A Red Flag Warning went into effect early Saturday morning for Solano County as a weekend weather system stirred up blustery, bone-dry winds with gusts topping 40 mph on Mount Diablo, elevating fears of wildfires igniting and spreading on the region's drought-stricken hillsides.
The National Weather issued the warning for Solano County and nearby Sacramento Valley until Sunday evening because in addition to the increasing strength of the wind, humidity levels will also be plunging to the teens.
“We are currently seeing gusts at some buoys of 35 to 50 mph over the ocean,” the forecasters continued. “Meanwhile, early morning gusts over land are 20 mph up to around 40 mph. This northerly pressure gradient will have a bit of a lull later Saturday morning, but is forecast to increase again Saturday afternoon and overnight.”
“Strong winds are being observed over the ocean that are generating a large wind wave combined with the background swell,” forecasters said. “This wind driven swell has the potential for generating large breaking waves between 18 to 22 feet in the surf zone.”
