Afternoon SW-W winds from the Cascade-Sierra crest east and through the Bay Area and Delta will gust to 25 mph with a few spots up to 30 mph. In far northern areas NW-NE winds will gust to 25-30 mph over the higher terrain during afternoons and evenings through Saturday. Temperatures throughout the region will be near normal through Saturday. Inland relative humidity (RH) will continue to be 8-18% east of the crest and 12-25%. The marine layer has deepened to 2500-3000 feet and moved through the coastal range and into the Sacramento Valley overnight. Some inland mid and upper slope locations will still only see RH recovery to 35-45%, but in general overnight RH recovery has improved quite a bit. The trough will move off to the east on Sunday. SW-W winds near and east of the northern CA-NV state line will gust to 30-40 mph Sunday afternoon with RH continuing in the 8-18% range. A few light showers are possible in far NE CA and NW NV Sunday night and early Monday. The remainder of the region will be dry and cooler than normal with local NW-NE breezes Sunday and Monday. By Tuesday another low pressure trough will set up over the region and produce dry and mild conditions. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Several troughs over the Pacific Northwest will maintain a southwesterly flow aloft, resulting in temperate weather and a lack of convection through the period. Wednesday, a handful of storms developed near Desert Center, but no further thunderstorm activity is expected through the first half of next week. High temperatures will show little variation the next few days and will remain within a few degrees of seasonal averages. Highs will range from the 70s and lower 80s in the mountains to the mid 90s in the San Joaquin Valley. Minimum RH will drop into the teens for 6-8 hours each day above 3,000 feet. RH recovery should be good, except along the I-5 Corridor and across Southern Santa Barbara County where local north winds of 10-15 mph will be possible the next 3 nights. There will be afternoon sea breezes of 15-25 mph along the central coast and in the desert interface areas during the afternoon hours. A deeper trough passing to our north may result in gusty winds of 25-35 mph in and near the desert Sunday and Monday. Warmer weather may return during the second half of next week. -- 4 -- Red Flag Warnings/Watches & Air Quality Red Flag Warnings & Watches North America Smoke Plumes August 24, 2018 = Fire Weather Warning = Fire Weather Watch Source: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/land/hms.html Source: https://www.weather.gov/fire/ Current Watches, Warnings or Advisories for California Link https://alerts.weather.gov/cap/ca.php?x=1 Current Air Quality Air Quality Forecast (as of 8/24 1:00am) for Friday, August 24 Source: https://www.airnow.gov (Note: Map image for California is currently unavailable due to high traffic volumes) Legend: AQI = Air Quality Index; PM = Particulate Matter; O3 = Ozone Air Quality Index Basics Overview: https://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=aqibasics.aqi -- 5 -- Significant Fire Potential Maps Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Source: http://psgeodata.fs.fed.us/staticmap.html -- 6 -- Natchez Fire - Del Norte & Siskiyou Counties Sources reference number (#) corresponds to number in Information sources at the end of the section.

Smoke lift is expected during this burn period creating good ventilation, resulting in moderate to active fire behavior in the SW quarter of the fire area, where the fire is in a free burn state. Continue moderate spread of the main fire to the south towards Baldy Mountain where last year's fire perimeters are expected to provide a strong fuel brake. To the west fire expected to keep moving towards the Siskiyou Wilderness and a high elevation ridge range running from Lookout Mountain to Preston Peak. As fire moves towards the west and up several drainages, including Copper Creek, fuels become less continuous and more sparse. Fire is expected to check-up along the ridge line.

    No Copyright © 2019 by James W. Lee The California Fire Chronicles First Edition Please copy, repost, download, print, share and distribute far and wide at will. ISBN: 9781797668697 Author’s Social Media Sites: You Tube: Aplanetruth3 & (4) WellHealed2 Websites: Aplanetruth.info; Tabublog.com; Wellhealed.life; Avvi.info; Wellnessandwisdom.store; Face Book: JME LEE Author’s Books: Fall of 2019 Dedications This book is dedicated to all who have been displaced and disrupted by the California fires through no fault of their own. They deserve better than how they have been treated by their insurers, their local politicians, their state ‘representatives’, their local & state fire and police agencies, FEMA, and Red Cross. To courageous retired Fire Captains John Lord and Matt Dakin, who boldy went on social media to discuss the many anomalies, inconsistencies and impossibilities, that are occurring with the California fires when no other government or community service officials had the temerity to do. To date, they are STILL the only two experts to speak out, though many professionals are in agreement, in private conversation and do not want to risk their jobs and pensions. And to you, the readers of this books most difficult subjects to comprehend and disseminate. It takes courage, to look at very difficult conclusions to the possibilities that California’s fires were not random or happenstance. It takes will, to want to know the truth, wherever it may lead you. And it takes Love, to heal the wounds from the physical, mental and Spiritual battles we are all facing today. The first steps to any occulted truths are a willingness to want to know rather than beLIEve, trust and blindly accept the official narratives provided by those in Secret Societies with hidden agendas who care not about your safety, or your well-being.

  • Office of Governor Kate Brown
    23 Oregon’s economy continues to do well. Businesses are growing, unemployment is low, and wages are increasing. However, not all Oregonians are enjoying this prosperity equally. We need to be diligent champions of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work, in our communities, and in our regions. The foundation of the Regional Solutions program recognizes that Oregon is comprised of many different economies and tailors the state’s support to create thriving communities across the state. Regional Solutions staff live and work in the communities they serve, making sure state agencies work together efficiently and collaborate with local partners. The staff work with a grassroots approach powered by the ability to cross-cut agencies to assist businesses, local governments, and partners to get things done. They work on the nuts and bolts of economic development: streamlining permits, advising on land use, and building partnerships between the private, public, and philanthropic sectors. We see the results when businesses grow and things get built: transportation networks, water systems, broadband, homes, innovation centers, and more. That leads to not just more jobs, but better jobs across the state. This is how we support sustained growth rooted in our local communities and their plans to support economic vitality. With the impressive bench strength of the Regional Solutions staff, I give special assignments that move the needle for initiatives of state wide significance. In 2018, Regional Solutions took on workforce housing. Today, we are partnering in communities across the state on five housing pilots that will inform solutions that innovatively address this important issue.

  • Fountain Wind Project Draft
    3. Environmental Analysis 3.16 Wildfire 3.16 Wildfire The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has assigned a “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone” rating throughout Shasta County (Shasta County, 2016). Round Mountain, Montgomery Creek, and Burney all are listed as communities at risk by CAL FIRE’s Office of the State Fire Marshal (CAL FIRE, 2019a). This section identifies and evaluates issues related to wildfire in the context of the Project and alternatives. It includes information about the physical and regulatory setting and identifies the criteria used to evaluate the significance of potential impacts, the methods used in evaluating these impacts, and the results of the impact assessment. The Shasta County Fire Department provided initial input and recommendations related to fire prevention for the County’s environmental review process shortly after the CUP application was filed for the Project (Shasta County Fire Department, 2018). Later, in response to the issuance of notice of intention to prepare this Draft EIR, the County received scoping input noting that existing conditions are windy and the terrain is steep (up to 25 percent grade), and that there is a history of lightning strikes and fires, both natural and human-caused, in the area. Options for ingress and egress are limited. Furthermore, the existing forest, which was planted after the Fountain Fire, is mostly pine. Trees are approximately 20 to 30 feet tall and grow 3 to 4 feet apart, deer brush and manzanita grow in the understory, and years’ worth of pine needles cover the forest floor. Input as to potential impacts and mitigation measures also was received.
