I said august what i would hope he hasnt kicked in yet august october theyre both possible dry, but still 20 yy though its its easy to get confused. I mean it still feels like the middle of been especially today, daytime highs will be triple digits for many areas. And were still looking at very high fire danger in the vicinity of the glass fire we are seeing relatively calm winds this morning we more favorable conditions yesterday for the firefight but unfortunately that does take a bit of a turn today as we see hotter temperatures increased winds and very dry humidity. All things that add up to increase fire danger danger today. You are seeing in this deeper red red flag warnings, especially noteworthy in the north bay, but also on the peninsula and upper elevations of the east bay in addition to that heat advisories really lighting up the rest of the bay area as daytime highs are likely to be shattering records 15 to 25 degrees above average for this time of year. Winds may be calm right now and will remain calm into the afternoon but tonight with wind speeds picking up thats where the concern lies here santa rosa and nevado looking at wind speeds gusting into a range of 20 to 25 Miles Per Hour at times and upper elevations will be exposed to even higher wind gusts that could result in further spread of blazes such as the glass fire and has crews very concerned for evening hours tonight. As far as air quality goes robin mentioned it is well we have pour conditions with in fact very poor air quality conditions in that deep red on the peninsula at the coast south bay into the east bay and then especially into the north bay with our worst of air quality in northern portions of napa and solano counties this morning. Daytime highs today tough to look at will be back in the 90s for San Francisco and for those of us at the coast to 70s and 80s are most comfortable weather. But still pretty warm early game at 99 and triple digits back for san mateo san carlos and woodside near triple digits in redwood city at 98 Degrees South bay temperatures in the upper 90s to triple digits for you same for the east bay with 90s to triple digits for inland valleys and even in bayside areas like san leandro in Castro Valley 100 degrees for highs today oakland at 94 conquered at one o 4 well vacaville and Fairfield Beach at one o 3 santa rosa and petaluma at a 104 degrees today. So you can see why fire danger is so high today winds pick up tonight into early tomorrow morning after which point winds calm down temperatures also starting to calm down a bit. Well be back down into the 90s for most of our men city starting tomorrow and by next week there is relieved with highs back into the 80s inland and 70s by the bay but not this scorcher of a first day of october.
