Meteorologist Lawrence Karnow about those fire dangers. Lawrence yeah, this kind of leading right into that right we have some extreme heat over these last couple of days and. These were some kind of records around the bay area that you rarely see but here we go a 112 today are recorded in Livermore Napa coming 111 also a record one 10 record in santa rosa richmond, how about that inside the bexar 107 degrees. A 107 also in redwood city and a 106 degrees in canfield and were not done there weve got more records 96 that was a record in oakland today, San Francisco International Airport 97 degrees a record in gilroy 112 degrees but all around the bay area. Extremely hot conditions and this comes on a day where we had extremely hot weather just yesterday. The only place that we saw some changes was right along the coastline. You see the 70s very comfortable in Half Moon Bay and instead of triple digit heat in San Francisco. It was 91 degrees but everywhere else was certainly very very hot now things are beginning to shift gears in the atmosphere. High pressure want to start to make its way back in across the bay kicking in behind that are low pressure thats going to move just east of colorado in fact its unlikely snow in colorado tomorrow. But because that drew system moves the east High Pressure builds in and now we start to see that north northeasterly wind that is the very dry offshore wind as that air sinks it approaches the coastline really dries out and heats up guess what weve got high fire danger and some gusty winds are likely to go along with that in fact the National Weather service has issued a red flag warnings up through the Santa Cruz Mountains above a 1000 feet also the east bay hills and the diablo range above a 1000 feet could see winds gusting 30 the 45 Miles Per Hour. That comes on top of that record he very dangerous fire conditions i think over the next couple of days slama county youre looking at 25 to 40 mile an hour winds across the entire bay area so that certainly a concern for them and then you get a little further north i think this could be the worst in the north bay above a 1000 you get to mount and get some higher peaks, mount saint lena going to see some very strong gusty winds 35 to 45 Miles Per Hour. Maybe gusts in excess of 50 to 60 Miles Per Hour across some of the highest peaks in the bay area. So certainly not good news, but watch what happens here latest in the forecast to show you the winds begin to pick up watch all the colors just pour into the bay area that is impressive that north northeast wind. These winds down in the urban areas into the 30s almost 36 miles an hour. And then you get in the upper mountains here were talking winds gusting over 40 Miles Per Hour looks like itll strengthen overnight tonight and ease up a little bit during the day still blustery throughout the day and then only to pick up again i think tomorrow night but tonight will be the strongest gust in the early tomorrow morning and certainly fire danger is going to be running extremely high humidity is down into the Single Digits over the next couple of days all right lawrence pg and e meantime started shutting off power in parts of 22 counties just about an hour ago they include these 3 bay area counties napa sonoma.

The doctors and nurses around the country are preparing for a fight against flu season and covid all at the same time as of the cohen explains why getting a flu shot this year is more important than ever for keeping you and your loved ones healthy as possible. Last year, no regrets no body likes getting a shot, but this year its more important than because this year were going to have not just flu. But also covid19 i am worried. I do think the fall in the winter of 2020 in 2021, im going to probably one of the most difficult times that weve experienced is the american Public Health. This year, theres not one not 2, but 3 reasons to get yourself a flu shot number one it will decrease the chances that youll get the flu or if you do get the flu, youll get a milder case. Number 2 you wont spread the flu to other people. Number 3 you wont end up taking up a hospital bed that someone else like a covid patient would need. And if you get sick getting the right diagnosis could be tough. We will be able to distinguish immediately between whether somebody has flu or whether somebody has covid. Flu vaccine manufacturers have ramped up production making 10s of millions more doses than last season and there are 2 new flu vaccines designed to protect older people who are especially vulnerable to the virus that this child right and this is right and 4 children the Trump Administration last month authorize pharmacists to administer the flu shot to children ages 3 and older hopefully this upcoming flu season will end up being relatively tame in the Southern Hemisphere where flu season is now ending theyve had a pretty easy season. Many of the physical distancing and Public Health and social measures that have been put in place which keep keeps people apart. May have actually played a role in reducing circulation of influenza. Even if that happens in the northern hemisphere, though its still a good idea to get a flu shot to keep you and those around you as healthy as possible.

This labor day the spotlight is on jobs. We really celebrate. The American Worker we are in the midst of the fastest economic recovery and the u. S. History. So we have a lot to be thankful for an april during the height of the coronavirus pandemic the United States lost more than 20 million jobs since President Trump now touting a stronger economy weve added. A record setting 10. 6 million jobs since may. Democratic nominee joe biden says thats not enough. Long a stock market is doing great. Everything ok sir you have everybody else it can climb are millions of people still have trouble making ends meet. In are in desperate need of benefits we want to help. Businesses that are particularly impacted by this and will continue to work on proposed new legislation yet congress and the white house are at a standstill over the next round of stimulus funding there is no question that donald trump has been an abject failure and incompetent. When it comes to addressing the severe job loss that has happened as a result of the pandemic despite the pandemic and protests over Racial Injustice polls reflect a race that has barely budged which is why both campaigns are targeting key battleground states like wisconsin hello, wisconsin. Vice president mike pence a senator Kamala Harris are spending labor day and pennsylvania where biden met with labor leaders unions built no class still President Trump believes focusing on the economy may be the ticket to keep him in the white house under my leadership next year will be.
