For these on and off mountain gusts of 30 to 50 miles per hour. Sustained winds, 10 to 20. So no big change on this forecast. Im still pinning the best possibility of these higher gusts right here over portions of the north bay, the mountains near calistoga, saint helena and also for napa. So through tonight as we hit 11 00, youll see the zone here. The strongest winds in the red to magenta color just outside of napa and calistoga. All of this new fire danger comes on top of what has already been a recordsetting year. So far 4 million acres burned this year alone. Ill take a look more at that extended forecast coming up in about 18 minutes. All right. See you soon. Thanks so much, je
