3:11 pm
there. you may recognize that set up. that does produce a little offshore wind. that is the reason that we're seeing some of this warmth is because of that. and you start to see that northerly flow. sometimes a northeasterly flow of wind. and that is what's happening this afternoon. so you can see right now in napa about 18 miles per hour. but 25 in fairfield, some of that wind kind of starting to roll now in spots like san francisco and oakland to up to about 17 miles per hour. so wind advisory is in place until 08:00am tomorrow for a few spots. one of them interior mountains of the north base. you can see spots to the east of santa rosa there east of the 101 and then calistoga saint helene, a sonoma and then didn't getting down to a parts the estuary into solano and yolo counties there, too. so again, gusts possible up to about 45 miles per hour through 08:00am tomorrow. i'll be back a little bit. we'll talk more about those temperatures. back to you. >> all right. coming up, we'll tell you about the big water main break richmond. it's won the streets there and has left nearly 2 dozen homes without power and also staying in

3:15 pm
it also pushed their roadway. so they are cleaning up the mess. i just found out that 21 homes along carlson and 45th to 47th. they will not have water at least the next 10 to 12 hours. so that should put them well in 2 the evening hours. so the afternoon they cannot use water, of course, because it's not available to you. now. i can tell you this all started at around 5 o'clock this morning when for some unknown reason the pipe just burst and they have an excavator on scene right now. they want to obviously break the roadway. down there and then replace the pipe and then get the water back going. but when it was at its >> full steam, it sent thousands of gallons of water onto the roadway, which is why you see all of the mud right here on carlson. they're actually cleaning up the mud just so they can get closer to the roadway and then do their
3:16 pm
work. this is a long stretch. so i'm pretty much standing on 45th right now will swing the camera over here. one direction of carlson is going. this is being handled by east bay mud for several blocks because down at the other intersection, you can see them. they took it over as well. so one, they have to repair it and to obviously to find out the cause of all of this. but we do know that approximately 21 households don't have water. and if you do the math, who knows how many people are in each household, but it's safe to say maybe around 82 or maybe even more than 100 people woke up this morning trying to turn on the water. but instead of the water inside their home, it was outside their home in front of the street. you can see the excavator about to break ground. the city of richmond passed a resolution for the states to jump start a
