The backup is pretty long it goes back to the bottom of the maze and thats normal for this time of mourning, but at least you dont have any problems or crashes in the mix to add to the slow traffic so were up to 14 minutes and thats still a really good drive into San Francisco with no big problems right now were checking on highway 4 because i just got word of a crash in pittsburgh on the westbound direction thats the commute side. So thats bumping up their drive time to 25 minutes thats no longer highway 4. But this is a beautiful shot of the city right now to overview of San Francisco for coming up well check in on some more bridges star ian james and well see how the traffic is moving around the bay area back to you all right, thanks lets get back to our Team Coverage than of the red flag warning is in effect again for a big part of the bay area, yeah, high winds low humidities high temperatures all of that working together to make it. A reality for folks, especially in San Mateo County where kron 4 Sarah Stinson. Is standing by sarah. You know we keep talking about dry fuel and this is what were talking about it is extremely dry. Its crinkly when you walk on it and look its behind me right here in San Mateo County and really all across the bay area its this combined with those high winds and if one spark hits it. It ignites a wildfire and that is the biggest concern right now take a look at this map. So you can see across the bay area all in red that is the area those are the areas that are involved in this red flag warning and that is including San Mateo County where im at as well as the north bay mountains east bay hills and interior valleys as well as the Santa Cruz Mountains in San Mateo County coast. We have more winds had in the forecast up in the mountains and ridges of up to 10 to 25 Miles Per Hour gusts up to 40 Miles Per Hour valleys could see gusts up to 35 Miles Per Hour and the coast could see gusts up to 40 that combined with those dry just talking about cars potential for a fire to sparked easier and then spread more rapidly theres also a fire weather watch in effect until tomorrow. This red flag warning is went into effect last night at 10 00pm and then it goes until tomorrow. But ive been looking at john forecast and if you have to you winds are only going to increase throughout the weekend. So i expect this red flag warning could be extended throughout the weekend best to be prepared for worstcase scenario so get that go bag ready and to everything you can to prevent fire from sparking reporting live in San Mateo CountySarah Stinson kron 4 news all right, thanks for the update. Sarah. Well the other part of the big story to that were following is the power impacts thousands of people across the bay area are waiting to see if theyre going to lose power during this next round of pg e power shutoffs video here showing pg e crews hard at work kron fours will tran is standing by for us in napa county this morning where folks there are preparing as well well. As many as 3700 customers could be without power in just a few hours are now many people. They know all too well not having power. I chose this location outside of st. Alina because its pg any base camp you could see. They have taken over this feel theyve been or 4 weeks theyll look at how busy. They are the glass fire continues to burn even though its 100 contained. These people are trained to re store power restore the infrastructure wiped out from the fires and then there are those who are going around possibly over the next couple of hours to turn off the power. Along the grid, so it does not start another wildfire, so right on point james about they are very busy at this time and napa county 3700 is not about not excuse me 3200 not as bad as what we projected yesterday at around 4300. But nonetheless the clock is taking on those people in Alameda County about 335 customers and then in Contra Costa County about 200 altogether 15 counties about 37,000 customers as pg e is trying not to start another wildfire. Because when the winds pick up the lions could go down and that could spark the dry fields into another tinder box weve got a chance to talk to customers. My goodness they have been through so much and in a few hours from now they could go through a little bit more. Without power i have no water. Dont know electricity so. Its not fun for people up there. What theyre going through he just lived through whether we have to live through. And then. Hope it all goes back to normal someday. And all depends on the winds james and area right now its not too windy. But if it takes out then they will send out a text alert. Letting customers know a certain amount of time from that point forward their lights could be out its not a guarantee ive gotten those text as well and it does not mean that it will happen is just a heads up. Now if your power is out. They will not be able to turn it on immediately is not like flipping on us which they still have to expect their whole system making sure that the lines are not damage the transformers our fine then and only then will they be able to turn on the switch the power so to speak and that could be about a 12 hour window, so you have to be patient. A lot of people. We did this story yesterday right remember that a lot of people are running out and just buying generators, they are tired. I rely on the gm. I mean if they can find them i know they are in short supply, thank you very much well and dont forget you can track the latest on the power shut off any time with the kron 4 app youll also find full forecast theyre interactive radar.

Now of course the sun is up and were seeing it here in the studio help you know what to wear john yeah, very important just looking out the window helps little bit much more and we are seeing sunshine for areas like the bay bridge of course little bit of fog elsewhere though this timber on view not quite as Crystal Clear as herb a bid bridgeview is right now. Thats because there is the presence of some marine layer bit closer to the coast. Timber on is not the only spot where youre seeing some of that fog areas like Half Moon Bay to which is actually good news because Half Moon Bay are under red flag warning right now as winds pick up this afternoon so any sort of marine moisture is going to be helping you out as much as possible. Right now the winds are breezy us further north and the east in the bay towards vacaville in calistoga or 2 of her breezier spots right now later on today notice, how wind speeds pick up not just for inland spots, but all the way out to the coast, happen bay later today, 90 mile per hour gusts regularly and what were going to be seeing out there is not just a windy day tomorrow either but on into tomorrow Night Saturday night and eventually into sunday night leading into monday morning. Now the concern here is even though temperatures are cooling down these consistently windy conditions only going to get windier and windy or towards the finish the weekend and by monday morning look at this areas like oakland tobaccoville calistoga in San Francisco, seeing winds gusting. Well up to 50 Miles Per Hour at times this is still a few days away, but if projections and modeling actually come to fruition.

Today we are under red flag warnings continually for upper elevations of the Santa Cruz Mountains out towards the coast, upper elevations of both marin and sonoma counties all of lakes a and most of napa county and then all of and east bay too very similar to where weve been the past couple of days as of right now these are except to expire tomorrow night would not be surprised to single bit to see many of these extended through the weekend and maybe even into early next week. So the reason were cooling down despite the winds High Pressure is easing off as a low pressure area starts to plummet into the region along with this low some pretty strong winds out of the north west these will be cooler winds than what we had been seeing so there is good news in that regard.
