from 15 to 30%. so we are still looking at those breezy offshore winds, but much, much lighter in the upper elevations, 10 to 20 miles per hour. they'll continue to dial back. due to some of those fires we are looking at a wind advisory for the south central bay, air quality won't be as great as it has been. we are going in the right direction starting off cooler. the relative humidity eventually recovering. it's 46 in vallejo. 43 in napa. a chilly start out there. looking at numbering recovering throughout the afternoon into the 60s. today will be the warmest day out of the next three. we have a big weekend with the blue angels. anticipating a slight cooling trend throughout the next couple of days, sue? >> looking at san jose for our early morning commuters. those headlights are headed northbound on 101. this is the 880 overcrossing. this is southbound.

much as a story about greed and mismanagement. >> i have not delved into those matters. i might have some slight disagreement with the governo if i did i'm looking forward, just trying to make this better. >> pg&e restored the power to about 60% of customers yesterday. the company's resource centers are still open today, just in case they have to accommodate people who still do not have power. looking at the mapp that pg&e has been providing over the last several days. it's a little different than the map we saw earlier in the week. that had all those pink dots that represented the planned power outages. we're seeing here, santa rosa, that's in red. red means that it's a 5,000 or more outage this morning. you can see about 4,000 people here are without power. those ladies we saw earlier may

have to do the hair in the dark for another day. line inspections stop in the dark, so they will resume this morning. pg&e says crews have found multiple cases of damage, including fallen branches on power lines. parts of the north bay are still in the dark, and they're waiting for a return to normal. liz is live in santa rosa this morning with details. good morning. >> good morning. here in the north bay thousands of people are still in the dark entering day three now with no power, no water, no way to take a shower. santa rosa seems to be the area with the biggest pockets of power outages, but it's random where there is power and where there isn't. right here where we are on 4th street, behind us here at this stop light, this intersection, cars just going through, not even realizing that there's a stop light here because the power is out. look at this, right next to it,

this shopping center we're in, a safeway, power is on. safeway lights on. it shows you power some places, not in others. people do seem to be making the best of this situation. wineries closed because of the outage. but look at this, this tasting room was packed last night. they stayed open even though there was no power. customers in the dark there using cups and candlelight. >> people need a place to go. if they have patience and we have patience, we're open. we do things the old-fashioned way. >> it's a testament to their - to them, to just stay open, and be able to support people just appearing at their doorstep. >> now, the did news is a gnome ma, napa, solano and marin counties have been given the all-clear by pg&e because of improving weather conditions, so

power will start to come back on if it hasn't already. that can take a while because these crews have go through and inspect those power lines. we do hope that as people and the crews get working this morning power should turn on for more folks as the day goes on. live in santa rosa, abc 7 news. >> wine in a plastic cup is still wine. >> sure is. >> all right. so check out these two guys. they're in trouble this morning accused of breaking into cars during the public safety power shutoff. a morgan hill police officer stopped chris gomez and jason gomez as they were walking in a dark area of town on wednesday. there's a kcurfew in effect at the time. the officer noticed they had broken glass on their clothes and some other clues that led them to be arrested. you can count on abc7 news for your pow outage updates. enable push alerts to make sure you get the latest information
