Fire danger spiking again: after a barely 24-36 hr dip in ERC values from spotty precip/cooler temps last weekend, levels have shifted quickly back to near max high values (extremely dry). Bay marine region 3A in Summer/Fall like values (1/2) #CAwx#FireWx
In retrospect the signs of an early fire season start have been there for awhile. Spring fuel moisture values tracking near or at record lows vs. what should’ve been seasonal highs. Extreme drought cause and effect. (2/2) #CAwx#FireWx@nbcbayareanbcbayarea.com/news/local/cli…
Ignore the fact it’s early May, conditions are Summer dry already esp. hills, parched by drought and above average temps. Add wind and you’ve got a Fire Weather Watch for interior NorCal starting Sunday. Important messaging by @NWSSacramento#CAwx#FireWx
