California Statewide Fire Summary  Sunday, July 16, 2017

7/9/2017

0 Comments

 







 
Approximately 6,300 firefighters are battling 10 large wildfires in California. In the northern region, conditions will become hotter and drier throughout all the Northern Operational Region except along the immediate coast. The marine layer is now only about 1000 feet deep in response to the strong high pressure. An increase in northwest to northeast surface winds tonight through midday today that will cause poor overnight humidity recovery in the Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills. Expect drier southwest flow this afternoon as an offshore low pressure trough approaches the coast causing potential southwest winds gusting to 30-40 mph and very low humidity east of the Cascade-Sierra Crest on Monday and Tuesday. In the southern region, southeast flow aloft will bring isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms to the Sierra and to the mountains and deserts of Southern California east of I-15 through Monday. Strong high pressure over the southwestern States will bring above normal temperatures to the area this weekend, with mid-80s to mid-90s across the mountains and mid-90s to 108 in the valleys. Minimum relative humidity will be in the teens away from the coastal areas this weekend and then increase across Southern California Monday through the end of next week. North winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph will surface across much of Santa Barbara County and the Grapevine Sunday night. There will also be westerly winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph across the desert passes each afternoon and evening through the end of next week.
 
Does your family have a wildfire action plan? Before wildfire strikes, it is important that you get Set. Prepare yourself and your home for the possibility of having to evacuate. Create an evacuation plan that includes: A designated emergency meeting location outside the fire or hazard area with several different escape routes from your home and community. Also, don’t forget to make a plan for your pets. Lastly, designate an out-of-area friend or relative as a point of contact to act as a single source of communication among family members in case of separation.
