| 0:08.5 | Here's John Batchelor. |
| 0:11.6 | The Los Angeles fires. |
| 0:13.7 | Jeff Bliss is Pacific Watch. |
| 0:15.7 | We begin with the wind, the variable right now that is predicted and it's not good news. Jeff, a very good evening to you. |
| 0:23.5 | I've been reading different reports for the last 24 hours. The projection is through Wednesday. |
