Overview
- A red flag warning remains in effect until 8 p.m. Monday, covering areas from Redding to Modesto, due to gusty winds and low humidity.
- Forecasted wind gusts include up to 35 mph along the Interstate 5 corridor and up to 55 mph in higher elevations like the North Bay mountains.
- Grass-dominated landscapes below 1,000 feet, particularly in the Sacramento Valley and inland Bay Area, are most vulnerable to rapid fire spread.
- An onshore marine flow is expected to return late Monday, increasing humidity and reducing winds to alleviate fire risks.
- While PG&E does not currently plan preemptive power shutoffs, residents are urged to avoid activities that could ignite fires, such as driving over dry grasses or leaving flames unattended.
