that's not good. yeah, we don't like that combination. and this time of year, we start to talk about it. it seems like a lot more. we've got a pretty calm past couple few years for wildfires, but this weekend was reminder of why that hot, windy weather is not a good combo for sure. we're looking outside at the east bay hills, nothing but sunshine overhead. the areas like berkeley, you're not going to be under red flag warning, but you head further inland up into the delta and we will be seeing red flag warnings up there. winds right now. definitely breezy astin vacaville at was peak around 20 to 30 miles per hour. those are the same spots that we do have red flag warnings in solano county, upper elevations of napa and lake counties as well. these will continue until 08:00pm this evening as humidity falls this afternoon and temperatures build current temperatures are in the 50's to 60's with alameda and oakland at 62 60 degrees. well, nevada at 57 right now. so temps are rising and rising quickly by the afternoon, nearing 90 for some inland areas. i'll talk about

their last day. that golden gate bridge coming in at a 24 minute commute. james and ariel, send it back to you. all right. let's get back to our fire coverage. we are following the point fire, which is burning in sonoma county. that's grown in size. more than 1000 acres now and there are evacuation orders that have been >> put in place as well. rob was will tran is live in healdsburg would look at fire fight will. what can you tell us? >> the evacuation orders are still in place. they have not lifted. in fact, they have police officers at certain locations not allowing anybody to go in there and less. you are resident. and even at that point, you can only go in there for a certain amount of time. grab some of your belongings that you might have forgotten. and then you have to leave the location. this is off the west dry creek in healdsburg. couple of police officers here. they're not even allowing workers to go inside to grab their tools in case they're tools, get incinerated by the fire. now, in the meantime, we will move

the camera to the right and it has gotten smoke here as the morning has moved on. look at that. you can barely see the ridge line. we have firefighters here, of course, and they will be here for the duration and they expect things to get worse before it gets better, especially especially with low humidity. rising temperatures. here are the latest numbers. 1100 acres burned 20% contained. so obviously the fight is still very young. let me show you the video. this actually broke out yesterday afternoon started with us the couple of dozen acres. but then it grew so quickly that they told people they had to get out of their homes. not exactly how many people had to be evacuated, but we do know that they have a high school that they can go to enforce ville, which is about 12 miles from this location. should they need to go there if they don't have any other place to stay. the fire grew so quickly that it destroyed several buildings. fortunately, nobody injured or anybody killed by

the fire. but the fire department they immediately took to the sky, try to contain the fire. but with the windy conditions and we do expect the winds to pick up the fear moving forward is all the embers will jump from ridgeline to ridgeline and make the fire even bigger. then what it is. in the meantime, they are making sure that people only authorize will be allowed to go through this location. we showed you this morning. we saw some people coming here removing livestock. otherwise, that's pretty much about it. workers are showing up driving down this road and they're being turned away right now. i know you cannot smell it at a home, of course. but let me be your nose for you. it smells extremely smoky to the point where when we came up here driving through santa rosa, which is 19 miles away. we can smell the smoke, even with our windows up. back to you. wow, thanks for that. yeah. and so people are going to see smoke smell smoke from that fire.

>> plus, just all around the state. there are some other fires were going in the warmer weather. and that is always a concern as we hit the summer months. so let's take a look first at what's going on in sacramento. there's a big brush fire and it is threatening homes and it has forced evacuations is called the excelsior fire 900 acres burned so far in south sacramento. but nobody's been hurt. some outbuildings have been damaged. however, the sacramento regional strike team ashley was on their way to los angeles and they were called back to stay in sacramento. meantime, strike teams from placer county and yolo county and los angeles they are in los angeles this morning. they're all helping to put out a post fire. that's the one they needed aid for. it started saturday night near highway 5 in gorman in northern los angeles county. and this is the biggest. >> over 14,000 acres of that, that looks like a skies on fire. the fire is burning out of control. it's only 2% contained at this hour. and

farther east in san bernardino county. there's the hysteria and fire. this one is about 1100 acres. it's near highway one. 73. and it has prompted evacuation warnings. just warnings at this point. they're not sure how this one started, but they know why it's spreading quickly moving north. and that is because of the high winds. >> on the south bay, a grass fire burned about 19 acres in san jose on saturday. it's now 100% contained. so that's the good news there. crews stop that fire from spreading near san felipe and loss u.s. roads. no buildings were damaged. but 3 buildings were affected by a fire in san francisco where firefighters say this fire actually went in between the walls of the buildings. this is video from the citizen app. it broke out yesterday on the 800 block of kearney and columbus right at the stern school in the financial district. firefighters say no injuries were reported. no one displaced. the school wasn't in session at the time.
