Fire Weather Discussion as of 6:05 p.m. PDT, Sunday, October 6, 2024:

The Daily Fire Weather Discussion has ended for the 2024 Fire Season. It will only be updated if conditions warrant.

Aviation discussion as of 6:30 p.m. PDT Sunday, March 30, 2025 valid through 10:00 p.m. PDT Monday, March 31, 2025:

VFR conditions this evening will remain in place until around midnight or just after when a band of rain and snow pushes into the region from the south decreasing ceilings and visibilities down to MVFR. Rain should be the main precipitation type with snow levels likely to remain around 3,000 feet or perhaps a bit higher but could see some wet snow mixed in as well which would decrease conditions to IFR if it occurs. Will see improvement during the morning hours Monday as the band lifts north and out of the area but will see scattered to numerous MVFR showers and isolated thunderstorms develop by late morning into the afternoon hours. Winds will remain light and variable but could be gusty near any heavier showers or thunderstorms Monday afternoon.
