Elevated Fire Weather Threat

Contra Costa NWR off air

Elevated to near critical fire weather concerns are expected tomorrow in the Diablo and Santa Cruz ranges, due to an increased risk for quickly spreading grass and brush fires stemming from breezy westerly wind gusts of 30-55 mph, afternoon humidities of 15-45%, and poor night time recoveries in higher terrain. Secure tow chains, extinguish cigarette butts, watch and store water near open flames, and avoid using equipment that creates sparks.
