have the previous weekend in the north bay, but certainly 10 to 20 mile an hour offshore winds humidity down to 1020% in the santa cruz mountains with some gusts over the mountain tops a little bit stronger in the east bay, i think there's a concern over the oakland hills again the diablo range expected some 1020 mile an hour winds gusting to probably about 30 over some of the higher peaks humidity dropping off 10 to about 15%. so certainly fire gets started and those conditions it can move pretty fast now we've already got the fire going in the north bay and that's of most concern right now expecting some of those gusts 15 to 25 maybe some 35 mile an hour gusts we're going to see a change in the weather overnight tonight going to see some gusty winds but maybe even stronger winds as we head in toward tomorrow evening places like saint if the rutherford you out though got to watch out there very closely these winds coming out of the north and they're going to be pushing the fire in your direction toward glen allen as well, so certainly some pretty scary fire conditions developing now looks like we are going to see any relief
