URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Medford OR
1245 PM PDT Sun Aug 25 2019

.A disturbance will move up from the south Wednesday morning. This

currently tropical depression Ivo. The combination of increasing
moisture, instability and trigger could bring abundant lightning
on dry fuels starting late Wednesday morning into Wednesday
evening. There is a chance thunderstorms could produce little or no
rainfall. This will follow two days of hot temperatures with
triple digit readings for interior west side valleys Tuesday and
Wednesday.

2008 was also significant. Might go to one more fire before the career change.

Everyone I talk to, more science, met types who know nor cal say this one is for real. Just passing this along. I for one will believe it when/if I see it.

It’s moving up the coast…any talk of it hitting the coast range and bay?

Has not been in detailed forecast . Graphic gives basic geographic areas of concern…but…forecasts are just that!

They rarely get the next day forecast right ! Good luck with the extended forecasts!

NWS Monterey pretty confident nothing will affect SF Bay Area…https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=AFD&sid=MTR&version=0&banner=off

A quote from Daniel Swain who runs a California weather blog called Weather West.

“Im fairly concerned about the dry lightning potential tonight/tomorrow, especially far NorCal. Could see some isolated dry strikes/fire starts as far south as Bay Area, but much more widespread strikes (and fires) are likely north of I-80 and this is a region that is currently experiencing a major heatwave (Redding should hit 110 today).”

Time will tell but the potential is there. We shall see.
