WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS. THAT BREAKING NEWS IS IN COLUSA COUNTY. THE WIND DRIVEN RIDGE FIRE IS BURNING ALONG WALKER RIDGE ROAD NEAR HIGHWAYAY 20. THAT'S NEAR THE LAKE COUNTY BORDER. THE FIRE IS TRAVELING UP WALKER RIDGE, HEADED INTO COLUSA COUNTY TONIGHT. OFFICIALS SAY IT'S BURNED MORE THAN 2000 ACRES. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT 11:00. I'M BRITTANY HOPE. CAL FIRE SAYS THEIR PRIORITY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT IS TO GET THIS CONTAINED. THEY WANT TO HOLD THE FIRE WEST OF BEAR VALLEY ROAD, SOUTH OF BRIN ROAD, AND AT HIGHWAY 20 ON THE SOUTH SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT'S ALL EAST OF THE INDIAN VALLEY RESERVOIR. THAT AREA IN RED IS REALLY THE FOCUS RIGHT NOW. THE FIRE IS 10% CONTAINED. EVACUATION ORDERS ARE IN PLACE FOR WILBLBUR HOT SPRINGS. HIGHWAY 20 IS FULLY CLOSED EAST OF CLEARLAKE OAKS AT ROUTE 53, ALL THE WAY EAST TO BEAR VALLEY ROAD. BRIM ROAD IS ALSO SHUT DOWN. FIRE OFFICIALS SAY 50 STRUCTURES ARE THREATENED TONIGHT, 30 IN LAKE COUNTY AND 20 IN COLUSA COUNTY. THE RIDGE FIRE HAS PUT UP A LOT OF SMOKE. TIME LAPSE VIDEO IS GIVING US SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE LEFT. SMOKE COULD BE SEEN TONIGHT IN WILLIAMS. A LOT OF IT. YOU CAN BARELY EVEN SEE THAT HILL RIDGE THROUGH OUR CAMERA BECAUSE ALL THE SMOKE. THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE ON THE RIGHT IS FROM WALKER RIDGE SHOWING US THAT SMOKE PLUME AS IT GREW INTO THE EVENING. LET'S CHECK IN NOW WITH METEOROLOGIST DIRK VERDOORN DIRK. I KNOW EARLIER TONIGHT WE SAW SOME WIND GUSTS UP TO 28MPH. IS THERE STILL WIND TONIGHT? THERE? THERE REALLY IS. YEAH. WE STILL HAVE WIND GUSTS THAT ARE BEING REPORTED IN THAT AREA OVER 30MPH. AND SO WE STILL HAVE THE WIND. SO THE FIRE MORE THAN LIKELY IS GOING TO GROW. BUT WE HAVE SOME GOOD SIGNS THAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU. SO THIS IS WHAT THE SMOKE PLUMES STARTED TO BE NOTICED WITH THE SATELLITE IMAGE HERE WAS AT ABOUT 5:00. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT PLUME GREW AND ALL THAT SMOKE GOT PUSHED MORE TO THE NORTH. YOU CAN SEE IT SPREAD OUT THROUGH COLUSA COUNTY AS WELL. SO YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATATION THERE BETWEEN THE BORDER OF COLUSA COUNTY AND ON INTO LAKE COUNTY. WHAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE IN INTENSITY. THIS IS A SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING YOU THE HEAT SIGNATURE OF THE FIRE. AND SO THIS IS THE INFRARED IMAGERY. AND YOU CAN SEE AT 6:40 P.M. IT WAS BURNING VERY BRIGHT. SO WE HAD A VERY HIGH HEAT SIGNATURE. AND THEN AT 930 THIS EVENING YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT. IT'S JUST RIGHT THERE. NOT AS MUCH. AND THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. BUT TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS, AS WE GET INTO THE EVENING HOURS, THE TEMPERATURES DROP AND THE HUMIDITIES GO UP. AND SO THAT HELPS TO BED DOWN THE FIRE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO HOPEFULLY IT WON'T GROW TOO MUCH. BUT HERE'S A LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. THIS IS ACTUALLY A RADAR SHOT AT 5:30 P.M. WHEN THAT PLUME WAS GOING STRONG. AND YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE WAS ACTUALLY PICKED UP ON THE RADAR. BUT CURRENTLY WE'RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S. SOUTHWEST WINDS 18 GUSTING UP TO 32MPH. AND HUMIDITY IS CLIMBING CURRENTLY AT ABOUT 3,043%. SO CONDITIONS ARE LOOKING A LITTLE BIT BETTER. BUT STILL, THIS IS A FIRE THAT'S BEEN GROWING AND MORE THAN LIKELY IT'S GOING TO GROW THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. NOW BACK OVER TO YOU. ALL RIGHT DIRK THANK YOU. OF COURSE WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS FIRE ON AIR AND ONLINE OVERNIGHT FOR AROUND THE CLOCK UPDATES ON
