Were talking about you know we get so accustomed to talking about how hot its going to be some going to be necessary so hot. But very dry and windy to breezy with all this as well and you heard party talking earlier about the red flag warning theres the Coverage Area the whole day. Waters edge to the inland valleys higher elevations, lower elevations and valleys am through 11 00am on monday gives us a good 24 hours plus on that warning period live shot coming in from half moon bay, russia deal with some cloud cover in even some localized fog in some areas to take the elevator fog a little bit. Bay area not too off the upper 50s going on the east bay shoreline 40s up to the north bay 54 San Francisco, 53 going on for can also for san jose giving you comparison sake, were a little cooler along the peninsula and up to the north bay. A little warmer in the east bays you can see by a couple degrees here. All right a wakeup forecast keeps some of those clouds and a little bit in the way that
This is not story we want to start with today. You got that fire that started already and weve got a significant wind event coming to the bay area in fact red flag warnings going up across the entire bay area as we look toward the weekend were going to see these winds really begin to pick up so weve had some breeze out there today a little bit of more of an on shore flow out there some westerly winds thats all going to change over the weekend going to see more of a northerly wind so yeah, a lot of the hills have been talking about red flag warnings as of sunday into monday were talking red flag warnings for the entire bay area with some of those gusts. Maybe 6070 Miles Per Hour the peak. So that is a major concern a fire now burning in the north bay wind right now out of the west you can see that sea breeze kind of kicking in and as we head through the day tomorrow, well start out fairly calm then we get toward the afternoon. Those winds start to pick up again and they start to get on
Youre going to see the strongest gust there, but even in the maybe some damaging winds. As those winds going to howl in too many of the canyons and valleys around the bay area too so do expect some trees to come down. Its going to be a mess across much of the bay areas those winds are going to continue to how looks like that will be the case right on through monday morning. It looks like by monday afternoon things begin to settle down, but this could be a historic event. Thats just developing those winds. The fire danger very dangerous later part of the weekend. All right lauren thank you for that today, California Attorney general Javier Becerra and Law Enforcement leaders from across the state. Address the climbing rates of overdoses amid the pandemic the sarah says within the last 2 years there have been theres been a 25 increase in Drug Overdose deaths in california. Sarah pointed to san diego noting a 50 increase in Overdose Deaths in july and august compared to months leading up
Red flag warning is set to go into effect later this weekend to parts of the bay area are bracing for what is expected to be the strongest wind event of the year. Lets go to chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow who is tracking the dangerous fire conditions certainly dont like to see an active fire were forecasting a potentially some of the strongest winds. Weve seen in quite some time at least this year maybe even longer, but certainly a possibility some firestorm events we continue to see this but. The winds out there right now in and around this active fire. The pope fire we continue to see some of those winds out of the west thats not a bad wind thats a more moist when thats developing right now. We saw as high as 80 Miles Per Hour this afternoon now to 8 to 10 Miles Per Hour. So just some light winds blowing now on likely going to see those winds pick up a more out of a westerly wind as we head toward tomorrow, but. Then things begin to change and so thats what were concerned about
Experiencing of the week conditions that were bracing for on sunday and so that is obviously in our favor right now. I know that if this fire started on sunday night things would be vastly different we talk all the time daniel give us some perspective i know all red flag warnings are not created equal how bad it is this one thats coming sunday night monday. Well we definitely dont want to sound like a broken record as we have been in and out of red flag for the last several last several weeks and really the last several months this wind event that we are expecting to see on sunday will bring a extremely strong winds winds that we have not really experience this fire season in fact the last time we saw winds this magnitude and this widespread really in the 2017 and north bay fires so when the tubbs fire yeah was fires burning in sonoma and napa counties and we know how destructive those result so yeah, definitely its been a destructive year definitely bracing for what could be the stron
