Persistent dryness to elevate fire danger across Calif.
By Renee Duff, AccuWeather
A continued dry spell and strengthening winds will set the stage for an enhanced risk of wildfire ignition across California into the middle of October.
Little to no rain is expected across the state through at least the second week of October. Low humidity combined with the lack of rainfall into next week will continue to dry out vegetation and add fuel for ongoing or future blazes.
“As temperatures climb and an offshore wind picks up, especially (today) and Saturday, the fire danger will remain high,” AccuWeather meteorologist Ryan Adamson said.
