Extremely critical fire conditions are moving into Northern California this morning, driven by dry winds and low relative humidity.
Unfortunately, dry winds from the north are beginning to pick up, with gusts over 80 mph being reported in Sonoma County, with winds in Chico and Sacramento now gusting near or above 30 mph.
Winds could gust up to 60 mph in parts of Northern California on Sunday and relative humidity could be as low as 8%. This is extremely critical fire weather and any fire, new or existing, could grow erratically. There will be extremely critical fire weather Monday for some of the highest elevations in the Los Angeles metropolitan areas with wind gusts of up to 50 mph and relative humidity as low as 5% is possible.
The remnants of Olga have fully phased with a cold front and the moisture is now associated with a classic mid-latitude cyclone.
