Now watch from the east up around sacramento. Watch these orange colors start to come in overnight tonight. Right there. See that filling in . Midinsightmidnight . And then here about 6 00 a. M. This is above 1,000 feet. Most people wont notice much wind, but its a dangerous wind in that theres fire. And the orange area adown the Santa Cruz Mountains, that area will see some wind and also the east bay hills. That looks like the worst spot, it will be that north bay. Im not expecting 70 mile an hour winds. Im thinking a few hours of winds around 25 to 35 miles per hour, and then quickly, by tomorrow afternoon, the winds slow down. Okay . So its worth keeping an eye on, because any wind in this pattern is scary. Ask well have a spare the air alert tomorrow. The air quality will not get better until those fires go out. When i come back, julie, well look at the forecast highs and some of those records. It is miserable out there now. Thank you, bill. The extreme heat sent people in San Fran

Extremely hot conditions and this comes on a day where we had extremely hot weather just yesterday. The only place that we saw some changes was right along the coastline. You see the 70s very comfortable in Half Moon Bay and instead of triple digit heat in San Francisco. It was 91 degrees but everywhere else was certainly very very hot
Air pushing on in your windows if you open and i would say you probably should because its going to be another hot afternoon today, and its going to be a hot and windy one this time around so this is where fire danger comes into play a lot of the bay area specially or upper elevations with up in red flag warning says were going to be seeing dry conditions hot weather paired with winds in the east bay gusting as high as 30 to 45 Miles Per Hour an hour.
