Fire danger ramps up as Santa Ana winds return to the West

The storm train along the West Coast has come to a temporary end, but windiness is returning.

Transcript

00:00We have some action in the West here,

00:02but it's not the former precipitation

00:03as much as fire danger on the

00:05South side of this high.

00:06Yeah, drier into the Northwest,

00:08which is a welcome sight because we've

00:10been on this storm train ride and it

00:12wasn't letting us off all last week,

00:14though now we have a little bit of a break,

00:17though the storms do return

00:19again by the late week.

00:20Santa Ana winds,

00:21though further South,

00:22as Jeff was mentioning,

00:23we do have some of those impacts here.

00:25Yeah, this is going to be a concern.

00:28The strong winds are going to be

00:30mainly in the canyons and passes.

00:31Most of us will see gusts of 20 to 40

00:34mph which is not as strong as we've

00:36seen elsewhere, but you can see Bree.

00:38You got some colder air building

00:39into the Bay Area then on the

00:41backside of this. Yeah, we have

00:43some freeze warnings in effect.

00:44Not good for the great power,

00:46even just for great country Napa.

00:47Even down the Hollister.

00:48We are concerned about that.

00:50Even further West or East.

00:51We do have some problems on the

00:53board when it comes to winter weather.

00:55Even a snow squall warning east of Cheyenne.

00:57East of Cheyenne.
