A lot of dry fuel (vegetation) and triple digit temps. No wind needed as this combination will create its own wind.
How crazy is this?
A pyrocumulus cloud formed from the #CarrFire...
If it gets big enough it can create a microclimate, which means more winds and the possibility for lightening.

Strong uplifting force in the center with low pressure, surrounded by high pressure. Hot air squeezing moisture from humidity in the air. Equals clouds. Basically, from my pilot hubs.

Maybe the good people
@NWSMedford can help explain Fire Weather. -
Much like in a typical thunderstorm environment, the extreme surface heat from the fire sets in motion convective processes that lead to this - the development of a pyrocumulus cloud.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammagenitus_(cloud) …
