Strong winds will raise the danger of rapidly spreading wildfires in parts of California through Friday, during what is typically the peak time of concern for wildfires in the Golden State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The National Weather Service has posted red flag warnings for parts of Northern and Southern California Wednesday through Friday. These warnings include the hills around the San Francisco Bay Area, the northern Sierra and Siskiyou foothills and a large area of Southern California from Ventura County to San Diego County.<\/p>\n
The combination of a southward-plunging jet stream from the northern Rockies to the Desert Southwest and high pressure behind a cold front building into the Great Basin will help drive strong offshore winds in California during the latter half of this week.<\/p>\n
In Northern California, these winds, known locally as Diablo winds, are expected to be strongest Wednesday night\u00a0over the hills north of downtown San Francisco<\/a>, according to the National Weather Service. Some gusts up to 60 mph are possible.<\/p>\n In Southern California, Santa Ana winds are expected to ramp up\u00a0Thursday and persist into Friday<\/a>, with gusts below passes and canyons of 60 mph or higher.<\/p>\n The offshore winds will also bring heat and low relative humidities, near-ideal conditions for rapid spreading of existing and newly ignited wildfires.<\/p>\n It’s already been a hot week in parts of the state. The nation’s hottest temperature Monday was in\u00a0Anaheim (98)<\/a>, two degrees hotter than Death Valley, a typical U.S. hotspot.<\/p>\n These offshore winds should relax by Saturday, but some computer forecast models suggest another round of offshore winds may blow through the state early next week.<\/p>\n (MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>PG&E Executive Says Power Cutoffs Could Last Another 10 Years<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n Unlike most locations in the Lower 48 states, California has pronounced wet and dry seasons. The last weeks of the dry season happen in fall.<\/p>\n “California’s Mediterranean climate makes it unique, as our warmest months coincide with our driest,” said\u00a0Jan Null<\/a>, certified consulting meteorologist and adjunct professor in the Department\u00a0of Meteorology and Climate Science at San Jose State University.<\/p>\n Both Los Angeles and San Francisco typically pick up only 9% of their average annual precipitation in the six-month “dry season” from May through October.<\/p>\n This amounts to a six-month average rain total of only 1.3 inches in L.A. and 2.25 inches in San Francisco.<\/p>\n Read the full article here:-<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Re Blog ” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff”
