Alright scary as were going to see those winds make a return to the bay area, the winds. Going to be stronger now weve had the effect of that sea breeze kicking in some higher humidity in around the fires to kind of slow things down now very dry northerly wind is going to start to move in and gusting 15 to 25 Miles Per Hour humidity dropping way down 15 to 25 . So certainly were watching that very closely. Weve got active fires already right now and certainly in and around those are going to be very dangerous right now the winds are beginning to pick up a little bit were starting to see a turn out some of those winds more of a northerly component the winds you see there in glen ellen also in the sonoma up to 12 Miles Per Hour soda springs atlas peak.

We go thursday 6 oclock in the evening, start to see those winds picking up these are downs on the urban areas over the mountain top so its going to be stronger than that watch the colors begin to fill in you start to see the yellow here you look up to our scale gusting over 20 Miles Per Hour maybe with some 30 mile an hour gusts in around some of these canyons here but its going to be pushing the fire thats already here in place its going to be pushing it further south watch out and saying only in a rather for all the way down to yell bill the fire is likely going to be headed in your direction that looks like those winds begin to subside but not till after midnight and then the following a day it looks like those winds switched directions again coming out of the west and picking up so certainly place like england you have to watch out for more fire troubles by friday evening guys back to well it has now been almost 48 hours since the entire town of calistoga has been evacuated and while winds were calm today and that was good there are renewed concerns as weve been talking about.

Time now check our forecast, a red flag warning is being issued for the glass fire area starting tomorrow afternoon along with a flex alert starting at 3 pm until 10 00pm. Chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow is here lawrence thats not even to mention what these high winds could do to the fires currently that are burning and also the decreasing. Air quality which is a factor so much you can really see that smoke begin to make its way in across the rest the bay area the win that started to shift directions and youll see right here the very latest a few hours in the north bay you can see some of those winds started to come out of the north pushing that smoke from the fire all the way back in across the rest the bay area certainly thats going to be a problem for everybody else. But boy the conditions just getting a very bad as were going to see the winds begin to pick up we see a little bit this afternoon the glen ellyn you see 12 mile hour winds out of the north northwest 12 also on the west at 10 and the awful remember some of these winds going to twisted around some of these can use some of these mountainous regions in and around this area, but the predominant wind is going to be shifting more of a northerly direction and that is when thats going to cause a lot of problems especially in around that fires likely see some gusts over 20 maybe 25 Miles Per Hour maybe some 30 mile an hour gusts in some of those canyons heres the forecast for some of those winds overnight tonight actually likely going to calm down but more of a northerly component you see that start to settle in as we head toward tomorrow morning. Then as we head through the day tomorrow, you know those winds begin to pick up by tomorrow evening think that will be the really the brunt of these winds will be tomorrow evening between about 6 and about 1010 30 tomorrow night and then the winds going to shift directions again so all of us and that fire is going to be moving to the south by tomorrow night and then its going to shift to the west and push to the east as were going to see those winds coming now the west by tomorrow night. So certainly that fire is going to be moving around humidity is also going to be dropping off those north winds really shut off any chance of moisture coming in off the ocean water and that means we get very very dry and so by tomorrow were talking about 20 maybe 30 in some spots may be down about 15 in and around the fire. So certainly dangerous fire conditions. It looks like that fire could spread rapidly by specially tomorrow night. Lawrence. Meantime coming up tonight at 6. 45 we.

Well watch these temperatures spike this is all part of that same ridge of High Pressure thats been sitting over head brought us the hot weather in the offshore winds last weekend see another round now as we head in toward tomorrow, we start to see that northerly component the winds and you see all that smoke all that is out there just looking filthy out over San Francisco right now as the smoke from the fire has moved in the east bay kind of start to see that orange glow in the atmosphere, the sun is getting ready to set showing right through all the particular matter there from the smoke. Settling in over the bay tonight and up toward the golden gate bridge. You see some of that smoke there in the background but along the coastline have been spared. A lot of the smoke so far from those fires in fact out there right now weve got poor air quality inside the bay as you might expect very unhealthy years you get in the concord you get into the delta in the Central Valley and back along the coastline. Weve had enough of a breeze that kept the air quality pretty good up toward the beaches but things are going to shift again tomorrow. I think that northerly winds start to strengthen that is going to bring with them or very unhealthy air expected across much of the north bay poor air quality inside the bay for tomorrow all the way down in the san jose unhealthy in the live more in concord sam ramon, while moderate amounts of smoking makes a way out toward the coastline.
