several hours or we're going to continue to see this driving rain across this region the national weather service this one will likely see historic flooding in many areas as a result of hurricane valley it's still a category 2 storm it does seem to be losing a bit a bit different but not enough to matter at this point and the real issue is it just broke through this to get up and move away it has moved across the shoreline but it's been no with curry to clear this area and so that the kind of thing that we're dealing with here right now and will continue to deal with for the next happened to 8 hours or so we know that power's out to more than $400000.00 people across the region i'm afraid that number is going to climb as well again we just heard when you take a beating this really just the opening of what's going to be a long and very difficult right here. and as i was saying earlier storms on the only natural disaster affecting the u.s. several states on the west coast are still battling record fires are again as the latest hot spot and present donald trump has approved its disaster declaration

well we will have some cooling centers for them to move over to the national weather service has warned about high wind gusts over the next few days the hills have become a big concern for residents. the threat of fire is all too familiar. but the earlier threat and the potential for losing power has become alarming it said terrible thing we're left in this heat and we don't have air conditioning or who is going to waste until we have a fully resilient. >>power network. >>this is what they need to do and we've all experienced in this community, firsthand what happens when you have a power line go down during a high wind event. >>we don't want that. >>the mayor says if the interconnection hub works as planned it should be able to fire up the electricity within a couple of hours which is better than having to wait several days for the electricity to come back on pg and e has set up community resource centers for those that will be affected by these potential power shut off one of those is located and angwin at pacific union college another one here in calistoga at highlands christian fell

the national weather service also want people to be aware that this is going to be a very long weatherhe eye is here, doesn't mean flooding is going to stop and this rain is going to stop. it's going to stay here for a while and it's going to bring upwards of 30 inches of rain, pensacola, florida right now nut panhandle, destin florida as far as east as that and even further, pensacola is completely under water right now, that's not exactly the case right now. i do want to mention for those of you wondering, we are above ground -- i'm sorry, above sea level right now. right in this bay. yesterday we were here. there were winds and storm surge up on the ground. it's not here right now. back to you. brian: all right, ashley. thanks so much. hang in there the wind looks like it's getting worse. 20 minutes before the top of the hour. janice dean is tracking hurricane sally's path right now. janice, what's changed? janice: not much. it's still moving very slowly at 3 miles per hour. so we had a landfall and by the way the last time we had a hurricane make landfall in alabama, 2004 ivan. it'

well of course the smoke is still a huge problem but the latest news is that the national weather service in the united states is predicting heavy rains for this part of the country thunderstorms in oregon that will be very good news in terms of bringing the fires under a greater degree of containment the bad news is that heavy rains claws flash floods the national weather service is warning that steep terrain that has been burned could also. be subject to read flows from the rain so authorities are warning people who live in these areas to be on guard or in wild oregon firefighters steadily chipped away at the fires there bringing them under a greater degree of containment the many fires burning in this state and some of the evacuation orders in certain areas have been either a lesson or lifted but in california the focus again is on that fire that we discussed in the report a few moments ago it's burning in the eastern suburbs of los angeles and it's proved to be very difficult to bring under control it's called the bobcat fire and it's only 3 percent contained the fire is burning in st

a key element would be a national weather service declared red flag warning, which the weather service says is unlikely over the weekend. but, if any wildfire threatens to short out or topple power lines, that could force localized power shutoffs, and be warned, in extreme heat, power equipment can and does fail, especially sunday and monday. >> with these triple-digit temperatures, there could be some heat-related outages in the areas where it's 100 degrees or more for a long period of time, so we want our customers to be prepared. >> reporter: pg&e will have some cooling centers over the weekend where warranted. >> these cool be centers will take covid-19 rules into account with regards to washing >> cal iso said they do not expect demand to outstrip the available electricity supply, and therefore anticipate no rolling blackouts. however, if enough power plants were to shut down for technical reasons, the remote possibility of rolling blackouts still exists. here is where it gets complicated and a bit scary. in santa rosa, which is activating a cooling center, an excessive heat watch

the national weather service is thinking these fire weather conditions will continue through about 9:00 tonight and they will allow this red flag warning to expire at this point but we are also dealing with some really hot temperatures. let's talk about our winds because the wind direction and the wind speed makes a huge difference in the fire behavior. and we've seen in parts of the north bay we have more of the northerly wind but then when you go from the south of those areas you have a southerly wind. where we, too, have these two wind channels meeting up, it's just funneling through some of those hills and valleys across parts of the north bay fanning those flames. now as we go into the day tomorrow, looks like we'll see more of a southerly wind picking up and that's going to bring in slightly more humidity but still very hot and we'll have these wind gusts so as the fires burn most likely they'll change and shift direction and that's the reason we do have new evacuation orders in effect. you can check out all of that information on nbcbayarea.com and also the app is a great tool

notably the national weather service and other federal forecast agencies on upcoming period of risk to verify that this is a risk period to be concerned with. and eventually all forecast agencies that we talked to are aligned this is a significant event. the national weather service has issued red flag warnings for most of northern california, that are going to begin to go into effect this evening. they also indicate peak wind gusts at this event could be near 50 miles per hour in many areas in that kind of sierra footprint i mentioned as well as elevated peaks and ridges and the north bay and elsewhere. but some local areas could see higher gusts than that. so that is quite possible at an event like this. and then other federal forecast agencies said the northern and southern geography center and the noaa storm prediction center, and so there is alignment across agencies that this is a high risk event. i want to touch on a few areas where we made some improvement this is year over last year. the first is that we partnered with some external experts to develop a new high resolution mod
