Joining us now chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow who is here to tell us why this could be another tough week for folks as we try to avoid a situation like that firestone yes certainly a scary we can get a stay on your guard. So we really see that rain moving in to change everything but of course last year we had dropped condition, we just didnt have enough rain but 6 of the last 10 years weve been under drought and that adds up over time youve got dying brush and tree limbs all kinds of things building up in the forest floor and then you get critical fire conditions and then here we go right now we remain under a severe drought at least most of the bay area here in the shade of brown you get to the red and fairfield to get up to napa sonoma. Theyre nationally extreme drought conditions, so things extremely dry in the force right now and now were looking at your offshore weather patterns pretty typical of this time of year you get those offshore winds developing and thats what were going to see again another round of the strong offshore winds and i think its going to be on and off not just over the next couple days. I think on and off for maybe the next 7 maybe 10 days so theyre going to be periods where we go through some very gusty winds and higher fire danger and that will calm down. Then well get front drop over the top of that ridge that ridge a bill back in and those winds will kick up again in fact think it was going to be a lot stronger as we head toward the middle of the week right now weve got some areas that are shaded in brown here these under a watch right now National Weather service is expecting the winds to pick up as we head toward the middle week i think well see that especially wednesday into thursday some those gusts 25 to 35 miles an hour over the Santa Cruz Mountains humidity down 15 to 20 east bay hills above a 1000 feet double range, youre looking at some very gusty winds developing their of 2030 miles an hour maybe 4050 mile an hour gusts across some of the mountain peaks Solano County the kind of split here the south here in the brown here that is under the current watch as we get into wednesday will likely become a warning but then in the northern half to get the vacaville you get to dixon currently under red flag warning starting tonight at 11 oclock expecting some gusty winds there and of course the north bay expecting some strong gusty winds 2540 mile per hour winds that warning goes into effect starting tonight continue until 8 oclock on wednesday. But i think were basically at a red flag warnings for at least the next 7 days maybe more little winds as we take into the night tonight and those that start to pick up especially in the north bay mountains as we head toward 00 30am in the morning or so on tuesday, then we get a little bit of a break only to see the really ramp up as we get into thursday thats when i think were going to see a real serious wind event well see some of those gusts over 40 plus miles an hour not only in the north bay youll see it over the east bay hills youll see it in the Santa Cruz Mountains parts of san mateo and that will continue another burst of those winds expected to move in on friday, so things a little scary over the next 7 days maybe even 10 days we need to get some rain in here right now unfortunately guys theres no rain in sight.
