😮Impressive temperature spread this morning over the Marin Headlands. ~40°F difference in roughly one mile and 1,000 feet. These large gradients are rather common during heat events thanks to cool air (Pacific) and a marine layer. #cawx

Sonoma County Point Fire Foreshadows a Busy Summer to Come, Climate Expert Says “This is a season where I do expect to see a transition back to that really active fire regime across much of California and the West,” @Weather_West @KQEDnews @KQEDscience kqed.org/science/199341…

Visible imagery shows quite a bit of smoke filtering into the region from the #SiteFire up in Colusa County. Otherwise, expect increasing high clouds as we go through today and this evening. #CAwx

Two primary wildfires of interest right now in CA are #PointFire (near Healdsburg) and #PostFire near Gorman. Both remain highly active & are burning in primarily brush/grass (& smaller-scale evac orders w/both). Will discuss tomorrow during YouTube office hours. #CAwx #CAfire

Cal Fire estimates #PointFire at 1,100 acres as of 6 a.m. with 20 percent containment. Air quality impacts from wildfire smoke seen through Sonoma County well to the southeast. fire.ca.gov/incidents/2024…
