Similar wind profile today, stronger wind continues along/near the coast out of the NW (increasing midday-PM) short range models keep smoke generally in the same vicinity. Smoke levels contingent on wildfire, intensity and coverage later today #WoodsideFire 7/31/2026

Was nice while it lasted: Windy conditions allowing for long range spotting with the #WoodsideFire along the coast with very unhealthy air drifting southeast across Sonoma county. Air quality info via fire.airnow.gov#8.51/38.1982... 7/30/2026 #CAwx

One factor behind the potentially record-breaking ridge event across the SW US in early August? Upstream latent heat release and possibly residual anticyclonic "spin" from Hurricane Genevieve, whose dissipation will coincide with an extreme ridge-building event. #CAwx #AZwx

Map showing regions of predicted record-breaking 500mb GPH heights across North America and adjacent oceans. A broad region of record-breaking 500mb heights is indicated over and near California by this weekend, just northeast of a decaying hurricane.

Upcoming PSPS areas due to warm, dry and breezy conditions start around early pm tomorrow and may last until 10 am Thursday per PG&E includes a portion of Marin County. More regionally extensive outages planned near Soledad, King City could last until early Thursday PM. 7/14/2026

Lightning-sparked fire danger is an issue this time of year especially as fuel moistures continue to dry out. The pattern ahead could keep our chances on going for a while, along with the chance of some showers at times. 7/11/2026
