Predictions for the NorCal fire weather
Let's see how this plays out...
July Long-Term Weather Forecast
June 26 — July 2, 2008. The unpleasant smoky haze brought by the ingress on June 20 persists. Saturn continues to sextile the Sun, thereby obscuring its light.
July 2 — July 9, 2008. Pleasant weather, with some clouds and much-needed rain. Some isolated thunderstorms with intense winds. Look for increased clouds/rain or cooler temperatures around the 5th.
July 9 — July 18, 2008. More thunderstorms and wind, mostly on the dry side. The Moon will trigger some of this around the 12th of July.
July 18 — July 25, 2008. Possible rain, with cooler temperatures early in the week, especially near the 20th. Later in the week, isolated dry and windy thunderstorms. Some fires may result, but nowhere near the grand scale seen at the start of summer.
July 25 — August 1, 2008. More thunderstorms right around the 26th, continuing the conditions seen during the previous week; cloudy and unpleasant. The end of the week, around the 1st, will bring nicer weather.
