ingredients for an elevated threat. san jose, beautiful shot here. now, the morning headline, of course, is those cold temperatures, especially when you look at numbers in the 30s up through santa rosa. this area right here is under a frost advisory until about 10:00 a.m. once that expires, we'll see a slight gradual warmup. it's going to be comfortable. we have high pressure building in and then offshore influence. that's going to bring critical fire weather. temperaturewise you'll be okay in the 60s, a couple of 70s. notice through concord, 70 degrees, dublin 69. 70s in san jose. it's going to feel warmer because of the high pressure. but let's take you through what high pressure does to us when it comes to the humidity. we've got that high pressure that tends to kind of create this dry air mass right over the region. that's going to kick up the offshore winds. notice here we've got a wives for all these highlighted areas in the gloeld tone here.

all coastal and interior mountains stretching through parts of the marin county area as well. gusts of 45-plus, maybe more than that for elevations above 1,000 feet. this could bring the potential for tree damage and the possibility for power outages is very real, just considering what we've seen play out in the past. for this red flag warning, we haven't seen this much of the bay area in about two years. this will be in effect until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. let's get ride to the gusts and let me explain why things will get dangerous. we'll see gusty conditions 20, 30, 40, 50 plus. also we're going to see that carry on overnight into tomorrow morning as well. we're not going to see the relief from the winds until about sunday afternoon. in addition to that, we're also going to be seeing these low humidity levels, critical as a matter of fact. when you're wondering about

humidity levels, it's important to note that a significant drop, anything less than 40% can levly influence. looking at all this red, my biggest concern will be the single digit areas, 6% humidity, 9% humidity. that's why the high percentage pulls the moisture from the vegetation. it looks like we've got something good on the horizon in the form of rain. be safe. no wood burning of any sorts. >> thank you for the warnings, vianey. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, a be loved school librarian is starting to see the effects of a disease that will leave him unable to walk. the ambitious goals he hopes to achi

marathon this december and next year hopes to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing mt. fuji. >> many people say i wish i can do this some day. if you say some day, that's in the future and you won't do it. decide when you're going to do it. then you can plan. don't say some day. start doing it. >> reporter: this isn't all just for himself. jun has a son who, like he did, must live with the possibility of ataxia. jun wants to use his adventures to raise money for a cure so his son won't ever have to face what his father did. even if he does, his son will see an example of how to make the most of

you can see the thick black smoke. firefighters now tell us that three structures have burned. it started with house, now three burned on 92nd avenue. the fire thankfully is now knocked down. good, because the high winds associated with the red flag warning are picking up this afternoon. we are under a microclimate weather alert this morning into tomorrow evening. a majority of the bay area is under a red flag warning because of high winds and dry conditions. the pink on that map you saw there from the national weather service shows the areas impacted by that elevated fire danger. it stretches from the north bay to the east bay to the santa cruz mountains. many bay area agencies are on high alert because of the high winds and low humidity. that continues until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. hopefully i didn't take everything you had to say, vianey. >> we've got to make sure everybody is aware.

the winds will be coming from the northeast. as they increase overnight into early sunday morning, my biggest concern whenever we see a wind event this late at night is that most people are sleeping, right? so please make sure to keep those push alerts up and running because should there be -- we're hoping there will not. but should there be any emergency situation in which you do need to pack up and go. also, be aware of your location and what's surrounding you. do you live near a mountain, an area prone to dry conditions with the vegetation. as we head into early sunday morning, the winds and humidity will be kicking up a notch, and the temperatures, that's going to be comfortable. definitely expect to see some danger heading into tonight. >> people think if it's colder out we don't have that fire danger. hopefully people have their go bags. tonight it's big ten onbc bay area. ohio state taking on wiscons at 4:00 p.m. right here on nbc
