North Ops Weather-2019

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.
