5:03 pm
loss, and that is the expectation for monday night. that will do it from dodger stadium. back to you. now to concerns over fire danger this week, looking at the dry conditions in petaluma from cal fire's tower camera. our meteorologist joins us now with the weather event causing a lot of concern. >> the view in petaluma, it's also going to get windy there. this is a wind event that gives us concern for fire weather in the mountains and we will talk about that first but we won't leave out the fact that this will be kind of wind effect that makes it windy everywhere which is unique because a lot of times it's just the red flag warning in the mountains. so that starts tonight at 11:00 and goes through tuesday 5:00 testing near 60 miles per hour. northbay mountains, east bay hills and down into the santa cruz mountains. we will look at that in more detail in the complete forecast, but the wind advisory is everybody.

5:05 pm
that could be impacted are in the northbay and that's where our reporter spoke with several residents who say they are just getting used to it. >> reporter: most of the bay area will escape the brunt of these leaders power shutoffs but there are places like here in vacaville that are so used to power outages that they have learned to adapt to them. vacaville and solano county is accustomed to windy afternoons. cal fire spokesman says it's all because of the mountains that frame it on both sides. >> as the wind hits the mountains it can go around or up and over which then could cause erratic winds or higher wind speeds than the valleys. >> reporter: that's what will happen tonight on my belleplain. pg&e has alerted this neighborhood that the power will likely go off tonight. this afternoon, neighbors were enjoying a block party, but later they will be filling their tubs and sinks with water and checking the batteries in their flashlights. >> we've had so many fires in the last two or three years that it scares us to just and we have to adapt to that and if
5:06 pm
turning the power off is going to help prevent a fire, then we have to deal with that. >> reporter: getting power shut off alerts has become a regular thing for people living along the rural roads farther north. >> i got up earlier this morning probably around 10 am and we've just had more notices lately. >> reporter: bridget has placed windmills around her home to monitor those speed and direction and she worried about the outages having an extra refrigerator and freezer full of meat in the garage. she decided to use her head and adapt to the situation. >> grab one of your solar lights from outdoors and pop it into a container like a vase. >> reporter: she also bought a
5:07 pm
portable generator but that became a nightmare in itself. >> having to plug in all of the refrigerators and running courts through the house. >> reporter: she pulled the trigger and bought a whole house generator wired directly into her home's electrical system. it wasn't cheap, but now she and the neighbors who followed her lead don't have to panic about the power going off. >> is their satisfaction in knowing you can be resilient in a time like this? >> absolutely. it's just fantastic to be able to sit and be watching tv and you hear the power go out and you look around but you are okay and your food in the freezer will be okay. >> reporter: that's what being resilient is all about, not avoiding difficulty, but knowing when it happens, you will be okay. >> solano county will likely be the hardest hit in the bay area by tonight's public safety power shutoffs, but 4500 customers are expected to lose power. on the road to recovery now, a national volleyball tournament is serving up

5:17 pm
>> the pressure is really on but thank you very much for the shout out. i do have serious things to discuss even though they are watching. there is going to be an offshore wind event tonight and i don't want too many of us to get caught offguard. a lot quieter now than it was a few hours ago. here's how we are getting this wind event. the storm that will cause this would like to brought us rain but it's a classic situation where it had to go over that big lock right there and then it overshoots and comes down inside the state and over toward nevada and that's what we mean when we say and inside slider. what we get is the wind. we feel the wind as that passes
5:18 pm
and watch the colors brighten as we go into the overnight hours tonight and into tomorrow. that's your strong surge of northerly winds pouring down the valley with the streamlines driving into the bay area. we will look at it the spotlight not only the mountains, all the other communities will also light up. by the early predawn hours we've already started to feel gusts to the 30 mile-per-hour range in santa rosa so it gets windy in the predawn hours for the north bay valleys but as we get into the afternoon the winds start to pick up for the east bay valleys and that's when the winds will be felt more widespread for the majority of people right through the heart of the bay and through the afternoon tomorrow. 30 mile-per-hour gusts is enough to notice. you might get a broken tree branch. to go along with the public safety power shutoffs, this is different in terms of power outages because you can get local power outages at random if you get a twig or branch

5:21 pm
5:22 pm
maybe not a must win game five games in but it felt like
5:23 pm
one that san francisco needed desperately. the 49ers had the last unbeaten team and the highest scoring offense in the nfl. trey lance made his first career start and mom and dad made the trip to arizona. opening drive of the game, he gets the 49ers across midfield and it looks like he has plenty of running room. 15 yards easily and instead's he overthrows benjamin and his intercepted and the cardinals capitalize off the turnover. connor from one yard out, 7-0 arizona and the 49ers had a 93 yard drive bridging the first mac and second quarters and they go forward on 4th and goal from the 1 and lance looks like he hasn't the entire way until he doesn't. two defenders to stuff him. now 10-0, late in the 3rd, it's samuel on the sweep. he weaved his way through some traffic and in for a 13 yard touchdown run and the niners deficit is 10-7. 4th quarter, 4th and 1 for san francisco.

5:25 pm
little distracted today against the chicago bears. jon gruden spent the week addressing report that he sent a racist email back in 2011 when he was working for espn. that's a second-year tight end out of princeton, 7-3 bears. then fields to williams putting the spin on robertson, 14-3 bears and look at that spin. two-minute drill to end the 1st half. with the sack and raiders had the break with 126 yards, 6 1st downs and only 3 points. drilled on the head by smith and then the raiders would get to the goal line and josh jacobs barely gets it over the plane on the leap.
