aimed at helping female firefighters develop their careers. these kinds of events are designed to foster connection and development among women because firefighting is a male dominated profession. >> people are coming with all different various skill sets and our goal is to enhance it and just share the knowledge and then share contacts so women can stay in touch with the other women that are here participating. >> the training event continues today in san leandro with opportunities in mentorship. firefighters from all over the country are participating in this. well, speaking of fire danger is especially top of mind this morning with a red flag warning in effect for parts of the bay area. lisa is tracking the latest on what we can expect , as well as the wind advisory. >> yeah, you know, right now, 62 degrees in san francisco, which is really mild and that's due to all the wind. but those north winds gusting to 18 miles an hour around concord and relative humidity over in fairfield at a 13. so it's just going to get drier throughout the next

several hours, probably right through 1:00 as high pressure continues to try to nudge in to the eastern pacific and a trough is departing to the east of the sierra nevada. and that is creating what we call a pressure gradient. a tight pressure gradient. that wind, that northerly offshore dry downsloping wind. it is 59 right now in concord. look at napa at 60 degrees as it is 54 over in oakland with 40in palo alto. so some of the protected valleys within some of these areas are certainly cooler than that. so not everyone that warm, but certainly most of us look at the winds gusting around the oakland hills, 46 miles an hour. last check, mt. diablo was 55 miles an hour. it had gusted to 60. we still anticipate the winds to continue to increase through the north bay, the east bay, even down by mount eminem and ben lomond in the advisory area, there is a look at sutro with the clear sky. so high fire danger, a wind advisory all

through 5:00. strong, gusty winds, relative humidity continuing to decrease right on through 4:00. more warmer days through wednesday. that should be the warmest day of the week. and then cloud cover leading to some showers by the end of the week. here's a look at the wind gusts even this morning, you're feeling some of those right in the valleys of the east bay hayward, 16, 17 miles an hour. but certainly from the north bay, from calistoga to napa, up to 30 miles an hour, noontime, we still have that funneling effect from the north and northeast. those winds moving through some of the gaps there. the higher elevations to the lower elevations and so that's why we're drying out the atmosphere and the fire danger as that is highest that we have seen in a couple of years. so as we go through the morning hours, it increases our fire danger index from high low to very high in some of these spots where the winds just continue to blow very strong and the atmosphere air continues to dry out. so 9:00, it's remarkable to see relative humidity at 15% in san ramon and

in livermore and look what happens. this continues to drop to 10% by 11:00. we're not even at our high temperature, which we get at 4:00 in the afternoon. when we get there, we'll be down to about 7. even 6% in san jose. so it's going to take till tonight into monday to see that recovery. so high fire danger today, gusty winds in the hills and some of those breezy valley conditions as well. 70 in fremont, 74 for you in san jose with mid 70s in the north bay. and then for monday, it's chilly. we're dropping back into the 30s for some of the protected valleys of the north bay. 40 in livermore little change into tuesday morning. wednesday should be our mildest morning. our warmest afternoon and the accuweather seven day forecast shows that after today certainly things will calm down into halloween. looks very pleasant and then the rest of the week increasing clouds could see some shower chances, which would be a good thing because we're expecting that, right?

we've had some. it's been an unusual year and i wouldn't doubt we see some of that. >> yeah, certainly it would be helpful. i know with the fire danger concerns, the humidity levels dropping, as you pointed out in the graphic there. that's rare. is that pretty rare? yeah that is certainly rare. >> so we'll be watching that. >> yeah, to be a reminder to be extra cautious today. you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand and get your latest updates from lisa through the abc7 bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download the app now and start streaming running is awesome. but her moderate to severe eczema would make her skin so uncomfortable. i was always so itchy especially when i was hot.

emerging trend in law enforcement and this force is on the cutting edge. i was there this week for one of the daylong training classes. what's the feedback you get after this training program from the officers who've gone through the course? >> what they find out is that we've already been doing a lot of this stuff. it's just we're adding structure here. we're adding an organization mindset. we're breaking down the barrier of different levels of hierarchy . >> and it was hierarchy that may have been a factor keeping fellow officers standing just steps away from intervening in the incident involving george floyd. it's a case study back in that classroom in walnut creek. >> know your duty to intervene if unnecessary harm is being inflicted. i'm expected to do something. shamika riley is a property and evidence technician and dispatcher in the walnut creek police department. >> she's also a trainer teaching her colleagues, sworn officers and staff how to step in when things get sticky and someone who is above you at your same level or well below, you feel confident that they can speak up and face no repercussions. yes.

why is that important? >> it's important that everyone feels that they're on the same level, that it's not broken down by rank and file and it's good from the top down, bottom up. >> for chief jaime knox embracing this program was an obvious decision. this takes awareness and moves it to action . >> no community wants to wait for tragedy to strike or for something to happen that could be prevented. so i thought, well, let's move forward with a program like this so that we can be proactive instead of reactive. >> the walnut creek police department is one of only 22 in the entire state to implement it. the able program able stands for active bystander ship in law enforcement, active bystander ship means empowering officers and staff to step in to help a colleague under stress or crossing a line. it's not just that when to intervene, but you literally are teaching them today how to intervene. what does that entail? yeah, so it's about using your tools or your tactics that you already have quick decision making skills, things that officers do all the

time. >> but putting a spin on it for, okay, how do i go up to my coworker? how do i go up to my boss? >> that's been the mindset in the department. the chief and others tell me, but this formal sizes it and provides the tools to make sure it happens. captain ryan hibbs oversees the project, having the ability to stay open and receive that intervention is a key component to its effectiveness. >> so we feel as though this is going to be a very effective program. we're thrilled to be a part of the ground floor, if you will, and be an early adopter. dan ashley, abc seven news. >> still ahead on abc seven mornings, israel begins what it's calling the second stage of war. how ground and air operations are intensified fighting as authorities scramble to get hostages back home
