WILDFIRE CONDITIONS UPDATE AS OF 8/28/23 3:30 P.M.

LAKE COUNTY has a Fire Weather Watch (one step down from Red Flag Warning) for 8/30/23 - entire day from 1 am until 11 pm. https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=CAZ115&warncounty=CAC033&firewxzone=CAZ264&local_place1=Lakeport%20CA&product1=Fire+Weather+Watch&lat=39.0437&lon=-122.9152

NAPA and LAKE COUNTIES might be the recipients of PG&E PSPS SHUT OFFS on 8/30/23 due to declining humidity and increased winds. https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/outages/public-safety-power-shuttoff/psps-7day-forecast.page

There is no time like the present to get prepared for wildfires and/or PSPS shutdowns. As we all know, if a fire starts in Napa or Lake, it could end up in Mendocino, Sonoma or Solano Counties.

No word yet on fire weather watches or PSPS shutdowns for Sonoma or Mendocino Counties as of this post. I will post about it conditions change.
