@CALFIRELNUOct 14
🚩 CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER! 🚩 Dry vegetation and strong winds will increase wildfire danger across parts of California starting early Thursday morning. A Red Flag Warning is in effect: 🔹Portions of Lake County: 4 a.m. Thursday to 2 p.m. Thursday. In portions of Lake County, a Fire Weather Watch will take effect late Thursday night, after the Red Flag Warning expires, and remain in effect through Friday afternoon. Why does this matter? Dry vegetation can ignite easily, and strong winds can quickly spread flames into new areas, making wildfires harder to control and threatening nearby communities. Avoid any and ALL activities that could spark a wildfire. Keep your go-bag ready, know at least two evacuation routes, and be prepared to leave if an evacuation is ordered. 📲 Get wildfire information and alerts directly from first responders with the AwareCA app: aware.ca.gov 🔗 Visit ReadyForWildfire.org to learn how to prepare.

Why do we have a Coastal Flood Advisory out when the tide tables looks lower than normal? There is an extra foot of water in the Bay due in part to thermal expansion from warm El Niño waters in the Pacific. High tide flooding will become more frequent in the coming months.

Remember to always practice beach safety while enjoying your time along the coast. Know what to do if caught in a rip current and what to do as a bystander. Sneaker waves can catch beachgoers off guard and knock you down. Never turn your back on the ocean. #CAwx
Ocean waves are shown breaking offshore with text: Caught in a Rip Current? Here’s How to Survive. Relax, stay calm and float to conserve energy; Swim out of the current by following the shoreline or breaking waves, then at an angle toward the beach; Avoid swimming directly against the current; If you can’t reach shore, yell or wave for help.

Get help from a lifeguard. If there is no lifeguard, call 9-1-1. Advise the person to swim following the shoreline to escape the current. If possible, throw the person something that floats. Never enter the water without a floatation device. Many people have died trying to rescue someone caught in a rip current.

A weather map showing 'Daytime Min Observed Temperature - Raw' for California's San Francisco Bay Area and Central Coast on September 10, 2026. The map is overlaid with hundreds of temperature readings from specific weather stations, displayed as numbers (in degrees Fahrenheit) inside small colored bubbles. Interior regions, such as around Concord, Stockton, Modesto, and Fresno, are covered in yellow and light-green bubbles showing temperatures in the 60s, 70s, and some low 80s (e.g., 78, 80, 81). This visual indicates warm overnight conditions in these areas. Coastal areas, like near San Francisco and the Monterey Peninsula, show a mix of light-green and dark-green bubbles with temperatures mostly in the 60s and 50s (e.g., 59, 63). The Pacific Ocean is light blue, and a small key at the bottom center explains the temperature color coding, with a note that the map was created at 9:41 AM PDT.

In case you've noticed smoke & haze this morning in the sky, it is mainly coming from the Timber and Plaskett wildfire fires in the Big Sur area, moving northward into our area due to onshore winds. Much of this smoke is aloft, but some may reach the surface in some spots. #CAwx
