more tough conditions today as they try and get a wildfire under control near lake toe hoe. this is happening 30 miles south of the lake near the historic town of markly vil, that fire has scorched 15,000 acres and is just 10% contained. high winds have made firefighting very difficult and there's more wind in the forecast today. lightning sparked that fire friday night. we're talking about forecasts let's get to that. >> let's know it's going to be hot here. is that going to make the fire fight worse? >> i think so, especially with the winds starting to kick up. it's not hot yet, won't be hot today or tomorrow, but thursday and also friday, those are the days we will be watching for that heat to really ramp up. so enjoy it while it is nice and mild now. as we get a look at these current temperatures all across the bay it is 58 degrees in concord, livermore 55 degrees and 49 degrees in santa rosa. notice the seven-day forecast that's coming up at the bottom of the screen, we do see a friend of our temperatures going upward over the next couple of
