Yeah, the winds really just starting to pick up now you can see in the north bay right there mill valley on the fire that we just picked up to 25 Miles Per Hour sustained. So certainly that start to get to some scary conditions. Weather wise for fires to spread rapidly, good news. Firefighters are able to stop that fire before it gets going theyll probably stay there all night long the watching make sure no embers continue to blow from that fire and start other fires in and around that area. Winds are calm right now and oakland it is calm and a hayward bit of a sea breeze still in the San Francisco, were starting to see more of the change now to the north a 24 mile an hour sustained winds now since beach to 22 Miles Per Hour. Kind of kicking around as high as 25 up to sonoma now so begin to see the changes in the atmosphere as High Pressure builds overhead and that means those winds are really going to start to blow as we head in toward tomorrow. So here we go thing setting up now is that big dome of High Pressure moves overhead. Youve got low pressure to the east weve got whats called a thermal trough develuping along the coastline. And that means all that airs falling toward that trough of low pressure and that is what is going to bring the very strong gusty winds the bay area 45, maybe 55 mile an hour gust may be over 60 Miles Per Hour very similar. 2 we had this fire conditions a couple years ago we saw that or terrible fire in the north bay. All right lets talk about the winds overnight tonight right now here we see some of the winds beginning to pick up, but as we take you through the night tonight, heres the forecast. It looks like this which is going to be more toward the east as want to see the winds inteify a parts of a napa and sonoma counties and then as we take you to the day tomorrow will notice the winds ramp up around the bay area. But the strongest gusty winds by 9 oclock tomorrow night really begin to ramp up and we start to see some callers in the red and also in a purple those winds blowing 3040 mile an hour gust, but winds going to really start to pop up around the entire bay area throughout the night.

Youre talking 35 mile an hour 32 Miles Per Hour winds in calistoga knots in the urban areas, mount tops Even Stronger than that. Those was likely to continue to intensify and probably top out right the morning on thursday morning and then it looks like that will continue into the Early Morning hours then begin to taper off as we head toward the afternoon and by lot of part of the day those winds begin to subside but re expected. Those winds going start whipping overnight tonight but i think the strongest winds will come late tonight into early tomorrow morning and then die, i should say late tonight tomorrow night into early on thursday morning and thats really second expect the peak of the gust and thats when the humidity levels guys were going to be almost desertlike around parts of the bay area that means well weve got extreme fire conditions settling in over the next couple of days.
