Low humidity and gusty winds are coming to Northern California on Thursday and Friday, significantly elevating the fire risk in the region, according to forecasters.
National Weather Service offices for the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento each issued warnings Wednesday.
"There is a risk for fire starts on Thursday into Friday given the combination of low humidity and gusty winds," the Bay Area office said. "Remember to properly dispose of matches, ensure campfires are put out, and don't let vehicle parts drag on the ground. One less spark, one less wildfire."
