the eaton fire, the palisades fire, the new fire that sparked yesterday and today. and the otto fire and the hurst fire, we're going to continue to see these winds calming down later tonight. that's good news. there will be a quiet period overnight before the winds pick up tomorrow morning. by tomorrow afternoon, we are, once again, going to be looking at another high wind event. but 40 to 60 miles an hour gusts, compared to the 80 to 1 is 00 miles an hour gust that started this event. it won't be nearly as dangerous as what we saw last week. by thursday, much quieter, much calmer winds would have arrived. even a little bit of moisture, which is really great news. the winds are finally begin to switch directions because right now, they're coming in straight from east to west. again, with more moisture on the way later this week, that is really great news when it comes to hopefully being able to put a little bit more containment on these wildfires. but does that mean any of that moisture is heading for us here in the bay area? i'll let you know what that means for us

the eaton fire, now at 10,600 acres. and the danger, as she said, is far from over and in fact, is getting worse by daylight. you can see not only the destruction of the eaton fire there in the pasadena area, but the fire that also continues to burn in the areas where there isn't really much left to burn. and there are also injuries among the residents there and also among the firefighters. now, overnight, a pasadena nursing home had to be evacuated. and you see health care workers pushing some of the patients away in wheelchairs. there was aity bus that came to pick them up because there weren't enough ambulances. the evacuation order warned of immediate threat to life, the wildfires, raging unchecked and again, is now more than 10,000 acres. at a press conference today, fire and law enforcement from around l.a. county echoed the same message. they said, if you are told to get out, you have to get out. we want to make sure that everybody understands we are absolutely not out of danger yet. but if you are told to evacuat

and the eaton canyon fire here winds right now 15 to 35.his is also better than this time last night when those gusts were up to 80 90mph as well. looks like the way the fire is burning. and at this point, stay along that ridge line here to the top. but as we well know and we've seen in the video, you get some embers from this moving down to some of the populated areas and things are catching on fire. so those are the two largest fires we're tracking on the wind. i can show you here tonight. most of the lower elevations are ten to about 30mph. but notice some of this bright color here in the mountains. that's where those gusts still could be 40 to 60 this evening. we'd stay with a similar picture here. not as gusty in the valleys. mountains still 40 to 60 into tomorrow night. and then let me sw you friday evening. here we go. watch this. there you go. wind starts to really calm down. and that's when firefighters will be able to e of those air drops. so right now, red flag fire warning extended until 6 p.m. on friday for some of those gusty

the eaton fire, 33% contained. at least 24 people have died in the fires. two dozen people are still missing. just under 100,000 people in l.a. county are still under evacuation orders. half of the number last week. the sheriff asked for patience as they search for more victims. >> people are saying i just want to look at my house and see what is left. we know that. but we have people literally looking for the remains of your neighbors.. >> l.a. county da announced criminal charges against 10 people. nine for looting and one for arson not related to the major fires, dozens of people arrested for crimes linked to the fire. one addressed dressed as a firefighter. >>> homeowners claim video of the early moments of the fire points to electrical equipment. though, an official cause has not been determined. >>> so, while the palisades and eaton fires did not grow much overnight firefighters have been busy putting out the hot spots as we saw. last week a tiny ember can fly for miles the crews were in the neighborhoods where the eaton fire leveled homes. we are liv

but here's the problem with the eaton fire. more of the activy is down around the altadena area and east of la canada flintridge, so with less wind, fire crews are able to make some ground up. but you saw the view from the mount wilson cam. all the unhealthy air across southern california. look how those offshore winds continue to keep unhealthy to hazardous air quality across the l.a. basin. now here's the issue as we head into the weekend, wind speeds, which did come down today, are set to rise up again by as we head into sunday morning here, wind gusts back up there to 40 to 60mph. high wind watches and red flag warnings still in effect for the mountains of southern california, and our own weather as we move forward into the weekend. about to see some dry, gusty conditions as well. a closer look at our own wind advisory coming up in our forecast in about eight minutes. rob, thanks very much. a cal football player is one of the many who've lost their home in the southern california wildfires. the eaton fire destroyed camden j

also, the eaton fire here in altadena. so let's get you to the very latest here as we continue through tomorrow, also into wednesday. we're under this high fire threat here in southern california. we're talking about winds 30 to 70 coming out of the north and the east. so it's another santata ana wind event. very, very dry and gusty winds, sustained winds 15 to 40 and humidity 5 to 20%. now, while these winds are still bad on the scale of things, it does not look like it's going to hit that threshold of what we saw last week when we had hours on end of a 100 mile per hour winds and some of the mountains, but yet it is still going to be very dry, very gusty and could spread those fires. here's the other thing. no big rain chances. the next two weeks i've got more checks in our weather coming up in about ten minutes. all right jeff, thanks so much. bay area firefighters continue to join the firefight in southern california. the santa clara unit of cal fire, based in morgan hill, has sent numerous resources, including its hel

relative humidity right now at the eaton fire is 16%, so critically dry there. the red flag warning is widespread for areas over southern california stretching into ventura county, and the wind gusts could reach anywhere from 40 to 50mph in the mountains. some isolated areas could reach 50 to 70mph, so this continues again for the next few days. for us, wind advisory expires at 10 a.m. we mean, we may see another wind advisory pop up for our bay area as well, just due to that offshore flow that continues in our pattern is not going to be changing much. oakland north 42 mile per hour winds still reported at this hour. mount saint helena still reporting 39. atlas peak 17. if we do, if you do have some wind out there, chances are you're starting out in the 50s this morning. if you have gone calm, you might be in the 30s, including areas over the north bay valleys. we've got to 14 degrees colder this morning in novato. we are a couple of degrees colder in livermore as well as concord, but concord 37 degrees outside your door. yesterday was chilly enough. now you're

just home after home has been destroyed by the eaton fire. this little pink tag here signifies that firefighters have actually been here. we saw them go home by home a lot by lot to see how much damage there is. they're assessing all of the damage. the crew we spoke to have seen about 1400 homes. there's about 7000 that have been damaged or destroyed here in just this area. so they have a lot to go through. we've also seen crews working around the clock to try and repair some of the power lines here, so that people who do come back will have power, though so many in this neighborhood will come back to nothing. and then we have that wind event that is already here in some areas, dire warnings coming at a critical stage for firefighters. >> we are not in the clear as of yet, and we must not let our guard down in their nearly week long battle against the deadly los angeles blazes, severe fire weather conditions will continue through wednesday. >> the anticipated winds, combined with low humidities and low fuel moistures, will keep the fire threa

the eaton canyon fire is ripping through a community like i have never seen.like a third world country out there. i would ask that anyone listening, if you do not need to be in the area and you've been evacuated, please hear the evacuation warning and if you don't live in the area, please stay away. well for more on the rapid spread of the fire and its damage, here's our correspondent emma vardy. as dawn broke, la awoke to an apocalyptic site. smoke blocking out the skies over santa monica beach after a terrifying 2a hours. the fire grew at an extraordinary speed, flames raging out of control as hurricane force winds battered the coast. and the fire continues to grow with 0% containment. we have over 500 personnel assigned and unfortunately, we have two reported fatalities to civilians. la county and all 29 fire departments in our county are not prepared for this type of widespread disaster. there are not enough firefighters in la county. along this coastal road, we have been seeing the fires destruction. there is power lines down, patches still smouldering an

one of the for the eaton fire in that area has burned 10,600 acres. we understand there are 750 firefighters working this fire. but you just heard there from the chief. that's still not enough as they wait on these strike teams to arrive and hopefully get a better handle on the fire that's burning in the next 24 hours. when additional help arrives, they estimate between 200 to 500 structures have been lost, but they won't get a full count until they can get an assessment once the entire fire has been put out. so a long road ahead for these firefighters just in pasadena alone as they work on the eaton fire. >> yeah, remember, that is just one of several large wildfires burning across southern california right now, obviously causing so much destruction there. we heard just a moment ago from the fire chief. he says the crews on the ground are exhausted, and they are desperately in need of additional resources, more crews to make their way there to help out in the firefight. and that help is on the way. we're going to get more into that in just a moment h

a lot of the crews were sent into this eaton fire, not the palisades fire. they told us today was almost like whac-a-mole, basically when a hotspot popped up, their job was to go and tamp it down. the reason why, if you look out here in front of me, you can actually see some of these small fires still smoldering in the remains of these homes. the concern is if the winds pick up tonight because we are still under red flag warnings, that embers could be carried up into the air and could then land on some of the homes that have not been burned. those might then catch fire and then you have even more structures lost. so those bay area crews today going around trying to put out these hotspots to make sure that everyone stays safe. now the other part of that is that is why this area is still under a mandatory evacuation because they need people out of the area to do the work that they are doing, but it's also causing a lot of concern for residents who are stuck outside the fire lines. >> i'm trying to find out if that fire is coming from where i live, but i can't
