Several parts of the Bay Area are at risk of power outages and increased fire danger this week due to high offshore winds and higher-than-average temperatures, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service’s Bay Area office issued a wind advisory between 10 p.m. Sunday and 6 p.m. Tuesday in the North and East Bay as well as San Francisco, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties.
Wind speeds between 15 and 25 mph are expected, according to the weather service, with gusts as high as 70 mph at altitudes above 1,000 feet.
“Warm, dry weather will continue through Monday, along with gusty offshore winds in the hills of the San Francisco Bay Area,” the weather service said in a statement. “A strong, and much more widespread, offshore wind event is forecast from this evening through Tuesday morning.”
Temperatures across the region are expected to fall later in the week with slight chances of rain developing by Friday, according to the weather service.

Kite flying.
Just watched a single-engine “whatever” trying to fly southeast toward the mountain….. crabbing something fierce…. NO THANK YOU!!!
well, it is officially crab season after all. carry on.
Wow, and yikes! An awful day to be flying something small, I’d guess. Nope!!!
It’s better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than to be in the air wishing you were on the ground.
Cower-in-Place is going to be a permanent fixture under Gavin bin Lyin’. Good luck, suckers! I am leaving California. So long and thanks for all the fish!
It’s a wind advisory. Do you not hear the high winds? You are not losing any personal freedoms because of this wind advisory. You are being told that if you have any plans that are inadvisable when there are “Wind speeds between 15 and 25 mph… with gusts as high as 70 mph at altitudes above 1,000 feet.” you should make new plans.
If the response is “You can’t tell me what to do, I’m going hang gliding anyway” I really have to ask: why?
care to tell us where you are going? just asking for a friend 😉
and good luck
Leaving the state or the country?
Wind is high at ground level also. Twice now something has been blown against the living room window really hard.
No wind blows as hard or dangerous as that of ‘woke’, cancel society socialists out to destroy our liberty and way of life…
And those fires aren’t fires, they’re climate change.
The Bay Area Firefighters Union have announced they do not intend to return to fighting fires until all trees have been vaccinated.
2 lanes on Cowell Rd by Cowell park are blocked by a big tree that fell into the roadway.
