High wind. Nbc sharon is live in the north bay where most of the Power Outages happened and bob redell is where a tree came down. First, we start with meteorologist kari hal. We have seen high wind gusts the past 24 hours. A live look outside. I want to take you to the mountains where winds have been gusting up to 89 Miles Per Hour where we measured late last night. We have also had high wind gusts in the sierra. Looking from alpine meadows, a live view, we measured 94mileperhour gust in the sierra. Temperature is only 34 degrees with relative humidity at 11 . So these high winds going along with this critically dry air is a reason why we still had this high fire danger as the wind advisory will be expiring here soon. Looking at the rest of the bay area, we have seen our wind gusts maxing out at 40 Miles Per Hour in santa rosa. Concord 31. 31 in San Francisco and 57 in oakland so a lot of trees down and a lot to clean up today and we will continue to track those winds. Ill have another
Kari, you have had sky ranger to look out for and track downed power lines. It looks like its over off the shoulder there right around high street, coming up in through the Oakland Hills where highway 13 got a wind advisory from chp. Well watch for the traffic moving smoothly. At least part of a tree down inside this freeway. Outside the bay bridge toll plaza in the east bay and the oakland area metering lights turned on earlier than necessary because of the volume. I think theyre keeping folks on the shoreline to keep volume on the span lighter as we look at the map. That would make things easier to handle if there are problems. High wind advisory reported for many of the spans there and this traffic incident is the only problem because of the crash over into sunol and west 84, around the ge plant and that may be clearing lanes right now. Back over to you, kris. This morning about 225,000 pg e customers are without power across northern california. Look at the map. The north bay and e
Skies blanket the bay area from dawn till dusk. Thanks for joining u. S. Attorney and everybody high Vicki Liviakis and im grant lotus certainly surreal lot of people saying these ominous skies were in a way stunning yet certainly. Unsettling to wake up to hard to know what time it was all day long want to check in first with our chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow. Obviously everyones wondering lawrence is going to happen again tomorrow. Yeah i think well start to see some improvement tomorrow were not going to see asked smoky conditions around the bay area but certainly. Theyll still be some smoke out there we had those north northeasterly winds remember were talking about the high fire danger yesterday, were worried about the real gusty winds. Well, those winds didnt cause or sparking fires around the bay area but we did have a fires that were already burning in far Northern California up you county near paradise they another fire burning there the bear fire lot of smoke filtering i
Look at still winds across the region all the smoke is going to start start to settle down in the bay and that means worsening air quality likely over the next couple of days that smoke is of being pushed anywhere because winds have calmed down so much right now were in the 50s and 60s for your current temperatures with a word in oakland at 63. Concord and Fairfield Beach at 58 while dublin and livermore 57 to kick off this morning. As we look at wind speeds across the bay area you see how calm things are that northerly flow that brought us the smoke, its all but gone at this point. Now we just have a weak onshore. Wind that is pushing in just a touch of fog at the coast. That likely has a bit of smoke imbedded in as well as we do look at calm winds that smoke is it going to be pushed anywhere else so now its just settled right here in the bay area meaning likely to be hazy skies well through the afternoon. These hazy skies. Theyre going to keep temperatures cool way cooler than we hav
Through was just yellow and orange hues thats all that we saw pretty much all day long yesterday for most of the bay area now the big question everyone is asking is will it look like that again today well heres a live look from your berkeley cam right here and you can obviously still see that we do have an orange glow to it out there whether that were in just as intense as yesterday remains to be seen. But what we will see is a lot of smoke out there so we are going to have an impact with at least hazy and darker skies than usual as of right now we are seeing poor air quality for much of the north bay in the east bay, still some moderate conditions holding on a little bit closer to the coast in fact are impact as yesterday as compared is pretty similar. We have a thin marine layer just as we did yesterday for parts of the bay. We also still have smoke sitting right above us so we do have similar conditions as to what yesterday brought us and obviously that brought us a lot of orange a
