pg e for gas and electric safety. Its my job to make sure that they have the training that they need to make the scene safe for themselves and for the public. Its handson training actually turning valves, turning systems off, looking at different wire systems all that training is crucial to keeping our Community Safe and our firefighters safe. Together, were building a better california. We have seen these fires affect so many people here in wine cup country, and kpix 5s Wilson Walker has seen much of it. Today, he spent the day in Sonoma County. Yesterday, the fire was over there, and it was just picking up a lot of brush, but it seemed contained, and then last night, seemed to, yeah, jump over here. Reporter from the moment the sun rose, cloud choked skies made it perfectly clear, that the wine countrys unfolding catastrophe would not end today. The winds are picking up for sure. Reporter flames marched across the landscape, creaming towards homes with firefighters, the only thing standing in the way of a total loss. There are some wood piles down there, i want to keep it out of. There are limited resources. A message actually for joanne, chief base white and the mayor. This is San Francisco strong and Bennett Valley, and valley of the moon. With our team up here saving a family compound of about 900 acres. And these guys are rock stars. Thanks. Reporter so the now familiar scenes of controlled chaos unfolded again. So we just, we got permission to come up here and get the cat. Reporter fleeing homeowners raced to grab pets, boxing of memories, and the occasional piece of human history. This is the actual voyager record, by timothy ferris, who helped put it together originally. Reporter fire crews from across the state scramble to decipher local maps. As residents try to make sense of a situation that changed by the hour. The only thing they said, the fire will be here within three hours. Reporter getting out meant navigating a maze of blocked roads, and anyone who was left could probably be found packing up a car, or standing on a roof. Most of the people left. Sonoma is like a ghost town. Reporter this was another day, wine country on fire. Still no end in sight. Been up here forever. Yes, since 1961. Never, never in my life. Theres been fires that just blow through. This has been going on for 3 days, with no resolution. Were just on edge right now. Its awful. Absolutely awful. Reporter and it doesnt stop. Just a few minutes ago, wilson, you and i saw this convoy of pickup trucks and horse trailers go through. We followed them around the corner. We can show you whats going on at the napa county fair grounds. Everything from horse trailers, ambulances, Police Trucks from all over northern california. They even have a couple boats over there. Clearly, this is the staging ground for whatever may come tonight, and whatever kind of response might be needed. My only thought is, lets just hope this isnt, they call it ground zero. Were watching the wind, and waiting. I think everyone within two counties is doing the same thing. Reporter wilson, thanks so much. Guys, were going to send it back to you. Actually, we will go to break. We will have fire coverage throughout the night, keeping an eye on the weather conditions, and the air quality as well. Lica misses you. Im over it though laughter thats fine. I miss her more than you anyway. Hey, my window is closing. Yeah thats okay. Alright miles. I love you. phone hangs up yeah i love you too. dog panting another 2am stroll, huh . Im worried. I have this medical bill. Dave, you have anthem, and they have people to talk to who are empowered to help answer any question you. dog grunting, panting is. Is he okay . Real people . Living and breathing. Hopefully not breathing like that. For all the things that keep you up at night, Anthem Blue Cross has a solution. Place for the Potter Valley area. As the death toll continues to se. In Mendocino County, new Evacuation Orders are in place for the Potter Valley area, as the death toll continues to rise. At least six people have died in the redwood complex fire. Flames have consumed more than 29,000 acres with only 5 containment. A massive fire that started in napa county, is now moving toward fairfield in solano county. That has triggered new evacuations, and authorities are ordering people out of the community of green valley, just west of fairfield. Paul deanno has been watching this of course. We are all paying attention to what happens next with the wind, paul. And the wind right now is only gusting to 21 Miles Per Hour in Sonoma County, but right now is not supposed to be when the strongest winds are arriving. That will happen tonight, and through the Morning Hours tomorrow. Sustained winds in the mountains, not in the valleys, in the mountains, 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour, with wind gusts as high as 50 Miles Per Hour, and dropping the relative humidity. Wry does that matter . As relative humidity decreases, and it will tonight, fuels can, and will burn quicker. When it comes to wind speed, its obvious, wind speeds increase, the fires can spread quicker, as we saw sunday night. Embers were being blown, 70, 75, 80 Miles Per Hour. Taking these small fires and turning it into the mess we have outside now. Air quality is still unhealthy for the entire bay area. That is smoke. That is not cloud cover in the financial district. Only 66 for a high today in San Francisco. Half moon bay, 62. Tomorrow, air quality will be worse. If everything verifies, there is the possibility tomorrow may be some of the worst air quality weve had throughout the bay area that weve had in modern records here. Unhealthy everywhere else, it likely will slip into the hazardous area closer to the fires. Why is the wind changing . Its this low pressure area here, dragging a cold front through. Eventually, cold fronts will bring us rain. Thats exactly what we do want in this case. Bringing the wind, and bringing the wind direction change behind that low. See the wind direction to the south in that will decrease the humidity, and obviously in the higher elevations, weve been talking about the wind speed increasing. Theres the chance that this may happen again saturday. As a ridge of High Pressure ds oregon coastline, we may get another offshore wind event, decreasing the humidity. Once again on saturday, and likely keeping the smoke around the bay area through the weekend. The winds increase tonight, turning northerly. Its going to take a bad situation and make it worse. The potential for pretty rough air quality, rougher than today, tomorrow morning. Looks like im putting clouds on the sevenday forecast. Thats the haze and smoke, likely with us through early next week. 80s inland, and 70s in the bay through sunday. Thats your forecast. Well be right back. You could save energy by living off the grid. Completely. Or. Set the washing machine to cold. Do your thing. Energy upgrade california.
