this is the diablo wind. it's the reverse of the cooler ocean breeze. what happens is dry air travels from inland california. moves over our mountains including mountain diablo where the name comes from and then pushes down in to the valleys. now the important weather process that happens, when you get dry air moving down the mountains. the air molecules get compressed. you get friction that is created, temperatures warm up and the air dries o and that is what makes a diablo wind so dangerous. >>> and that's what we are going to see as we hit wednesday night in to thursday. you see, wednesday night, winds 20-30 in the north bay. that's the number one risk here. we will probably have calm winds in san jose is the same time and the mountain gusts could be up to 50 miles an hour. wednesday night in to thursday morning. you can see it here and then as we move through thursday afternoon, we will see the wind calm down. so the extended forecast has us up to 87 in san francisco by thursday. we are down to a cooler 69 on sunday. and 60s to start next week. inla

mount diablo 75. everybody else and a lot of the major communities sfo or oakland. it got windy. 25 miles per hour gusts is not enough for a wind advisory. this just enough you will notice it was windy if you were out in the morning or afternoon. let's put perspective on this. we go back to when we hit our peak gusts early morning. the brunt of the colors clearly outline all of the mountain ranges. we are not registering much in the lower elevations. as far as the mount st. helena reading at 77. just on the northern edge of napa valley. silverado trail and work your way to the head of the valley. that is where we hit the strongest wind. 16 mile per hour gusts in petaluma. that is the strongest it got. this whole event. that is right in line with the way it looked like this was going to play out. the same thing for the east bay hills. diablo range here of the east bay hills. that is where you pick up the right colors. we don't see much at all for the rest of the area where we live. there is mount diablo with 75 mile per hour gusts. we did notice a st of gu 25morn hou

strong shaking near mount diablo. we might find some furniture moved, even plaster in the walls might have cracks in it, which goes along with moderate to light shaking. you can see the aftershocks. we have primarily seen have been at a 2.0 and lower over the past hour. but you can see how active it continues to remain right here around pleasant hill. so certainly a swarm of activity tonight. we're going to continue to track this. i just do want to reiterate that while this was a 4.5, there is the chance this could be a foreshock to a larger earthquake. i don't want to alarm anyone, but just remember, drop, cover and hold. and if we do have a larger earthquake that happens, do not run out of a building. that is one of the number one ways that people do get killed during earthquakes. so it's a great thing to think about your flashlights, your radio, everything you need to it's dark outside. if we got a big earthquake, it would be hard to hurry up and get all that stuff you need. so think about that right now. be safe.

diablo could be gusting near 60 miles an hour, from 40 to 60 miles per hour.the day, the relative humidity these numbers will continue to drop adding to the dry atmosphere. our high fire danger, red flag warning until 11:00 tomorrow with the gusts 35 to 60 miles an hour. you can see just inside the bay here, we're not looking at those extreme conditions but the high wind warning for where everyone lives where we're looking at winds from 30 to 40 miles an hour. check on the winds here and guys, 59 degrees it's cool but the humidity 10%, east wind at 15, gusting to near 30 miles an hour. so today we're in the 70s. it's hazy. it is breezy. and the winds will be up as you go up in height from 500, to 600 feet. talking very gusty winds. the accuweather seven-day forecast, high fire danger today, continues to be gusty tomorrow morning and then we'll see the winds lighten up. the temperatures stay rather seasonal 60s and 70s but by tuesday night into wednesday, we could see another much smaller offshore wind event. we have to get through this one first, obviously. >>
