S California Fire Wx

14 Jan 2025 05:30 AM
In addition to convective outlooks, the Storm Prediction Center issues a fire weather outlook. The featured chart presents the daily maximum SPC fire weather outlook for the NWS Los Angeles forecast area since 2006. The chart shows the fire weather season mostly confined to the fall and early winter season, but events can happen about any time of year. The recent combination of down-slope wind and dry vegetation have materialized dangerous fire weather conditions. SPC has issued a couple of "Extreme" categorical outlook risks over the past week, which is something akin to the convective "High" risk that us Iowans have some experience with. Unfortunately, the fire weather risk looks to continue this week for the area with no precipitation forecast for the near term.
