Especially up in the north bay today that moisture plume is sitting a bit further out into the coast. What that means is areas further north bolton mendocino counties will see the opportunity of an isolated thunderstorm. Well we really take a step back from that in the bay area today so worrying less about any sort of heavy rain or thunderstorm but still having to worry about the heat that we are going to be seeing. 80s 90s and triple digits back in play with livermore concord antioch at one of 3 to 106 degrees. Napa and santa rosa also triple digits and upper 80s in hayward mideighties in oakland, San Francisco right at 80 degrees today. Ive got more details on what to expect right where youre at this forecast. Still ahead daria. Thanks a lot john lets get to the breaking news now for big wildfires are burning across the east bay and in the north bay this morning. They were sparked likely by lightning. Lets take a look at a map that shows you where these 4 fires are burning yeah right in the east bay absolutely will begin their the marsh a complex fires burning near the small regional world in this area in Alameda County in fact lets show you the back now. Its right there at the border alameda and Santa Clara County its been burning since sunday. I think we can bring that map up in any event farther up in Contra Costa County. The deer zone fires are burning out of control thats near mount diablo on the backside just to the east of clayton they were sparked on sunday. So heres that map and again were going back to the marsh creek fire burning again, right there in that border area between alameda and Santa Clara County in a moment, you see the map slide up here to Contra Costa County and thats where the deer zone fire is burning again its on the back side of mount diablo impacted communities east of clayton. So firefighters are working on those fires also in the north bay were looking up in napa county the hennessy fire exploded yesterday to 2400 acres in size again were near a lake hennessy and then the gamble fire which you can see up there near Lake Berryessa it broke out yesterday. So far burning 600 acres.

But they want to get a handle on this fire because is slightly east of this location, theres a chance maybe it could come down to this location. So let me show you the video this fire broke out at around 6. 30. Yesterday morning initially was only a couple 100 acres. They jumped on it as quickly as they could but just like all the other fires that we have covered over the past couple of days. Theyre happening in a ragged remote area hard to reach and that allowed the hennessy fired up quickly spread that actually at around 11 oclock in the morning. They decided to issue 2 types a warning and Evacuation Order and an evacuation warning telling people just be prepared in case the fire spreads to close to their homes are lives are eminently in danger and get ready to move out reportedly we are hearing that one structure did go up in flames right now were not hearing of any injuries firefighters, theyre still there in the overnight hours to monitor the situation and we should get an update in about 90 minutes to 2 hours from now from cal fire but we do know that it is quickly spreading through this area, 24 to 2500 acres burned likely that number will grow to get a little bit bigger once we get an update in the meantime if you live in the north bay. You are fully aware that this is almost standard practice. Were always prepared for a fire early prepare every year we we fire safer. Our structures we prepare and buildings and when things like this happen we just execute our plan to to keep it as safe end free from fires we can. The fires can be overwhelming and he just got to do the best you can.

Government matters and Leadership Matters and navigate the nations reckoning with racial injustice. We cant just say those words we have to live those words no issues playing into another theme of the evening of unity within the democratic party, the price of failure is just too great to imagine and outside of it, im sure there are republicans and independents who couldnt imagine crossing over to support a democrat. They fear, joe may turn sharp left and leave them behind. I dont believe that because i know the measure of the man the evening culminating in a sharply pointed critique of President Trump delivered by Michelle Obama her 4th and most overtly Political Convention speech donald trump is the wrong president for our country.
