shaded. you can see the small dots that are just scattered from the high winds that we saw alas tied into this morning. it was rough yesterday, so there's a lot of debris on the road. a lot of stuff flying around out there be extra careful extra cautious, of course we'll keep you updated on the power shut off and the evacuation orders as well, cal fire. they have a service and that service will help you stay informed during these evacuation orders. so what you can do is you have us your cell phone right you can text zip code, your zip code 2, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, and you 10 and cal fire will let you know and evacuations in your particular area have been lifted and is it safe to return to once again. 7, 7, 7, text, your zip code to that number that's how you get those updates directly from cal fire. so that's great to do and also keep in mind that we have updated numbers on the contained fire. once again it has grown we're up to 54 1000

acres. it only 5% contained so far 94 structures have been destroyed we're talking about homes, businesses wineries more than 79,000 are still threatened this morning and thousands of crews are out there working hard to try and get a handle on this fire. but it just doesn't look like don't even have half containment by the end of the week, definitely keep you updated. check out this air corps, the map that we have this is what it's currently like across the bay area so the higher the number the worst air quality as soon as i stepped outside this morning. i could smell it i could smell the smoke in the air and right now winds are is the highest within some folks depending on where you are depending on the direction that the wind blowing some folks say i can smell anything at all, but you know during times like this always good to stay indoors. keep the windows and the and the in windows and doors closed and that will definitely help out as well try limit your outdoor activity want to bring in john travel but and a lot of folks like to wake up john get that

morning jog go for a walk and depending on where you are. yeah may want to avoid that for the time being only check out the air quality now because it gives details right where you're some spots, it's not a good idea right there. >>and it really depends mile to mile i mean yesterday looking outside we had multiple fires burning and you can see individual plumes or it would be put up and then you see that smoke settling down and for once spotted be for the next spot you have blue skies over you so yeah, really just depends where you're at as far what you're looking at as far as the air goes so a big difference in a couple of areas that israel is trying to check and see what i was talking if we had a. >>if today's a spare the air today looks like it is i know it was not yesterday. but we'll just of a says today is a spare the air days sir member, you know you to hop on mass transit up you know instead of driving around driver smart car. but you know it's limit what you're doing outside exactly especially if you respiratory conditions.

>>just take it a little bit easier today, one of the good things about today is winds are going to be calmer the bad side of that is a lot of that smoke is going to settle back in yesterday. >>one of the relief that was offered to us from the winds really the only really thought it off for us was the fact that i did briefly clear out skies and a keep things a little bit better as far as air quality goes for many spots as far as humidity goes it will be not quite as bone dry today, certainly the biggest difference though compared to where we have been is that winds are a lot calmer today still breezy at times but a lot calmer than they were yesterday winds continue to come down into the afternoon and we start tomorrow calm before they pick back up. tomorrow night into wednesday, yet another wind event around the corner. this one not looking quite as dramatic as yesterday but still going to be looking at stronger winds returning come tuesday night into wednesday. so this does have crews looking again and not only just potential more power

shut-offs but also a potential for a further spread of the kincade fire. so today is one of those days where will have to try to get that upper hand on the blaze as winds do come down that is the biggest factor right there as winds calm down by 11:00am today, red flag warnings will go out of effect briefly across the bay. so we are going to still look at dry conditions and look at warm conditions but with calmer winds that's the biggest factor right there so easing off the winds at least temporarily for the rest of the day today and into early hours tomorrow. 60's for your highs in san francisco today as well as long most of our coastal areas. you can notice daytime highs for most of the bay in a range of 70's with mid to low 70's on the peninsula as well as in the south bay. santa clara milpitas and san jose each 72 for today's highs east bay temperatures, a range of upper 60's in union city too low to mid 70's for inland valleys, berkeley in are in the upper 60's for you while sonoma 74 fair field in vacaville each

at 72. santa rosa and petaluma each at 74. so so for so for many of you that have power outages, least we're not seeing 80's or 90's on this map, your max temperatures are going to be in the 70's that's a tolerable range of numbers, come tomorrow temperatures around the same winds pick back up a remaining with us into early hours of wednesday before dying down again, whole wheat on thursday looks to be a lot calmer and pretty comfortable with highs in the 60's and 70's 70's will take us all the way into next weekend. >>robin all right. thank you john now we want to check in on traffic, it's looking pretty good here across the golden gate bridge with problems to report says smooth driver from the north bay to san francisco. no but trouble spots to report and just double checking. yeah, we have a wind advisory wind advisory in place for the golden gate bridge. we had one yesterday to and it looks like it's still in place. others also won for the richmond sandra fell there's one for the bay bridge. i noticed that the signs were activated when i
