The National Weather Service said in its daily forecast discussion on Friday that Northern California will be in a dry "inside slider" pattern, where a low-pressure system drops south from the Pacific Northwest and slides over land, keeping Northern California dry and windy.
The highest fire threat was along and west of the Interstate Highway 5 corridor in the Sacramento Valley, and the strongest winds are expected Saturday night through Sunday, according to the NWS. Residents in fire-prone areas were urged to avoid any activities that could spark a wildfire.
Cal Fire's Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit told CBS News Sacramento that it was the first red flag warning of the year. Last year's first such warning was on May 18. The unit added that, under its jurisdiction, the only fire to start under a red flag warning in the month of May to exceed 10 acres in the past five years was in 2021, when the Lopes Fire in Solano County burned nearly 54 acres.
In addition, a gale warning was in effect until 9 p.m. Sunday for the entire coast because of rough seas. Boaters were urged to alter plans to avoid the dangerous conditions, which will see northwest winds at 20 to 30 knots with gusts up to 40 knots, and seas 8 to 10 feet. In the San Francisco Bay Area and Monterey Bay Area, and the Delta the weather service issued a small craft advisory from 3 p.m. Friday afternoon to 3 a.m. on Sunday, with winds 10 to 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots expected.
By Tuesday, forecasters said the weather is expected to stabilize with the return of an onshore flow.
