Buildings collapse, then a tsunami brings even more devastation. Well have the latest.

We begin with a look at todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. Millions more will vote by tuesday. And i believe when you use your power to vote, well change the course of this country and the course of history. There are just three days left before election day. There will be no heating in the winter. No air conditioning in the summer and no electricity whatever the hell you want it. Right now you have it made. Youre so lucky. You are so lucky im your president. We are better than this. And we deserve better than this. The candidates race across the country fighting over votes in the battleground states.

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
Days in aruba the last two days have been just in many cases unprecedented in the bay area, check out knappe, 111 degrees, that record goes back to 1904, same with livermore, 112 that record goes back to 1904. San francisco, yesterday, broke the record that went back to 19, or 04 and was 100 degrees. This is a story that red flag warning is in effect tonight, through tomorrow morning, and into the morning evening, i wanted to share this model, this is about now, this is the model, look at the color, see the colors coming from the east and building toward the west . Right there, that is about six or seven, 8 00. Sonoma county up there in the valley area, that area will see the strongest went about 1000 feet. Also, down the Santa Cruz Mountains when you see the orange area, and the east bay hills for the focus tonight will be in the northbay, the wind, look how quickly they die down. I wish tomorrow, not much. And frankly if youre not at thousand feet even in the northbay you will not no
