with it, either. so that's what's concerning us, is the lack of rain that follows the lightning strikes, and is not going to put any fires out on its own that it could potentially start. >> because of the lightning risk, air tech crews got an early up ready to fly in spot fires at 8:00 this morning instead of 10. with the lightning on the rise cal fire is preparing for problems with extra personnel and engines. a monsoon like weather system from southern california is already producing dozens of dry lightning strikes. fire officials say the areas most at risk are the mountains between the son nora pass and the oregon border. hundreds of firefighters are heading north as a precaution. fire crews are fighting a huge fire 120 miles northeast of sacramento. the fire has burned more than 6800 acres and is threatening two dozen homes. containment isn't expected until at least wednesday. as we said there could be more thunderstorms in that area today. fire crews are expected to

keep an eye on a grass fire in santa cruz county today. 250 firefighters, four air tankers and two helicopters fought hard to put out the las cumbres fire on saturday. after five hours their efforts were successful. more than 6 acres burned near boulder creek. officials say the battle was the biggest because of the rough terrain. >> tough access, one way in or out. there was evacuations it would have been difficult to get fire equipment in and residents out. >> c.h.p. and santa cruz sheriff's departments were on hand in the afternoon to assist with roadblocks and evacuations. good morning to you. a warm-up is under way for your sunday and if you are craving more sunshine we have that on the way as well. we're waking up with gray skies, northeast and south along the coast, patchy drizzle. fog out there this morning. but again, it will tear away to mostly sunny skies for most only lingering at the coast.

the system that brought us the dry lightning pulled in the monsoonal moisture yesterday. now well to the north. areas the northern edge of california continue with that, red flag warning still in place there. here at home a ridge of high pressure nudging this way and it will actually be with us into next week. that is going to bring us a big warming trend, and eventually, it may be a little too hot for you to handle in some spots. but this is what we're looking at for today. widespread, 70s to low 80s for the warmest areas with more sunshine, upper 80s in store for the inland areas tomorrow, and then getting into the 90s by tuesday. mid to upper 90s by wednesday and thursday. current temperatures right now, 65 degrees in fairfield under mostly sunny skies. 60s, concord, livermore, still mostly gray. 62 in san jose, mostly gray. 60 santa rosa, gray skies there and along the coast you already know, 57 san francisco and cloudy conditions. if you are going out to sunday streets today it will be fairly

space craft will encounter as it's flying through the atmosphere and just how accurately we can expect to land. >> once on martian soil, curiosity will begin a mission that could last up to two years or more, investigating martian geology to determine if the red planet or the area it will land in was ever hospitallable for life. here at nasa aims, the doors open to the public at 4:00 this afternoon. there will be scientists to chat with about the mission and there will be demonstrations here at nasa aims that show how the research center contributed to this mission. again, curiosity is expected to land at 10:31 p.m. tonight. and there will be a live viewing of mission control for the public right here at nasa aims. mountain view, ken prichard, ktvu. it's now 11 minutes past 9. hitting the skies can be expensive. so when you see a good deal you go for it. how a half off sale on southwest airlines cost passengers much more than they
