very windy right now. and that's anho north ythisire was burning sunday afternoon, sending up a lo in northern sonoma county. cal fire dispatchin ni santa rosa based firefighting aircraft to the started on stewarts point, skaggs springs road. cal fire says some evacuations are happening on the south shore of lake sonoma. >> you can see behind me that we're getting that weird smoke glow, sonoma county peor james gore sharing this message on social media about the fire. this is an active wildfire. this is something that we're going to have to watch. uh- currently, the winds are still blowing towards uh- 101 and thehealrgyso cloverdale corridor. uh. there no anticipion of an evacuation in those areas at this time. >> strong gusty winds and low relave humidity are the two primary reasons that the red flag warning was called. >> those red flag conditions have cal fire on alert. its fire

stations are fully staffed, and this sky crane chopper just arrived for the season at the santa rosa air base. it's capable of dropping 2600 gallons of water on a fire all had a loe activio have the resources thate need tstart attacking these fires and we're ready to go. >> firefighters say this wind driven grass fe was sparked sunday morning off highway 680 in martinez. firefighters stopped it at about one acre. the battalion chief expects his crews to be very busythe next 24 hours we tin f t but on dayspare for. like this, we want to make extrn the morning. they're expecting this sort of activity. >> neighbors living near open space say they have learned from the past. they know when humidity levels drop and winds pick up, they need to be on alert. neighbor gloria cabezas says she received an alert about the red flag conditions on her phone. >> when it gets windy, you know, just a little, you know, we start, you know, trying to come out and start watering our lawn,

cornell saying, the wind that is the biggest deal when we're talking about, oh, he's right about that. >> zach wind is the enemy and the wind gusts are increasing right now as we get into the evening hours. so as you get closer to the fire, these fires can generate gusts at the base of the fire or near the fire that exceed the official officially reported readings coming in from the from the reporting stations. right now, reporting gusts up to 35mph. relative humidity is dangerously low, down to nearly 20. temperature readings in the mid s.t me take you out of this and get you over to this fire danger, red flag warning. that's what i'm trying to say for high fire danger, because this covers basically all of northern california. certainly the northern sacramento valley, the carquinez strait and the delta. much of lake county and areas, as you can see in those little slivers. and northern marin and northern napa and sonoma counties in the higher elevations. now, this red flag warning is in effect for this general area until tuesday morning at 8:00. but for those areas in napa and sonoma counties, in effect until 8 p.m. tomorrow, with relative humidity

dropping below 20% at times and with winds gusting up to or even above 35mph. as you can see right now, look at the current gusts 46mpho, 37 just south of sfo, down at san mateo. so all across the region, the wind gusts are increasing right now. as we get into the evenin hours, they wo to diminish and ease until the late night and overnight hours. during that time. also, the relative humidity will come back up, which is helpful. but at the moment we have highe ncerns acrossay area. i'll have the full forecast in just a few minutes. zach. so spencer, thank you. we wa to you to some sky seven video right now. sky seven just getting over to this fire. it is live. taking a look at the point fire burning over there near hills where you just see that cloud of smoke, that fire literally burning on the ground there. we just got the update that it is now 300 acres that have been burned since this fire started. it was 1230 today that this fire started already at 300 acres sky seven bringing

us that live picture. right now you see the severity of it. and as you heard cornell talking about spencer, talking about the winds, that is the biggest factor in this fire, how it's spreading andrespond to it, tooe know, of course, that our fire crews here in california, if anybody can fight a fire like this, it is them. but they are dealing with some very tough conditions with this fast moving fire. and yeah, the conditions out there not making it any easier at all for them. so we're all taking a look at this sky seven video right now. sky seven just getting to the scene giving us this look from the sky. now we had that look at the ground earlier. but you know, we never really can see the full severity of it until you get this aerial look right now to give you just a glimpse of what crews are facing and the tough task ahead of them right now, fighting this fire. that, again, is 300 acres right now, 15% containmentso we know crews e working on it. we're also continuing to give you the information as soon as we get it into our newsroom. and relaying that again, evacuation orders underway in this healdsburg wildfire that crews

and nearly 40mph in many other locations around the bay area. so here we go with a live view looking down onto the bay from mount mount tam. it's so i'm losing my voice today. so sorry about that. 60 degrees in san francisco, 70in oakland, hayward 68. mid 70s at san jose and redwood city, and 57 at half moon bay. here's a view at the golden gate. blue sky and breezy conditions 82 up north at santa rosa 68, petaluma 76 at napa. low 80s at fairfield and concord, 76 at livermore. and let's check out our forecast headlines. for the next two days. we have increased fire danger, fire concerns here in the bay area. the main factors are the gusty wind and the low humidity. some of that low humidity resulting from the drying out of the winds as they move down slope, and by the middle of the week the wind will ease. we'll have a milder, calm weather patte obviouyhe fire concerns will diminiitbut rigow we're looking at a red flag warning in effect for a huge portion of northern california, including the northern

sacramento valy, until 8 a.m. tuesday. it also includes the carquinez strait and delta, much of lake county, and portions of the higher elevations of northern napa and sonoma counties. for those locations, the wind the red flag warningwi. tomorrow. now, here'a look a the fi danger index. these yellow and orange colors represent high or very high fire concerns. the blue areas and the green areas representderate cone late night hours tonight and the overnight hours. notice how the concern for fire diminishes because of the higher humidity at night and the lower wind speeds. but those gusts will pick up again tomorrow. and going into the afternoon hours, we'll see more of those yellows and oranges showing up, indicating increased fire danger across the bay area. so the winds overnight will mix out any clouds. so we'll have clear skies overnight, and we'll start the day tomorrow with sunny skies overnight. low temperatures will be generally in the low to mid 50s. highs tomorrow about 60 at the coast mid to upper 70s around the bay mid 80s inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast approaching midweek we'll have
