around and that was the primary concern. wind still a factor right now. starting at camera at 8:40 and the fire very active at 8:40 and later in the 9:00 hour. that wind moving from west to east and so is the smoke plume, and so the smoke tracking to the east and the wind also disperses some of that smoke, so that is the one good quality of the wind, but that salsa a concern with the fire crews. here is a closer inspection of the mapping system with the fire for reference, towards university avenue, just to the north of university avenue for this part of the region. and as far as the wind, as i mentioned they are moving from west to east, so that the smoke plume over the berkeley hills this evening. the latest wind speeds around this region you can see oakland airport winds out the west at 14 miles per hour. i saw some berkeley winds around 10-15 miles per hour.

strongest wind out towards fairfield with a wind gust up to 35 miles per hour. so you get an idea we have a moderate to strong wind across the bay area. so humidity levels the moisture levels have been up all evening long. we'll continue to keep an eye on the wind speeds and fog will be a big factor in forecast coming up at 10:35. >> thank you very much, mark. we have team coverage on this breaking news. >> ktvu's debora villalon is live at the scene with the latest of what is going on with the firefight. >> reporter: the fire has been burning for at least two hours and i can tell you in the last few minutes that the flame and smoke have finally laid down. you can see the ladders and the firefighters up top. they have the aerial hoses and putting a lot of water on this property. still spraying, but we're seeing a noticeable difference in the amount of smoke.

caused this fire go up so fast. we're still waiting for a briefing from berkeley fire and they have been way too busy, literally on the run, laying hoses, dealing with downed power lines. so we expect to bet an update from them, but it certainly looks like they have a turned a corner and gotten on top of this fire now. reporting live in berkeley, debora villalon ktvu channel 2 news. thank you debora. that is certainly good news. those driving along interstate 80 could not miss the flames and smoke and patti lee continues with the traffic troubles near the fire scene. >> reporter: we're live on the university overpass where you can see a virtual sea of lights, the white headlights of thousands of cars traveling on 80 west. once they cross under the overpass you can see it's just a sea of red taillights a virtual parking lot and to the

right, thousands of flashing red emergency vehicle lights. that is where the fire is and when you think about how long this back-up has been plaguing this stretch of 80, you realize just how big, just how raging that fire is to be able to cause a back-up for this long. we have the only people who are really moving are people on foot, which you can see here, folks who decided to get up and walk and folks who were forewarned and got off to use the overpass. so we will be here all night and give you updates. we're hoping to catch up with debora in a little bit, monitoring the fire, patti lee, ktvu channel 2 news. >> and our coverage of the berkeley fire will continue throughout this newscast. if we get any additional updates on the firefight as well as any traffic troubles we'll be sure to bring them to
