California Statewide Fire Summary
September 16, 2022
As of this morning, there are 7,882 firefighters making progress on 10 major wildfires and three extended attack wildfires in California. Yesterday, firefighters also responded to 19 new initial attack wildfires across the state and achieved full containment on one major fire.
Since the beginning of the year, 357,278 acres have burned in California. While firefighters continue battling the current major wildfires, CAL FIRE and fire departments across the state remain prepared for potential more significant wildfires.
In Northern California, isolated showers and thunderstorms across north-central and northeast areas today will be mostly dry. Significant wetting precipitation event starting Saturday night across western areas then spreading eastward from Sunday thru Wednesday with daily rounds of scattered to numerous showers and some embedded thunderstorms with snow possible across the highest peaks. Gusty W-SW-S winds across much of the region Saturday into Saturday night with peak gusts 25-35 mph, locally 40-50 mph and even +70 mph across the High Sierra. Southern California will see high temperatures today and Saturday will remain about 5 to 8 degrees below normal with readings generally in the lower to mid-80s in the valleys, upper 60s and low 70s at the coast, and low to mid 90s in the deserts. No precipitation is expected today or Saturday. Another round of sundowner winds with gusts of 40 to 45 mph is possible across the south coast of central and western Santa Barbara County this evening and tonight. Accompanying relative humidity values will remain very high.
Evacuation plans for families with young children as well as seniors and people with disabilities need unique consideration when preparing for a disaster or to quickly respond in case of fire. Prepare ahead of time by practicing your family’s fire escape plan, and what to do to be safe when there is a wildfire nearby.
