| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Dry gusty offshore winds as well as strengthening high pressure enabled the generation and rapid spread of the Glass Fire across Napa and Sonoma counties at the end of September. The mountains of the North Bay saw wind gusts of 40 to 65 mph into the morning of the 28th with 30 to 40 mph gusts across the East Bay Hills. These gusty winds along with dry conditions enabled the Glass Fire to spread almost fourfold in one day. Tens of thousands of residents were evacuated and nearly 80 homes were destroyed along with numerous additional structures including a famous Napa winery. Offshore flow and strong high pressure also broke several daily temperature records across the SF Bay Area. High temperatures were in the mid/upper 90s to low 100s inland and mid 80s to low 90s along the coast. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Smoke from the Glass Fire blanketed the North Bay throughout the week with ash fall also reported near the fire. This all prompted a spare the air alert by the Bay Area Air Quality District https://www.baaqmd.gov/news-and-events/page-resources/2020-news/092820-sta. |
