Pg e has to inspect those lines in order to reenergize them and make sure they are safe.

A couple of cars are tangled up and it is also right here. We have a backup building. It looks like there are delays on the maps. That is a slow crawl westbound 24. Crews are on scene. There are no estimates on when everything will reopen so plan for those delays. We are seeing some brake lights across the upper deck of the bay bridge. There was a broken down vehicle around the center and grades. They cleared that quickly. The damage has been done. There is a slow ride across the span and traffic is definitely building at the toll plaza as well. There is a trickle effect into San Francisco. Things are slow. Another slow spot to deal with is the right out of tracy into the Allatoona Pass. The drive times are 46 minutes from 205 over towards 680. It is a slow crawl from 205 over on two 580 and another area where i am seeing a few brake lights for super commuters is the right out of morgan hill. Traffic is a little slow on the northbound side of 101. It is a foggy right here. And commerce boulevard has traffic lights out. Treated as a fourway stop. I am tracking critical fire weather conditions and also looking at the temperatures that are hot but not quite as hot as yesterday. Here is the Mount Hamilton camera and the big differences with our temperatures. We are in the 50s and 60s. Yesterday we were in the 60s and 70s. We are starting to see some improvement with our weather. We are in the mid 60s in oakland and San Francisco is down to 59, 58 in santa rosa and in san jose, 67 degrees. I want to talk about our peak wind gusts. We are watching the winds ramp up. The strongest winds are happening right now and then we are still going to see the strong winds through the rest of today into tomorrow but those peak wind gusts, were looking at 61 mile an hour winds at mount diablo and 60 in mount st. Helena and 46 mile an hour wind gusts in healdsburg and 44 around burns valley and 40 for this area. That is a big concern for us. It is very dry here, especially up an hour inland locations. Along the coast and the bay, you saw those foggy conditions for the Golden Gate Bridge camera so we are getting that onshore flow along the coast and the bay but those brown colors, that indicates the drier air. We have a dry cold front pushing through and that is really ramping up those winds for us. It is just 20 s percent in fairfield and 39 in livermore. So because of those dry conditions, and the gusty winds, we have a red flag warning in effect for our Higher Elevations, so the north bay and Santa Cruz Mountains are under that red flag warning now until 8 00 wednesday. So already, were seeing the winds gusting up to 60 to 61 miles an hour. It is very concerning for us. Also, a wind advisory for the north bay mountains is in effect now until 11 00. Also, spare the air alert is a record 22 days in a row for the bay area, so still dealing with those hazy and smoky skies. This low pressure system is bringing snow to the colorado area and is dropping a cool trend and that is why we have this high fire danger for the bay area. You can see the future cast winds, those peak winds are happening right now but still we are looking at those sustained winds, really gusting up in the north bay mountains and the east bay hills. The Higher Elevations will be dealing with these strong winds through today and tomorrow morning the highs today are in the mid 90s for santa clara and san jose and triple digit heat for morgan hill and the same for concord and Pleasant Hill and the trivalley. Around the bay, mid80s in San Francisco and mid to upper 90s for the north bay. Heres the extended forecast we will cool down a little bit as we go through the week, so a bit of some relief from the heat by the end of the week into early next week. Back to you.
