The National weather service has issued a Fire Weather Watch for our area.
The wind advisory is now in effect until 6 pm pst this evening.
Winds: Northwest to north wind 15 to 30 mph with gusts to around 40 mph.
Timing: Strongest winds will occur from late this morning through mid afternoon with the wind starting to decrease by this evening.
Strongest wind will be along western portions of the sacramento valley towards the coastal mountains and into the delta and will include Sacramento International Airport, Vacaville and Fairfield. (comment from Blythe: I heard on the TV news that that wind area does include the Sonora area.)
Precautionary/preparedness actions:
A wind advisory means that sustained wind of 25 to 39 mph are possible with gusts to 40 mph or greater. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Residents should secure outdoor items that may be affected by the wind.
Please do not discard any fire place ashes out side unprotected. TODAY IS A NO BURN DAY. Don't plan on burning till we see a significant amount of rain or snow.
Stay Safe
