Heading toward mid-late Dec, a return of broad Western U.S. ridging appears likely. Drier and warmer temps will return, and SoCal will remain susceptible to occasional fire weather episodes if/when offshore winds occur since it will remain quite dry. #CAwx #CAfire [2/3]

Quick CA weather update (I am currently in Washington, D.C. for #AGU24, so "virtual office hours" are on hiatus until next week!).

Rain has returned to NorCal, though SoCal remains dry w/Red Flag fire conditions persisting (even though winds have dropped). #CAwx #CAfire [1/3]

#FranklinFire Malibu area California.

The perimeter in the screenshot is from a mapping flight at 1:22 a.m. Wednesday and shows that 3,893 acres have burned.

The map has lots of GIS layers you can turn on/off/restack. Click “Map tips” upper left corner for help.

#Red flag warning continues until late this afternoon.
