this goes until 7:00 in the morning. we could see gusts up to 40 miles per hour. if we watch what happens on the winds, we do have gusts hitting 40 to 50 miles per hour. as we play this ahead and once we go through the day, the winds are going to calm down. i will have the rest of our forecast coming up in a bit . in light of the fire burning in big sur, this is the primary concern at the moment. oakland police say a government randomly killed a man and shot firefighters without any apparent provocation. we are hearing from the mother of the victim. we spoke to her at a candlelight vigil last night. >> reporter: community members, family and friends celebrating the life of robert. >> he just got off work and was

welcome back. developing now, a wildfire and monterey county continuing to grow and forcing evacuations. the colorado fire broke out at 7:30 last night. this morning cal fire says that fire has grown to 1500 acres. the flames jumped highway 1 last night and now the road is

shut down in both directions between big sur and carmel. parts of the bay area are under a high wind warning. the national weather service says the warning will continue until later in the day for higher elevations. with that, here is darren with a full look at our forecast. in light of the fire we are seeing in big sur and the surprising nature of how quickly that fire was able to take off, we will focus on the local mountains. let's go to the red flag warning. it is a wind morning. you see a lot of read up here . here is the important distinction. it is a wind morning and not a red flag warning. while the winds are strong enough, everywhere on this map could see winds up to 70 miles per hour. the humidity levels are not critically low . they have

gotten fairly low, but because of the amount of rain we have gotten, there is not a significant fire threat here. the wind warning stays in effect until 11:00 today . that is one item. there is a wind advisory for a large portion of the rest of the bay area but only in the mountains. this is not include the lower elevations. if you live in the santa cruz mountains, the diablo range, the mountains in the coast rain, up there the delta, it is all included. it does not include the east bay shoreline, none of those locations are included in this. we could see wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour. the winds are much lighter here. go to the wind speeds. a 50 mile-per-hour gusts up here in the north bay mountains meanwhile at the most in the 20s and the lower elevations

and even at mount hamilton. the winds pretty much will turn off as we go through the late morning and early afternoon today . that is why that wind warning expires at 11:00 and the wind advisory expires at 7:00 a.m.. as far as the weather is concerned, it is warm. santa rosa, 60 degrees. it is weirdly warm. that is because you are experiencing those downslope winds coming off of the north bay mountains. they will compress and dry and warm. as they do so, 56 degrees with hayes in san jose. upper 40s for most other locations and the tri-valley. everyone else is in the 50s. we have a good-looking day with high clouds and daytime highs that go to the mid-60s. daytime highs will climb back up into

the mid-60s for most of us under plenty of sunshine today. looking ahead from here, there is not any sign at this point of any significant hope the storm track will come back to california. we will keep things quiet over the next 7-10 days and we will see that play out in the seven day forecast. sunshine across the board. you will see temperatures staying in the mid 60s. low 60s for the majority of the bay. mid-60s, san jose. north bay numbers also warming up into the mid and upper 60s for the next few days with plenty of sunshine. the focus will be the wind for the remainder of the first half today and the focus of that will be in the mountains. >> i went for a hike yesterday and the winds were really gusting. it felt like being on the outer edge of a hurricane, that is

how strong they felt. >> it is hugely different there, and that is a great example of how the topography and the microclimates will interact in significantly different ways. is not nearly that way for most of us. restaurant owners hope restaurant week will be a shot in the arm. for others, the pandemic has forced them to call it quits. how some restaurants are trying to stay afloat during this latest omicron surge. >> reporter: a busy night in downtown napa with many restaurants fully booked for restaurant week. >> it has been extremely difficult to hang on and stay alive. >> they announce their closure on facebook. they gave it their best for as long as they could. it was the pandemic that finally forced them to close their doors.

wildfire in monterey county is continuing to grow this morning and is facing, forcing evacuations. it broke out and paula colorado canyon. this morning cal fire says that fire has burned 1500 acres. the flames jumped highway 1 last night. the road a shutdown of both directions between big sur and carmel. we are taking a live look outside. parts of the bay area are under

a high wind warning. the biggest gusts are at peaks and hills. the warning will continue until later today. a massive tree came crashing down during high winds and san jose crushing several cars and knocking out power to the neighborhood. it happened near the intersection of east julian. one person from their truck totaled. luckily, no one was around from that tree came down. drivers had to dodge this giant tumbleweed in dublin. the chp is warning people to watch out for debris on the roads. i wanted to start out with perspective on the fire we have been telling you about burning in monterey county. the majority of us would know that this is a popular spot and big sur. the most recent pictures coming to us. it's a developing situation and we are getting updated reports. i wanted to

just lend a little bit of context and show you where this is. there is two things to take note of here. you can see where the icon is for the fire. this is just south of monterey. you can see carmel and salinas. you can see the red perimeters on their and that shows you where the most recent fires of burnt. this fire is burning through terrain that has not experienced a fire recently. that is why it's been able to take off. we will switchover now to a life updated map using satellite data. the fire footprint will look difficult to pick out as we come close in. if anyone knows this part of big sur, we can highlight where the fire is burning on here. that is the bixby canyon up there. probably the most well- known location is the bixby bridge. this puts a little

context in terms of where this fire is burning this morning. we will have updated information as we go through the morning. it is not a very populated area, but there is no reason to believe the bridge will be compromised at this point. >> back here at home, it is warm because of the same winds fanning those flames . winds moving over the mountains and coming downslope . 60 degrees right now. if you look across the bay area, it is generally warm for everybody. we do not have any fire weather concerns in our local mountains. we do have a wind warning for the north bay mountains. we could see wind gusts to 50 miles per hour and maybe a little stronger through about 11 a.m.. this is where we've got a wind advisory. not as intense.

not including the areas where we all live. anybody in the mountains will experience winds up to 30 miles per hour. when you look at the winds, you can see why. they are gusting up to 50 in the higher elevations. we see a sign that the winds are about to die down. once we get into this evening, it is barely even breezy. the rest of the day shows us some high clouds and daytime highs in the mid 60s. 67, san jose. 67, santa rosa. fremont, 64. looking across the seven day forecast, there is no change in that pattern. mid-to upper 60s for some of our warmer valleys. when we take a look at the microclimates, we see the same

story across the north bay. low to mid-60s everywhere else. no rain coming our way. i want to underscore a couple of things that you said. the area where that fire started is somewhat sparsely populated. i think the concern is a good push into the car merrill valley where there are more homes and more people. probably about five years ago there was a fire. >> a lot of things to watch on that when. water levels around the bay area are expected to rise to -5 feet by the end of the century. highway 37 will likely be underwater by mid century if not earlier. highway 37 is along the northern shore of the san pablo bay. it is a vital link between counties. caltrans says this stretch of

highway is extremely vulnerable to flood related closures due to sea level rise. the agency is in the process of trying to come up with a long-term solution. it is preparing a study to identify what the best options are. the ultimate answer will likely cost billions of dollars. >> this money is going to be spent in a way that should be congruent with what the public wants. there are bumper stickers out there that say 37 socks. those are the people we want to come to these meetings because they drive it every day. >> for more information head to our website, www.kpix.com . anti-of portion protesters showed up in washington on the 49th anniversary of roe v wade. a conservative leaning supreme
