The best chance for a shower on Wednesday will be between 7 a.m. - 11 a.m. and the biggest impact would be slick roads. There is no number on the ABC7 Storm Impact Scale for this front because it is so weak and fast moving.

Sunshine breaks out to finish Wednesday and gusty offshore winds will develop Thursday afternoon.

The entire Bay Area is now under a Red Flag Warning from 11 p.m. Thursday to 5 p.m. Saturday.

The highest threat for fire danger will be between 11p.m. Thursday - 7 a.m. Friday and again 11 p.m. Friday - 7 a.m. Saturday.

Peak winds are expected early Friday morning and again early Saturday morning with gusts as high as 65 mph on ridge tops.

High winds combined with dry air and warm temperatures, means there is high fire danger.

Winds will relax Saturday afternoon.
