October 19, 2018 One new large fire was reported. An Incident Management Team and a National Incident Management Organization Team are supporting relief efforts after Hurricane Michael. Cooler temperatures and rain in the West helped firefighters contain 18 large fires this week. Weather: Santa Ana winds will begin to redevelop over Southern California as another low pressure area develops over northern portions of the Baja Peninsula. To the north, the high pressure ridge along the West Coast will move on shore and into the Pacific Northwest. This will set up a blocking pattern that will persist for several days and lead to warm and dry conditions along and West of the Continental Divide. A cold front moving east from the Great Plains will lead to scattered showers and storms across the Great Lakes and also across western portions of the South. Florida should remain mostly dry however. |
