Wednesday, October 14, 2026: Critical Fire Danger is in store later this week, for Thursday and Friday, across the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Range due to gusty northeast to easterly winds. This will be combined with minimum relative humidity below 25 percent. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Range from 3 AM on Thursday (OCT 15) through 10 PM on Friday (OCT 16).
The atmosphere is taking a chill pill🥶! After this latest string of above normal temperatures (grody), the Central Valley will see some totally rad temperatures in the normal to slightly below normal category. This is thanks to a shortwave trough and a low pressure system coming in. On Sunday into Monday, the shortwave will come in. That low pressure system quickly replaces it, as models show the low pressure system beginning it's descent into California on Monday afternoon. With it, there are rain chances expected for the Valley this time. Cool beans! 😎
