Monday. It was noisy last night due to the winds. Thats part of the equation for the red flag warning. Outside the Santa Clara Valley were still dealing with the potential of damaging winds through at least 11 00 this morning. Now, you factor in drier air thats rolling in after 11 00, thats why we have the red flag warning thats going to extend until 5 00. It does not include the Santa Clara Valley. Youre missing out on both of these. The San Francisco bay shore and San Francisco also not in the red flag warning. Lets look at the winds right now, up in the Higher Elevations, still pushing well over 40 Miles Per Hour. Weve been up around 50 and 60 during the night. Thats why its been noisy in some neighborhoods. Down at the surface, seeing 37 at Half Moon Bay. 33 at fairfield. 24 in San Francisco. 31 in santa rosa. This is also going to help us push into record territory this afternoon from 66 in Half Moon Bay to 74 today in santa rosa and also in antioch i should say also in fairfield. Now, we have issues at our beaches and the potential fire threat in the sevenday forecast. Thats coming up. Here is reggie with more on todays red flag warning. All right. Thank you. Bay area firefighters were busy this weekend preparing for the potential fire danger that is stretching into today. Red flag warnings in december are rare. The last one happened in 2017. So with winds through tonight, firefighters are remaining vigilant. I dont think any of us thought we would be upstaffing and moving into a red flag and wind advisory for december. Its not typical for the bay area. The concern for winds like this, they will likely bring trees down. Pg e planned Public Safety power shutoffs across Northern California today but since the winds shifted a bit the utility opted to cancel most of those. No one in the bay area is expected to lose power. Four bay area counties are under a stayathome order this morning. Its a proactive measure aimed to help stop the spread of covid19. The order is in effect in alameda, contra costa, santa clara and San Francisco counties. Marin will join tomorrow. The counties are getting ahead of the states guidance which says they will reach that level because the icu level is at 15 . The lockdown is prompting changes that will last until january 4th at least. Theres no more indoor or outdoor dining. Restaurants can only do takeout and delivery. Hair and nail salons are no longer able to operate. Longer operate. There are no more indoor religious services. Capacity at Grocery Stores can be 20 . Wineries, Entertainment Centers and playgrounds are closed. While hiking trails are still open, parks, museums, campgrounds, Visitor Centers all closed. The impact of the order on your health and the economy are important to abc7 as we work to build a better bay area. Abc7 News ReporterJulian Glover is live at san pedro square in san jose. I though theres some mixed reactions to this. Julian . Yeah. Certainly some mixed reaction here, kumasi, as many bay area counties including Santa Clara County jumped the gun ahead of the state to try to save lives here. Once again its closing time for these businesses in Santa Clara County. Many of them in the south bay hoping they will be able to reopen doors on the other side of what will hopefully be the governors final stayathome order. We were out in san jose yesterday with people taking in the last of 2020. The last hair cut, the last chance to dine out at an outdoor patio for the year. Restaurants were busy taking down dining now open signs as they once again shift to carry out and delivery only. The situation more dire for hair salons and barbershops. The owner of oh Beauty Studio in san jose already five months behind on her rent. If this closing kept happening, i cant afford to pay rent. I might have to close down my business and take the loss. I dont think that closing is the answer. I think having stiff guidelines would be far better than that. We heard from some folks over at mr. And mrs. Hair salon where cuts went late into the night. There were questions about the latest stayathome orders effectiveness. Reporting live in san jose this morning, Julian Glover, abc7 news. Thank you. Not all of the bay area counties are implementing this early stayathome order. The counties in blue, napa, solano, san mateo and will be able to operate until the icu beds reach 15 . The bay area average is 24 icu capacity. Some San FranciscoSmall Business owners protested the citys new stayathome order in front of city hall. Pfizers vaccine could be approved within days.

We have an issue with sneaker waves and rip currents through 5 00 this afternoon. But then look what happens from 5 00 this afternoon to 5 00 tomorrow afternoon. Long westerly swell, 25foot breakers, powerful waves that will run up dangerous surf, even more so than what were dealing with most of today. So thats why you want to stay away from the water the next 36 hours or so. Heres santa cruz, immune from that right now. Your activity planner for today, if youre out exercising, be vigilant. We have the high fire danger. If youre out on the bay, it will be windy and choppy and that danger at our beaches. Maybe its a good day to study at home and work from home. At least he would know its safer there. Lets talk more about that commute and get jobina in here. Good morning, everybody. We will start off with a live look showing the bay bridge toll plaza. I have a couple things to talk about with the bay bridge toll plaza. The chp issued a high wind advisory for the bay bridge. Metering lights are on. Let me check out that time there. Metering lights came on at 5 53 this morning. But we also have a semi stalled in one of the lanes on the upper deck of the bay bridge. For people coming into San Francisco, you might run into a slowdown there. Want to move over to a live look showing off the san mateo bridge here. We have looks like i think well bring up the san mateo bridge. Im not sure. I wanted to check in on traffic there and tell you it is moving. Now you can see it. Live look here.

The woman who fell into a vent on the side of the active volcano is talking about good morning america. Carolyn sunbum was skiing down the volcano on friday when she plunged 15 feet into a vent on the side of a volcano that was emitting Carbon Dioxide and water. I was terrified. Very concerned that the snow was going to fall in on me and suffocate me. A bystander saw her fall, pulled her out with a rope. She hurt her shoulder, otherwise shes okay. She said it could have been much worse if she didnt have a mel me helmet on. Shes explain what other precautions she took coming up on gma after abc7 mornings. I have been to mounthood several times. I didnt know you could fall into it. In it. She dislocated her shoulder. Couldnt pop it back in. She went through a lot. Wow. Skiing on a slightly active volcano . Shouldnt there be a sign up . Something. You would think so. Theres a sign for everything. Thats true. Good point, kumasi. Im glad shes okay. Never thought of that. That might be fun. Skiing on a volcano. No . Okay. The you can see the south bay is immune from the red flag warning, at least in the lower elevation, while the rest of us have to deal with those dangers. Record warmth possible today and tomorrow. Fire concerns could creep back into the forecast wednesday night into thursday. Keeping an eye on this. This is all too familiar so far this rain season. Look at that Atmospheric River which is missing us once again. It will cause flooding to the north. Theyll have too much rain. If we could just tap into a bit of that, take the flooding away from them, get rid of the fire danger for us, its not happening. Its feast or famine right now. You can see as we head through the morning, were up to very high fire index danger across the north bay. The rest of us are high. Over the next couple of hours, well be high in the befo beforementioned areas, while the north bay could go up to extreme. Getting to 5 00, you can see things starting to calm down. During the overnight hours, the fire threat will be minimized. Lets talk about the byproduct of this dry air and breezes. When air moves from Higher Elevation to lower elevation, it tends to compress and heat. Near record highs today. Low to mid 70s out there. Only places like livermore, lake port and Half Moon Bay in parts of the peninsula in the mid to upper 60s. Tonight will be cooler than this morning with the lack of breezes out there and the dry air. Mid to upper 30s in the deepest inland valleys. Low to upper 40s for the bay and out towards the coast. My accuweather 7day forecast, with a cooler start tomorrow. Highs near record territory. We have a cooler afternoon wednesday, wednesday night into thursday, watching another fire threat, Nothing Official just quite yet from the National Weather service as far as the advisory or warning. As we head into saturday and sunday, expect more cloud cover, a bit above average temperatures, just a slight chance saturday night into sunday of some light showers. So light no storm impact scale once again in the sevenday forecast. Back to you. Have a good day. Thank you. Well turn to ginger zee with a live look at whats coming up on gma at 7 00. Good morning.

Our winds are barely making it into that threshold that you can see this morning. Up to 30 Miles Per Hour to 50 Miles Per Hour. By 9 00, theyre still right there. Look how quickly they taper by the time we head to noon. Thats why the wind advisory ends at 11 00. The driest of the air will come in when the winds start to calm down at 11 00. While we have a heightened fire danger, its not one of the worst ones weve had. Thank you. The 49ers are gearing up for their home game in arizona tonight.
