Drought *does* make fire season longer, but it's not late in the fire season rn. Sand Fire was made bad bc of poor management @nirtana77
That said, we do really need more rain. Less for wildfires, more for life in general :) @nirtana77
I think we're seeing a permanent climate shift (=> persistent winter ridging). Hope I'm wrong.
I do agee that the climate has changed . recent jet stream studies are telling
This is a big loose end nailed down somewhat: http://www.nature.com/news/clouds-get-high-on-climate-change-1.20230 …. That's our storm track, headed north.
so many periods of stagnant weather in the middle latitudes especially in the summer & way less cold for us in Tx
Models handle these changes very poorly, which makes a lot of scientists hesitant to say much.
You're mistaken. Fuel's mounted up from old-growth brush, which is there because we constantly put out small fires. @__erinbr @nirtana77
Keetch-Byram Drought Index is commonly used by USFS to predict fire danger http://bit.ly/2awsMEZ
As I explained, drought can make the fire season longer. So there's that. @CoastalUrban @__erinbr @nirtana77
Additionally: strange to make the cut-off the border with Baja California, Mexico. @CoastalUrban @__erinbr @nirtana77
Baja Cali lets wildfires burn naturally; you'll find fires don't get out of hand there like they do here. @CoastalUrban @__erinbr @nirtana77
