Red Flag Warning and High Wind Watches issued across central U.S. as strong northwesterly winds develop
Strong northwesterly winds and very low humidity will bring critical fire weather conditions across eastern Colorado and western Kansas on Thursday, January 15, 2026, prompting the National Weather Service in Goodland to issue a Red Flag Warning and Fire Weather Watch. At the same time, high wind watches have been issued across the northern and central Great Plains, with gusts up to 120 km/h (75 mph) expected Thursday through Friday, January 16. #fireweather #COwx #KSwx

Thank you! I didn't watch that "pop up" but this later one, https://www.youtube.com/live/z8jxiYbIc0M
for which you gave a short summary on Bluesky as a " lengthy discussion on complexity of California's contemporary relationship with fire--especially the wide range of fire regimes across CA's varied ecosystems, the spectrum of "good" to "bad" fire, and the millennia-long role of Indigenous fire."
Educational on its own, and paired with the #OfficeHours in January establish a welcomed feeling of being informed about reasons, factors and processes in wildfires in such Mediterranean ecosystems.
January were the only other fire-related sessions I watched so far, beside your video from Sept 3.
Keep watching until at least 7:25 as they zoom out further for a bigger picture look at the whirlwinds. Spectacular!

#ClimateChange Is Making #Fire #Weather Worse for World’s #Forests
#ForestFires are on the rise globally. An increase in severe #fireweather is largely responsible.
“Climate change is loading the dice for extreme #fireseasons like we’ve seen,” said John Abatzoglou, a #climate #scientist at U of Cal Merced. “There are going to be more fires like this.”
Area of forest lost to fire 2023-2024 was at least 2x greater than in previous nearly two decades.

Google reckons it's 37°C, feels like 38, my solar system claims 39, Windy jumps between 31 & 40.
BOM app claims 41.4 & rising, feels like 40.4 *or* 30.8, feels like 25.7. I connect to 1 of 2 weather stations, current location to Bringelly on the plains (planes 🙄), but my town/postcode goes to the peak of the Blue Mountains. We don't really share weather...🤷
Anyhoo, it's hot, but I have AC, solar, & water for birds. Those hot winds tho 😱
According to SAWTi forecast, there will be a strong Santa Ana wind event Monday and Tuesday followed most likely by a moderate event Thursday and Friday
#LATimes owner Dr. #PatSoonShiong in this schmuck's own words
He also called #disinformation '...an excuse'
Hey Shiong, the root cause is #climate change
Btw, i added the #DemocracyNow video :

Sasha Alexander #Gershunov, ocean-atmosphere and #fireweather climate scientist at #Scripps speaks about the #SantaAna phenomenon and wildfires in SoCal.
https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/california-wildfire-analysis-scripps-oceanography-climate-experts
He mentions in passing that SoCal is experiencing an upward trend in fire-prone weather (dryness before the normal ultra-dry Santa Ana comes in)
with abundance of fuel load due to atmospheric rivers in the preceding year(s) – and adds, that this trend is not projected for the future.
Whether this means that the statistics are a fluke or that the model projections are missing something that the statistics are telling us, is not said.
In this context, they link to an #openaccess 2022 paper https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-022-06361-7
by #Guirguis and Sasha Gershunov et al "Winter wet–dry weather patterns driving atmospheric rivers and Santa Ana winds provide evidence for increasing wildfire hazard in California"
This one paints a broader picture with fireweather_fuel-load teleconnection to the Northwest coast of America, Some form of swing or seesaw pattern of pressure highs and lows.
When I hear teleconnection, I intuitively associate a climate connection.
The Scripps article with Sasha Gershunov brings further information. I only cherry-picked this one item. Have a read for more background on LA fires. 🙂
A few weeks before the L.A. fires, @lemonde published my review of Fire Weather from John Vaillant, L'Âge du feu in french #lafires #losangeles #megafires #fireweather #climatechange #johnvaillant
