for the second half of the weekend from the first half. to show you where the numbers end up as a result on sunday, low hundreds inland and near 90 at some locations with 100 to in santa rosa. monday is the top of the heatwave with a little bit hotter numbers but sunday will hit you in the face and you will do a complete turnaround. that covers the warm i will ow yyour seven-day coming up in a bit. the warm up was issue number one but issue number two is the fire weather concern with the warning at 9:00 tonight and not expiring until monday morning until 8:00 a.m. this is when we have the big warm up with everywhere in the red a big red flag warning for the fire weather concerns. in terms of how the weather will feel for you this weekend it means very little, but this is a huge concern in the mountains above 1000 feet where the wind will really pick up. here's sunday morning in the heart of the red flag warning. you can see bright colors

humidity in the 50s, 60s and 70s but in the teens which is behind the factor of the red flag warning as it dries out the vegetation. depending on how the fire behaves we could see more smoke coming our way that we have more information on that as we get closer to it. if we see more smoke that will focus on monday which is the peak of the heatwave and we could have air quality concerns. that has two reasons to stay in the air conditioning on that day. >> th by itsf but the wind and its impact on the pg&e equipment. >> exactly. that is the follow-through, what sparks the fires. the other concern is that even if pg&e wiring does not have a faulty problem that sparks of fire, anything else that does start a fire under conditions like that is just as big of a concern. and we have 40 miles an hour gusts to dry out that
