11:03 pm
digits. unfortunately that humidity will plummet tomorrow afternoon once again. future tracker relative humidity by 3:00 tomorrow afternoon you can see inland especially we have dangerously dry air with relative humidity levels in the single digits again and tomorrow, dion, is an even hotter day than today. we'll look at those temperatures in the full accuweather forecast in a few minutes. in addition to the winds, the national weather service says the grass in the bgrass inn hills as dry as it's ever been. we spoke to a scientist who is still somewhat optimistic about this fire season. >> reporter: we don't have to tell you it's hot and dry, but what's notable is exactly how hot and how dry it is already. >> this looks like june. so we're in early may and already seeing these conditions, so it's quite unique. >> reporter: craig clements is a fire weather researcher at san jose state. one of the things they study is

11:05 pm
no need for a zoo he says when you've got this in your backyard. hi. how are you? despite the dry brush and red flag warning clements says his lab is optimistic about a merciful fire season barring any unpredictable weather events like the lightning storm that sparked last summer's czu and szu complexes. >> hopefully it's not going to be as bad as what people are saying and that's what we're thinking. >> we are crossing our fingers for that, not to mention those goats are really darn cute. we sent this alert on our free abc7 news app when the red flag warning was extended this afternoon. if you want breaking weather alerts like this in the future, the app is free to download in the app store. moving on, education is one of the key pillars of building a better bay area and now san francisco high school seniors will have the choice to go back to in-person classes starting may 14th. the district will reveal more details at their board meeting

11:20 pm
of that warmth out there. it's still 74 in brentwood, down to 58 in oakland, 54 in the city, 57 in palo alto, santa rosa a little warmer coming in at 63 degrees. let's talk about those winds hour by hour. tomorrow morning your wind gusts at 8 a.m. pretty active in parts of lake sonoma in solano county where from middletown to fairfield you'll have winds gusting 20 to 30 miles per hour. throughout the afternoon we get that peak daytime heating going that adds to the winds and those winds become more widespread in terms of the gustiness. we'll find those winds probably 20 to 30 miles per hour again tomorrow afternoon and that does drag in lower humidity levels. relative humidity tomorrow afternoon does drop into the low single digits in some spots by the afternoon and we do repeat this pattern again on tuesday and that's part of the reason why that red flag warning was extended. it's extended till 6 p.m. tuesday evening for those gusty winds, those hot temperatures and those low relative humidity levels. so those gusts could be in
11:21 pm
excess of 30 miles per hour, looks like the strongest winds will get with this red flag warning likely coming tomorrow night into early tuesday morning. we'll keep our eye on that and, of course, under these conditions any fires that start could spread quickly. tonight we'll drop a few degrees from where we are now. most of us will sit in the 50s, some warmer spots like fairfield and antioch holding in the low 60s with those breezy conditions first thing tomorrow morning. highs tomorrow, tomorrow is a hotter day. in fact, tomorrow is the hottest day we have all week. starting in the south bay with our microclimate we'll go to 85 in san jose with sunshi morgan hill, 87 palo alto, even the coast mild, 66 but windy in pacifica. downtown san francisco hit a high of 75 tomorrow, 69 and windy in daly city. the north bay is a hot day, a lot of sunshine, 90 in novato, 91 in san rafael, 92 in
11:22 pm
cloverdale, 90 the high in napa. the east bay upper 70s to mid- 80s, 80 in oakland, 84 in fremont, 86 in hercules and inland it's a hot day, low to mid-90s, 93 in concord, 94 in brentwood, 90 the high in san ramon. the accuweather seven-day forecast, we have high fire danger tomorrow. it does continue into tuesday. tuesday afternoon into the evening the winds will begin to back off. so midweek that fire danger lessens. that cooler air kind of takes its time, but you'll really feel it hitting us by friday thanks to the fog returning and temperatures more typical in the 60s and in the 70s next weekend. weekend. >> totally need that so you went to ross and saved big on shoes? oh, yeah! and snagged “yes, please” brands at “no way” prices. hurry in for fresh styles for the whole fam... ...and say cheers to spring with the best bargains ever... at ross. yes for less!
