Upgraded to RFW’s now
The Fire Weather Watch has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning for the North Bay Mountains, East Bay Hills, and Diablo Range from 9 PM Mon to 5 AM Weds. Gusty offshore winds and dry humidities in the teens will create critical fire weather conditions

This is a cool site for looking at large-scale winds.

That site is also good for particulate matter, and even the Auroras
Looks like the front will be bringing some good amounts of snow to higher elevations

There is some pre-positioning planned for Friday-Sunday around NOPS. Sounds like crews and engines- not sure if OES is doing anything but CAL FIRE is.
If models are correct could be a more impactful event next week that could be a strong NE wind event for much of the state… still a ways out.
Red Flag Warnings for North Bay Hills Saturday Night.
