let's begin with first alert chief meteorologist paul heggen. paul? >> so far we have been fortunate not to see any larger fires developing. there is a larger fire in kern county. this is not something confined to the bay area. the worst fire where the conditions are going to continue developing over the central valley. we're looking at our fire weather tracker. all the observation points reporting the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction. and whenever one of the circles turns red, it means that location is in red flag conditions. so a cluster of those around sacramento already. a couple santa rosa and northern sonoma county. all these yellow dots indicate places that are close to red flag conditions already. one county under a red flag warning, solano county. that continues until 8:00 friday. for we're going have to keep an eye on it in the bay area as well because we have a wind advisory in effect for interior portions of the north bay and n the higher elevation, and pretty much all of the east bay east of the oakland hills. sustained w

paul heggen is here with more. if they could just let it be a little bit slower. >> what the rain soaking for a little bit. we will take every drop. the showers are concentrated over the northbay and eastern contra costa county is developing over the diablo range. first, to sonoma county picking up on a cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. other scattered showers arouhb. downpour. we are looking at these areas of yellow that are capable of producing small hill. it is producing heavy downpours . this is from southern napa county into sonoma county. just the northeastern tip of the county as well. this is drifting from northwest to southeast. this will quiet down as the sun goes down this evening. close to a 50/50 chance around 6:00 this evening. those rain chances will shut down and then more chances later this week. >>> police released new details about an officer involved shooting at a downtown restaurant in march. that shooting injured a man who designed another man. kpix 5 san mackovic has the latest. >> reporter:

meteorologist paul heggen is tracking a red flag warning. >> for solano county and it will remain in effect till 8:00 tomorrow. this is the only advisory around the bay area. the greatest threat is the central valley once again. because solano gets their advisory from the sacramento office of the national weather service, they are lumped in with all the counties in that office. the fire conditions will be borderline. winds gusting up to 20 miles per hour. humidity levels not as low as they could be. not critical conditions, but still something we have to monitor. the good news is right now we don't have any of the monitoring stations around the bay area currently in red flag conditions. those are all through the central valley. the red circles on the map. good news, fantastic weather for this memorial day holiday. temperatures right about where they should be this time of year, but we are tracking a warm-up. we'll talk about that coming up in just a few minutes. >> paul, thanks. >>> one person is dead, another injured following a hang gliding accident in milpitas around noon at ed el

let's start with chief meteorologist paul heggen. >> we start with the red flag warning that only includes solano county. that's the only bay area county under a red flag warning because they get their advisories from the sacramento office of the national weather service. sacramento has been issuing these res flag warnings every time there's a breath of an offshore wind. really borderline conditions in terms of critical fire weather, but it is an elevated fire threat. the winds will gust around 25 miles an hour. humidity bottoming out at about 10% to 20% tomorrow afternoon. but the gustiest winds and the lowest humidity levels aren't going to overlap. that's good news. also good news, very few locations actually reporting red flag conditions on the fire weather tracker. most of them are around sacramento and then farther to the south in the central valley. we'll keep an eye on this as we head through rest of the evening. overall it's been fantastic weather throughout this memorial day. temperatures in the 60s around the bay right now with 70s farther inland. we have warmer temperatures in

let's check in with chief meteorologist paul heggen tracking some of those storms. >>> it is all possible because of the storm systems happening the past couple of days is pretty much right on top of us. as chilly as it is at ground level, the upper levels of the atmosphere are even colder. add to that the lift of provided by the storm system. any shower that gets going continues to rise and grow into an actual thunderstorm. let's take a look at what's happening on the doppler and the first alert doppler is showing a few showers out there right now. we're tracking the thunderstorms that are falling right now over sonoma county. right along the border between sonoma county and napa county. let's get a closer look. lightning strikes here. this storm has been growing in a westerly direction. part of the evolution of the storm systems where one shower develops into a thunderstorm. it collapses, but the cool air that it pushes out helps to prompt the development of another shower or thunderstorm on the flanks of the first storm. that is what we are seeing in northern seminoma county. it is als

paul heggen has been tracking the conditions for us right now. >> we have that red flag in effect until 8:00 tomorrow for solano county only. that is the only county that is under the red flag warning in the bay area. the majority of the central valley is under that red flag warning through 8:00 tomorrow evening. and the conditions are kind of borderline within solano county in terms of critical fire weather. we're going to fall a little short of that threshold. still it is an elevated fire threat with offshore winds gusting up to 25 miles an hour late tonight into early tomorrow. humidity levels will drop later in the day tomorrow to 10% to 20%. the gustiest winds and lowest humidities are going to occur at the same time. that helps. right now, a few spots reporting red flag conditions mostly around sacramento, down towards stockton and modesto. all these open circles on the fire weather tracker, that's good news for now. more good news, the weather was fantastic for memorial day, topping out anywhere from the upper 50s along the coast, near 80 degrees farther inland. a warm-up in stor

meteorologist paul heggen is here. we're going to get more of these days? >> you. it's just going to get a little bit warmer. high pressure in control of our weather, which is why we have warmed up. but the position of the atmosphere is important. where it is located means that the offshore winds to kick in a little while today but because it is a little further off the coast, the onshore wind took over along the afternoon. this was directly overhead. we would see those offshore winds being able to dominate throughout the day or just not even being much of a factor at all. mostly calm winds with that very high pressure if it was very directly overhead where that is going to be the trick in figuring out tomorrow's temperatures. when does that onshore wind return in 3:00 in the afternoon, which gives areas around the coast and -- time to warm up a little bit. right now, the wind is part of the problem. it is that onshore direction, but it does not strong enough to push that direction into the valleys. temperatures are still mild. blue skies up ahead right now. you ca

paul heggen, the heat certainly didn't help. >> no, and the firefighters had to battle the conditions with their equipment. when the temperatures are close to 100 degrees, it becomes a problem in terms of the conditions they're battling but also how much the fire fuels are drying out. it was hot inland. livermore got up to 102 degrees downtown, a new record for today. 98 in concord, ties a record. 97 in downtown santa rosa. 93, san jose. upper 70s in san francisco. mid-60s along the coast. still have a red flag warning in effect for solano county until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. this isn't as high a fire threat as last week but fire conditions are elevated compared to where they normally stand in late may. a heat advisory in solano county goes into effect tomorrow evening. this is where some of the hottest temperatures in the bay area will be with us on wednesday afternoon. then a big drop in temperatures across the whole region towards the end of the workweek. we'll take a look at that coming up in a few minutes. >>> we often hear about people taking steps to prepare their homes and busine

chief meteorologist paul heggen is here. paul, are we going to be getting some relief soon? >> we're getting relief as we speak across much of the bay area, but not all. mid to low 90s inland in the east bay. livermore got up to 100 degrees early this afternoon. so did fairfield. now those temperatures have dropped off by 4 to 7 degrees. the dramatic cooldown has happened for the north bay and inland in the santa clara valley, where temperatures were in the 90s. now they're down to the 70s and 80s. and around the bay, the temperature downtown san francisco is only 60 degrees thanks to that fog that has rolled in. and as that fog spreads inland, tomorrow it's going to be the fog in the morning with the stronger onshore wind and more cloud cover higher in the atmosphere that's going to drop temperatures back to where they should be this time of year. we'll take a look at how long this is going last in the full forecast. >> we'll see you then. >>> still ahead, with calls to conserve, more homeowners are looking to change their habits. how one east bay man made the switch to rec

chief meteorologist paul heggen. how much rain as possible? >> a depends where you are. if you're in san jose -- zero essentially. if you are in the north bay, three or four different chances of a couple showers. the big story today was the big cooldown compared to 24 hours ago. yesterday, those inland sections were 10 to 15 degrees above average. today, within two or three degrees of what is normal this time of year. san jose did climb into the mid- 70s. only up to 70 at santa rosa and 72 in concord. everybody's temperatures have dropped down into the 60s at least. petaluma. downtown san francisco also in the mid-50s. the cooler weather that has moved in is going to make itself right at home, but along with it we do have that chance for a few showers of the next several days. we will take a look at the pattern causing all of this coming up in just a few minutes. >>> looking live at chase center, the warriors have another playoff game coming up saturday against memphis. right now, there is a new statue honoring not a player, but someone very he in getting that build. the

let's check in with chief meteorologist paul heggen. i definitely felt the warmth this morning. >> temperatures returned to just near average today. slightly above average, but that tells how cool we were for the past several days. pretty close to normal. temperatures felt toasty, especially farther inland, where temperatures are mostly in the 70s, even a couple of spots above 80 degrees. most are talking about 60s around the bay with 5:00 at 50s gheoa. the temperatures are going to warm up even more tomorrow. no records in jeopardy. we're going to be 5 to 10 degrees above normal. temperatures well into the 80s. then we're going to go down the other side of the temperature roller coaster, beginning already on sunday. not a dramatic cooldown. we're not going to return to the temperatures that we had monday and tuesday. so don't worry about that. we'll take a look at all the ups and downs in the seven-day forecast, coming up in just a few minutes. >> all right. thank you. still ahead on kpix 5 and streaming on cbs news bay area, a strong

as we check with the first alert chief meteorologist paul heggen. right on cue. fire danger is already here. >> fortunately we got that little bit of rain in april. drought conditions -- we got an update yesterday. still not great, but better than they could be. we do have some rain chances in the forecast as we head through the week and into next week. going to be very light. not going to put a dent in these long-term drought conditions. most of the bay area classified as being in severe drought. extreme doubt is a worse category. that is the eastern solano county and far northeastern and registered with almost all of the central valley. one year ago, 100% of the bay area was in extreme drought. that was the second worst category. severe drought is the third worst. is bad enough when severe is the middle of the scale and it just gets worse from there. extreme and exceptional drought are worse. we are better off than we were 385 days ago, but still far from a good situation. statewide were going to look at the pictures here. just that little spot there in nevada

. >>> let's check in with chief meteorologist paul heggen. it was a windy one today. >> breezy, cool out there today. if you're ready for some warmer temperatures, just hang on till tomorrow with even warmer weather in store, even around the bay and along the coast. one thing that's not going to change, the dry weather today. we've been tracking that fog along the coast throughout the day. that's going to spread out by early tomorrow morning. the storm track is going to be staying to the north of the bay area for the next several days. we're going to be tracking a number of storm systems making their way towards the pacific northwest but all being pushed away from us by a building area of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. as that gets closer to us, it presses on us. inland temperatures are going to be warming up and the drier weather is going to continue. this is far from surprising that we have a completely dry forecast through the weekend now that we're into the middle of may. we're not going to completely close the door

let's go to chief meteorologist paul heggen for the conditions. >> we're hoping we see as few of these red circles on the map as possible. those indicate the observation points that are already in red flag conditions. a couple near santa rosa. another in far southern sonoma county right now. more of those are going to show up on the map throughout the central valley. this is where the lowest humidity levels and the strongest winds are going to overlap. and it also is where the fire fuels are even dryer than where they are in the bay area. this all seems a little early in the season for this, keep in mind we've had mostly dry winters since january 1. the fire fuels are at about normal dryness thanks to rainfall around the bay area, but significantly above the dryness levels, what's typical throughout the central valley. and it's not a situation likely to improve. just got a new three-month outlook from the climate prediction center for june, july and august. and a significant chance of above average temperatures not just in california, but most of the western u.s. we've already seen sig

paul heggen is here and getting ready for that warm-up. >> yeah, temperatures are going to warm up. not to record levels as we head into the weekend. we're not talking about a heatwave. but noticeably warmer after it's been cool throughout the duration of this workweek so far. breezy still this evening. the winds are going to calm down after sunset. mostly clear skies tonight. we're not going to have a whole lot of fog out there to begin the day on friday. much warmer tomorrow with the warmest day arriving on saturday when inland temperatures are going to reach the mid, even upper 80s, and temperatures go down the other side of the roller coaster. but just back to normal temperatures next week. we're not going to return to this week's substantially below average temperatures. one thing that's consistent in the forecast, there is no rain in the forecast for the next several days. the parade of storm systems is going to continue rolling in off the pacific, but they're going to be aimed to our north. passing showers for far northern california. the bulk of the rain is going to be aimed

first alert meteorologist paul heggen is tracking this system for us. >> all evening i have been retuning pictures of

. >> first alert meteorologist paul heggen here with more on that rosy outlook. >> temperatures finally warmed up today, a little bit. but to about what's normal for this time of year. tells you how chilly it was for the last several days. normal temperatures felt kind of toasty. slightly above average. made it to 81 in concord in santa rosa. 77 degrees in san jose. anywhere from 4 to 7 degrees above average. but that's not that far a departure from the normal high temperatures. tomorrow we're going warm up even more. a good 5 to 10 degrees above average. it puts us close to 70 in san francisco. at least briefly before the onshore wind kicks back in. temperatures a good dozen degrees above normal inland. san jose got to 77 today. should get to 85 degrees tomorrow. and close to 90 degrees in concord. the very hottest spots could touch 90 degrees for the high temperatures saturday afternoon. that's not record-setting. we have to be well into the 90s to even threaten record territory in the middle of may. we'll fill in the rest of the map and show you what to expect for your saturday comin

let's get right to first alert meteorologist paul heggen with more on this red flag warning that we're dealing with. >> the first red flag warning of not even quite technically into fire season yet. but that's something that doesn't really exist anymore because it's a year-round season. this is red flag warning for solano county. the watch has been upgraded to a red flag warning. the greatest fire threat, the lowest humidity, the strongest wind gusts are going to shape up tomorrow, tomorrow night and friday. that's going to be through the central valley. but the bay area is not going to miss out on this entirely. the northeasterly winds gusting up to potentially 25 to 30 miles an hour. humidity levels are going to be very low with those northerly winds bringing in very dry air. so the fire threat going up even though the temperatures are going to go down little bit. it was hot inland today. 94 in concord. 95 at is an rose. the temperatures 15 to 20 degrees above average. it was a dozen degrees above normal in san jose. but it's not just the temperature that determines the fire threat.

let's check in with first alert meteorologist paul heggen here. we're getting ready for that warm-up. >> yeah, just in time for the weekend too. it's nice when things work out like that. today's weather was fine, just a little bit on the cool side, and certainly on the breezy side. but it's may in the bay area. this is kind of what we expect. we're going go up on the temperaturol and the drop on the other side isn't going to be too bad. so just minor ups and downs. high pressure building in the upper-levels of the atmosphere. just a hill of air over overhead. first of all, it's going to keep the forecast dry, pushing the storm track to our north. it also means warmer temperatures in store, even along the coast and around the bay. more of a modest warm-up there, but that's what we're looking at as we head through the end of the workweek, and with that area of high pressure pretty much directly overhead, the warmest temperatures are going to occur for the first half of the weekend. the parade of storm systems to the north is going to continue. just
