California Statewide Fire Summary for Saturday, September 10, 2022

September 10, 2022 - As of this morning, there are 8,215 firefighters making progress on 12 major wildfires and three extended attack wildfires in California. Yesterday, firefighters also responded to 33 new initial attack wildfires across the state.

Since the beginning of the year, 316,031 acres have burned in California. While firefighters continue battling the current major wildfires, CAL FIRE and fire departments across the state remain prepared for potential more significant wildfires due to critical fire weather.

Northern California will continue to see high risk for heat wave conditions mixed in with some area North-Northeast-East breezes, mainly in the Sacramento Valley and portions of the west slopes of the Sierra. Westerly onshore breezes will affect the Greater Bay Area this afternoon. There is a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorms straying up from the Central Sierra impacting Lake Tahoe area today. Ridging influences remain during the weekend with an offshore low and some of former Hurricane Kay's moisture flowing northward over the region, including heavier cloud cover. Sunday there will be a high risk for lightning on top of very flammable fuels across the Northern Sierra. In Southern California, the remnants of Hurricane Kay will spin off the Northern Baja Coast while high pressure sits over the Great Basin through Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will move across the entire area through Monday evening. Most mountain locations will receive between a half inch and 2 inches of additional rainfall through Monday evening, while all other locations are expected to receive less than a half inch of additional rainfall. Temperatures will be near normal through Monday.

California historically experiences some of the most devastating wildfires in the months of September and October. Do not let your guard down! To learn more ways on how to prevent sparking a wildfire, visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
