North Bay residents are being asked to be mindful of potential wildfire starts for the next couple of days.
Though Sonoma County will not be under a Fire Weather Watch, the nearby Sacramento region, including Solano County, will be under one on Thursday and Friday. Still, Sonoma County weather conditions will not be ideal according to National Weather Service meteorologist Sean Miller.
“Primarily through a combination of stronger winds and low relative humidity on Thursday into Friday, those types of conditions can be more favorable for fire starts,” said Miller. “Folks will want to do things like disposing of matches and cigarettes and making sure to do things that don’t put any sparks out there, making sure camp fires are put out, that type of thing.”
The strongest wind gusts are expected to be 25 to 35 miles per hour from Thursday evening into Friday morning. As for temperatures, expect mid to low 80’s for each day in Santa Rosa.
