them. they're starting to conjoin together so that's a big concern. abc7 news. >> thank you. take a look at this map. you can get a better idea of where evacuations are from where the scu complex. the area in red is under mandatory evacuations and the area in yellow is currently under an evacuation warning. let's check in with spencer. >> just a terrible situation. as the fires expand and merge, it makes it challenging to get specific information from specific locations. so let me give you what we have with fires around the bay area. a look at conditions. dangerously low humidity, 20%. the wimbledon is light there. that's good news. five-mile-per-hour gusts, similar conditions. well, windier at the hennessey fire. gusts 16 miles per hour there.
