Strong winds are expected to hit swaths of California on Thursday night, prompting warnings of fire and potential power shutoffs.
Fueled by 40-mph sundowner winds, the Alisal fire defied containment Tuesday. Strengthening winds promised even more challenges.
Humidity will hover at a parched 10% or below. Temperatures for the warmest areas — including the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys — could range from the mid-80s to mid-90s. A red flag warning for the western Sacramento Valley and Delta region will go into effect 10 a.m. Thursday and last through 8 p.m.Though the winds won’t be extreme, the historically dry terrain is “still quite susceptible” to ignition, said Eric Kurth, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Sacramento office. “Any fire starts, we could see rapid growth.”
