Ktvu meteorologist kyla grogan is tracking conditions around the bay area. So this wind is a little late to its own party. We all expected to pick up earlier tonight. However, it is out there, its an elevation, so let me show you what im talking about. Its getting windy if you are, for example come up on mount st. Helena, where its gusting 52 miles an hour. And even notice the Oakland Hills here, i just saw a rating of 27 Miles Per Hour, so the wind is out there. It is just higher up than you might expect it to be at this hour. We come down to the surface, very different story. We are common most spot the only place that has wood is fairfield where they are gusting 35 Miles Per Hour, so i believe this is so coming away, just coming a little bit later than anticipated, so we take a look at the futurecast. This is for km. Overnight expected to be the time with the highest wind. We have 31 mile per hours napa, so lets take it to an you are waking up tomorrow still very windy as you can see with all these reds and oranges on the map pdc upwards of 30 mileperhour wind gust. That we get about the noontime hour.

Debora, is there any wind where you are . Reporter no, it still relatively calm, frank. Its been a really long day up here, though. We are told traffic was just the worst nightmare. Right now, we are in e santa rosa. We came out here to the oak moss and mount hood Regional Park area. We wanted to check those Higher Elevations on the mountains and see if the winds were rustling, and weve seen it pickup just a little bit. Everyone is now waiting and wondering if the outage is treating him. Its a soothing sound in Sonoma County right now, this generator arrived at specific market and got hooked up a week ago.

Only urgent procedures are being performed, and some incoming patients diverted to other facilities, as temps right inside. Its true with the anniversary of the wildfire being here, and when you add the reality that we are going to a planned power outage, certainly its heightened, a sense of anxiety. Reporter if anyplace has the antidote for fire and anxiety, it is coffee park, which called the Neighborhood Party for the twoyear anniversary. Ironically, this neighborhood has electricity and its rebuilt home, and they are looking ahead. Is getting people are really feeling good, despite the Power Outages, and you know, i think were just celebrating wherever we are at, wherever people are at. Reporter with so many intersections dark, Santa Rosa Police gave me an update on accidents. It is doubled now. 20 crashes since the outage began. Most days they would see just five tdot today they are exiting adding extra support teams. They have not seen an uptick in breakins, but they want to get ahead of it, and i dont know if you can hear that, but it was like a switch was thrown just a few minutes ago without a burst of wind rattling the streets here at the oak moss golf course. You will see if that continues. Back to you, frank. Going back to the accident, debora, im surprised because you would think people would know if the stop lights are out, that you treated as a four way stop. Reporter right, but some of these are like on highway 12, where we are, it is dark. Its after dark, and you are racing along, and theres no light to even remind you that was a traffic light, and there is no sign, no stop sign either. I think some people are just barreling through. I dont know that its necessarily intentional. There might some of this might be impatience, certainly, but i think in some respects its just distraction or just not paying attention. Excellent point there. Debora villalon in Sonoma County tonight. Debora, thank you. Several School District will be closed tomorrow because of the power outage.

We had a howler we, and theres nothing happening when those days, and now the weather has come out semicool, and they are going to do this .

It will go into effect when the power goes out and blackout areas. Evergreen Valley College and southeast san jose canceled class at noon, and they will be closed until further notice. Julie and frank . In morgan hill, that means when they have this, this, this thing with the pedestrian, no one can walk out on the street overnight . Reporter it is only in effect once the blackout happens, so they thought initially it was going to happen in 8 00. So far, it has not happened. Once the power goes out, yes, in the affected areas only pedestrians want be allowed to be out, and this is all in effort to curb looting and to prevent any crimes from happening as this blackout happens.
