in the finally of the santa ana winds through the mountains. that is the reason the winds will pick up , as a slider storm has made his way across the sierras, and it is only allowing even more strong winds to final in to the los angeles basin and that is the reason that they are going to continue to see a lot of gusty winds over the next 12 to 24 hours. but there is slightly good news with this wind , it is keeping all of the smoke off and away from the west coast of the united states. there is some sort of positive news . let me take up the winds so you can see it, that smokers want to be over los angeles but that is it . i will let you know if there is a potential for it to hit our way to the bay area, coming up in my full forecast. more on the palisades fire , the most destructive blaze that is burning right now. katie nielsen reports from mandeville can you and where firefighters are working to overcome intense winds. >> reporter: we talk about it over and over again and that is the winds. everything that

comping contributions from police unions. let's talk about the weather going to our meteorologist zoe mintz. we have been talking about what is been going down in l.a. but here it has been really nice. i went on a walk yesterday in the park and it was beautiful. >> gorgeous. san rafael and oakland broke records for yesterday's high temperatures. that is just how warm it is. it is not normal in january . not to say we have not seen similar temperatures to this before, but it is definitely not the usual in january. normally the high temperatures are in the upper 50s to near 60, not upper 60s like what we have been seeing. early this morning you can kind of see where the warmer air has settled in because the winds are not gustier across our north bay communities and closer to half moon bay. let's take a closer look at those areas that are little bit warmer because current temperatures are little
6:19 am
more comfortable, half moon bay, 54 degrees. oakland at 54 degrees. along with vallejo, 54 degrees. and the reason is because the breezes early this means in -- this morning are higher than yesterday morning and like a talked about yesterday, the winds act like a blanket overnight and insulate us and they keep us warm. a 20 mile an hour wind at half moon bay , that is keeping the temperatures a bit warmer. just like the 19 and 20 mile an hour winds of valejo and napa , but you may notice it is not as nearly as windy for the more inland locations and that is the reason there temperatures are not in the mid-50s because they are not looking at nearly as windy of conditions. either way, we do have the wind advisory in effect throughout 10:00 a.m. it will not last for
6:20 am
long. but not to say this afternoon will not still be breezy. it is the 25-35 mile an hour gusts are not reason to have a wind advisory. we are no longer expecting the 50 plus mile an hour gusts on the highest elevations in our inland east bay communities like what we saw yesterday. still breezy, but it not nearly as windy and you may notice there is not just the wind advisory, there is an area in bright green, a coastal flood advisory. we are not expecting any crazy flooding but minor flooding in low-lying areas because of the king tides , is likely during the high tide periods. it is something to keep your eye on throughout this afternoon and it expires at noon. it is not much longer than the high tide period this afternoon. quiet and calm conditions will persist through later today and dry weather will persist throughout the next several days. all today is going to be just the breezy winds , not just anything too crazy this afternoon in the bay area. maybe the wind gusts upwards of 15 to 25 miles an hour, may be an isolated gusts up to 35. but not wind advisory criteria. the northerly winds that will pick up, will carry all of the smoke from southern
6:21 am
california's wildfire often away but as a low pressure system makes its way offshore, there is a slight potential for a little bit of that haze to make its way just to the southern most parts of the bay area, but it will not be dangerous air-quality for us by any means. very little chances for any sort of rain over the next seven or more days, unfortunately. even the long-range weather models are pointing out drier than normal conditions for at least the next 14 days. something to keep your eye on. dry and quite conditions but enjoy the above average temperatures while you can, as you can see by the later parts of the upcoming week we will drop to average. enjoy the warmer weather when you can. coming up, the american skier lindsey vonn continues to come back from injury with respectable finishes in a pair of races this weekend. coming up in sports, the

6:34 am
a day since may of last year. this is normally our wet season and normally atmospheric rivers season, this time last year they were talking about flooding rains, and now they're talking about wild fire danger and a lot of dry air. and we will continue to see the dry air coming in with the santa ana winds and you can actually see as a low pressure system, a very similar set up to what we saw last week with the 80 to 100 mile an hour wind gusts is beginning to set up and notice the direction, spinning counterclockwise and it is helping to usher in those santa ana winds, squeezing through the gaps of the mountains, and unfortunately, we will see them picking up over the next several hours. and several days as well, with little to no
6:35 am
chances for rain all the way up until the later parts of this upcoming week. there is good news wet later this week there is a slight potential for a little bit of rain. and early this morning it is not great news when it comes to winds, 35 to 50 mile an hour gusts but later today we might be seeing a period of the overnight hours, that they could hopefully get a little bit more containment underway. it will be early monday morning but the wind gusts monday afternoon, this will be the biggest day that we are concerned about with those 40 to 60 plus mile an hour gusts throughout the afternoon hours. however, the good news, there is slightly good news about the direction of the winds and it will keep all of the smoke off and away from most of us in california. however, we are still dealing with gusty winds in the bay area and i will let you know how long the diablo wind event will last and that is coming up in my full forecast. switching subjects, special counsel jack smith , who was the best getting president-elect trump in two separate federal cases has resigned. but legal battles continue over the potential release of his findings. cbs news bradley blackburn reports. >> donald j. trump. >> reporter: the resignation of jack smith was expected and

6:44 am
closer to our coastal communities. that is because we are looking at a bit of a stronger breeze to kick off our day especially up north. 57 degrees right now in san francisco. 54 in half moon bay . 54 all the way up in vallejo. the reason is because of the gusty winds, if you look at the warmer temperatures coinciding with the higher wind speeds. vallejo and napa, 19 or 20 mile an hour wind gusts, half moon bay, 20 mile an hour wind gusts . that is the reason that everybody is feeling milder this morning. in the areas that are seeing gusty winds but further inland, we are only seeing five to 10 mile an hour wind gusts then it is not nearly as want to kick off the day. a little science lesson for you all, stronger winds overnight, keep the temperatures warmer, similar to what clouds do . by the afternoon we will be warming up , all of us above average once again. yesterday we broke records in san rafael and oakland. and today there is the
6:45 am
potential to be near record-breaking for january, well above average. anywhere from five to 10 degrees, upper 60s into the santa clara valley. and upper 60's across the north bay communities. yes, everybody to get out and enjoy some sunshine . the winds will not be nearly as strong but breezy throughout this afternoon and something to keep your eye on and what you should also keep your eye on is a chance for the winds to finally subside and die down. which is good news. the wind advisory is in effect through 10:00 a.m. , so not much longer this morning. by the time we step out into the earlier parts of the afternoon, our cohost flood advisory will have expired . this is in effect through noon, as we are looking at the king tides currently occurring so when king tides coincide with the high tide event , we are going to see a bit of minor flooding. mainly low-lying areas and the places that normally see it during the king tide events, just something to
