yes, it at all points _ help from mother nature?elp from mother nature? yes, it at all points we have to be i it at all points we have to be cognizant of the weather, and mother nature really right now has set us up for a large fire drills. so we've got to be extremely vigilant to make sure we contain these fires as quickly as possible because we've got high winds until tomorrow morning. and even then, the conditions of this vegetation, as you said, was tender dry — that's the perfect example. it's also on the heels of 200% of the normal rainfall in 2023, 100 of 200% of the normal rainfall in 2023,100 50% of of 200% of the normal rainfall in 2023, 100 50% of the normal rainfall into a 24. so all that adds up to a lot of tender — and when you get into these areas with old—growth vegetation where we have larger vegetation, that's a lot of energyjust vegetation, that's a lot of energy just sitting there waiting to be released. and when these winds come through, then you've got all the components for very fast fire growth. components fo

let's look at what mother nature cooked up for us. the toyota tahoe report is cued up. let's take a look. >> mother nature did not cook up any additional snowfall the last 24 hours, not a surprise given the very dry weather pattern locked in place over the entire western united states, but with the active weather we had to end 2024, all the resorts have a good base and temperatures will be favorable over the weekend for resorts to add some manmade snow, a 2-foot to 6-foot basin generally in the 3 to 5-foot range. winds are not a problem at lake level, but there will be higher gusts on top of some of the peaks. teens and 20s for overnight lows, high temperature at lake level in the 30s, but going up in elevation, high temperatures only in the 20s, good travel conditions on u.s. 50 (light gentle music) - unraveling life's mysteries. at stanford medicine, it's part of our dna. our world class school of medicine and adult and children's health systems work together expanding what we know and sharing what we discover to accelerate breakthroughs and inspire the next generatio

the mother nature really is winning it a lot of ways because the wind is taking golf. you probably see it's play going around here. this is miles, you know, it's expected to get much, much was this evening and then tomorrow you, because by expected you got even worse. that's the policy. it's 5 over the us, the largest one that you're just talking about. you can see the smoke is still rising and it's, it's actually spawning. it's just such a huge distance. it looks like 2 separate flies. that's actually just both sides of it where the bodies to kind of can tell you that for the type big at least. but it's the thing fault for me. i see what these time cuz we've got these helicopters and they're all dropping out of the fire. it's hot and how to all the screw pick out what was that? i thought just taking over half of it because it just happened in the last few minutes. this helicopter, this is from orange county, just came back. it. it'd be hard for the dropping water. it's come by kid. it's got to refuel because like any flight for so long, and then they've got a come bac

and it's because we've had a little help from mother nature, especially in comparison to yesterday's significant winds. they've died down a little bit. so our aircraft is making some strategic water drops. but yet again, it's another iconic location of los angeles that's on fire. >> given those multiple fires, do you have all the resources you need? >> you know, personally for the los angeles city fire department, we would like more firefighters. you know, the city of los angeles is increasing and growing, and our call volume is going up. normally we run about 1500 emergency incidents a day. yesterday we ran almost 4000 emergency incidents. but when you get a large scale incident like this, we have neighbor helping neighbor and that's automatic aid from the nearby fire departments that help us and state mutual aid all across the state of california and even beyond federally assisting especially financial to get the right resources in here. so we are we are asking for help. this is a significantly trying. we do want more firefighters. >> we've seen the l.a. fire department budget rece

it is like mother nature knocking on the windshield. i have the inside scoop. i know the science behind mother nature and i use that to my full ability and i'll let you know, like you said, north bay communities and pushing across the entirety of the bay area. it's not going to treat everyone equally. like you said earlier, north bay communities will be getting in on the majority of the action. while our south bay communities will be lucky to get in a tenth of an inch. over the past couple of hours, the storm has definitely arrived. we aren't seeing too much early this morning. the rain showers have arrived. this leading edge of the storm, i don't know how much of this rain is actually reaching the ground. a lot of it is evaporating. it's bringing low hanging clouds, some mist and some drizzle. it is this line though, that is currently sitting up across the north bay. that is likely bringing us measurable rain fall and continue to push south. again, like reed said, 10:00, 11:00 a.m., this is when we are expecting that leading edge of th

it's a good start, but need mother nature to follow through with some more rain, which we have in the forecast for tonight. let's talk about how it plays out. we'll look at what you need to know. the rain returns to the north bay tonight. for the rest of the bay area it's for the first half of friday. we start to clear out by tomorrow afternoon, partly cloudy skies this weekend, staying dry through the weekend into next week with high temperatures starting to warm up. the longer stretch of dry weather will be accompanied by high temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees above average. let's look at futurecast and look at the labels so you don't lose your bearings. we'll start the radar simulation midnight to 4:00 tomorrow morning and the first showers hit the north bay before the sun comes up tomorrow morning, but well after midnight. the rain will continue to spread out as we approach the peak of rush hour friday. even though it's still lighter than usual traffic with the holiday week, these intermittent showers will slow down traffic. you'll have to splash through puddles, so a little ex

mother nature owned us, owned us those two days. >> despite crews arriving from nine states, dozens of aircraft, and over 1,000 fire engines, they say it's still not enough. >> and there's not enough fire engines for this. we think we've lost 8,000 structures. so times three fire engines each, that requires 26,000 fire engines. i don't think the state of california has 26,000 fire engines. that could be at one place right now. >> here in the bay area fire departments are trying to avoid a similar fate, especially in places with very similar topography. >> good evening. i'm brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. >>> crews in southern california are racing against the clock and mother nature to make as much progress as they can on the deadly wildfires before more strong winds move in this week. >> the total area of the fires that have burned now more than 62 square miles, larger than san francisco at 49 square miles. the palisades fire has sent 23,000 acres up in smoke with still only 13% containment. the eaton fire is at over 14,000 acres with 27% containment. >> the death toll is now up

obviously, you heard him there say they need mother nature to give him a break. are they going to get one? >> unfortunately not. not yet. so we're still looking at another round of winds developing through today and into tuesday, and potentially with critical fire weather conditions lingering into wednesday and thursday across across southern california. >> todd what does that mean in particular for the two fires that are largely uncontained? the eaton fire and the palisades fire? what additional neighborhoods may be threatened and what are the evacuation orders going to look like? >> so we already have we have established over the past week we already have the dry vegetation in place. if we added some very dry air and and very windy conditions across those fires, that changes the fire. weather conditions, those firefighters on the ground are fighting so that that can actually make those fires flare up as they respond to those. and and if you get winds, wind gusts in excess of 50 and 60 and 70mph, that can cause the spotting again, if there's if there's any glowi

there's no health of mother nature and site. so what fire trees have been doing is they've been pulling and other resources from other parts of the country. they've set up stripe teams just in case to see, okay. it may get hot over here in may, you know, be combustible more over a year. so they've had strong teams in place, and they hit this thing this morning with everything they had. it's just, again, it's not fast enough. was or to stay under the weather forecast doesn't seem to be helping the firefighters. and so is there any indication when they will be able to get these blazes under control? so the high waves are supposed to stick around the rest the rest of the week, maybe until thursday night, possibly friday morning, here in southern california. so this fire is probably going to be fueled over the next few days when they actually get some containment. i'm guessing maybe the weekend when a fire crews are able to get some surrounding areas calm down and maybe get a handle on this thing. but it looks like fire crews are go

mother nature kind of easing up on some of those winds tonight. so, yeah, we're soon set the scene lying down, which is a sign of very strong winds. you're seeing that column of smoke almost moving up vertically. and so that's what we want to see. unfortunately. >> it's not going to last a way for very long. here's a look at the forecast overnight tonight. all the sudden you start to see the colors coming in. we get toward tomorrow. there you go. that offshore wind reestablish itself. it's not going to be a strong, but we've got some fires burning already. so that can easily spread those embers and start other fires in southern california they've got a long way to go. in fact, another round winds possibly moving in even stronger than the one expected for tomorrow, possibly about the beginning of this next week. they're watching for the possibility, critical fire danger. this is fire weather, a graphic that shows some of the critical fire possibility showing up overnight tonight into tomorrow. and you start to see some yellow and some orange get to

they want you to think mother nature. nothing mother nature about it. to address it. to stop nature from doing what it does. regardless of what the modern day buffoons say who howl at the moon and howl at climate change we cannot stop the climate from changing. we cannot stop heat and cold and everything in between. we can't and we never will pay the arrogant to those who say we can is quite repulsive quite frankly. these are the same politicians cannot get the trains to run on time as muzzling it would have said. in fact they can't do any of it. somehow they're going to fix the environment by did new teen you of your liberty and your opportunity and your wealth. when government fails when politicians fail, so-called experts and planners and bureaucrats fail they need to be held to account. that's what's taking place in california. they failed. when ideology trumps everything, everything commonsense, knowledge, experience, it cost people their lives. their homes, their property of theandtheir businesses, their a. they create massive amount of pollution the air is dirt

mother nature. national weather service, why are you issuing these frost advisories?'s happening, there is a frost advisory throughout the area, so a friendly reminder to everyone as you are heading out the door and realizing it is 30 degrees in antioch or in livermore, give yourself extra time in the morning, bundle up, make sure the kids are ready to go. the good news is, the kids are going to come home from school today sitting in the 60s, widespread throughout the area, so it'll be a lot more pleasant for them. we are sitting in the upper 50s near san francisco and half moon bay, a little bit of that coastal influence getting us cooler weather and cloudier conditions along the shoreline, that will be noticeable from bodega bay all the way down into half moon bay and pacifica, too. getting a little bit breezier around dinnertime tonight, san francisco will see that onshore breeze up to 17, 18, 19 miles per hour. the big weather story for the rest of the week has nothing to do with the wind or the temperatures, it has to do with rain. finally after a very dry januar

owning us today and probably will the next couple days. >> trace: attention when talking about mother nature as i talk to you last time before we had to go to the guests we talked about assets and the possibility of flames coming in with fire retardant and helicopters and so forth. those haven't been brought in. is it because the wind is too high? >> fixed wing air tankers dropped retardant today a one of our helicopters was up assisting today so i know helicopters flew at length but based on what i'm seeing on the screen the wind is too strong to allow safely at night. there does come a point where aircraft is no longer safe to fly even if they could when they drop their retired and in the water it blows to the quarter-mile away doesn't reach the ground to hit the target just a big exposure. >> trace: chief thank you for your time we appreciate the information is select to you and your team's out there tonight we appreciate what's bringing the resident of neighbouring north santa monica and a search and rescue expert and retired navy captain as well as a national correspondent jeff paul who

it has been a dramatic fire, mother nature has been the start of the show and made it a very challenging for us to fight this five. the wind gusts that usually lay down after the sun goes down amplified and doubled, snr there all night watching the wind with bob do 70, a hundred miles an hour as a scorch the hillside, it was dramatic and apocalyptic. >> martha: tell me about the resources, the people, the water, we always hear about preparation and whether or not there is enough water that has been protected for these kinds of firefights. >> there is all different water systems to help us in residential areas, this area has water tanks and they have 3 million water tanks, so these are not made for 15 our firefights that use, everybody is using the water, they are not designed for that, they are designed for residential, not while the firefighting. they did an incredible job to get back online, the other thing that went against as, we were not able to have our air support once the wind got to strong. a lot of the air support comes from up above we relied on the groundwater to. working wit

i saw you said fingers crossed mother nature the cooperate. how does it look now? evening. the winds will kick up. they are saying maybe 45 mile an hour gusts. that's something to be concerned about. on any normal day if we don't have the fires, we would be fully staffed up ready for the red flag conditions. a big concern is the places that haven't burned. we are ready for deployment here. on this fire, we have everybody in place and pretreated the hills. we're in a good position to handle what happened. >> charles: i know volunteers have come >> all over and other countries. are you okay with all the tools you need right now? >> we do, we have all the tools we need. we have over 5000 firefighters on this fire alone. 540 rigs. 140 dozers and water, we are fully ready to go. they have been working super hard the last seven days. it's pretty incredible. the other people working hard are putting up the power lines and trying to clear things out and get the grid and infrastructure back together. >> charles: it's been a heroic effort to get people home or what is left o

i would caution when you have natural things occurring in nature, in spite of our best efforts mother nature will prevail when she feels necessary. arthel: absolutely best efforts indeed are being applied. the firefighters are determined to extinguish these fires. but right now containment is key. given the return of the santa ana winds, what can we expect in terms of containment? >> containment is going to be difficult at this point. but they have been doing a little bit of a low is cleaning up the lines. sometimes people will see fire activity they think it is wildfire activity. when in reality it's camp crews and people cleaning up the lines they say. will have islands and fingers that need to be burned out so we can have a nice clean containment line. kind of like smooth and the edges off. you have these islands and fingers going off that could potentially create areas where you have an escape. that is problematic. at nighttime, generally the fire it lalays down we get a lot of k done. the years that i have been doing this, one thing that stood out to me over the past 10 years or so is t
