extremely hazy outside. that is all smoke that is blowing into the bay area farther south from the kincade fire. it's a relatively calm morning now as lisa argen has been telling us. but the winds are really going to pick up tonight for a major wind event. so expect more of that smoke no matter where you live in the bay area. and of course potential power outages. 're ng it doesn't result in of course more fires. this will not be an event we have seen in recent memory. this will be the strongest event of the year. and possibly the strongest of the last several years. unfortunately. >> and that was pg&e talking about the wind which is going to be very strong tonight. we are still waiting for pg&e's update on which areas will be hit with planned power shut office today. they were supposed to notify at 8:00. it's now 8:6 in the morning. the second we learn anything from pg&e will we will bring you

updates meal. in the south bay more than 70,000 customers face a weekend without power. ed amanda del castillo spoke to residents who already learned a thing or two from the last outages. >> people leaching in the scenic mountains are no stranger to nature taking out their power but leave it up to pg&e and the utilities public safety power shut office have many skeptical. >> it's one thing when it's a storm you expect it. but when it's nice out like the nicest days of the year and power goes off you're going, what's up with that. >> still preparation is under way for a weekend without power. busy would be an understatement for the only gas station in ben lomden. >> i feel like probably like two to 250 gas cans and 230 gallons of the propose pain were filled. >> jake hampton says last psps the location lan out of gas this type the tank is full and more scheduled to arrive at 6:00 a.m. he says there is a in need to

job. it took us decades. >> knows tough words coming yesterday afternoon. governor newsom also added pg&e will be held accountable for the costs associated with the blackouts. he believes that it will be restructured to a completely different entity when it gets out of bankruptcy by late june nextier. now of course we have been talking about the haze and smoke coming in from the kincade fire. no matter where you live in the bay area you will experience it. the smoke started drifting south yesterday and was picked up you can see by the network of cameras throughout the bay area. sky7 was also over the fire last night. you can see that enormous plume sending it up into the air with the sun going down, creating quite the back drop as that smoke filtered out into an incredible but very eerie orange glow. meteorologist lisa argen has been all here all morning tracking our forecast. it started off okay this morning, lisa. but we're headed for a tough one this evening. >> we sure are. the lit winds.

we have relative humidity up. here a look at live doppler 7. but we are picking up the smoke right here in healdsburg. check it out. you can see this whole area -- this is the fire here. and those of you downwind from geyserville, healdsburg, even windsor, certainly hopefully have a plan as these winds continue to kick up. and this fire is huge in those embers will be blown south. and we're looking at the winds, upwards of 60 and 70 miles an hour through of an li an overnight hours ton. all because of the setup with high pressure over the cost. low pressure, a strong area of low pressure. you can see the cold air here diving to the south. and we call those the diablo winds, kind of the opposite of the santa ana winds in southern california. look at mount tam. ia he more of that smoke blown in the bay area as well. hopefully if there is no more fires. but even if they are it's moving

south. 59 in san francisco. 51 in redwood city. 46 in half moon bay. look at san jose, a little hazy. slightly better air quality. 41 if santa rosa. 52 in concord. livermore 51. and the haze there the golden gate bridge skies look good here but throughout the entire dates are day it's poor air quality. you can probably bet we'll see that tomorrow into monday. currently check of the relative humidity. up 71%. novato 86%. santa rosa this is good news for right now as the winds are light. santa cruz, locking at a little bit of cloud cover here. and hazy conditions today, a spare the air alert. strong and gusty winds tonight. higher efrlgss of the north by east bay mixing down through the overnight hours creating breezy winds in the valleys. even san francisco, and looking at the winds relaxes on monday. as the red flag warning expires at about 11:00. here a current check above 1,000 feet. straight north winds, very light

right now. we're picking it up throughout the afternoon. showing you how light the winds are right on through 3:00. then they begin to shift a little bit. they're coming off the ocean. but by 8:00 tonight we're still looking at the variable winds. it's about 11:00 where we're looking at them coming in from discovery bay, the delta and moving through the upper elevations of the north bay. so throughout the overnight hours, the relative humidity is dropping. the winds picking up. it's 8:00 tomorrow morning. some of our gustiest winds by sunrise. we're down to 10% relative humidity. 9:00 tomorrow. a look at the speeds. how fast the winds will be moving through the 4:00 hour. 40 to 45 miles an hour but just follow the colors here. the magenta, all the way threw the north bay, setting up along the diablo range, even the coast. as they move down through the lower elevations they're getting funneled and moving faster getting to coat positive half moon bay gusty. san francisco will see breezy winds.

the peninsula will. the south bay not as much as the rest. 77 in oakland. 79 in palo alto. it's hazy. it's cooler today. still a few low 80s inland. and the accuweather seven-day cast,he lighter winds today. but then by tonight everyone will have the breeze, the upper elevations, the gusty winds and the extreme fire danger as we get into the overnight hours, early tomorrow morning lasting throughout the day on sunday. and even when the winds begin to settle down throughout the day tomorrow, there is still going to be breezy, 20 to 30 miranne still fighting the fire in the north bay. and then looking at the quieter weather the left rest of the week. but i have to tell you come wednesday a much smaller today's offshore event is. >> we want to get to tenancy but more wind then maybe.

san antonio valley stables added seven horses and goats rescued from the fire. that's in addition to the horses already boarding on the 52-acre property. its well sits high on a hill in the driest of conditions. the property owner says they have no way to store water for the horses. so if the power goes off so toes the pump. leaving them and horses in a tough situation. >> when you're through with what's in the tank you've got no water. >> you could have a generator up here but then you got to think about fire from the generator because it's so dry. >> this property was not affected last time pg&e cut power to thousands of customers. this time they may need to seek help for animals from other stables if they end up running dry. we will you know when you're at ross and you realize you are the the hostess with the mostest. yes! yeah! that's yes for less. entertain in style all season long. it feels even better when you find it for less-at ross. yes for less.
