The temperatures over 110. Today its slightly sweltering. That extreme heat warning stays in effect up there tonight. As we go the overnight hours, though, we have this added concern, as we mentioned in the top there, that we have fire danger. A red flag warning will go into effect overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. Its mainly in the north and east bay hills, Santa Cruz Mountains, as well. Most folks probably wont notice much wind, but if the hills, they will. So this is always a dangerous pattern, especially after these low humidities. Low fuel moistures. High temperatures, after numerous days of it. So here is the model. Look at the arrows. Those are onshore, arent they . And were going to see fog back at the coast tonight. The model, im going to post the model forward. There is monday morning, or this morning, pardon me. And you see where we are now. In the blues, you see the contrast.

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
