Critical and extremely critical fire weather conditions continue across parts of California through Thursday, October 31, 2019, especially for southern California. At least 10 fires are burning across the state on October 30, with more than 26 million people under red flag warning. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) cut off power to about 1 million customers in Northern California earlier this week in an attempt to prevent wildfires.

Powerful and strong offshore Santa Ana winds will combine with very low relative humidity levels and overall dry conditions to create unfortunately favorable conditions for rapid fire growth and extreme fire behavior of existing and new fires, NWS warns.
