November 15, 2018 Four large fires are currently burning throughout the West. Three of these four fires are located in California. The Camp Fire remains the most active with 140,000 acres burned. A Type 2 Incident Management Team is mobilizing to Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands in support of Super Typhoon Yuta. Weather: Dry conditions will continue across California as high pressure remains over the state. Off shore flow will continue across Southern portions of the state; however, winds will be noticeably less windy than previous days. Pressure gradients across central portions of the state will be weak, so the flow over the Sierra is expected to also be weak. A breezy, dry northerly flow will continue across the northern fringes of the state. Looking elsewhere across the country, the low pressure area over the Mississippi River Valley will begin to move northeast. Moderate to heavy precipitation will begin moving north along the Atlantic Coast. Precipitation will be mostly in the form of rain, though it could become a messy, mixed bag over Pennsylvania as it begins to arrive mid-day. |
