San Francisco Chronicle / 10-22-20
The National Weather Service said Thursday that critical fire weather conditions return late Saturday night into Monday with the strongest winds peaking overnight Sunday.
Will Pi, a local meterologist with the National Weather Service, said the worst of it in the Bay Area will be at elevations of over 1,000 feet in the East and North Bay hills, where winds of 80 to 100 miles per hour are possible. In the valleys and along the coast, winds could reach between 30 to 50 miles per hour, he said.

We've had days like this over the past several years. It's unnerving as hell even if you're not in the foothills or mountains.
