Extreme Wind Event Arrives Early Next Week With Even Greater Potential Fire Danger, More PSPS Likely
By Jay Barmann at SFist - San Francisco News, Restaurants, Events, & Sports"This is the fire weather forecast I was hoping wouldn't come to pass, given all that has already transpired in 2020," says climate scientist Daniel Swain on Twitter. "This will likely be strongest & most widespread offshore wind event of season, [and] is reminiscent of extreme events in 2019 & 2017. Hardest-hit areas appear to be west slopes of Sierra Nevada (gusts of 70+mph) & SF Bay Area (widespread gusts 40-50mph; higher in hills)."
