The National Weather Service is warning that gusty winds could create conditions under which fires start easier and spread faster.
The announcements come as a fire prompted an evacuation warning in Butte County north of Sacramento on Wednesday.
Shortly before 4 p.m. the Butte County Sheriff’s Office warned residents in the area of Wyandotte Creek, east to Railbridge Road and Crestmont Avenue, Mackintosh Avenue, and south of Nora Way to evacuate. The agency also reported that the climate phenomenon known as La Niña was hanging on, possibly into a third year. High temperatures and a lingering La Niña would have major consequences for urban and agricultural water use across the West, as well as for California’s increasingly extreme fire season.
Some of the increased risk to Northern California may be tied to amount of rain in the region earlier this year; La Niñas typically bring colder, stormier conditions in the northern U.S. and warmer, drier conditions in the southern part.
