With winds. Consistently all morning long having been to that 30 mile per hour range while 20 mile per hour wind gusts down into the east bay and even right along the coast in Half Moon Bay. As i mentioned winds do gradually afternoon, this is by 02 30pm right here. Definitely a noticeable difference but this is also going to be our peak temperature hours of the day. So still some high fire danger even with that lighter breeze winds continue to come into the evening tonight and leading into tomorrow for a much calmer rest of the weekend just around the corner. Now 70s and 80s are some of our current temperatures look at alameda right at 80 degrees to start this morning. Were already off to a pretty warm start for a lot of areas in this sets us up for just a downright hot afternoon, 90s and even if you triple digits, inland with solid 90s right along the bay and 80s for coastal areas.

Turning from grass to also some oaks that could be burning and, of course, the likelihood of some of the embers going from oak tree to oak tree is definitely with us and you can see how much smoke is putting out at the current hour with how dry the fuels are right now. Its already, again, up to nearly 500 acres. We likely could see this grow to 1,000, maybe even 2,000 acres just because of our drought thats in place. Winds right now out of west southwest at 15 to 30 Miles Per Hour.

That would keep the smoke away from livermore, but if youre doing any traveling on interstate 580, maybe even the 205 tonight, thats where you could be impacted by th

Luckily, luckily we have plenty of riggs. Good friends that came and family and they all rushed in when they saw smoke coming from the hills. By 9 00 tonight, some 2500 Hundred Acres burned and 250 firefighters on the front lines. Trying to get ahead of the fire. Back there, you have seen a couple of structures that are burned and the crews were able to take three of them. But one structure burned. We did lose one uninhabited structure and saved other structures. Aggressive fire, and fast offing. Its wind driven. And topography driven as well. Thats the worst kind of fire to fight, crews let some of the trees burn. The Rodriguez Family is grateful to have a home to sleep in tonight. They saved our house.
