Extra weekend outages in Northern California

BREAKDOWN OF THOSE CONDITIONS. KELLY. YEAH, WE ARE EXPECTING SOME VERY GUSTY NORTH WINDS ACROSS THE VALLEY AND THE DELTA TODAY. A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN PLACE. NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THOSE GUSTY NORTH WINDS, WE’RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE VERY LOW HUMIDITY. NOW, ALL THAT BEING SAID, THE TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE GOING TO BE FANTASTIC. IN FACT, BELOW NORMAL FOR MANY LOCATIONS AND THEN CLOSER TO NORMAL TOMORROW. WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE ON THE WAY AS WE HEAD TOWARD NEXT WEEK. RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE A FEW CLOUDS, ESPECIALLY UP TOWARD TRUCKEE AND QUINCY. THOSE SLOWLY WORKING THEIR WAY TO THE EAST. BUT WE WILL SEE A FEW CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE SIERRA. THE REST OF US, THOUGH, LOOKING AT MAINLY CLEAR SKIES, SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON BOTH COMING IN AT 56 DEGREES. WE’RE STILL IN THE UPPER 40S IN PLACERVILLE AND TRUCKEE. YOU’RE COMING IN RIGHT NOW AT 39 DEGREES. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THESE WINDS ALREADY. YUBA CITY NORTH WINDS 15MPH. THESE ARE THE SUSTAINED SPEEDS, NOT THE GUSTS. WE’RE SEEING A NORTHWEST WIND IN THE MODESTO AREA, ALSO AT ABOUT 15MPH. THESE WINDS WILL BE PICKING UP EVEN MORE, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET INTO THOSE EVENING HOURS. NOW, IF YOU’RE HEADING TO THE FARMER’S MARKET IN MIDTOWN THIS MORNING, IT LOOKS GOOD FOR THAT. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. 67 DEGREES AT 10 A.M., 75 DEGREES BY NOON. WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AFTERNOON HIGHS, NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD, COMING UP IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KELLY. AND THAT IMPACT WEATHER SHOWS DRY WINDS RAISING THE RISK FOR FAST SPREADING FIRES ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK IN SACRAMENTO, STOCKTON AND RANCHO CORDOVA ALL UNDER A RED FLAG WARNING STARTING THIS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY. AND CREWS KNOCKED OUT A GRASS AND BRUSH FIRE ACROSS OUR AREA JUST YESTERDAY. THIS ONE HAPPENING IN SACRAMENTO ALONG PINE RIDGE ROAD. IT BLACKENED AN ACRE. ANOTHER FIRE ALONG THE RIVER IN WEST SACRAMENTO. CHARRED DRY GRASS AND PUT UP A WHOLE LOT OF SMOKE. IN NEVADA COUNTY, CREWS QUICKLY PUT OUT A FIVE ACRE FIRE NEAR SERENDIPITY LANE IN PINE GROVE RESERVOIR. FIRE RISKS POSING A BIG RISK THIS WEEKEND.
