move it out pretty quick. you see it starts to clear out. so we'll be tracking it for you. around here, we've got red flag warningings so talk about. look at the heat. san francisco, that's the airport, 81 degrees. very telling of the wind direction. we talked about it. we got next 24 hours, a high fire danger. that's why the red flag warning went up for the east bay hills, north and east bay hills. this red flag warning now towards fairfield will be dropped. that will be dropped about 7:00. our red flag warning has gone into effect in the hills and it will stay in effect through tomorrow morning, early. so we're anticipating some winds, 25, 30 miles an hour, heat as well. is it going to be crazy hot? no. but this time of year, low 90's, that's pretty hot. you'll see humidity down in the teens easily. and of course, fire danger is huge this time of year because

it's a mediterranean climate. it doesn't really rain in any great amount all through summer. we haven't had any significant rain really this entire period. tomorrow, warmer still. that's why that red flag warning stays into effect. cooler as we head into the bay area weekend but still above- average temperatures. these are the forecast highs for tomorrow. 87 in fairfield. 90 in santa rosa. lots of low 90's out in brentwood, livermore, 90 in danville. some areas will get into the low 90's. other areas in the upper 80's. suffice to say it's going to be a pretty hot day tomorrow. it's all relative. this wouldn't be hot for august necessarily. the five-day forecast with your bay area in view. of course, in st. louis, i'm sure they're thinking about getting those tarps off. one of the things we noticed, there's a secondary squall line kind of moving in behind this, so they may get the tarps off, but they may -- it depends.

they have a couple innings left to go. so we'll see how it goes. right now looks like they can get the tarps off. >> we saw debra earlier. she was miserable! getting away with it. laws are getting tougher on people who drive while texting. but just how many are actually getting caught in the act?
