Strong warming trend across California into weekend & next wk, w/record highs possible (into 80s & even 90s in few spots). Still no rain next 7-9 days. Beyond that, mixed signals. Modest possibility of precip, but also of offshore wind events. Which will come first? #CAwx #CAfire

Similar to NorCal wind event on Sun, upcoming extreme #Santa Ana event will have potential to be historic. Per @NWSLosAngeles, "this event has all the ingredients for a rare & strong event, with one of the strongest offshore surface pressure gradients on record." #CAwx #CAfire

North Bay wind event continues to intensify while slowly shifting southward and to lower elevations. Slight delay, but now it's here. BTW--this verifies initial model projections that maximum gusts in most wind-prone areas could exceed 90mph! #CAwx #CAfire #KincadeFire

No state has done as much as California to reduce its output of greenhouse gases.

Yet the smoke produced by major fires is so potent that a single weeks-long blaze can undo a year’s worth of carbon-reduction efforts. https://t.co/7euiOoWL3A #CaliforniaFires #californiaWildfires

With strong winds and warmer temperatures projected for southern and northern California later this week, be prepared and stay alert for extreme fire conditions. https://t.co/u8KYraUUmi
