It hits the bay bridge, but hes looking golden. The bay bridge is looking like the golden gate all looks good out there right now. What a nice day. It was a cold start the day. The afternoon. Not so bad this weekend. Weve got some fire issues. Weve got fire danger risks as well see some extremely strong gusty winds, the strongest, gusty, offshore winds weve seen of the season. So the good news is is that we have some rain already, but we havent have a real big rain event. So that kind of leaves the door open. Should a fire get started . We could still see some problems with some fires. So as we head to the weekend right now, clears can be around the bay area, looking good out there toward the golden gate bridge. I want to give you a look at the winds will roya forward to saturday and as we get into a saturday evening, you start to see those offshore winds begin to blow out of the northnortheast. See some of the strong winds over the mountain peaks but really ramps up overnight saturday night into early on sunday morning right around 04 00am or so on sunday morning or start look at gusts 40 miles an hour the mountain tops in my experience to go in probably lot storm and that the ridges here, maybe some 50, maybe even some 60 mile an hour gusts over the mountain tops. The strongest gusts are going to be the north bay mountains. It will be gusty still over parts of the east bay and many of the ridges. But i think the strongest over the mountain tops in the north bay. And then as we head in towards sunday, theres going to start to back off. But its still going to be a blustery afternoon. So fire danger is going to be elevated through that period. Not only are we going to see those gusty winds but to go along with you, get those offshore winds and you get some very dry conditions. Look at the humidity drop. Thats the amount of moisture in the atmosphere thats going to fall off as we head in toward a the evening on saturday. Youre starting to down to the teens and that will continue to decrease overnight into sunday morning. Maybe all the way down the single digits. So getting some very dry air settling a National Weather services issued fire weather watch. This will likely become a red flag warning as we head in toward tomorrow. But you can see all the bridges around the bay area from the south bay, the east and the north bay elevated fire danger throughout the weekend. Guys finally calming down as we head toward monday. All right, lawrence. And yeah, theyre saying be careful. Thats the message as well. From the National Weather Service Starting saturday through the weekend.

The future happens in California First and he says its already happening. Noting as of last spring, more than 1. 5 million zero emission vehicles have already been sold in california.

The Newsom Administration says so far there are more than 90,000 charter statewide. But a recent government report found by the end of the decade, california will need 1. 2 million to keep up with them. And that in part is why republicans say they believe the governors goals are unrealistic. There is no plan all. Pie in the sky. Thats all high. And thats exactly what Governor Newsom does.
