50s this morning in oakland. smelling some smoke on the peninsula. 35 in santa rosa. and looking at that much colder air due to that very low moisture content in the air. that's why we're having red flag warnings. as we go through the day today, they lighten up considerably, even though we want that stronger onshore push. we'll get a little bit of that, and then this is tuesday. noontime, we start that again. the winds will get gusty and probably those folks that don't have power, sue, lisa, will not have power for the next several days because of this. you know, we need to get rid of the offshore winds and bring up the relative humidity, which we could do by the end of the week. >> did you get a warning? i got a few days warning that the power will go off. i have to give them credit for that. i have to clean out the refrigerator now. it's a small price to pay for safety. let's check the roads for your monday morning commute.

good morning. our air quality alert for a spare the air alert today for smoky conditions for the east bay, the delta, as those strong northerly winds push the smoke to the south. these upper elevation winds are the reason why we have a red

flag warning in effect. you can see the moderate air quality down through belmont and redwood city. it will be shifting today as the winds shift to an onshore component. current check in the north bay, temperatures are very cold near the kincade fire, in the low 30s. humidity is up a little bit. the winds will continue to come down throughout the day. elsewhere, it is 44 in redwood city. 54 in pacifica. in san francisco, numbers are in the 30s from santa rosa, 46 in livermore. we'll look at our accuweather seven-day forecast and see if we can get rain coming in here in a couple of minutes. >> all right. thanks. our other breaking news story this morning is the pg&e power shutoffs. the company is warning there could be a third round of outages possibly starting tomorrow evening. >> the current shutoffs are expected to have a major impact on the commute in both sonoma and marin counties. lauren martinez joins us live from larkspur with more on that. good morning, lauren. >> good morning. we are at the larkspur ferry

terminal. the lights are on. service is uninterrupted for ferry commuters. that's not the case for some drivers in the country. the sheriff's office is asking if you can to stay off the roads to reduce the risk of traffic accidents. yesterday pg&e confirmed we will experience another round of power shutoffs. those could begin tomorrow and impact residents already without power. >> there is a potential that there may be people that are currently interrupted as a result of this psps event that we do not get to restore before the weather becomes unsafe again. >> pg&e has not confirmed where the next round of power shutoffs will take place. as for the commute, smart train announced they have announced they will not have train service today in the north bay and the

golden gate transit announced several cancellations that include shuttle trips between san rafael and the larkspur ferry. reporting from the larkspur ferry terminal, lauren martinez, abc7 news. >> thank you. >> the power outages and the fire forced a lot of schools to close and many events scheduled for the coming days have been canceled. we have a list of closures and cancellations on the bottom of your screen and on our website, abc7news.com. let's update you on the breaking news we've been following all morning long. a new fire is threatening 3,000 homes along the los angeles freeway near the getty museum. this is by the getty center museum in the sherman oaks area. at least 400 acres have burned. if you're familir with the area, this is the west side of los angeles between santa monica and the brentwood ucla area. this is a live look at the firefighting efforts. people are evacuating including

mount st. mary's university and lebron james. southbound interstate 405 is now closed. it's unclear how the fire started. southern california is bracing for the return of santa ana winds as it remains under a red flag warning condition today. vallejo is under a state of emergency after a wind-driven brush fire threatened dozens of homes and the california maritime academy. vallejo firefighters spent the night on the scene of this fire. it's almost 100% contained now. the fire raced up a hillside near interstate 80 pushed by those intense winds. you can see how close it got to peoples houses. they grabbed garden hoses and raced to spray water at the fast-moving flames. >> looked like a war zone. first thing i did, my brother put a mask on me. he had on a mask, we were in action. that was scary. when the flames got here and was up high, hey, should we really be doing this or should we

leave? >> embers jumped the freeway and burned down a hillside right to the cal maritime campus. 200 students had to quickly get out of there. the campus was saved but two vehicles and an auto shop were damaged. damaged homes were damaged by the fire in the area of milpitas. you can see the plume of smoke in this video. the fire was reported about 3:00 yesterday afternoon. the fire department says wind was a major factor in the fire. no one was hurt. the kincade fire is getting a lot of national attention right now. >> our friends at "good morning america," they have multiple crews in sonoma county this morning covering the fire. here's what will reeve and rob marciano showed us earlier this morning. >> this was the soda rock winery on route 128 in healdsburg and the hills where the kincade fire

started. as you can see now, not much left. it's been reduced to rubble. 94 structures destroyed. that number likely to increase as hundreds of thousands of people are displaced by this fire. >> we are north of santa rosa, the northern part of santa rosa. the 101 is open but many exits are closed because they're in the hot zone, quite frankly. we're in shiloh, a number of homes have burned here in the last 24 to 36 hours. there's some glowing in the distance there. this is heartbreaking. this was a multimillion dollar beautiful home in this neighborhood. now it is just left to burning rubble. i can tell you this, cal fire and the surrounding fire departments, there's nobody better in the business. you get a lot of practice here in california this time of year. >> definitely do. rob, thank you very much for sharing what you've been seeing here this morning and over the weekend. appreciate it.
