but not a red flag warning. you can see the winds in the mountains in the 20s, even around 50 degrees and the higher the emivation, the closer you get to the valley, 18% relative humidity. places like oakland, 86% and that's why we are not in the red flag warning. it will be 72 in san francisco, near 80 around the bay and even some 90s in the north bay and east bay. >> thank you. firefighters are on the look out for grass fires during this red flag morning. they have already had a pretty big weekend putting out hours around the area. amy hollyfield is live with more on the fire danger. we usually don't see this until the summertime. >> reporter: this is early. the wind played a role in this one. it is still windy this morning and it wind realaly pushed this one. take a look at the video from yesterday. this jumped the road at one point which firefighters count

on to be natural fire breaks. that was just the wind pushing it. people from 20 miles away say they could see the thick smoke of the fire. a fire moving this fast and early in the year is scary for residents who vividly remember the complex fires that destroyed 1500 homes. >> it's very concerning. we want to make sure the residents know how dry it is this early in the year and what is going on so we can take and try to mediate, not have these types of fires. >> just a nerve racking experience of having to evacuate and having to check on my mom and making sure she is safe. it is pretty scary when the fields catch on fire. hopefully we don't see it this year but i think it think it >> reporter: this fire started just before 11:00 this morning at the intersection of

tier, bars that don't offer food would be able to open indoors at 25% accept. other sports bars like the flat iron that have a food menu will expand capacity to 50%. >> we spent a year on borrowed money and now most restaurant tours and basically reopened in debt. we are all trying to get back to 0. >> reporter: marin county has the highest vaccination rate of any county in the state with over 172,000 people vaccinated with at least one dose. a key factor as covid-19 cases go down, influencing a tier change. >> at the same time let's not let our guard down. >> reporter: luz pena, abc7. damage has been reported in three cities after tornadoes tore through mississippi. video taken earlier in tupelo shows damaged homes, up rooted trees and downed power lines.
