We have nice bit of an orange glow over the bay ahead of what will be a hot and pretty breezy afternoon. Were already in the midst of red flag warnings those take effect this morning at 05 00am for the Santa Cruz Mountains. Inland east bay and all across the north bay as winds are now beginning to pick up these will remain in effect all the way through friday at 11 00am so really the remainder of your workweek we are impacted by this high or higher fire danger. North bay areas starting to see increased winds not near a breezy us just yet though that will be tonight into tomorrow morning. This is 04 30pm today outlets peak vacaville, callous toga sonoma even down to Livermore Hayward and san jose really seeing wind speeds picking up here by the time we work into early tomorrow morning vacaville regularly seeing wind gusting to 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour range areas like out was p calistoga even upper elevations, the east bay right there with you. Now into thursday evening and into friday morning, a continuation of these breezy conditions. This is friday morning at 03 45am vacaville outlets p calistoga all still in the midst of some pretty steady winds before we come down midday friday and you see relief after that point so theres a light at the end of the tunnel here just get through these next few days of higher fire danger and please practice extreme caution when venturing outside in fireprone areas. 50s 60s even some 70s to start this morning, nevada youve been pretty warm this morning in the low 70s. Well later on today, daytime highs will consistently be warmer than yesterday by a few degrees at the coast by the bay and for inland areas which will rise into the mid to upper 90s back to you. All right, thank you john will now back to our top story, the high winds and dry hot weather will likely mean dreaded power shutoffs tonight all across the bay area and nobody looking forward to that up in napa county we could see probably the impact there, although the entire bay areas under threat of it, but kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live in napa county. With a look what we can all expect sarah. After hearing a meteorologist john troubles weather forecast. I mean it goes to show this wind isnt going with anywhere. Its very much going to stick around and just get worse and worse which means the chances of pge shutting off the power is very likely and they expect that if they do have to do so it will be around 00 06pm tonight 33,000 pg e customers will be affected if they do decide that. And that they will turn off the power at 6 oclock tonight and take a look at these maps you can see the areas that will be affected 33,000 homes and businesses could be losing their power in the Sierra Nevada foothills and here in the north bay then about 2 hours later another portions of the sierras and the bay area. An additional 21,000 customers could also lose their power. Live right now in calistoga a city hit hard by the glass fired people up here in the north bay face more fire danger due to that dry hot windy weather conditions that we just heard about. Now tonight, wind gusts will be ramping up possibly even hitting 55 Miles Per Hour in some areas in the foothills that combined with bone dry humidity causes for major concern of wildfire danger. Thats why a red flag warning has also been issued pg says shutting off the power as a precaution decreased to 2 to decrease the chances of a wildfire from sparking up. But its also a last resort and thats why they dont plan it 2 days in advance saying for sure 100 were going to turn off the power at 6 oclock. They dont do that because they dont want to but if they need to they will and chances are they will the highest probability areas are the north bay mountains near mount saint helene a small pockets in the east bay near mount diablo the Oakland Hills east of piedmont and portions of the Santa Cruz Mountains now how can you prepare hopefully youve been preparing as weve been talking about this on morning shows since monday, hopefully you got all your perishables you gotten a flawed or non perishables rather good enough water, you got everything you need including extra batteries may be a generator if you dont have one already pg knee actually supplies generators to certain areas affected by the outages and i. Talk to a man who lives here in calistoga he said that he wont be without power because theres a generator here in town helps him out so he said hes not too worried about but well have to continue to talk to people here in calistoga see how theyre feeling i mean this is all this been a lot that theyve been going through talk to a woman tried to see if she would do an interview with me she shes looks overwhelm shes like not right now she you know theyve been through fires. Then theyre talking about Power Outages because of wildfire danger, i mean one thing on top of another hopefully if they do do the Power Outages, it does decrease the chances of a wild fire sparking up, reporting live in calistoga Sarah Stinson kron 4 news okay. Thank you very much sara. While in the east bay and the east bay could also be hit with Power Outages because of the higher fire danger of course in this will impact homes throughout the Oakland Hills. P g says that people here can also expect power shutoffs tonight and that may continue through friday morning. First thought is im keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it doesnt happen. And second if it you know the way this year his gun is kind of got the boy just one more thing i hope it doesnt it will be kind of a nuisance if it does. Yeah its exhausting and stressful pg e will be making a final decision later on this morning about which areas will have their power cannot cut off so well keep you posted this. Well lets continue that Team Coverage you know james when its hot folks want to head to the parks, maybe for swimmer on a hike but the red flag warning in the east bay hill has caused several east bay, Regional Parks to close down not available to you while were under these high fire dangers. And that closure could last through at least friday weve got kron fours reyna harvey live at Kennedy Grove regional Recreational Area in also brought a to explain more about these closures rana. Robin james its unfortunate because the same reason that makes these parts so beautiful you see the trees the grass and brush all out here is the same reason after closing down because of the fire were to break out its spread too quickly to rapidly out here you can see here they already have signs posted extreme fire danger. So theyre letting everyone know you cant go to any of the parks on your screen today or for the next few days in fact look at this right here.

None of these parks on your screen are going to be open but we know that the red flag warning will end hopefully on friday. So we still have to see it will be closed over the weekend for now reporting here in the east bay, you know harvey kron 4 news were going to have to deal with this a couple more days, thank you for the update marina.

And plenty of sunshine today will be the highlight of your forecast aside from that it will be hot and with the plants are not your ideal conditions meaning high fire danger today, mid to upper 80s and San Francisco, oakland and sa welcome back everyone the time now 7. 11 thanks for staying with yeah, lets get over to the Weather Center weve got john looking at the forecast for us today hot weather thats what everybodys got to be yeah, hot and that fire danger back in full force guys weve seen a historic fire season. So far were all hoping that it wouldnt be continuing but unfortunately we are still in the midst of the high fire danger so please be very aware of that as you plan out the rest of your week as for happen bay this morning, it is gorgeous, nice blue skies overhead no fog out there whatsoever as we are seeing an offshore wind pushing any sort of cool marine air well out of our region, hot and dry air pushing into our region and along with those winds the dry humidity and the heat comes the fire danger winds are already picking up for portions of the north bay but by no means are windy. Us just yet that will actually be tonight into early tomorrow morning. This is thursday at 05 30am Calistoga Glen ellen in sonoma seeing consistently, windy conditions gusting into a 2030 even 40 Miles Per Hour range deep reds on this map will spread further southward at times indicating winds into the east bay and even the Santa Cruz Mountains at times. But the north bay will see the highest of wind gusts all the way into midday friday. This means really most of the bay area lit up in these red flag warnings that crew includes the Santa Cruz Mountains the inland east bay all you have to do is head right above Fremont Oakland and berkeley and you are in red flag territory through our inland valleys. All of us a county and almost all of the north bay where winds will gust as high as 45 Miles Per Hour. All the way until the middle of the day on friday. So thats a whole lot of the bay area right here and as weve also been talking out about the potential of power shutoffs in these areas due to that set for heightened fire risk as for daytime highs in San Francisco, little warmer than yesterday. You also see that right along the coastline. That even means a few low 80s, Half Moon Bay 81 right there at the coast 80s and 90s for besides cities with redwood city and san carlos at 91 each palo alto holding on to the upper 80s today well, south bay temperatures in the upper 80s to low to even mid 90s and sonny bill at 95. Pleasant in your hot spot in the bay today only 3 degrees shy of a 100 degrees at 97 today. While san leandro at 90 Oakland Berkeley and richmond in the days concord walnut creek danville each the 5 fairfield also at 95 90s consistently in napa and sonoma counties all the way down to mill valley at 91 degrees today. Tomorrows temperatures wont change much in winds just remaining hot while bayside areas will see daytime highs climbing as offshore winds kick into gear thats going to carry hot dry air all the way to the bay side meaning daytime highs in areas like oakland and richmond will be susceptible to those low 90s by thursday and friday friday red flag warnings expires winds begin to come down and even though we will start the weekend off hot dry with calmer winds we ease off that fire danger so we do have relief into the weekend and then especially next week with cooler temperatures.
