Highest peaks in the North Bay could see wind gusts as high as 65 mph.

Firefighters are watching the 101 corridor very closely for any new fires that could potentially start because of these winds carrying embers elsewhere.

By Wednesday midday the winds will drop dramatically leading to a calm afternoon and evening.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect until 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
