Winds in California are gradually calming down on Tuesday after sweeping through northern and central parts of the state on Monday and Monday night. The strong winds led to a significant increase in the size of multiple wildfires, such as the Sites Fire and the Aero Fire.
Fortunately, weather conditions on Tuesday afternoon are expected to offer some relief to the firefighters working hard to contain the blazes. Red flag warnings that were in effect in certain areas of California's Central Valley are set to expire early this afternoon as the winds subside and humidity levels rise.
It is crucial to note that fires can continue to burn uncontrollably as long as there is fuel to sustain them, especially under dry and windy conditions. While firefighting conditions may be favorable until Thursday, a return of dry, hot air is forecasted for Friday and is expected to persist through the weekend.
