blowing in the wind. >> this is exactly what cal fire and the national weather service are worried about. one spark could ignite this field, and with these winds that fire could spread fast. already we have seen multiple grass fires. the cal fire earlier this month burned almost 15,000 acres. firefighters back then said dry hills mixed with strong winds caused that fire to spread quickly. those fears are back this weekend. >> this is pretty predicted with the grass crop that we've seen from the rains. the later rains this winter, we had an above average season of rainfall, which means that our grass crops are just going to grow higher. >> it means residents living near these dry hills need to be ready in case they need to evacuate. james cohen knows a lot about that. he once lived near napa when a wildfire forced him out. >> we had to rehome ourselves temporarily and, you know, there wasn't anything that we could do other than that this weekend, he's ready for what can happen. i keep supplies with me. you know, like a first aid kits, backpacks, ready to go. things

lines all the way around the fire. there is some difficult terrain out there and some some rocky areas that we're having a little bit of a hard time with all evacuation warnings in the area have been lifted, the dunes fire is currently 10% contained down in southern california. >> the los angeles county fire has issued evacuation orders because of a massive brush fire. the blaze was first reported around two yesterday afternoon on gorman road in gorman. more than 1200 people were forced to evacuate last night. flames have since burned through more than 10,500 acres. there have been no reported injuries at this time, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. and don't forget, you can access the same weather tracking tools that our weather team uses, as well as our air quality tracker. just go to the weather section on our abc seven bay area app or abc seven news.com. a warning from sheriff's deputies on the peninsula after a mountain lion sighting in millbrae. deputies

5:48 am
that ball 467ft longer than aaron judge's blast a couple of weeks ago. we're tied at three. the angels take the lead late. ramos the last chance strikes out looking. giants lose four three. they had just one for 13 with runners in scoring position . they looked to avoid the sweep. later today the a's were rained out in minnesota. they have a doubleheader today. how about on the ice. you saw it right here on abc seven game for the stanley cup final. panthers one win away from the cup. so it was in the building. but edmonton wasn't going to get eliminated on their home ice. they had so many goals. i mean so many. they scored three in the first. they led three, one after one, added three more in the second period and two more in the third. and the oilers win eight one. biggest win by any team facing elimination and cup history sends the series back to south florida for game five tuesday. it feels good. obviously we did our job on the offensive side tonight and it's just one win for us, obviously. >> still, we gotta we gotta chip away here at it and probably
5:49 am
deserve to win our two in the first three. >> but that's not the way it goes. sometimes >> so yeah, just looking to climb back into this game. >> five tuesday night right here on abc. seven new sharks head coach ryan warsofsky in san jose native devin cooley, who played for the sharks this past season. they'll join us on after the game. and on monday, we'll have warriors center trace jackson davis live in studio after game five of the nba finals. us open moving day at pinehurst number two rory mcilroy in search of his first major in almost a decade. he's going to enter the final round today inside the top ten for the sixth year in a row. longest streak since ben hogan did that 12 straight times. he's part of a three way tie for second place. everyone is chasing the clovis, california kid. bryson dechambeau had the putter working, curls it in on number seven. bryson was battling a sore right hip. actually got it stretched mid round and then right after that the birdie on number 11 going to get him to seven under the lowest anyone's been so far this week here on number 13 from the san punches it out. and this is
5:50 am
about as good as you could ask for. i mean look at this shot right here. beautiful. and then the ensuing putt he birdie to get him to eight under. he's actually at seven under with a three stroke lead. it's the first time he's ever led going into the final round of a major. that is your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send things back to you. >> all right chris thank you so much. and let's get a check of the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. good morning lisa. hey gloria. >> good morning to you. our dry air in play with those gusty winds once again today elevating our fire danger. there's a system to the north and west of us that is increasing our pressure gradient. and it will continue to drop to the north of us. it's dropping to the south and east, and eventually over to the north and east. and once it does, then we'll get back to our onshore flow. that's not going to happen until late monday into tuesday. so we're still under the influence of those breezy offshore winds. it is 53 downtown. and you can see nice and clear 57 oakland hayward at 56. we're at 45 with the clear
5:51 am
sky. half moon bay sutro. look at all that sun blinding us this morning. 51 santa rosa. and in petaluma it's a cool 4851 in napa with upper 50s concord livermore, 53 from santa cruz, 49 to the upper 70s today. so a beautiful day here. but of course we're going to be awfully vigilant the next few days as those fine fuels continue to dry out, mainly the grasses and with those offshore winds, it is going to be certainly a day to be advised of maybe not barbecuing or mowing the lawn and just enjoying the weather without hopefully any sparks to start fires today through tomorrow. really all season long, sunday and monday, gusty winds will continue to ramp up. then into tuesday we get back to the onshore flow. the marine layer will reform, but the red flag warning issued through monday and we're talking 8:00 monday night from vacaville to hidden valley lake and looking at our fire danger index, it ramps up as the winds also will be elevated throughout the
5:52 am
afternoon. so look at all the yellows and oranges there in the north bay. the santa cruz mountains, mount diablo this is for your monday once again, it returns as those winds will stay offshore, gusting to over 30 miles an hour throughout the afternoon. so it is going to be breezy. and the next several days we're looking at comfortable weather in our inland valleys. the coolest days wednesday and thursday. but then look what happens friday and saturday. high pressure builds and it looks to be a very warm end of the week into next weekend. possible some heat risks being advised for the national weather service as we get closer to that event. oracle park beautiful day although it will be breezy. winds over 25 miles an hour at times. upper 60s. so certainly on the mild side there. the rest of the bay enjoying mainly 70s from the peninsula to the east bay here 74 in oakland, upper 70s in san jose. so temperatures in and around average. looking at those mid 80s for concord, 86 in santa rosa and the accuweather seven day forecast. if you're headed to the coast, it is going to be
5:53 am
gusty out there, so winds will be well over 35 miles an hour. and that fire danger elevated all around the bay area as those winds continue to dry out the atmosphere. so with no marine layer, no cloud cover out there and those gusty northerly winds, we are in a somewhat critical fire period. it could be a lot worse, and it probably will get worse as we go through the summer and the fall. but this is the first event that's been issued for the national from the national weather service for the season. so and then we get into the hot weather when summer arrives. >> yeah. almost here. >> yeah. >> a couple of days. uh.huh. well thank you so much lisa. and coming up next, the panda at a zoo in australia. now going home to china. and when we can expect the san fra
