San Francisco, over thirty thousand of your neighbors woke up without power this morning. And it's going to be warm today.
Here's where the risk actually sits right now. A Red Flag Warning is in effect through eight PM tonight across the Sacramento Valley, the Delta, and interior Bay Area foothills.
Now here's the twist. While the hills are dealing with fire weather, the rest of the Bay Area is dealing with heat.
If you're in a shutoff zone, that warmup hits harder without air conditioning or the ability to charge devices. Get your phone charged now if your power's still on.
PG&E is waiting on an all-clear signal from their meteorologists before crews can safely restore power. The timeline depends entirely on sustained wind decline.
