offshore winds and also dry continuing dry conditions. so life threatening fire behavior, very rapid of spread of fires is quite possible. and also some long-range spotting. the embers could spot new and pick up new fires. so these gusts are really strong and the humidity is really low. big concerns there. also much of southern california is in severe drought. so they everything is dry. and that is also exacerbating the problems. on the other hand, the polar vortex is heading toward the united states. it's already here and areas in the north. it's come. it's cold air from russia from siberia over the north pole and look how chilly now this is the forecast for tomorrow. and of course, tomorrow is inauguration day. so at noon, washington, d.c., well, it could be maybe 20 degrees. but you add in the wind no boy, maybe 10 degrees. and that is why the inauguration ceremony itself will take place inside and even after that, the polar vortex continues to expand.

when our own onshore winds start to kick in 20 to 30 mile per hour gusts across the bay area. even 35 to 50. but when you get up into the north bay interior mountains, that's when the winds are really gonna web. so that's in effect through monday at so we're going to see very, very strong winds. but again, the main concern at this point is what's happening in the eastern part of the u.s. because they have. very cold conditions and also in the southland because we also have a well, terrible santa ana thank you so much that information. very helpful. >> if we close for more fire houses, that will be the end of the oakland fire department as we know it. >> in the east bay, the temporary closure of 2 fire stations in the oakland hills continuing to fuel concerns among firefighters and residents. hundreds of people attended thursday night's virtual town hall hoping officials find a solution. the city is closing for more fire stations this year to philly.

also know that maybe there's some efficiencies in the police department is so or within the city that we can help make sure that police officers are doing their job on the community. police extremely important. people want to interact with their police offices. they want safety. so we have to look at it. if we don't have budget that will allow for or a system that will allow for the hiring more police officers where we need to that we have to look at what we can do inside of our city government. >> and you can watch my entire interview with barbara lee on our website, including whether she'd enforce governor newsom's orders to sweep homeless encampments as story online now at kron 4 dot com. the san francisco unified school district now has a new board president phil kim, who served on the board of education since last august unanimously chosen for the position last week. he served as a public school teacher and education leadership roles for over a decade. the board also

>> alright, 13 this morning live. look at the transamerica. building in san francisco missing. like if you want to head out to the city, you're going to want to have a jacket on kathy?

>> definitely. jacket layers. it all works because it really is chilly outside right now. but in southern california, they're bracing for the next strong santa ana event that starts tomorrow. last at least through tuesday at the same time with these damaging santa ana winds. calm, though, very drastically lower relative humidity and all that makes a high risk for critical fire weather concerns. so this would be for the las angeles and ventura counties. those corridors where the santa ana winds tend to blow up to 80 miles per hour. so this is very dangerous because we could have very erratic fire conditions. in fact, extreme fire conditions and this could be extended through the enn of the week is continued dry weather takes place and also the winds continue. we'll have continuous offshore events. this could be for life-threatening fire behavior. we can certainly see spotting, which means of fires could send embers out and also could strengthen existing fires. so this erratic behavior is really a concern.

these winds could gust to 80 miles per hour at times. and it's very low humidity. and that's what part of the equation that is so concerning all of this against a backdrop of drought, much of southern california is in severe drought. so this is not helping to have this kind of dryness with very little rain since really well since last quite a few months ago. in the meantime, is also the polar vortex to deal with. that is very cold air, low pressure coming over the north pole and stretching all the way across the nation where one of the rare areas we have relatively normal numbers. but the numbers for tomorrow for washington, d.c., with the inauguration. 20. that is the high temperature. but you couple it with the wind chill and that goes down to about 10. so the inauguration takes place at about noon and my goodness, it's really going to be something. and then you watch in the days following that polar vortex drops more and more really cold air below

freezing in much of the united states. back to you, stephanie. all right, kathy, thank you. >> when the weather turns cold, sometimes it's nice to turn up the heat in the kitchen and whip up something on the spicy side. joining us live now with some tasty options. is tony's american chef eric chung, the founder of flaming auxin san jose. good morning to you. i thanks so much for being here with you are a taiwanese american chef and you specialize in the cuisine from that region. tell us a little bit about that. >> okay. so flaming knox is a restaurant that my wife and i opened february of last year. congratulations. actually in a couple weeks is going to be your anniversary. very excited about that. kate gray and what do you specialize in? so our restaurant, we basically highlight some of taiwan's iconic popular dishes. so we obviously specialize in the taiwanese people we also do rice plates like our pork chop

mudslides could cause some flooding. so the good news for them is a navy getting just a little bit. our temperatures just a little bit below normal for today in san francisco and our temperatures are in the 50's just about everywhere. looking for 50's into the 60's in the south bay. 52 sent in half moon bay. 55 for burlingame. it should start to head south a little bit warmer. palo alto, 62 degrees for san jose and santa clara, 60 from milpitas and numbers again, mainly in the 50's, 59 for walnut creek. and as you head to the north bay yacht bill, one of the warm spots at 61 nevado 59 degrees. so for the next 7 days, we are in for another dry spell windy, though, with the wind advisory in effect on monday into tuesday. and then it's just sunny, beautiful conditions. temperatures go a little bit above normal. it's all very lovely for us and maybe a chance of some rain in southern california next weekend. 7. when the weather turns cold. sometimes it's nice to turn up the heat in the kitchen and whip up
