A delayed wet season and offshore winds are set to increase risk of wildfires igniting on Saturday and Sunday.
California's wet season usually begins at the start of October, but low humidity and dry vegetation so far this fall have factored into ongoing fire safety concerns, including for the coming weekend."Any gusty winds coupled with the prevailing dry conditions can increase the fire threat across the region," AccuWeather meteorologist Max Gawryla stated.
A storm system could appear in the U.S. Northwest on Friday and will travel south into the Rocky Mountains. As high pressure builds with the storm's arrival, heavy gusts of wind will increase in Northern California on Saturday. The gusts are expected to reach between 20 and 40 mph in mountain regions and 35 to 55 mph in the canyons and mountain passes. Warmer conditions are expected throughout the weekend, due to offshore winds.
Northern California residents should plan to be on high alert Saturday, while Southern Californians are encouraged to prepare for increased fire risk on Saturday evening thought Sunday as the pressure system moves closer. While many of the California Wildfires have been contained, offshore winds this weekend will increase the risk of spreading new and existing fires in certain regions.Under such conditions, a small spark can quickly develop into a larger fire. The increased wind speed can cause both new and existing fires to spread at increased rates. In the San Diego area,"[t]he humidity on Sunday for inland areas will fall to around 10 percent.
