seen one in quite some time. and the winds will be strongest in the upper elevations of the north and east bay. a red flag warning pretty much all around the bay area, except for the bay shore. northeast winds already gusting in the upper elevations at the surface. we'll see those winds quite breezy to 25 and 30 miles an hour. upper elevations could be as high as 60 miles an hour in the wind. advisory is with us right now for these highlighted areas where we could see the strongest gusts over 60 miles an hour. that would happen tonight into the early part of your sunday morning. it is 50 downtown mild. there 40 palo alto. look at the temperatures in our inland valleys in the 30s. so certainly chilly from santa rosa out towards fairfield , 43 in concord. and as current check now you'll notice that the north winds not too bad, but still they will be gaining strength steadily throughout the next several hours. and with plenty of sunshine, that warmth will be offset with those breezy offshore winds. so we'll tell you how strong they'll be in your neighborhood and talk about the week ahead, which includes that trick or treaters forecast

in a few minutes. >> gloria, we definitely want to know all about that. thank you so much, lisa. the red flag warning is the largest list of its kind for the bay area since october of 2021. we do not have a warning last year. there is a lot of brush and grass that has overgrown known because of the extremely wet winter. abc7 news reporter lauren martinez tells us more about the concerns. >> a mild fire season this year could change with the first red flag warning issued throughout the bay area this weekend. >> and this kind of wind event is something that happens routinely this time of year, the month of october is known for producing catastroph wildfires. >> this weekend, the national weather service says there is less concern for dense areas from recent rains and the cool summer air. >> the soil is not saturated, but it is moist and wet. >> but there is much more concern for finer grass year spaces grass being 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 we could and we get more and more of these red flag events. >> we could have disasters occur on a scale that we haven't seen since you know, a couple of years ago, p-g-and-e's says they're increasing their staff

>> sarah minson is with the usgs and says an earthquake of this magnitude isn't enough to cause structural damage. >> your experience of that earthquake is going to be highly dependent on exactly how close you are to it, what kind of material you're on, whether you're driving or standing still or awake or asleep. >> usgs getting reports of the earthquake being felt from santa cruz to sonoma. it was not a big enough earthquake with significant enough shaking to trigger an emergency law through the emergency law system, through the wireless emergency alert system, which is the one that we trigger for potentially life threatening shaking in san francisco, though some felt it, others didn't. did you feel the earthquake? >> not at all. no. no. >> we were sitting at our kitchen like coffee bar, eating dinner and i thought someone dropped something upstairs. >> but i looked at her and i was like, oh, i think that's an earthquake. she's like, no, that was not an earthquake. >> it was too short to be an earthquake. >> i'm new to the city, and so i thought it was like the bart or something. but i don't think

there's a station around here. >> rob winslow recently moved to san francisco from minnesota. >> 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, minute 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. >> it is a 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 3:00 pm yesterday at the alameda county family justice center in oakland . and of course we will keep you updated on this developing story. a bay area native and

the highest in decades. americans are expected to spend $3.6 billion on candy. this year. that's an increase of 618% from last year. another $8.6 billion will be spent on costumes and other holiday expenses. and we all know that all adds up. well, new this morning, the city of san francisco is dealing with over crowding at county jails, the daily population of inmates has grown by 32% from last october to right now to deal with the influx. the city is opening a jail annex in their san bruno location. it has six open dorms. that area has been closed since 2020. san francisco county jail number three lists their capacity city at more than 750 inmates. this drug dealers in san francisco could soon face murder charges. california governor gavin newsom announced a new task force to take a closer look at drug overdoses in the city. this is part of a new effort by state and city

event. the registration just started at 8:00 this morning. the walk starts at 10:00. it will start at bishop ranch in san ramon and the route is three miles. but there is a one mile shortcut. we know a lot of you are going out there or maybe starting the halloween celebrations this weekend. so let's get a check of that forecast with lisa origin. so, lisa, for those folks who are planning on being out and about this weekend, is it going to be cold or how is the weather going? well, the morning temperatures are going to be milder tomorrow due to all the wind, but we get our coldest temperatures about an hour after sunrise and we're kind of in that period right now where the sun was up at 730. >> so we still have temperatures, in fact, some numbers have dropped into the mid 30s. but as we go through the morning hours in san ramon in particular, things will be getting pretty nice with milder conditions towards 11:00, 55 degrees and this is a walk to end alzheimer's and then by noontime it is comfortable at 60 degrees. so live doppler seven not showing any storms, but we are on the wrong side of a

trough that has dropped into the great basin, allowing for gusty offshore winds. a drying trend. critical fire weather this weekend. we had a few patches of fog floating across this view from our sutro tower camera. san francisco dropped a degree at 49. it is 43 in oakland, 48. san jose 41. palo alto, what have you here from our exploratorium camera 35. santa rosa, 34 in novato. so those wind sheltered areas with calm winds at the surface numbers are quite cold, but not as cold as we saw friday morning. there's a look at the wind direction and speed with 23 miles an hour. mount diablo cranking up around mount saint helena, 36 miles an hour. that's where our wind advisory is right now in the hills of the south bay, the mountains, the santa cruz mountains all around the bay area. and the clear sky here from the golden gate bridge. high fire danger this weekend. strongest winds will be towards noontime and then dialing back by tomorrow afternoon. soon, we're going to see them really cranking, unfortunately, through

the overnight hours. and then warmer days throughout the upcoming workweek. here's a look at our fire danger index. starting out low right now. but from 3 to 4:00, we get into that. high range winds will be gusting over 40 to 50 miles an hour. they continue you overnight into early sunday. and notice how they spread into the north bay. you can see down in the hills here of the east bay, the south bay. so really be on advisory here because we haven't seen this in a while. we are looking at those recent rains to help some of the moisture stay in the dry conditions. but a lot of the grasses are totally dry it out and you'll notice the winds 25 to 30 miles an hour, upper elevations, they work down to the surface throughout the day today, into early tomorrow. notice all the colors on the map . the takeaway is that that is where the driest conditions will be. this is the relative humidity. the measure of moisture in the atmosphere down to 9% in napa late today, early tomorrow, very little recovery and we're even drier into your

sunday afternoon this is the milder san francisco week that we've been kind of talking about , 70s in the afternoon. and then 50s in the morning. so a nice week ahead. but by the end of the week, this system flirting with extreme northern california , could bring a shower there. so far, we're keeping our forecast in the bay area dry. so highs today from the upper 60s around the bay shore, low 70s inland. and then tonight with that wind, 40s and 50s not as cold, but we have a very cold night tomorrow night when we see less wind. so be really careful out there as i said before, you should have that to go bag. we're prepared for earthquakes, but also for fires around here. you know, at a moment's notice, things could change. >> yeah, that's always really, really good advice. a good reminder because some of us don't always keep those updated. it's been quiet. >> it's been very quiet for several years now. >> exactly. but i do want to shift gears a little bit. halloween, do we need the jacket? because i know a lot of us have costumes we don't want to hide them with the jackets, but we might need them. try

wrestling one on the kids. >> yeah, we think we need one, but yeah, it's not going to be that bad. but it will be chilly. >> a little chilly. all right. thank you so much, lisa. well, still to come, climate concerns. why some people say their worries about the environment are affect is it possible my network could take my business to the next level? it is with comcast business. powering all your devices with gig-speed wifi. and you get fast downloads and uploads. pick it up! pick it up! oh we got this! because it's powered by the next generation 10g network. more speed for your business? it's not just possible. it's happening. get started for $59.99 a month for 12 months. plus, ask how to get an $800 prepaid card with a qualifying internet bundle. comcast business, powering possibilities.

i this could be happening. >> the climate crisis is affecting the way people make decisions every day. these can be routine daily choices about what groceries to buy or more complex considerations like where to 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 there 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

ultimate decided to have one, and there were a number of factors that played into that. it wasn't 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 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 dawsey, abc seven 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. and in the east bay, a new way to stop car break-ins one. police department is turning to social media for burglary social media for burglary reports. but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd.

his game high 41 in the third quarter. the warriors scoring 39 points in the third and at one point led by 18 points as the kings closed in a little bit on the fourth within five points, but under a minute to play. steph it's a huge three and celebrates with the night night warriors win 120 to 114 and get their first win of the season. i love to play well, especially on the road and silence the crowd. >> get a big win for us because i don't know if you remember last year it took us like 14 games or something like that to win a road game to start the season. so to get our first one is a big deal. >> all right, let's talk 49 ers. despite being diagnosed with a concussion after losing to the vikings. niners qb brock purdy was a full participant. actually in practice on friday and may be cleared to play in tomorrow's game at levi's stadium against cincinnati. head coach kyle shanahan says he will be tested again on saturday. today coach shanahan was asked if they had considered not playing purdy regardless of the test results. hey, he says, if purdy is cleared, he's going to play.

>> yeah, if there was a decision, i mean, based off of how he is and stuff. but to me that wasn't a decision because how he's been throughout this week and now that's why he's going to have a chance and we'll see how the protocol goes tomorrow. >> and if purdy can't start on sunday, backup sam darnold will make his first start for the niners. so we will see at game time. game one of the world series in texas. former giants manager bruce bochy looking for his fourth championship. the rangers trailing 5 to 3 in the bottom of the ninth when corey seager hit a game tying two run home run to extras tied at five. gallo leo high graduate kyle nelson, who is the nephew, by the way, of our assignment desk editor andrew pitched out of a jam for the d-backs in the 10th. he went on and went an inning a third and a third, rather, and didn't allow a run. but he was taken out in the 11th, and that's when adolis garcia hit a walk off homer to win for the rangers six five. the final game

two is tonight, the sharks. oh and seven one on the young season and in carolina to face former shark brant burns and the hurricanes caroline is teuvo teravainen vinon had a hat trick. he had the only goals of the game and there there go the hats as the sharks lose three nothing. they are zero and eight and in dc on sunday. all right, that's a look at sports. i'm dan ashley hope you have a great saturday. >> all right you too. thank you so much, dan now let's get a check of that forecast with lisa. arjun hi, lisa. >> hey, gloria. good morning to you. we're looking at live doppler seven. hi, everyone. and we're not watching any storms visible here. we are watching a system to the east of us that has dropped down, allowing for that typical offshore flow. this time of year. hazy here. mt. tam winds up to 20 miles an hour out of the northeast at 49. right now, downtown, 43 in oakland, it is 43. in palo alto, 46 on the coast. and from mount diablo vollmer peak, this is where the

winds are pretty breezy. we'll continue to see them increase, mix down to the surface and allow for that drying trend throughout the weekend. 37 santa rosa low dew points today and tomorrow, allowing for the relative humidity to drop to very, very low points. drying out the atmosphere, 37, fairfield, 43 in concord. current check of the winds above 1000ft, nearly 40 miles an hour. mount saint helena, you can see mt. diablo just at about 23 and the rest of the bay area, not so bad right now, but we'll continue to see those north winds increase. so the fire danger index low the next few hours getting towards the later afternoon. we get to the moderate and high category in the upper elevations is where the winds will be strongest from the north and east bay hills. and then from about 8:00 tonight through very early tomorrow, it gets even stronger. we dry out the atmosphere even more, taking you through midday sunday until the winds will begin to calm down a bit. so throughout the afternoon, notice we're 22 to 30 miles an hour at the surface. so certainly breezy. but the direction is out of the north.

and then as we get into your saturday night, the winds will continue to increase and spread over the valleys here from the hills of the east bay, the santa cruz mountains. so this continues right on through the day. and a look at our current relative humidity is not great in the 60% range right now, but as we get to about 4:00, look at that 10. concord, antioch and it gets even drier through your sunday starting out sunday morning at 14% in petaluma, 15% in santa rosa. and then by late in the day, we're down to the single digits in some areas. so you have the dry winds and they're blowing around with the strongest winds around the highest elevation. so that is a recipe for concern for fire starts and spreading. there's a look at upper 60s to low 70s for the highs due to the wind. we won't be as cold tonight. upper 40s for most, but you can see a few 30s in the north bay there to near 50. richmond and around oakland. but as we get into

monday, this could be one of the coldest nights we've seen in quite some time. look at that, 32 for monday morning up in petaluma. upper 30s in our inland valleys. and then finally by tuesday, those overnight lows begin to modify. so that's good timing because trick or treaters tuesday night going out we'll be greeted with low to mid 60s coast and bay upper 60s inland and then after 7:00 it certainly gets cooler with that sun setting. the accuweather seven day forecast. a nice calm week ahead after the weekend with the critical fire weather. the red flag warning, the wind advisories as we see temperatures a bit above average and temperatures at the coast even in the upper 60s. so it should be nice after this weekend, but everyone definitely should be prepared with those winds getting windier in the upper elevations throughout the day and the good thing is, as you said, it should be nice for halloween. >> do you have your costume ready? >> no, i'm going to work on that. >> okay. we got a few more days to work on it. right. thank you, lisa. all right. well, this saturday night on the red carpet has a preview of the new shows
