hotspots. cal fire crews and several aircraft responded to try to get the upper hand before nightfall. >> but containment is only at 10% right now. the fire is in the glen haven area of lake county. this map shows evacuation orders in red and evacuation warnings in yellow. cal fire crews are worried about homes near highway 20, so we're right on that border of the red flag warning that was established today for southern lake county. >> so that's a combination that could lead to erratic fire behavior and rapid fire growth. and we've seen that a little bit. >> at least two buildings have already been confirmed as destroyed. about 2500 homes are currently at risk. >> all right a live look outside tonight at san francisco. and there is no sign of the fog anywhere. it's a pretty steamy night in the city. >> where's the fog? come fog, please. meteorologist sandhya patel is here with a look at the current conditions. and also what those firefighters are facing in lake county. sandhya. yeah. dan and ama. we take a look at the conditions near the fire lines and things have

improved. temperature is going down at 76 degrees. relative humidity coming up 26%. and the winds are dialing back a bit. gusts to 13 miles an hour out of the west. that westerly breeze is certainly helping to increase the humidity. unfortunately, it's going to be a hot couple of days ahead for that area before they see some cooling and the winds will remain on the gusty side through the night going into tomorrow morning. it's the very reason why a red flag warning is in effect for our east bay hills in the santa cruz mountains because of the offshore gusty winds and low humidity that the fire danger is elevated. it is not only high, but you're also dealing with critically dry fuels. look at the winds right now. big rock ridge, 21 miles an hour. this is what is concerning. the other thing is this weekend's heat wave prompting an excessive heat warning for many areas shaded in pink, including san francisco. areas shaded in orange are under a heat advisory. those temperatures are going to soar once again hotter than today.

purples, bayside and inland. so be careful out there. the heat can be taxing on you. stay hydrated and keep cool. temperatures right now in the 60s and 70s, we did have some high level clouds coming through here today, which added a little humidity to the air. tomorrow's forecast inland areas in the morning will begin with sunshine 70 to 90, eventually into the triple digits right around the bay in the mid 60s. calm conditions in terms of the winds there. 80s to 90s and then along the coastline. upper 50s quickly warming up into the 70s at noon and 80s by the afternoon and early evening. your temperatures first thing in the morning, mid 50s to the low 70s. most areas will start off clear, except for some high level clouds just kind of streaming through the bay area. they're harmless, unfortunately, not going to bring us any rain. that dangerous heat wave with us tomorrow. 104 in gilroy, 100 in san jose and los gatos, 98 in santa clara, 98 in redwood city, 84 in pacifica. the sun will be

shining. it's going to be 90 degrees in san francisco, almost 20 degrees above where you should be for this time of year. 88 in the sunset district. plenty of triple digits from san rafael to santa rosa to sonoma. 88 at stinson beach 90 sausalito east bay, berkeley, oakland. mid 90s 96 fremont. head inland and it is definitely going to get hot there. a scorcher 104 in fairfield, 103 concord and livermore. all right. hardly. strictly bluegrass is happening in golden gate park, and you would expect it to be nice and sunny and maybe a little fog. not this time around. it's going to be very warm tomorrow. 88 degrees. there will be plenty of sun dropping off into the mid 80s on sunday. now college game day cal 9 a.m. mild in the morning with a few clouds. hard to believe, but it's going to be a hot and sunny one by 5 p.m. 94 degrees. still warm late at night, so definitely dress accordingly. and for the niners game at kickoff, it's going to be a hot start. 95 degrees fourth quarter. we're talking about dangerous heat with plenty of sun. one last stop here a lot

happening. the castro street fair on sunday as well. warm, mostly clear, upper 70s in the city. temperature rising into the low and mid 80s. so it's going to be warm and sunny and then eventually turning mild. but here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. i do have good news. after two more triple digit days, dangerous heat wave continues. monday we finally get out of the triple digits. it's still going to be hot inland. the coast cools, temperatures really moderate on tuesday and then as we head towards the mid and latter part of the workweek, we're going to be in the 80s. so a big change coming your way as the fog rolls back in and the temperatures drop off. the coast will be in the 60s. quite a change when you go from 82 saturday to 62 next friday. we're talking a 20 degree drop and we like the change. >> we want the change. >>

the 49 ers are dealing with a rash of injuries. the schedule is not kind. the niners play the cardinals and then seattle. so if you squeeze in the patriots game it will be three games in just 12 days. fred warner had the pick six last week. he and george kittle are questionable limited in practice but will probably give it a go. fred was looking pretty good running today. now after arizona on sunday, only three days of rest and a travel day to seattle for thursday night football. george kittle with advice for some of his younger teammates. >> when we played on sunday, you're playing three games in 12 days and that's a lot of football. so like what coach shanahan has always preached since i've been in the league, and it took me a while to understand that it was like sleep is the most important

thing. so like, hey guys, try not to stay up late playing nba two k please go to sleep at a good time. get your body maintenance in uh- get off your feet as much as possible, watch as much film as possible and just be ready for this. this game. because as soon as the game is over, the way that next week's going to hit you with the information and everything, it's like if you're not ready for it, you're going to fall so far behind. >> the warriors preparing for their first preseason game. they're in hawaii tomorrow against the clippers. dubs brought in some veterans to bolster the bench, and in keeping with tradition, steve kerr will not tell us his starting five. >> yeah, i'm not going to make that decision until i have to. but it's going to be hard for sure. we got a lot of guys who are worthy of playing. we feel like it makes a lot of sense to play fast and that we have the personnel to do it, but the only way it works is if you take care of the ball and you get get good shots, and that's what we're really working hard on. >> it will be a huge saturday at cal hosting espn's college gameday, starting bright and early 6 a.m. then you can go home and sleep. the game is

until 7:30 p.m. marshawn lynch will be there as the guest picker, and he told pat mcafee about the expected weather conditions. >> but what should i be expecting from that place, marshawn? >> you should. you should be expecting a lot of dope smoke. >> okay, i like that. >> a lot of dope smoke. >> okay, so it's going to be cloudy in berkeley. it's going to be cloudy in berkeley. >> very cloudy. you understand the forecast in berkeley say cloudy. i think it's just like that in the bay area. period. >> traffic and weather with marshawn. cal hosting miami. funniest picture of the week. spurs training camp chris paul played for the dubs last year. he's about six feet tall. victor wembanyama seven four and that is the long and short of it. sports on abc seven is sponsored by
