now in the sierra and also in the north bay. as we move on throughout the overnight hours, we will see some shift in these winds as well further south. and you'll see some stronger winds developing in the bay area proper outside the north bay as well. overwhelm these winds will continue into thursday. and we'll see at times these winds remain gust and he breezy all the way through friday morning. they're also off the edge of this map. another area of reverse santa ana winds in kern and bakersfield area, coming tough tehachapi. and this area will also be critical for fire weather for those areas as well. the national weather service has issued extensive red flag warnings in the northern california geographic area coordination center. considers this a high-risk situation. by all metrics, this is forecasted to be the strongest offshore wind event since october, 2017. conditions being forecast historically have led to catastrophic wildfires. and pg&e meter meteorology is actively monitoring the weather for this situation round-the-c

west slopes of the sierra nevada and lake tahoe. winds are anywhere from 5 to 50 miles per hour, could be gusting to 40. relative humidity 15 to 20%. back home, upper elevation winds offshore. 15 miles per hour around mount tam. closer to that around mount diablo. with the fires in the vicinity, we have an air quality advisory for hazy skies. air quality will be moderate. you may notice the haze out there. fire weather index is low for the entire bay area except the higher elevations. we're looking at just a little bit of a breezier winds. because the fuels are so dry, the relative humidity is dry. always a tough time this time of year. things are going in the right direction. 49 in walnut creek. upper 30s in santa rosa. and temperatures this morning as much as 18 degrees cooler than we were yesterday. so there is a look at the golden gate bridge. the driving, some outages in the north bay, otherwise we're good for mass transit and on the bay. fleek week, fantastic, 70s today, low 70s tomorrow, sunday, upper 60s. swru you have to ha

and the southern portion of the sierra foothills. we immediately began patrolling and restoring our customers at that time. the remaining areas of the north bay and the northern part of the sierra foothills remain out of service until weather conditions improve at noon which was consistent with forecasts. as of noon shortly after all counties with the exception of kern were declared all clear. we have been restoring customers ever since. i will say that kern county itself the all clear for kern is actually projected to occur at noon tomorrow. we are going to file the same cadence and monitor weather conditions. if there is an opportunity to pull that in if winds decrease earlier than forecasted we will begin that restoration sequence as well. we restored approximately 100 to 125,000 customers. since these all clears have been issued. we have roughly 56,000 customers out of service still. the numbers are dropping fast. our crews are making great progress. that is possible due to the amount of resources we have out there. we have over

the second phase in the sierra foothills area started and is ongoing over the next couple of hours. also was part of our second phase we are continuing to monitor whether in the east bay, south bay and santa cruz areas and we will be making a decision about the timing later this evening because what has changed from the discussion we had yesterday is that there is a shift in the timing of the weather pattern. we may be able to delay the start time. additionally there were some questions about the impact of some of our mass transit infrastructure yesterday regarding the call the cot tunnel. we were able to provide backup generation and that is currently in place serving the tunnel. that should not be impacted as a result. in addition to that we were able to mitigate in the half moon bay area we were able to reconfigure the supply to that tunnel and mitigate the impact we have also provided backup generation to two of our bart stations so that we minimize any potential impact to bart service as part of our process. in total the second phase of the shut off impacts approximately 250,00

the counties are largely located in the sierra foothills. and the north bay. parts of mendocino county are potentially included as well as parts of san mateo county. we began proactively contacting potentially impacted customers this afternoon. 48 hours ahead of the event. by phone email and text. this means if you do not receive notification from pg&e you are not currently in the area we anticipate turning off the power. other than parts of san mateo county and some of napa and sonoma counties in the north bay we do not expect shutoffs in the remainder of the bay area. in terms of what is next we will continue to monitor the forecasted wind event. and update our customers and communities accordingly. over the next day or so we will determine if an exactly where we will turn off the power depending on how weather conditions change. once the winds are subsided we give our army of field personnel the all clear. which means they can begin inspecting powerlines and other equipment and the impacted areas. we repair any damage from the wind we find. we turned the po

closely going forward now currently 36,000 people in the north bay are without power a 143,000 in the sierra foothills as well so we've got different pockets the other thing that they talked about today was the fact that they are working hard to try to get this electricity restored. after these winds. they wanted to be restored. come tomorrow midday or friday midday. so that would put us in the 24 to 48 hour range trying to do in a faster process and they might be able to do that because they're now using a chp helicopter. that can survey those lines in the overnight hours they weren't able to use that before they weren't using that before are usina that now so their crews are now working in the nighttime hours and also the daytime hours as well. now we talk about some of the concerns and frustrations today. number of people frustrated over the fact some of the power in the north bay went off before 3 o'clock today, 45. 2 an hour or so before that time we talk with pg e about that this afternoon, here's what they had to say about that and here's what they had to say about the current fire ri
