California Statewide Fire Summary for Tuesday, September 13, 2022

September 13, 2022 - As of this morning, there are 8,367 firefighters making progress on 11 major wildfires and three extended attack wildfires in California. Yesterday, firefighters also responded to 30 new initial attack wildfires across the state and achieved full containment on one major fire.

Since the beginning of the year, 335,682 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.

Northern California will see high risk for abundant lightning in eastern areas this afternoon and evening combined with critically dry fuels and breezy west to southwest winds which will strengthen on Tuesday. Upper level troughing will gradually deepen through the week bringing near to slightly below normal temperatures as well as moderating relative humidity and breezier west to southwest winds. Southern California will see numerous scattered showers and wet thunderstorms again today, some of which will produce heavy rain. However, moisture from “Kay” will begin to retreat today. Temperatures will trend downward the next few days with locally breezy weather returning to the deserts. Temperatures today will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s in the valleys and up to 105 in the low deserts.

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.
