Forecasters have issued an alert, predicting that strong winds will increase on Monday and Tuesday in regions of the North Bay that are prone to wildfires.
From 2 a.m. Monday until 10 a.m. Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the North Bay’s interior highlands, warning of north winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts of up to 45 mph. Parts of Sonoma, Napa Wine Country, and other regions affected by wildfires are under the advisory.
Up until noon on Monday, Lake County was under a separate wind advisory.
Power outages and downed tree limbs were possible outcomes of the gusts, which were predicted to blow around unprotected things.
The North Bay Interior Mountains are under a wind advisory through Tuesday AM. Anticipate 25–35 mph north to northeast winds with gusts of up to 55 mph (stronger at higher elevations).t25nfckwX0 #CAwx#BayAreaWXpic.twitter.com
The winds arrive during what is often the wettest time of the year, yet the area is still seeing abnormally dry weather. According to the Weather Service, there is a possibility that the conditions may continue for the next week and possibly until the end of the month.
By the middle of the week, it was predicted that the winds would subside and that there would be no likelihood of rain in the Bay Area.
Temperatures will drop from the mid-30s inland to the mid-40s close to the shore due to the clear skies and dry air mass. The majority of the time, maximum temperatures will be in the low to mid-60s.
