827 AM PDT Fri Sep 5 2025
NOTE: THIS PRODUCT HAS UPDATED FORECAST DATA BUT THE FORECAST DISCUSSION
IS FROM THE PREVIOUS FWF
Note: Check Fire Weather Discussion in the Area Forecast Discussion
for more info
Note: Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds
Note: CWR means precipitation totals will be more than 0.10 inches
Note: Winds in the extended forecast are average daytime winds
.DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity continues Friday for all fire weather
zones. More organized shower and thunderstorm activity will
initiate around mid day over fire weather zones 425, 426, and 427
before areal coverage increases over the area to include all zones
by early afternoon. The nature of storm activity will be a mix of
wet and dry storms as the atmosphere over the region continues to
be moist and unstable. Storm activity will last well into Friday
evening before diminishing overnight.
Saturday the focus of storm activity shifts slightly north for
all fire weather zones except 426. As the pattern changes and flow
over the region shifts activity will slow wane from southwest to
northeast through the afternoon. By Saturday evening activity
will be confined mainly to fire weather zones 425, 438, 469, and
470. On Sunday coverage of isolated dry thunderstorms is confined
to northern portions of fire zones 469 and 470.
