| episode_narrative | A series of offshore wind events plagued much of California towards the end of October. Cut off lows (also known as insider sliders) moved into the Great Basin as an upper ridge sat over the eastern Pacific. Strong surface high pressure also building over the Great Basin and a trough along the California coast provided the set up for strong and dry offshore winds over the greater Bay Area. Two more such events would go on to occur before the end of the month providing what would be historic critical fire weather conditions for the region. The first event brought strong N to NE winds to the region, particularly the North Bay, where gusts of 50 to 70 mph were observed. Healdsburg Hills North Station had a peak gust of 76 mph the night of the 23rd. These conditions fed the rapid growth of the Kincade Fire that broke out late in the evening on the 23rd, and at the end of the month was still burning. Additionally, near record breaking high temperatures were observed in parts of the area on the 24th and 25th. Prior to the event PG&E shut off power to roughly 1 million people across the state of California. |
