ur eye doctor about tyrvaya. from abc seven live. >> breaking news now at six, we are following breaking news. firefighters are battling a now 12,000 acre brush fire burning near tracy. you're looking at new video just in this morning, and you can see the winds are creating a greater challenge for firefighters this morning. some

residents are being told to evacuate and road closures are in place. good morning. it's june 2nd. a battalion chief with cal fire is standing by to answer questions about the latest containment efforts. but first, lisa is tracking the current wind conditions in that area. good morning. >> hi, stephanie. good morning to you. we have some better news. here are some loonin and around livermore and tracy where the winds have come down a little b. whad some gusts up se one gust there, 33 miles anan hour, temperatures anywhere from the lo 50s to the low 60s. the winds out of the southwest. so they're kind of whipping about there. but we are stillooki at our cool down today. higher relative humidity. but as those onshore winds continue to push in throughout the day, today we will see those breezy winds. so the green offshore indicates the higher relative humidity, which is the good news. so the prevailing upper level winds are out of the northwest bringing in that higher relative humidity. but at the surface you'll notice the winds will continue to be breezy anywhere from about 18 to

22 miles an hour today. so we have a couple of good things working in our favor today and tomorrow. some extra cloud cover, some cooler conditions, some higher relative humidity, but the sea breeze will be with us today and tomorrow. but then we get into a heat advisory tuesday where temperatures will increase by as much as 20 degrees in this area. so the best we can do is with the winds. the temperatures throughout the next couple of days will continue to be pretty breezy and create challenges for sure. for the firefighters. >> stephanie, thank you >> new video this morning shows firefighters trying to knock down the so-called corral fire. it's now 13% contained and it has burned nearly 12,000 acres southwest of tracy at the alameda and san joaquin county line. overnight, smoke and flames burned dangerously close to the 580 freeway, forcing all lanes in both directions to close between the junction to interstate 205 and interstate five. it all started around 230

saturday afternoon. we know two firefighters were injured fighting this fire. a spokesperson for the alameda county fire department says they suffered minor to moderate burn injuries, and both are currently receiving care athe hospital. here's a map giving you an ide of where exactly the fire is burning the perimeter of the fire is mostly in san joaquin county, near the lawrence livermore national laboratory. now we want to bring in cal fire battalion chief josh silveira, who is standing by along the fire line. chief, thank you for being with us again this morning. >> good morning. >> so i want to recap for those of you just joining us, 580 is still closed in both directions at this hour. chief, where exactly did the fire jump the highway? >> the fire jumped the highway at corral hollow road at uh- 280 or excuse me, 580. and it uh. it jumped again at crismon road and

580, both of those areas where it jumped the highway uh- have been contained and the majority of the fire is still on the south side of 580. so speaking of what direction is the fire moving right now, currently, the fire's kind of backing in the wind. it's moving in a west direction, back towards lawrence livermore labs. >> so just to clarify, it's still at 13% containment this morning. correct >> a containment has gone up. okay. current acreage is sitting at 12,500 acres, 15% contained, and we currently have 400 personnel assigned to the incident. >> 400. all right, so based on your strategy for the day between today and tomorrow, we know we have some of the best weather we're expected of the week. cooler temperatures, high humidity. i mean, do you see some significant progress being made today or do you think we're a long way out?

>> i see significant progress being made. our ages have gone up, which is in our favor, i'm currently watching, 3 to 4 bulldozers put in direct line and, it's changing conditions a tremendously having those higher humidities, our flame lengths have, diminished significantly. >> so we've been tracking the evacuations. can you walk us through the neighborhoods that are most at risk right now >> the neighborhoods most at risk currently, there's a neighborhood, it's still under development, but it's over here on corral hollow, but currently, the fire is moving away from the, the populated areas and back into the foothills towards, livermore labs for the best update on evacuations, go to sj. ready .org. the san joaquin

county, office of emergency services and san joaquin county sheriff have done an amazing job keeping that updated, to keep folks informed on what's to come. and, and what's to be expected as far as, evacuation routes go. >> and do you have a status update on lawrence livermore labs? >> to the best of our knowledge, the lab is still running business as normal, it's not currently affecting any of their operation. it's just burning, on the footprint of the property. >> yeah, i was seeing that and tracking it on the map as you were giving us this update. i just wasn't sure if. as it gets closer, we'll be checking in with you, i also wanted to ask you about the evacuations anticipated. you did talk about that website. people can go to sj ready? org, do you anticipate more evacuations as it heading

closer to that area? >> it's going to be very dynamic as as fire, continues to move the evacuation waings and orders will obviously fluctuate with the direction of fire movement, we're hoping to keep fire moving away from the populated areas and into the more rural foothills, back towards the lab. >> so to get more specific, what areas, what specific neighborhoods where the fire is currently heading, are on watch right now. >> i believe that the neighborhood, tracy heights, the north side of 580 on corral hollow, i believe that is the only neighborhood currently, currently under evacuate, orders . >> now, you mentioned water drops scheduled today. lisa says

wind speeds could reach around 20mph throughout the day. will aircraft be impacted at all? >> no, we will have, a full fleet of aircraft available to us, the wind threshold is going to be advantageous for them to be up in the air. 20 mile an hour winds is a pretty gusty, but with the new technology, with our, cal fire hawk, our water dropping helicopter, the 20 mile an hour winds is something that it's, it's more than capable of handling. we'll also have fixed wing aircraft, dropping retardant and reloading out of various, air attack bases in the area. >> and i know it's early, but any insight on how this could have started? >> we have investigators that are making their way out to the incident now, once they get some eyes on it, we'll we'll be able to start to piece together some cause and origin. but for right now, it's too early to really

pinpoint anything. >> and the two firefighters injured any update on their condition this morning? >> last we heard, from their agency representative was that they were in in stable condition, both expected to make, full recoveries. >> the neighborhoods that the fire has already been moving through. what do you anticipate in terms of the extent of damage ? >> we have, damage inspection crews on their way to the incident. now to. we can really start to look in and get a number account, we've seen various videos on social media of structures burning. we just haven't been able to pinpoint where those structures were or if they were even part of this incident, but we do have crews, coming out to start that inspection process. >> all right. and, chief, you talked earlier about the brush and the specific area, how dense it is. we know here in the bay area we're always on fire watch. but given it's early in the

season, do you anticipate this is a bad sign for what's to come, given you know, all the moisture we've had? >> i don't necessarily think it's a bad sign. it's just, a good reminder to be vigilant. if this is your opportunity to really focus on that defensible space around your homes, take that preparedness very seriously, especially if you're in, what we call the wildland urban interface. have a go bag ready, in the event that you do get a evacuation order or warning, that that's not the time to be packing up and getting ready to go have that that go bag ready with your important documents, your pets ready to go so that if you do get that phone call, it's a very quick process to get out the door and out to safety chief. >> yeah. important message. stay safe. this morning. and thank you for your time. >> thank you. have a good morning. >> absolutely. you too. well, cal fire is telling people near the fire to evacuate immediately. as you just heard,

if you are west of the california aqueduct, south of corral hollow creek, or west to alameda county and south to santa clara county, you are being told to leave now if you need a place to stay. the county is setting up evacuation centers and larch clover community center that's in tracy, right on larch road. so if you have large animals, there is also a center being set up at the manteca school district on luis avenue. p-g-and-e's is working to restore power for residents who live in this area. it says two major outages happened around seven last night, affecting thousands of people. here's a look at p-g-and-e's updated outage map. right now we are seeing some progress right now, about 130 people are waking up without electricity. in those areas. you can see in yellow and green, and that's certainly a big difference from last night when power was knocked out for nearly 4000 people. the utility company says its equipment was damaged in the fire. and those repairs continue today. all

right, let's check on conditions outside. good morning lisa. >> good morning stephanie. this is what we like to see when there's a situation such as today with the fire, the low clouds and fog. although with it we have the breezy onshore winds. so that's not the best recipe, but at least the temperatures will barely hit 80 degrees today in our inland valleys for today. and tomorrow. extra cloud cover, certainly for your monday, but then things really turn around. we're talking triple digit heat coming our way for many communities around the bay area. we'll have the full accuweather seven day forecast in a few minutes. >> all right lisa, thank you. also ahead, supermarket settlement y save mart will now pay over $1 million over alleged safety and health violations. then pride in the north bay. sonoma county holding its largest parad

welcome back to this live look from our pier 39 camera. you're looking at all those sleepy sea lions this sunday morning. it's 614. well, the sat is still a big part of the college application process for many students in oakland. over a thousand students were sent home without being able to take the test because the wi-fi wasn't working at the test site. and as abc seven news reporter anser hassan tells us, there was no backup system in place. >> isabel davis was one of the few thousand students who showed up at the oakland marriott saturday morning, signed up to take the sat test. it was really shocking and disappointing, especially because i've been preparing for this for weeks. >> we study so much for it. we pay a lot for tutors and we get there and then we can't take the

test at issue. >> the wi-fi wasn't working. that's according to the college board, which administers the sat . in a statement to abc seven news, it says that 1400 students were not able to take the test because of the wi-fi problem. >> i mean, you think that if they've been running this organization for like a hundred years, they'd have had a big backup plans. >> davis says that students sat in limbo for three hours until they were told to go home while some colleges no longer require the sat. davis is applying to schools that do. early applications are due in november , and davis says there are no remaining bay area test dates to meet that deadline. >> it's shocking really. i mean, it's there's no accountability and that's very clear. >> as a parent, brian davis is frustrated that his daughter may now be at a disadvantage. and he says there needs to be more accountability for when problems arise. >> it's a monopoly. it's not like you can take the test from somebody else. you know, you're stuck. >> in its statement, the college board says student demand has

exceeded capacity and that there's a shortage of test centers. the college board says that it did add capacity for 6000 extra seats for the may and june test dates. >> if you look at the college board testing sites and dates now, it's all full. >> parent eunice charles says that she was told her son will get his money back, but her concern is how and when he can retest. not a refund. >> i just want to know, are they going to offer another date? you know, is it going to be easy for us to get a date? can you open up more space for us, the people, the students who missed it? >> today, families say the college board told them they'll get an email outlining the next steps in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> the university of california system is once again asking the state to intervene in a strike set to grow next week. the union for student workers is planning to expand the walkouts to three new campuses this week, all in southern california. they're demanding the universities drop

discipline cases over pro-palestinian protests. the uc system is appealing to a state board claiming the walkout by thousands of student workers is illegal. the state rejected the uk's first request. then the union president told us in a statement, quote, management clearly knows that our work is necessary for the functioning of the university. if they want that work to resume, they should seriously engage with the mediation process and stop wasting time and public resources on legal maneuvers. new this morning, save mart supermarkets has agreed to pay $1.6 million to settle allegations that they sold certain products past their use by dates. save mart is the biggest regional grocer in the state, and multiple district attorneys brought this claim forward. they said that save mart was selling expired over the counter. drugs baby formula and baby food. save mart has not denied or admitted liability. they were ordered, though, by a yolo county court to pay those

penalties. here at abc seven, we are focused on building a better bay area, and that means looking at both problems and solutions. that brings us to san jose mayor matt mehan and his state of the city address. the mayor focused on crime, police department staffing, traffic safety and small businesses, but he says their biggest issue is the homelessness crisis. mehan says the city is investing in safe sleeping sites. more than 600 new quick build units and a new safe parking site for people who live in cars. >> over the next year, we will move over 1000 additional people out of unsafe conditions who would otherwise continue to live on our streets and along our creeks. >> mehan also praised the volunteers who are working on the city's beautification initiatives, like this mural painting project in san pedro square. he says in the last year , san jose has seen a 300% rise in volunteerism. well, we continue to follow that breaking

news near tracy, where a fire has burned more than 12,500 acres as of this morning. and lisa is tracking the latest on those wind speeds. we know we are looking at a slight dip. >> we are. we went from explosive growth yesterday. the winds were over 40 miles an hour, down to about 38 and maybe about 25 right now. and the smoke is generally east of the bay area because the prevailing winds are onshore, and that is pushing the winds and the smoke out towards tracy. the sacramento valley. and we'll continue to see the cooler weather regime as this system to the north of us brings rain to the pacific northwest and cools off our temperatures, builds our marine layer and continues with the breezy winds right on through tomorrow. but then as high pressure builds in, it's all about the rapidly increasing temperatures and high pressure building back throughout the entire bay area, bringing us a heat advisory for tuesday. so there's a look at the rain from

seattle and portland. we've got the prevailing northwesterly winds in the upper levels. the south winds at the surface. and there's a look from our weather roof camera around pier 39, where you can see some of those tattered flags. they sort of need to be switched out, right? 52 in san francisco, 54 in oakland, it's 56 in hayward. good morning, san jose 59 for you. and here's a look at okay, the camera there at the airport. and notice that we do have a bit of a marine layer 52 napa 55 in livermore. so today and tomorrow looking at mild to warm temperatures, that 60s upper 70s, maybe a few low 80s out towards brentwood and antioch. and then by tuesday and wednesday, sizzling summer-like heat and excessive heat. watch for the sacramento valley, the delta. but then we have our heat advisory for our hills of the north bay, the east bay, the interior valleys and the sonoma coastal range. and then by the end of next week, we're looking at cooler conditions. so this is about a 2 to 3 day event. and here are the onshore winds that continue to blow the breezy conditions anywhere from about

15 to 25 miles an hour. all across the bay once again today. so that's going to allow for the smoke to drift to the east, but also a challenge. not that big of a challenge, but still enough that we've got things moving around a bit. but the relative humidity is quite high and we're going to see some extra cloud cover. here's a look at our cloud cover today. throughout the day you'll notice some higher clouds. the low clouds are banked up along the shoreline. this is for your sunday. so overall we're getting some sun a few clouds around. but as we get into monday, thicker cloud cover, the rain gets closer to extreme northern sonoma county and as a result we could see maybe a couple of hundredths of an inch around the bay as we get through monday. so all good news increasing the relative humidity before it drops off again with our heat advisory. this is for 8:00 on tuesday through midnight on thursday for the highlighted areas north and east of the bay. upper elevations. interior valleys 73. in fremont today, 87

in santa rosa. it has been warmer in the north bay, and you'll notice the cooler conditions from san jose upper 70s, low 70s in palo alto and the accuweather seven day forecast. we'll continue the cooldown extra cloud cover monday. rapid warm up record heat possible tuesday, wednesday still warm inland thursday and then cooling off a relief from the heat throughout the latter part of the workweek. we'll be righ

community, support supporting the queer community. >> i love to dress up and show my, and my support as an ally because, this is just the best day. i have so much fun at pride. >> some marched advocating for the rights of trans youth, which are under attack across the country. >> i think it's really sad that people are attacking people who are just trying to live their lives and be themselves. >> years ago, this pride parade started very small, with a few dozen participants. today it stretches more than a mile with a record 105 parade entries. i've been here all along, so i've seen the growth and it's great. it's all about inclusion and that's important. and our community understands that. they appreciate it and they support it. >> pride overall, for me, means that we can be out and proud in a safe place and be with our loved ones. >> organizers say it's great being among the first in the bay area, kicking off pride month celebrations. >> we love it. we call it the book ending. you come here, you

factor. anywhere from 20 to 23 miles an hour. with those onshore breezes, though, will continue to see the temperatures capped at about 80 degrees, the smoke drifting into tracy and another day with more cloud cover, more cool temperatures. before we get into a heat advisory for this area, with temperatures soaring, another 20 to 25 degrees by tuesday afternoon. stephanie all right. >> lisa, thank you. well, this morning, the so-called corral fire is now 15% contained. it has burned more than 12,500 acres southwest of tracy at the alameda and san joaquin county line. overnight smoke and flames burned dangerously close to the 580 freeway, forcing all lanes in both directions to be closed between the junction to interstate 205 and interstate five. it all started around 230 saturday afternoon. the fire quickly grew by thousands of acres overnight, and we're hearing from some of the residents who were forced to evacuate.

>> you could do, except just keep watching it and see what happens. >> and just thought that it's better to get out first and just wait outside. yeah that's it. >> two firefighters were injured fighting the fire. a spokesperson for the alameda county fire department says they suffered minor to moderate burn injuries, and both are receiving care at the hospital. cal fire is advising those near the fire to evacuate immediately in the following areas. if you are west of the california aqueduct, south of corral hollow creek, west to alameda county, and south to stanislaus county, you should leave now. and for those who need a place to stay, the county is also setting up evacuation centers, one of which is the larch clover community center in tracy on larch road. and if you have large animals, there is a center being set up at the manteca school district right on luis avenue. now, this morning we spoke to cal fire battalion chief josh silveira,

york. >> coming up on this week, former president donald trump's attorney will speak on the future of trump's legal strategy. it comes after his conviction in the new york hush money case. you can watch that interview with george stephanopoulos at eight this morning right here on abc seven. still ahead this morning, a bond measure to pay for school improvements is now on the table . but it's raising questions as to the spending practices. we'll be digging into that. and here's a live look outside from our mount tam camera looking down on san franci

to improve school facilities, but it is the costliest bond ever to be voted on in the city. we're talking about $790 million. this as the school district is in the midst of a financial crisis. abc seven

building a better bay area reporter lyanne melendez has new information that raises some serious questions about how the school district has already spent the money. >> bonds to renovate school facilities are, and always will be a never ending cost. >> when i used to campaign for these bonds, people used to always say to us, when is enough? when are you going to stop asking for money? and i would always say never. when are you going to stop fixing your house? >> the longest serving school board commissioner, now retired, recalls the track record of some of these bonds. it hasn't always been stellar. in the 1990s, under then superintendent bill rojas, there was a history of improper spending practices with bond money. here's what the incoming superintend pendant at the time, arlene ackerman, told the chronicle in may 2000 basically, there were no control systems in place. documents had been destroyed or were missing. decisions were made that were clearly outside of what voters had approved. since then, the

bond expenditure process has been more transparent until 2016, when voters passed a million bond. in that bond. school modernization projects and kitchen upgrades were promised, and for the most part, successfully delivered. but some of those promises failed. supervisor shamann walton, who represents the bayview district, was a school board commissioner at that time. >> there was talk about a new school in the southeast sector of san francisco, because we have all the development and all the new housing coming. so there are things that were in that bond that we don't see coming up as a priority anymore. in 2016, voters also liked that the ruth asawa school of the arts would be finally relocated to the heart of the performing arts district. >> $100 million was set aside while the district attempted a now unsuccessful fundraising campaign. bond money was even used for the architectural drawings of the new school. the

district was supposed to start a campaign to raise money? >> yes. >> did they drop the ball? was the effort not there in your opinion? >> they, did not have the either the administration or the development people or the fundraising capacity to do that. >> phil halperin is the co-chair of the proposed bond measure. how are people going to trust you this time around? >> i think the school district acted very fiduciary and fiscally intelligently by not investing so much money in one particular school. >> instead, the money for the ruth asawa school was used to fund other projects, including the construction of a new school in mission bay that wasn't even included in the initial 2016 bond. susan stotter is a school district's former artistic director. >> i don't know as a voter how i feel about voting over and over

again for something and being told it just disappeared. it just went away. it becomes a trust issue. >> abc seven news also discovered that there was little oversight of how the 2016 bond money was being spent, because of the pandemic, it was nearly impossible to recruit people who would serve on the citizens bond oversight committee, known as sybok and required by law. it wasn't until the summer of 2021 that a new committee was finally formed. >> for several years, this bond program not only did not have a sybok as required by law, it was not producing annual audited annual reports, which is the absolute bare minimum, not merely required by law, but that any reasonable person should expect would be provided for the public. >> last year, that committee found that the school district used 2016 bond money to defend

against a lawsuit. after the school board voted in 2019 to cover up murals at george washington high school. what is known is that sfusd faces a financial crisis not seen in years, the state has warned the district that schools may have to close or be consolidated. this leaves voters with the obvious question you're in a crisis. >> you can't afford things. why are you asking us to do this? and they need a good for answer that. >> the good news is, is that the school bond program operates alongside the rest of the school district's finances, as it is managed separately, both from an operational perspective and financial perspective. >> leon melendez, abc seven news. >> all right, let's get you outside now. how's it looking, lisa? >> well, we have a mixture of clouds and sun. >> and from emeryville, 54 degrees, you can see a little bit of the marine layer in the distance, but it's going to be another cool and breezy afternoon as temperatures

continue to be around average today. extra cloud cover tomorrow. and then we're going to talk about the hottest weather we've seen do you question the tradeoffs of treating? ubrelvy is another option. it works fast to eliminate migraine pain.

>> a's and braves a wild game in atlanta that included body slamming mascots. i mean, he laid the hammer right there. i think it's a home depot mascot. top 463 oakland. brant rooker hammers that 1/12 of the year. it's eight three a's. and oh they're looking good in atlanta. but it all unravels in the fifth. remember this guy former a matt olson. oh he got all of that one two run shot ties the game at eight. the braves score six to take the lead in just two pitches into the top of the sixth. a's manager mark kotsay tossed for arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire. frustration there boiling over. and that just fires up oakland. rooker now deep to right going, going, going. it's not a home run. instead a two run triple. the a's up again and they hang on 11 nine rubber match later today. hockey tailgate time in florida saw it right here on abc seven. game six of the eastern conference final. panthers hosting the rangers florida one win away from the stanley cup final. late first period off the rangers turnover. florida on the

afternoon. but you'll need the jacket there where the winds will be gusting to over 20 miles an hour. so this system bringing rain, and it's going to drop down as far south as extreme northern california and northern sonoma county through monday. so there is a chance for some drizzle. not only at the coast, but to make it over into parts of the bay into your monday. so that continues our cooling trend. you can see a live look outside here from mount tam, where the marine layer is just in pieces, kind of fractured out there. 52, san francisco, 54. in oakland, it's 56 in hayward. and we're looking at a solid deck of stratus here from the peninsula. this is, of course, the airport 53 santa rosa, 56 by the delta and a little breezy out there. not as windy as yesterday. and from vollmer peak it is bright so mild to warm today. yesterday widespread 60s and 70s about the same today. those 80s will be far reaching into brentwood and antioch tuesday and wednesday we get into a heat advisory for the

hills of the north and east bay. sonoma coastal range numbers will be flirting with 100 degrees. then we cool off for parts of the bay on thursday, everyone else friday into the weekend that sea breeze is back. not quite as windy as yesterday. we had a really big temperature spread from the sacramento valley to the coast, and that's why those winds were so, so gusty going from high pressure to low pressure, trying to fill in that void. but as for today, it's a typical sea breeze. anywhere from 15 to 20 miles an hour. so here is the cloud cover . just patchy. we'll call it partly cloudy throughout the day today, your sunday. and then as we get into overnight we get a solid deck of low clouds and fog. more cloud cover into monday. there's a piece of that system. so yes, there is a possibility that we could see some of that in the form of a sprinkle anywhere from a hundredth or so around the bay. and that's your monday. but as we get into tuesday, we have got the excessive heat risk to the east of us and a heat advisory for the highlighted areas here.

upper elevations, interior valleys and through sonoma. here we could be talking 103, 104 and some of these areas. tuesday and wednesday. and here's a look at the rest of the bay area. on tuesday. we'll see widespread mid and upper 80s bay shore, san francisco comfortable in the 70s. and then as we get towards wednesday, not a whole lot of change. we could see some of these temperatures come up at the coast into the 70s. and then as we go through your thursday, that's when high pressure begins to loosen its grip. so air quality will decline as well as for today, mid 60s to low 70s with breezy winds from san francisco to oakland, upper 70s in livermore. we've got some more warmth through santa rosa and the accuweather seven day forecast. we're going to feature the cooler weather for another day and then rapid warming with some records possible through wednesday. still warm inland on thursday. stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. up next, thousands of dollars could go to a well-known donkey in palo alto. yeah, you heard that right. but it's not coming without controversy. th

a $10,000 gift from the city of palo alto. but now the city is getting pushback for ponying up the cash. the donkey, named perry, lives in a park in palo alto's barron park area, and he's cared for by volunteers. perry's claim to fame the city says animators used images of him to create donkey from the shrek films. perry is now growing older, though in palo alto's mayor wants to help the volunteers with his medical bills. this month, at a city council meeting, other city leaders shared reservations about handing out so much money when the city is in a deficit. >> the city is losing money. we have a deficit this year. we have a deficit next year. we have deficits for next for four years or so. and, so it just seems irresponsible in my opinion. >> it's a great opportunity for well-being in the community as

well, to be able to interact with these wonderful animal animals. >> the mayor, the mayor says the money is coming from a discretion tree fund that's about to expire and does not roll over. so we'll see what happens to perry. a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. you can download the app now and start streaming. we want to give you one last check on this breaking news. we've been following all morning. a brush fire burning southwest of tracy at the alameda and san joaquin county lines. right now, the fire is 15% contained and has burned more than 12,500 acres. evacuation orders have been issued for residents in the area, and an evacuation center is set up at the large clover community center in tracy. we know two firefighters were injured fighting this fire and they are currently being hospitalized, expected to be okay. as for concerns about the wind speeds, what should we

expect? >> anywhere from 15 to 30 miles an hour today so they'll continue to be on the breezy si temperatures have dropped offnto the 50s around livermor low 60s. tracy, look at the relative humidity. anywhere from nearly 70% to 96. so those onshore winds continue to fan the flames and push the smoke over towards tracy. and the moisture is offshore. so we have as good as it's going to get in terms of relative humidity in our favor, but those winds will not let up. it's going to be with us once again, the breezy winds throughout the day today and then we'll be looking at more cloud cover into your monday and cooler temperatures. the accuweather seven day forecast. we're going to do an about face with a heat advisory tuesday wednesday near 100 in that area for a couple of days. all right lisa, thank you. >> and thank you all for joining us on abc seven mornings. have a great day.
