Glass fire is already burning but theres also extreme fire danger in the east bay hills in Santa Cruz Mountains. Our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow is here is tracking these dangerous fire conditions for us tonight. In joins us with the latest lawrence the ad guys looks like this is going to be more of an extended event now not just for tonight, but i think again by tomorrow evening going to likely see these winds get very gusty in parts in and around the glass fire so watch for that very closely red flag warnings now posted not only in the north bay, but in the Santa Cruz Mountains again, the looking at high fire danger. Theyre expecting some strong gusty winds moving across the Santa Cruz Mountains maybe 10 to 20 mile an hour winds maybe gusting to about 30 humidity down 10 to 20 . So certainly very dry out there the east bay Oakland Hills watch out above a 1000 feet some very gusty winds 10 to 20 mile an hour maybe gusting high as 30 humidity even lower down to 10 to about 15 . And in the north bay very gusty winds. And thats the major concern certainly as we already have a fire going here right now going to see those winds blowing over that 15 to 25 Miles Per Hour maybe gusting as high as 35 Miles Per Hour now these winds are going to be coming mainly out of the north northeast and as they do that is going to be concerned for tonight were seeing that you see the winds blowing around out there right now over the last 12 hours nothing too strong yet but expected to pick up. Were seeing some of that right now in fact look at the glen allen, a 13 mile an hour winds right now 10 in the out bill 12 in the po valley so start to see these winds pick up expecting to see that happen over the next few hours and then looks like things are going to subside overnight late night tonight early tomorrow morning only to come back again you see right here as we head through the night, the winds begin to pick up just a little bit some 20 mile hour gusts, certainly a possibility then they begin to calm down tomorrow and then by the evening look at the colors begin to show up you see all the yellows and the orange very gusty winds, even the santa rosa that gusting to 22 Miles Per HourEven Stronger gusts expected over the mountain tops very dangerous fire conditions over the next 36 hours. Thank you lawrence, another small wildfire did spark this morning in napa county near the town of young fail officials are telling us that. Campbell fire is now contained fortunately it did start just before 9. 30 this morning on oakville grade about 5 miles north of young feel. Crews were immediately dispatched when the fire started it burned just a few acres before it was fully contained the mayor of young field tells us those firefighting efforts were complicated by the glass fire burning nearby. Air quality is very pour the visibility is extremely por and so thats thats complicating some of the fire fight i think the air assets are challenges to be able to get up in this kind of condition so so you know these are anxious times. The cause of that fire is not clear at this time while the glass fire has now burned more than 56,000 acres, it is up to 5 containment. The fire destroyed more than 288 homes so far and napa and sonoma counties more than 26,000 other homes and buildings remain threatened tonight, the cause of this fire is still being investigated.
