relative humidity. luckily for the crews there, the wind has not been a real factor. right now it is about a mile and an hour. live doppler 7hd was picking up the plume of smoke near the fire on our radar here earlier today. as you look at the wind trend we are expecting it to remain light wind as far as the overnight hours. but notice tomorrow evening winds are expected to pick up 17 miles april hour and that could be a battle for the crews out there. dan? >> sandhya, thanks very much. the fire in big sur started as an unattended campfire. it was burning off the main trails and firefighters now have the fire 25% contained. so there has been good progress. the fire has burned more than 44,000 acres so far. now stay on top of the wildfires burning around the bay area with the abc7 news app. download it for free and remember to enable the push alert so we can give you updates immediately as they happen.
