in fact, parts of the bay area are under a red flag warning. the record-setting heat fueling the fire danger. paul? >> i just made a list of what happened weatherwise today. january 1st. highs in the 70s and 80s. hit 82 degrees. san jose hit 76. we haven't had a widespread rainfall in six weeks. we have an offshore or east wind event which jacked up the fire danger because it's dry air. low hell tiff humidity. that is something we would typically recite in october or september in the peak of fire season. instead, this is all happening in the middle of january, but the calendar really doesn't matter. it's what's going on in the atmosphere. the ground is super dry. we were super warm today with very low relative humidity and the conditions that caused this particular fire. you're still looking live on kimble island, sacramento county. the fire conditions will persist for at least the next two days because we will stay warm. we will stay dry when it comes to relative humidity. and there is no rain in sight with gusty winds 20 or 30 or 40-miles per hour. we had a red flag warning which went into affect last night and will last until thursday morning. and even beyond that, the fire danger is going to stay high until we get a decent rainfall, and i don't see that happening for a high. high temperatures today. 82. san jose a record 76. oakland a record 74. san francisco at the airport. downtown 69 degrees. this is very strange weather. we have been talking about this dry weather for months. perhaps things hit their apex today as we have this fire burning because of high fire danger in january. >> we'll have more on the story in our newscast. thank you. well, you can tell that it's dry out there. our mobile weather lab is live in one of the east bay's oldest and most popular parks. conditions there very dry over at tildon regional park. that's a shot back to the city. ktix5 mark kelly shows us the conditions the bay area firefighters are up against. >> this is livermore in january. it should be the rainy season, but not even close. not a piece of greenery in sight. >> the grass is acting like it's august in 100 degrees. >> captain with the livermore pleasant fire department expects january to be quote an interesting month. his crew has all the firefighting gear on standby from the heavy-duty uniform to the more lightweight yellow suit used for woodland blazes during dry times. >> so we're used to not knowing what is going to happen from one minute to the next. we have all the equipment. we have all the clothing. we're ready for anything that happens. >>reporter: out here in livermore where the brush goes on for miles, firefighters have to be on alert. you can hear how dry it is. it doesn't take much to spark a fire with this. >> a little cigarette and wind blowing on it, and the grass is going to take off. >>reporter: fire season typically runs from june to november, but this year, it's still going strong in january. and firefighters think it could overlap into next june. now, the best firefighters can do is take one day at a time. >> we'll see what happens this afternoon as things warm up and the winds pick up. >>reporter: so it's those high winds combined with the low moisture and the dry brush the fire crews say really makes for that combination. but hopefully those red flag warnings will get lifted come thursday morning. into burkely hills, mark kelly, kpix5. ore in the unseasonably dry sear i can't nevada mountains, crews are hoping to nip wildfire worries in the bud. they are clearing 100 feet of under brush on each side of the trail that empire minds, state historic park. they are using machinery that looks like an oversized powerful lawn mower. it's all part of a fuel reduction project designed to protect the park and some surrounding communities from fire. >> our hope is to kind of clear back some buffer space alock the main places where people can potentially toss a cigarette. look at that spot. sear i can't, no snow on the ground. ordering homes. $65,000 cost of the clearing was already necessary. now the dry conditions, the need for protection is even greater. think about this. hotels in the is sierra. they are suffering from the lack of snow. this group performed a snow dance in hopes that mother nature would soon send snowfall their way. several businesses say the lack of snow is affecting the local economy. one ski resort says occupancy has been cut in half this season. >> as a community, we are doing everything to make it snow. i think if everybody took their cars out, washed them and left the convertible tops down, it would help. >> snowmaking machines are coating the slopes. the lack of power has forcedded some close country -- cross country ski areas to close. oddly enough, many trails are cleared for hikes and mountainbikes. while many wait for the snow to fall, many others are waiting for rain. so many, in fact, the governor ising being asked almost every day if he's ready to declare a drought emergency. allen martin is here to explain why he hasn't done it yet. >> yeah, he's waiting. it is going to happen. already declared a drought emergency. the governor is getting pressure to do the same almost every day statewide. the feeling is that as soon as the february snow pack reading is taken, the governor will, officially, say, we are in a drought. the governor talked about it in, ifressno this week. >> not today. but certainly getting ready. >>reporter: he talked about it in sacramento last week. >> but don't think that a paper from the governor's office is going to affect the rain. >>reporter: clearly, it will not. however, an official drought declaration from the governor will affect how the water we have gets delivered. and will affect what farmers, homeowners, and businesses must do to cut back. when jerry brown was in office in sacramento the first time around, he gloverred -- governed the state through the drought of the mid 70s. that is when we were taught a brick in the toilet tank would save water on each flush. we were told take two-minute showers. we memorizedded the phrase, if it's yellow, let it mellow. you remember the second verse? but by 77, normal rain and snow returned. and shortly thereafter, so did california's water consumption habits. until the drought years began again in 1986 and lasted six year -- six years. >> april 30th, 1992, the phillips snowcourse in this meadow here. we should have about three feet of snow representing 16 inches of water content. today, it's zero. >>reporter: despite the march miracle of 1991 where the state saw four weeks of successive storms, it was the winter of '92-'93 that was the break- through. >> fortunately, the storms continue through the winter of 1993. and dumped more snow in the sierra mountains that had been seen in a decade. the drought was over. >>reporter: the last time california was in an official drought was when then governor schwarzenegger declared one in 2009. and governor brown's official proclamation ending it came at the end of march, 2011, when the state snow pack hit 165% of average and both lakes were both above 80% capacity. >> what it means for you and me is, lawns are going to have to die. to washing your car, and quite possibly, more expensive produce as farmers are also forced to cut back. >> speaking of which, our key source of farmers. any predictions on their end? >> there have been already. january snow pack was 20% of average. we're seeing reservoirs dry up. in perez know, farmers say they already think 200,000 acres of prime ag land will go unplanted. that is 300 square miles of barren dirt. then, there is the fire danger which we are already seeing tonight. >> case in point. allen, thank. you. new at 6:00, rent in san jose are shooting through the roof. up 25% since 2011. now tenants who are being priced out of the market are asking for a little help. ramirez on how the city is stepping in to help keep people in their apartments. lynn? >> well, -- >> reporter: well, rents are high in san jose getting higher all the time. new numbers tonight from the city's housing department. the median price of a rental here in san jose is now up to $2015 a month. that is a 9% increase in just the last three months. it hasn't been cheap to live here for a long time, but a 25% average rent increase since 2011 is a crushing blow even by san jose standards. >> check-to-check. you know, kind of barely can enjoy life. you know, it's like you're going to work just to make ends meet. >>reporter: thirty-two jason wilson rents the home with seven other roommates. >> it's like no financial freedom. >>reporter: there may be a little more help from city hall. san jose council members voted to double the budget for a city program that mediates and arbitrates the increasing dispute between landlord who is jack up the rent to meet skyrocketing market rates and tenants who feel priced out. >> we have seen our case load triple in the last couple of years. we are dedicating more resources to that to see if we can't work out these challenges and keep folks in their apartments. >> this sounds like a crisis. >>reporter: housing counselor says the lowest income tenants are being hurt the most. she showed me a poster board filled with photos from her clients who complain of mold, shoddy plumbing and wiring and roaches, and yes, the rent has even gone up on places like this, some of which are not even legal dwellings. >> and $1400 or $1500 for a basement. it's very disgusting. >>reporter: san jose does have a rent-controlledded ordnance, but it only complies to prebuilding. for about half of san jose's apartment stock, rent is whatever the apartment will bear. >> although rents do go up very quickly, they don't go down very quickly. >> and because the state dismantled redevelopment agencies and due to the sweet sequestration -- sequestration as well, there is a lot less affordable housing being built in cities like san jose, but san jose has one idea of the housing impact. any new apartment complexes will have to set aside a little added funds for the low market rate housing. reporting live in san jose, kpix5. >> the threat mediation budget will grow to 4 # hundred thousand a year. the increase added today will enable the hiring of two to four more mediators. richmond pushing to have the highest minimum wage in the state. tonight, the city council will vote to have staffers draft three separate proposals to raise the minimum wage as high as $15 an hour. the proposal approves during a later vote will end up on the november ballot, and if voters approve the raise, richmond could see the highest my mismillion hourly wage in the state. >>reporter: inmates at the elmwood jail won't be seeing many visitors this week. three confirmed cases of flu at that jail have prompted authorities to restrict visiting. the jail is taking some health precautions but not quarantined the sick inmates. there are four other suspected cases there. >>reporter: and meanwhile, a man in his 40s is the latest person to die from the flu. his death is the first this season. so far, the death toll in the bay area stands at 19 people. santa lara county has reported four deaths. that's more than any other county. and health officials are doing their best to get people vaccinated. together several pharmacies in the county replenished their flu vaccine supply. the county's immunization coordinator is urging people to abandon that notion that the vaccines are unsafe. >> way thought -- you happen to get sick within a couple of weeks of getting the flu shot. it's because you have something already brewing. >> pharmacies will be receiving thousands of vaccine doses in the next couple of days. coming up, the epidemic killing hundreds of birds in this bay area pond, and the smelly solution. >> it really helps me to realize that i'm not alone. >>reporter: how social media is empowering bay area students to combat bullying. >> and at 6:30, a cbs news exclusive, the video revealing what happened right after the crash. and some new insight into the moments before a fire rig struck and killed a survivor. live pictures from chopper 5 now bringing you the massive fire burning out of control on kimble island on sacramento county.

accumulation of bird droppings that we're afraid are really going to cause some problems. >>reporter: the water will be gone in about another week, but it could take months for the ground to totally dry up. the plant has ordered farming equipment that can turn under the slimy soil, but they still say the air around here is going to be pretty rank. >> we think we're doing the right thing. our number one priority is to protect the birds but we may be paying a little bit of a price with some odors that could be generated here. >>reporter: the people who live in this area only have to look out their windows to see nature in all its glory. now for a little while, they'll get to smell it as well. at redwood shores, kpix5. >> despite the smell, they are actually lucky to be able to drain

let's check in with paul and look at that fire burning in sacramento county. a couple of homes have been destroyed. it serves testament to how dry things. >> it doesn't take much to eliminate the fardager. typically we do that with a good soaking rainfall or two in november. it hasn't happened at all this year, and fire season will not end. i am hoping that it ens soon with a change in the weather pattern, but i don't see it happening, so red flag warning in affect. live pictures right now very close to you in antioch. officially in sacramento downty, kimble island. there is a pretty large brush fire burning. how could a brush fire burn in january? that is just the calendar. it has not rained. it is very warm. it is very dry and it has been very windy. everything coming together for high fire danger. here is part of the problem. it's warm outside. a lot of people are saying it's not a problem. it's nice out. it's not freezing. yes, i know. please enjoy it while you can. santa cruz, 75 today at the beach. hayward you hit 70. it was a sunny day. livermore, f 5. san francisco, 68. air quality not bad tomorrow. but it is trending in that direction. moderate air quality top to bottom in the bay area tomorrow, but it is not a spare the air today. so that big ridge of high pressure. i'm just saying that phrase for five months. there have been research projects done now on this ridge of high pressure. this is the strongest and most persistent ridge of high pressure in the 50 years of significant weather mapping. they have never seen a ridge hang out in the same place so strong for so long. and guess what? it's going to be with us for a while longer. because what is in front of it, if you will. it's kind of like you're stuck in a line. you're waiting to buy a movie ticket and the dude in front of you will not move so you can't buy your ticket. that is kind of what's happening. this low won't move so the high is sitting here and waiting its turn. that turn is not coming. we're going to stay sunny, mild, and dry for the next several days. if you want to get outside and enjoy lunch outside, do it. 74 degrees tomorrow. your average high is 57. concord, 72. your

over the weekend and the upper 60s next week. so this is a problem now. we need the rainfall. we have seen what happens when we don't get rain. we now have fire danger in mid january. this will not get better until it rains. it is that simple. it needs to rain to end the fire danger and the forecast right now says zero rainfall. >> and we got the megaridge up there. >> yeah, it is the megaridge. i have looked at a number of different websites talking about how did this ridge compare to 1976. how does this ridge compare to the drought of the 80s. they are saying this one as of right now is stronger and bigger in size than any ridge they have seen before. >> wow. >> it's been here for five months. >> goat out of here, ridge. time's up. >> it has been here a long time. >> thanks, paul.

make the evening commute any easier. two words that usually don't work well together. just ask victor who drives and delivers vino on both sides of the board. >> i'm -- it didn't help much at all? >> not really. >>reporter: the tunnel was finished ahead of schedule and under budget back in november. two months later, the rush hour still looks and feels about the same. long and painful. the floor was never meant to help drivers during the worst of the rush hour, but to give both directions to tunnels at all times. >> there's still some congestion, but things seem to be moving a little bit faster. >> i like it. it's wider. the angle going into the tunnel is better. >> two tunnels. it doesn't seem to be a problem like it usedded to be. >>reporter: ivy morrison with cal tran telling me

tonight a brush fire has scored several acres on kimble island. as you can see, flames have already engulfed -- engulfed a few homes on the island since it broke out around 3:00 this afternoon. a handful of people who live there have already been evacuatedded. kimble island is located just north of antioch. people there have already been watching this fire raging for hours. kristen? >> about four hours that the brush fire has been burning. if you take a look over my shoulder. you can see some of those hot blowing embers burning. sop of them engulfed in flames. and with the help of the coast guard. and challengeling fire for firefighters in part because the island is only acceptable by water. we are seeing firefighting from the air and from the water. that's going to be a challenge for firefighters if they try and knock those flames down. of course another challenge is going to be the weather. parts of the bay area under a red flag warning at this time. we're talking dry conditions, dry brush, high winds, low humidity. that is the perfect recipe for flames like this to continue burning hot in a situation like this. so once again, waiting to hear another update from firefighters about the status of this fire. we do know that some sculptures have been engulfed. just waiting to hear back from firefighters about how extensive the damage is. at this point, we are hearing that there have been no injuries. back to you. >> we are talking about red flag warnings in the dry conditions. is it windy where you are right now? >> it is not as windy where we are. when you looken across and see those embers burning, you are looking across water. being on island, you are definitely going to be contending with some wind there. that has got to be a factor as this. kristen, thank you. and he is in burkely hills where firefighters are keeping a close eye on the fire danger there. ryan? >> good evening. conditions around the bay area are pretty similar to what we are seeing here. very dry from the soil to the brush. take a listen to. this you can just hear it snapping and this is something that you would expect in august, not this time of year. this crunch is a firefighter's version of nails on a chalk board. add to it high winds and low humidity, it's no wonder the area is under a red flag warning. patrolledded the burkely hillsment normally this time of year, they are burning brush. it's a preventable measure to get rid of the next summer's fire fuel. but this fire season is still going on months after it was supposed to end. >> people can can be
