on this wednesday morning, that fire on the move. take a look at the pictures here. napa county wildfire spreading to vacaville. evacuations on pleasant rally road. look at the intensity of the flames there forcing families to evacuate, others put on hold as they're told to prepare to evacuate soon. several homes we know have been burned because of this fire and even some of those evacuating, th sfered some burns because thiwe have team coverag this morning throughout the bay area. when we think of this, kari, certainly the good thing is we're not seeing high winds and
4:42 am
that's something we were talking about yesterday but that's keeping that fire i'm assuming at bay as much as it can any way. >> well, and the one thing about fires, too, is they can make their own environment so even watching the fire i see a fire whirl spinning up so that actually acts to spread those wildfires in different directions which makes it unpredictable for those firefighters who are trying to get some containment. we saw just a few days ago a tornado spawned due to a wildfire and so once those winds start to generate those clouds go way up in the atmosphere and then they start to develop their own weather and part of the reason why even without a lack of some strong winds, with a lack of strong winds we are not seeing these wildfires being quelled by the conditions so as we look at when's going on now, once again, i wanted to show you the radar as we've been watching the fires develop being picked
4:43 am
up on radar and going really high in the atmosphere with plumes of smoke and ash and carried to the south bay so over san jose waking up to ash on the cars and everything being coated with a fine layer of ash out there and seen it in san francisco and even over toward the east bay taking a look at walnut creek starting with a clear sky this morning and the temperatures that haven't cooled down that much compared to where we normally are and should be starting in the mid-50s. we are at 72 degrees in san jose and 74 in livermore and concord and looking at the highs for this afternoon not talking about widespread triple digits but because of the smoke, the wildfires that continue to spread, and the heat that we've had this very dry heat that's been developing we are still looking at temperatures that will103 degrees in degrees. while oakland coming down to the
4:44 am
low 80s and we'll see the low 80s in san mateo, san francisco in the 70s today and for the north bay expect high temperatures in the mid-90s. as we go through the forecast, a 7-day shows we'll see temperatures mainly in the 90s, not much of a cool down here and we will at least be able to allow the excessive heat warning to expire but may come back next week. mike, you have been watching the impacts of the fire and the regular morning commute. >> that's right, kari, but the regular morning commute is holding off. we have had folks moving around for evacuations overnight. let's take a look at the map and we are talking about the left side of the map where the boulder creek is marked there. between highway 9 to the right of boulder creek and highway 1 to the left of where it says boulder creek, that section where we do see a fire
4:45 am
progressing in the santa cruz mountains. highway 1 may be affected by highway 9 there's a closure getting in toward the area. chp and local law enforcement trying to make sure that everything is moving smoothly. move up toward the area of over on the right again. the marsh creek fire originated there and spreading throughout area. no major freeways closed. 680 is open through the area and will smell and see smoke as the sun comes up. watch 128 and 121 coming through the fires. back to you. >> all right. we know so many fires burning in northern california. firefighters in southern california having a battle of themselves. this is in l.a. county near santa clarita. this fire the lake fire an enit is now scorched more than 20,000 acres, destroyed at least 12
4:46 am
structures we know of so far, 40% contained. evacuation orders remain in effect and not just the fires, thousands were also without power last night in l.a. county due to the rolling outages some of which we have seen in the bay area. also new overnight, a string of earthquakes rattling northern california town of willits. the first just after 5:30 and in total eight between 2.89 and 4.2 around willits and redwood valley. a lot going on. next on "today in the bay," we have new video to show you showing the very moment a bay area deputy confronted a nba team president courtside in the nba finals. the incident sparked a lot of controversy. plus, the all-new action that tahoe is for you,
