SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The weather in the Bay Area is about to go from cool and breezy to hot and breezy for Mother's Day weekend, according to ABC7 News Meteorologist Mike Nicco.
Gusts could reach 40 to 60 miles per hour in the areas under the warning and any fires that develop could spread rather rapidly.
Nicco says people need to be prepared by getting the defensible space around their house shored up, clean of any debris that could turn into fire.
"We have a warm forecast on the way and unfortunately it also brings a heightened fire danger," said Nicco.

Nicco says people need to be prepared by getting the defensible space around their house shored up, clean of any debris that could turn into fire.
