driving really slow because they're about to run into a tree in the middle of the street. and, you know, pulling over for firefighters to cook callaway says that she is in constant contact with friends, trying to cope with the horror of it all. >> i have a friend who's a little bit further north in altadena a proper and she is on high alert right now waiting to hear the fate of her house as a couple of houses on her street have burned down and she lost her local fire station teens and as well as like a hardware store up in altadena off of lake. so i've talked to her and just, you know, trying to support her and keep her calm, the suffering so widespread as each minute, more profound pictures. >> painting a painful picture. keep pouring in. >> there was cars piled on top of each other. that was on fire. that was in the middle the road where people have to abandon their cars.

flag warning does go until 6 o'clock on thursday. so let me show you what's going to happen with the winds over the next 24 hours. now, some good news we're going to see things get better as we go into the evening. you see those numbers start to go down and that will be the case as they go into the overnight and even start tomorrow morning. unfortunately, what happens in the afternoon that wind starts rolling off shore again. more of a santa ana kick happens. it's not quite to the degree that they've seen in the last 24 hours, but it does mean it will make it more difficult for firefighters to try and get any kind of containment on these fires. right now. they're chasing these fires waiting for this to happen friday. you start to see this wind completely wrap up. this will be the end of the santa ana event. that's when they'll be able to get some real containment on the fire. so we do have these high wind warnings that are out. you can see that this also goes through thursday. so, you know, the problem is, is this isn't going to wrap up quickly and it's going to make it difficult for them even though we'll see things get a little bit better tonight. meanwhile,

back in the bay, of course, we've had a gorgeous day out here. we've been so fortunate with the fact that we've gotten rain an hour. wind has not been any nearly what they've seen in southern california will be back in a little bit. talk more about our local forecast. 22 san francisco firefighters are heading down to los angeles to >> try to help out of the firefighters posting this video today earlier of a strike team heading southward. they say that they are ready to help enforce gayle ong. she is following this story for us and we'll have the very latest coming up on kron for news at 4.30. and we're staying on top of the deadly fires in la for the latest information. just head on over to our website. kron 4 dot com. >> our other big story this afternoon, daniel lurie is now officially the 46th mayor of san francisco. his inauguration was held in front of city hall today and kron four's rob nesbitt was there for the event to rob. it was

jimmy carter. for many, it was an opportunity to bid farewell to the 39th president. some were even moved to tears. the legacy of the humanity of president jimmy carter to civility. >> the commitment to bring people together. stands as great testimony as a way forward for our country. thousands visited the casket, holding the former president saying he had an impact on their lives. is the first president that i really paid attention to politics. so it just means a lot to our salmon traveled from philadelphia. she first met president carter when she was 5 years old. i remember is he picked me up and i just started talking to him because i'm a talker. salmon says she devoted her life to living in his footsteps. i just want to one last time. iowa senator chuck grassley also took a moment to see carter remembers both of their names on the ballot. back in 1976, is the only sitting member of congress.

we need your prayers. we need your. your thoughts of healing. anything that you can do to help our community. many of our neighbors, our loved ones. >> and members throughout our community lost their lives today. and we are with you. we see we feel you and we're going to help you get through this. as part of the state of california, along with our governor, our federal and local officials. our main mission now is to keep people safe. minimize and he further devastation. and for those of you who lost their homes. who lost your property? we lost loved ones. we're going to help you rebuild. we're gonna do everything we can to fight for you every day. >> now this week over the next couple months and years to make sure you get your life back. and that is my promise.

that is the promise of everyone behind us. but please stay diligent. he thus heed the warnings of our public safety are safety officers. and please stay out of harm's way. thank you to our men and women on the front lines are first responders. we are not out of this. it is all hands on deck. and it's going to be a long couple nights till. so thank you to everyone who's helping these efforts and please pray for us. >> i want to take a look at the conditions in southern california as we take a live aerial view. >> yeah, it's those santa anas. then they are truly it's been making it near impossible to fight this thing and its some not letting up but a lot but enough, right cuyler. >> well, not letting up to friday that they're going have overnight hours. everybody talk about our local forecast right now. you can see we've got blue skies out there in san francisco. >> and i'm happy to say that our wind has certainly not been a problem today.

everything has been, you know, for the most part under 10 miles per hour. just a beautiful day out there. we've had temperatures that have been above average. so we low 60's in san francisco and the average about 57. obviously, we've got nowhere near the record set back in 1962. for 79 degrees. temperatures, though, have been warm. certainly seen a few 70's that have been out there now kind of pullback. but san carlos tilt 72 santa rosa 69. high pressure is in control. and that is part of why we're seeing that wind in southern california. as you see the low pressure system that's dropped down to the south. there and that is what kind of allows that counter clockwise circulation to just target that area. you see that offshore flow that is happening there. no, eventually that will start to relent. but it just unfortunately does not get done until friday. so for us, we're going to stay relatively calm. but notice tomorrow we to get a little push of when nothing to devastating, of course, compared to what's going on in southern california. but it will be a little off shore wind and then by friday, that's when we come

they come down completely. and that's when everything changes. that's got to happen to get that win to relent in southern california's for that low pressure system move away. we have to get this gradient to kind of break. right. when you've got high, low pressure really close to each other. you get a wind gradient. so that's the difference. now, once that happens, high pressure still hangs out and we still get some really nice temperatures and some sunny skies in all that stuff. but, you know, as far as southern california is concerned, that wind gradient is the thing. it's got to break. and then once that happens, they'll do ok, but tonight they will see the wind go down. i just don't think it'll be enough long enough time for firefighters to really get meaningful containment. >> alright, friday can't come soon enough. thank you, kyra. in san francisco, the medical examiner has identified the victim who was shot and killed at a gas station in the mission district on new yeaos. he was thirty-six-year-old tirado day of garcia of san francisco. the shooting happened at 12. 25 early on january first and officers say they found garcia suffering

coupled that it can move very fast. and i think it caught a lot of people off guard. >> and bay area, firefighters, all too familiar as we have experienced, devastating wildfires here. several crews still en route. they should be arriving tonight and even should be arriving right about now. once they arrive on scene, they will receive their assignments. most of them are expected to help with the palisades fire, the largest fire of the 5. back to you. all right. go. >> yeah. but that altadena fire is it's just tearing down homes as well. so they are stretched as thin as you could be. and as we speak of emergency officials who are, you know, they've been working around the clock trying to coordinate the state's response to those fires down south. yeah, our capitol correspondent eytan was is reporting now from the cal oes state operation center. it's near sacramento. >> and he shares the story of a state senator whose family had to evacuate. yeah, here at cal oes officials have screens

very surreal moment for state senator saucer in a pet is. >> in all literally hits close to home. not only is the eaton fire near pasadena, burning in her district. >> but several for family members in the area had to evacuate my on my brother, my cousins, you know, all live in sierra madre. >> and and have all had to evacuate more than anything. i just want folks to know, you know, if you're receiving an evacuation warning to take that very seriously and and to prepare to evacuate. meantime, president joe biden holding this briefing with governor gavin newsom. an emergency officials in santa monica newsom thanking biden for committing an additional 15 helicopters and signing a major disaster declaration, freeing up more federal resources for southern california on all mr. president, thank you for being here. but with the fire now comes the politics and the blame game. president-elect donald trump writing this post on his social media platform blaming newsom for the

situation after trump says the governor did not sign off on a trump backed declaration. trump says would have allowed more water deliveries and supplies to southern california. >> to ease dry conditions. trump writing in part, quote, i will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to flow into california. he is the blame for this newsom's communications director responding with this quote, there is no such document as the water restoration declaration that is pure fiction. the governor is focused on protecting the people not playing politics and making sure firefighters have all the resources they need. and i'm told the state operation center will continue to be activated until the fires are brought under control. reporting at cal oes headquarters near tom wallace. >> kron 4 news. >> and whether such a big part of this story as we take a live look here down in southern california. word is about to get dark. but crews fortunately this afternoon we're able to get back up into the air with planes and

helicopters to fight this fire from above. yeah, at least to give them tool, very important tool to fight this thing from the air. >> kron four's meteorologist kathy trafton joins us now with a look conditions. >> weather conditions are still pretty dire. there. >> pts right flag warnings. that's a particularly dangerous situation. red-flag warnings have expired but regular red flag warnings continue for ventura county and from los angeles county with really gusty winds. still 30 to 40 55 mile per hour winds. and you know what, overnight thursday night tomorrow night into friday. the winds strengthen again. those gusty offshore winds coming out of the north-northeast. we'll strengthen again with 50 to 60 mile per hour gust in the typical santa ana locations. and even gusting to 70 in some of the isolated peaks. and then finally on friday, it dies down. here's why we have the winds with high pressure and low pressure. get too close together. the pressure

gradient tightens and that's what really stimulates the winds counter clockwise flow with a low pressure clockwise with the high pressure and all that converges and really brings u.s. east really strong winds. low pressure will move away. and once it does, that's when the winds will finally begin to relax. air quality is downright terrible in the fire locations, moderate to poor to very poor air quality showing up in the southern california, the fires. but for us, it's a very different scenario. yes, high pressure is bringing us the beautiful weather little bit offshore breezes. beautiful air-quality. very good. wish we could send that down to los angeles, but we're seeing nothing but the greens weather headlines then showing for us in the bay area are offshore flow continues. but it weekends we're seeing some off offshore winds gusting to maybe 40 miles per hour in the hills here. quiet again tonight. the offshore flow continues. and thursday, we get sunshine as mild dry.

that's tomorrow with the offshore winds strengthening again, little bit, but not as extreme as the last event. grant vicki. all right. thank you, kathy, to the east bay. now today, former. >> congresswoman barbara lee formally announced her bid for mayor of oakland. the special election is in april and lee joins a list of candidates that includes a former council member. but as kron four's philippe djegal reports to daily's broad range of supporters say she's the right person for the job. >> following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the u.s. senate. former congresswoman barbara lee officially jumped into oakland's mayoral race wednesday after representing the town nationally since chose not to seek re-election last year and in a pre produced video released online, she says she will now focus on turning a fiscally strapped and crime plagued oakland around. together we can make oakland it's become for innovators and dreamers. in a statement, lee says in
