now at five wildfire risk. the national weather service issuing a red flag warning for much of the bay area that warning is in effect right now. good morning. it is saturday, october 28th. i'm gloria rodriguez. let's get right to that red flag warning for much of the bay area that starts a little bit later on today. meteorologist lisa arjun is here with the details. good morning, lisa. hey, gloria. >> good morning to you. yes, the critical fire weather will be

with us all weekend long, but it will peak later tonight into sunday morning. and that will be in the hills of the north and east bay. but right now, let's cover where it is. it is everywhere across the bay area primarily, but we're looking at the north northeast, winds 15 to 30 miles an hour. gusts 40 to 60 miles an hour, bringing the relative humidity anywhere from 35 to 10. and that could create fire starts and allow the fires to spread easily. we also have a wind advisory. 8:00 this morning through 5:00 tomorrow for those northeast. winds could gust as high as 50 miles an hour, bringing down trees, power lines and those unsecured objects. so objects. so make sure you put the lids on those trash cans. you'll be chasing them down the street. hopefully not the winds out of the north right now. saint helena, 32 miles an hour. you can see mount diablo. not too bad. current numbers are chilly once again, we are cold with the upper 30s in the north bay to the mid and upper 40s. elsewhere so we'll be looking at our 24 hour temperature change that says we're a little warmer but boy it is cold out there. so

a sunshine and gusty winds arriving. our red flag warning throughout the day. we'll talk about the winds all throughout the afternoon into tomorrow. and when they will subside and the week ahead. coming up, gloria. >> all right, lisa, thank you so much. the red flag warning is the largest of its kind for the bay area since october of 2021. we didn't have a warning last year. there is a lot of brush and grass that has overgrown because of the extremely wet winter. abc7 news reporter lauren martinez tells us more about the concerns as a mild fire season this year could change with the first red flag warning issued throughout the bay area this weekend. >> this kind of wind event is something that happens routinely this time of year. >> the month of october is known for producing catastrophic wildfires. this weekend, the national weather service says there is less concern for dense areas from recent rains and the cool summer. >> the soil is not saturated, but it is moist and wet. but there is much more concern for

finer grassier spaces scrapping a type of fuel that can burn very quickly. and so that's where i think people should be most cautious. >> cal state east bay assistant professor tony marks block says this year more prescribed burns should be happening. controlled burns create fire resilience and prevent fires from being extreme or erratic. what we see is a potential window in the coming weeks if this event really dries things out to allow for more prescribed fire. >> and i really encourage agencies to take advantage of those windows and burn the areas that are necessary to burn marks, block says. >> what should be of concern is how much moisture is needed in the coming weeks if we don't get rain for another month or so, then then we could and we get more and more of these as red flag events. >> we could have disasters occur on a scale that we haven't seen

thought it was like the bart or something. but i don't think there's a station around here. >> rove winslow recently moved to san francisco from minnesota. >> my like, like innate natural fears around like, disasters are like snowstorms, blizzards like those things. and so, like i don't have like the earthquake fear like built into me. and so i don't know. should i be worried? >> well, no, because like these are very tiny earthquakes with very tiny stresses. >> and the chances of them causing something big to happen is, you know, many skule. >> now, so far, there are no reports of any injuries from this earthquake, but officials say it is a good reminder for all of us to be prepared in the newsroom. tara campbell, abc7 news. >> very good reminder. thank you, tara. multiple sources tell abc7 news that a work laptop that belongs to alameda county da pamela price was stolen from her car. the car burglary happened around 3 p.m. yesterday at the alameda county family justice center in oakland. sources say the da was told to file a police report online if

where we had a little bit of fog for santa rosa 36 degrees right now, 45 in oakland is 47 in fremont as well as san jose. and good visibility here where we're looking at that sun not coming up until 730 and tomorrow, next weekend, we do fall back high fire danger this weekend. the strongest winds will be late today into sunday morning. and looking at our warmer days arriving throughout the middle of the week, the winds will subside by late tomorrow and then we'll be looking at those overnight lows modifying as well , our fire danger index follows the wind pattern 8:00 this morning. notice we're in the low category. the green. and then as we go through about 4:00, the blues and the yellows getting a little bit critical here to high fire danger throughout the afternoon. and in fact, this will carry over from late tomorrow into sunday. so we're looking at the gusty winds up above 1000ft to 2000ft. and that will take us anywhere from 50 to 60 miles an hour. this is 3:00

early tomorrow morning. so this is when the winds could be quite strong as we get into sunrise on sunday. a look at the relative humidity. early this morning, 85 to 90. but as those winds get going, 4:00 this afternoon, 17, petaluma. 24% in hayward. and look what happens by late in the afternoon. it continues to not only be knocked down from the teens to the single digits in parts as we get through your sunday. so some of the driest weather, the windiest weather we have seen in years on the way over the weekend in terms of the winds, you'll notice starting out north and east bay with the winds over 25 miles an hour. and by 5:00 saturday, we're looking at those wind gusts over 25 to 30 miles an hour through 11:00. and this is our period that we're watching from late saturday into sunday. and this will take us into the rest of your sunday morning. and by sunday afternoon, we'll finally begin to see these winds become

hi, i'm todd. i'm a veteran of 23 years. i served three overseas tours. i love to give back to the community. i offer what i can when i can. i started noticing my memory was slipping. i saw a prevagen commercial and i did some research on it. i started taking prevagen about three years ago. i feel clearer in my thoughts, my memory has improved and generally just more on point. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

bipolar 1, i got help to push back. i got help to push back. we got help to push back - with lybalvi. once-daily prescription lybalvi is proven to treat manic or mixed episodes of bipolar 1 in adults to help you push back. elderly patients with dementia have an increased risk of death or stroke. do not take lybalvi if you are taking opioids or are in opioid withdrawal. the samidorphan in lybalvi can cause severe opioid withdrawal that can lead to hospitalization or increase risk of life-threatening overdose. get emergency help if you have trouble breathing, become very drowsy with slowed or shallow breathing, or feel faint, very dizzy, or confused; or if you have fever, stiff muscles, confusion, rash, swollen glands, or problems with your liver, kidneys, heart, or lungs. other serious side effects may include high cholesterol, weight gain, potentially fatal high blood sugar, uncontrolled body movements, which may be permanent, dizziness upon standing, or falls. are you ready to push back against bipolar 1?

live or work. but now more people are even factoring in climate change when planning their families. >> folks are either choosing not to have children or are having fewer children than they consider ideal. in part in large part because of climate change. so while there are other other are other factors, climate change is a growing reason why it's turning into a global opinion. >> this year, hewlett-packard asked 5000 people how climate change impacts their decisions. 91% surveyed say they have anxiety about the climate, and 53% of that group said the climate has impacted their perspective on having more children or any at all. >> this trend of folks having fewer kids than they would like to or having no kids at all, right. when they would ideally like to have children. i think it's a sign of how dire the climate change situation is. >> csu east bay assistant professor of sociology amara miller, says many parents say they simply don't want their children growing up in a world of natural disasters caused by climate change. but others, including kristin weaver, say

their decision comes from climate experts suggesting having fewer kids than originally planned can help combat climate issues. >> i originally anticipated that i might have 2 or 3, and i ultimately decided to have one, and there were a number of factors that played into that. it wasn't just just climate change, but seeing that information really confirmed my decision to just have one child. >> the fact that anyone is making a decision not to have children because of climate change or having fewer children than they want, because of climate change is just it's very de heartbreaking. and i hope it spurs some action at these global levels, both among governments and corporations, because it doesn't have to be this way in the south bay. >> dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> when we return, the latest on the war in the middle east. more than 100 countries vote for a resolution calling for a cease fire. why hostage concerns are growing this morning as israel is not slowing down its ground operations. and in the east bay a new way to stop car break-ins

would be along the bay shore, everywhere else we're looking at north northeast, winds 15 to 30 miles an hour with those gusts 40 to 60 miles an hour. the minimum humidity could be as low as 10. so this is definitely ripe to start. fires spread fires and the wind advisory starting earlier in the higher elevations, 8:00 with those winds gusty. and then these could knock down trees. the good news is that we have seen a little bit of rain. so some of these trees are not as drought stressed as they have been. those unsecured objects, though, will be blowing around. and already the north winds 20 to 30 miles an hour from mount tam to mount diablo. and as current numbers start out this morning, we are certainly chilly again with 36 santa rosa, 40in san ramon, 45. in oakland, but that is a little warmer than it was yesterday. so we'll talk about those temperatures warming up throughout the week. but as for the day to day, it's the winds we're watching. temperatures mid and upper 60s by 1:00. but those winds we'll start gusting and the critical winds will be later

high fire danger this weekend. strongest winds will be happening throughout the afternoon to the early morning hours tomorrow and through about midday. then they'll begin to dial back and we'll look for the warmer days this week and modify those overnight lows as well. our fire danger index starts out low today, this morning, but by noontime through about 4:00, you can see we're in the high category, upper elevations already seeing winds of 30 miles an hour. those could peak up to 60 miles an hour. and by 8:00 tonight, we are in the very high category for the north and east bay hills, mount diablo, mount saint helena taking us through early sunday. and as the winds coincide with that driest time of day, the relative humidity continues to plummet. so the colors indicating the moisture being stripped from the atmosphere. 4:00 this afternoon, 17% in petaluma, about 10% in concord. not much recovery overnight. that's when we do see

some of the recovery. usually with the relative humidity increasing, but not so much as we get into 8:00 tomorrow, starting out at 11% by the delta and even down lower in the north bay. look at napa, 6, san ramon, 6, as well as fremont. so very dry conditions out there. the good news is the atmosphere, i should say, the grasses and fuels have retained some of the moisture from the recent rain. so because of that, even with these gusty winds, we are expecting that to help us out a little bit. but still, look at the north northeast winds throughout the day today in increasing the reds and the oranges indicate the strongest winds along the east side here of the valley coming in from sacramento, gusting in the upper elevation. 68 today in richmond, as well as fremont with low 70s in our inland valleys. so windy a red flag morning. and as we get through the middle of the week, temperatures warm up and there's a system that wants to cloud us up. but whether or not it brings us any rain at this

point doesn't look likely. so due to all that wind, 40s and 50s tonight in the accuweather seven day forecast with temperatures in the 70s all week long it should be a nice week. halloween will be comfortable but most importantly the winds won't be with us as we begin the workweek. but as for this weekend, we'll be watching them closely and we'll need our jackets for the trick or treating, too. i think so. >> thank you, lisa. well, reminder, you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. download the app now and start streaming and stay with us. we will be
