AccuWeather Forecast: Wind Advisory along coast; Red Flag Warning for inland, hills

Takeaway of the Day
This has been a sunny and windy day, with afternoon gusts ranging from 20 to 40 miles per hour. We also have elevated fire danger because of the gusty winds and dangerously low humidity.

As a result, a RED FLAG WARNING for high fire danger is in effect until 8 p.m. Monday for Solano County plus the Carquinez Strait and Delta.

Despite the strong gusts, however, temperatures have been in a rather mild range today: lower 60s at the coast, near 70 around the bay, and lower 80s inland. We can expect mainly clear skies this evening along with gusty winds overnight.

WIND ADVISORY 11 a.m. to 5a.m. Sunday along the coast. Northwest winds 15 to 30 mph with gusts 45 to 55 mph.

BEACH HAZARD STATEMENT through Monday morning. Strong northerly winds will generate very rough conditions at area beaches along with strong rip currents along west facing beaches.

COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY 10 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Tuesday. Flooding possible in lots, parks and roads.

RED FLAG WARNING for Solano County, Vallejo and Fairfield with fire danger elevated across the Bay Area inland this weekend as well.

North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph in the western Sacramento Valley.

Daytime minimum humidities 7 to 15%.

Strongest winds expected Saturday night through Sunday in our North and East Bay Hills.

A Look Ahead
Tomorrow will be another breezy-to-windy day, but still rather mild, with high temperatures in the lower 60s at the coast, mid-to-upper 70s around the bay, and lower 80s inland.

Our gusty wind pattern will continue through the weekend, producing rough surf conditions, resulting in a BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT for the entire coastline.

Wave heights will be elevated and there is the danger of rip currents developing. Obviously, these are dangerous conditions for swimming, surfing and boating. We can expect calmer and warmer weather beginning early next week.
