top gusts here was mount saint helena right around 5:00 this morning at 64mph. i haven't seen anything that gusty here in the past few hours at mount saint helena, but we still are clocking some strong winds, as you can see right now on the current gusts, most of the lower elevations 15 to about 20. so not a big concern for a lot of the populated zones up towards mount saint helena, though we're up to 39. mount diablo, with some strong winds coming out of the north here at 43. so the big headline here is, as we roll through tonight, we're still looking at some of these isolated gusts, 15 to about 35mph that still could get up there for the lower elevations and the mountains 40 to about 50. but look at how that wind calms down for tomorrow morning. it's only 3 to 18mph. we would continue to see that wind cacalming do through tomorrow afternoon and evening. so again, i think tonight we get through that and we're good to go here across the bay area. southern california likely going to stay under strong winds all the way through tomorrow evening. so here's the deal.
