You. As we take a live look outside in san jose, driving around, noticing tree limbs are down, its breezy this morning. As we go through the day, the chilly temperatures gradually warming up. We are going to make it to the low 60s. More on the wildfires for Southern California. What we are seeing here, coming up in a few minutes. Mike, you are tracking the bay bridge closely. Yesterday, lane 14 will be closed. I know its only one lane, a cash lane, but affects the 880 crossing. We had a significant back up until two minutes ago. Things lightened up as they open all but lane 14 now. More service for the traffic flowing through the area. Look at all these coming off the maze z. Look at the map. We have the build with folks coming in. Off the nimitz, this might have the biggest effect. Lane 14 is in the path. The feeder routes continue to build. Theres a closure in san jose. Back to you, laura. Thank you very much. No doubt, a lot of roads are closed arn closed around the fire. It started about 6 00 last night. It consumed 3100 acres so far. I want to listen in on knbc for the latest as well. 7,000 people evacuated, many orders coming rapidfire from officials. Of course you are looking at this live. This is exactly why those orders to evacuate parts of Ventura County coming about 11 00 last night. It wasnt long until the fire began burning through these homes. Sheriffs office. Evacuation in order. Reporter this is part of our new video from overnight. We found Police Officers ordering those evacuations. A tough job, under any circumstance, but made exponentially worse by the unprecedented conditions here. Several homes burning overnight. We heard reports of flames jumping from hometohome. Neighbors tell us knocks on their door woke them up and they jumped into action to save their lives. Materialistic stuff. You know . Think of it that way. Cant do it all on your own. Well see. Reporter certainly a lot of people trying to remain positive out here this morning. Back here to what we believe is the Hawaiian Village apartment complex. This video is from around 3 30. You could see what the building was, walls and floors still standing. As we come back to this live picture, incredible to see the difference in just a couple hours. The fire burning through that entire large apartment complex and now, all we see is the burning hillside, a couple palm trees standing up there as well as some power lines. Certainly incredible as the fire is burning through this area. The thomas fire started around 6 30 last night in the santa pala area and more than once, iit has more than doubled in size in a short period of time. I was covering this at 11 00. 10 00, the fire was 5,000 acres. By 11 00, it was doubled to 10,000 acres, then jumped to 20 and now more than 31,000 acres. This fire has not been burning more than 12 hours. The wind gusts continue. Its cold, but ash is falling from the sky. That means embers possibly blowing because of this. Firefighters are keeping a close eye not only on the areas that are burning, but also keeping an eye on the areas surrounding this, making sure they dont see hot spots flair up from embers carried in those strong wind gusts. Of course, this fire still burning out of control. Crews have a lot of work ahead of them. Live in downtown ventura, today in l. A. So much going on. We are going to continue this morning. In the meantime, another fire is burning. This one in Santa Clarita. These are live pictures from that scene there. Dont know a lot about this fire so far. There are a lot of homes in that area. The strong winds are playing a big role in the fire. Thats why we want to bring in kari hall. The winds are up to 70 miles per hour. Right, those santa ana winds are strong, coming over the mountains, funneling through the valleys, fanning those flames coming from the northeast up to 70 miles an hour. Sustained winds 40 miles per hour. This could cause a lot more fires to spread as we continue to monitor that situation. Its been very dry. This is a look at the Drought Monitor and those areas highlighted in yellow, abnormally dry. Where we see the tan color, thats where they are in a moderate drought. Southern california, much drier than the conditions we had here in the bay area. We have been taken out of that draught status, as we look closer at the bay area, not seeing that. Look at the wind speed forecast throughout the day. Its going to be very strong. This shows the hourbyhour forecast taking us through late morning, coming in from the northeast. Possibly carrying more embers as well. Its possible that we could see more wildfires as we go throughout the rest of the day. Very low humidity and very strong wind throughout Southern California. Thank you very much, kari. Well continue to check in with you as we continue to take these live pictures out of Southern California. Look at this, just shelves remaining as the fire comes through the area. Its whipping through. Minutes ago, some of these structures were still standing. The fire has been burning through. We are talking hundreds of people, thousands of people evacuateed from their homes. 27,000 people. This is the reason why, a mirror image of what we saw with the north bay wildfires, structures burning, people forced to leave their homes. I saw video of people trying to use buckets to save their homes and put the flames out. Of course the place people do not want to see the fires. Again, the strong santa ana winds are moving. We have been tracking the story behind the scenes all morning long. There are lots of new images filling social media this morning. This is from the its their p. I. O. , public informations officer.

Firefighters on the scene and some are enroute this morning, even some from the bay area going to assist. Look at the glow from the distance of the fire. Attempting to do water drops overnight. They had so many winds in that area. Those santa ana winds are treacherous when you take those dry conditions and its fueling the flames. Well continue to monitor everything going down. It is hard not to think of our own, you know, the napa fires that happened here, thats the first thing that comes to so many peoples minds. We have been dipping into their coverage and they say its reminiscent of that. Just a month ago, right . It was october. October. Just to see this happening all over again brings back all of those bad memories we had. Starting to recover here. They havent had as much rain in Southern California as we have gotten here.

The winds will start to relax later on today. As you check out the seven day forecast, looking at more 60s around, unfortunately, more dry weather the next several days. The morning commute and the east bay, its going to be a chilly start. Some spots dipping to the lower 40s. You may have the heater up on full blast in the car. As the day goes along, milder by noon as you head out for lunch, 58 degrees and sunshine. I want to show you the wind speed forecast for the bay area as we are seeing those winds coming from the northeast. With the strong area of High Pressure, just to the north of us. Blowing the winds offshore. A very dry wind. As we go into this evening, the winds will start to turn more northerly and calm down. We wont have as high of wind gusts as we have had recently and gusting since sunday night. The storm track up to canada, north of vancouver. The High Pressure continues to keep it dry. Well also have very dry weather through the weekend as well. The seven day forecast keeps it into the 60s for san francisco. The winds starting to relax and as we head for the weekend, more clouds, slightly cooler in spots. Mike, you are tracking a crash at the bay bridge . A minor one. The major krosh crash over the weekend hit here. This is tuesday, a big volume day. The lanes off to the right or left are looking lighter as we expect about this time. Just starting to build in those lanes. The maps, overall, the commute shows a light flow of traffic. No slowing for the trivalley or much of the east bay. Just the build over toward the toll plaza. Again, the crash cleared and thats good news. Alternates to the bay bridge are barton. San mateo bridge is running smoothly. Or to the north, richmond to san rafael, is lightly populated.

We have seen so many people evacuate their homes, at least 27,000. 150 structures have been destroyed. Lets briefly listen in to this reporter on scene. Reporter they have all been safely evacuated to a school down the street. That was the good news. They were evacuated hours before the area started to burn. Firefighters anticipated the wind shifting in this direction. The fire may come this way. They were able to evacuate safely. Apartment complexes and condos on the outer edge. So far, they appear to be okay. This complex is called a total loss. We did speak with a woman who works here, like i mentioned earlier, she told us she is devastated by the fire, but grateful they were able to get everybody out okay. Totally devastated. My job here is to keep our patients safe. Now, they are all displaced. They come here traumatized, now they are retraumatized. They are all down and i dont know how they evacuated all safely with the staff. Im really concerned about my coworkers. Reporter we want to show you something. Those winds will not stop blowing embers around. These trees recently lit up. Some are still on fire. The palm trees, the embers keep flying every which way. Everyone was evacuated here. Guys, i quickly want to tell you, i was driving here this morning up the 101 northbound. When you come over the hill, you can start seeing this fire. I want to give you a sense of the magnitude. I could start seeing flames down south there. We are north of the city of ventura, on the northern part, south of highway 33 here. This entire area, from then to here, from down south, its burning at this hour. It is zero percent containment. This is what we are dealing with. It is staggering to see. It is devastating. From the city of ventura, jonathan gonzalez, back to you. Thank you. Lets get more on the winds. Not only are the winds you saw from our sister station, knbc.

Three fires currently burning in that area. The first we got started around 6 00 in santa pala this morning. Of course, with the gusts of wind this morning, fueling the fire. Kari saying they are up to 70 miles an hour. They pick up and whip up. The fires are completely out of control. Firefighters are up against so much. This map gives you an idea of where the fire zone is. A couple fire that is are burning, the fire that started sneer santa paula and ohi. Its burned into fillmore and ventura.

We want to take you to the sheriff who talked about all of this. The evacuation notices. We saw the disaster and losses that happened up north in sonoma. This is a fast, very dangerous moving fire. Firefighters have a lot to contend to. We are monitoring social media as well. Firefighters are only able to send one water dropping helicopter overnilght. They are awaiting to send up more aircraft. They have to look at the conditions as well. The winds are billowing too much. If theres too much smoke in the air for the firefighters to make the drops, that makes it tough.

Crews from Alameda County, fremont, hayward, oakland, they are all headed to Southern California right now, as we speak to try to assist in these fires.

Negotiates have yet to reach a total impasse. Shes promising to file a formal complaint to keep those workers on the job. We have asked the unions to put off this strike until we at least from the opportunity to bring their last offer to the city council. The soonest that we were legally able to schedule a closed session was wednesday at 1 00.

We continue to bring you live pictures from Southern California where our sister station, knbc are giving us the live look at the fire that enveloped the area. This is one of a couple burning. This is the creek fire near Santa Clarita. Hundreds of homes have been evacuated. It is dark, so firefighters are not able to do the aerial drops. They are fueled by the santa ana winds. We are going to follow the live pictures from our sister station as well as reports from crews on the ground. This gives you that ground look of what they are going up against. We have seen medical offices, just quickly go up in flames this morning. Thousands of people are evacuated. Crews from our own bay area, Alameda County, fremont, oakland, are already on their way. They are on the road as we speak, hoping to aid firefighters on the ground to battle the flames. Hopefully, they can get some kind of control. Right now, it is burning out of control. We will continue to monitor this on air and online. We want to switch gears to President Trump. Campaign manager in more trouble this morning. Scott mcgrew, Paul Manafort was already facing serious charges. And under house arrest, the whole ankle monitor and everything. He walked out as Robert Mueller said, okay. Except, manafort seems to have broken a rule. The former Trump Campaign manager worked in secret with another man to write a newspaper oped piece defending manaforts action in ukraine, where he worked as a political adviser. That would violate the judges gag order. Dont talk about the charges or the trial. Worst, according to mueller, the writing partner is connected to russias spying agency. The Republican National xh committee resumed Financial Support for roy moore after the president supported him. Go roy. The alabama special election takes place one week from today. We will hear from john conyers today, the congressman from detroit, accused of sexual harassment. We think he will say hes not running for another term.

The latest travel ban, the third version bans travel from chad, libya, syria and yemen. Well continue to watch that. As always, contact me on twitter. Thank you, scott. We continue to follow that breaking news this morning. Here are live, aerial views from a chopper from knbc. You are looking at the creek fire. This is 1,000 acres burning right now. You can see that glow. Again, we have been telling you about this throughout the morning. Those strong winds push thing t fire as it is expected to spread more. They have crews working. We have crews from the bay area going that way from Alameda County as well as fremont, hayward and oakland trying to get control of this. The fire burning as you look at the creek fire. This is just one of many fires burning in Southern California. We have been bringing information of the thomas fire overnight. It started at 6 00. It consumed 31,000 acres, completely destroying 150 structures. This is video of a medical office build thag went up in flames. Luckily, they evacuated most of the people there. One firefighter has been injured so far. At least, almost 30,000 people have been evacuated overnight, so far, as the winds are whipping and fanning the flames in Southern California. A very tough fight. Well take the live pictures from knbc this morning. Again, we look at the winds and thats pushing that. We are noticing some here, but not as strong. Not as strong. This is the longest and strongest they have had in Southern California. We are feeling the breezes here, but our winds will subside throughout the day. Not the case in those areas where we are tracking those wildfires. A live look outside in san francisco, all clear. Breezy and a cool start. As you get ready to head out in san jose for the morning walk or ride to school for the start of the day, its going to be in the low 40s. Make sure the kids are bundled up, something nice and warm to wear. At recess, they will need the jacket. As you head home from school, its going to be more comfortable, reaching the low 60s. The seven day forecast at the bottom of the screen with more low 60s in the forecast. We are heading up to 64 in san jose today. Concord, 64. Oakland, 61 degrees. 62 degrees in san francisco. A live look outside in san jose shows its still been breezy, but our skies are clear. As you are out there getting dressed and starting out the day, its going to be one for a hat and coat, once again. It is a fairly cool start. As it has afternoon goes along, much more comfortable with 60s. Light, long sleeves and pants definitely a great choice. As we go into the next several days, more of the same. Cool mornings and mild afternoons. As we look, if theres more rain in the forecast, still clouds well to the north. High pressure blocking any chance of rain we can get in the next several days. So, unfortunately, it does stay dry throughout the next seven days, possibly beyond that. No rain in this forecast, which is really unusual for this time of year in december. We usually start to see at least a round of rain per week. We are all dry, even as we go through next monday. Mike, you are tracking the tuesday build on the road. I am. And the chance of a little bit of different flow of traffic. Lets show you what looked like a normal flow. It may be lighter. The morning commute is early, before 6 00, we see lighter volume as we approach the end of the year. Slowing in pleasanton and 680. Hayward showing slowing down for 880. Passing by that san mateo bridge. That might be an alternate for folks who avoid the bay bridge because of the activity, the crash and the fact that lane 14 is taken out indefinitely.
