Fire Weather Season Thread.

[Ed, snow and hurricane fan]

108°F in Houston, breaks the daily record from 1909.  No rain in almost 6 weeks, could approach 8 weeks per ensembles.  Hawaii has already had a major fatality fire episode. Washington state has wildfires.  Texas wildfires so fall small, but we are soon to pass 2011 records for drought and heat.  The 2011 Bastrop fire alone, in a rural county, destroyed almost 1800 homes.

 

SPC issues fire weather outlooks, NWS offices have fire weather discussions.  As a starter, Austin should receive no rain from 91L, but the NWS forecast is 20 mph gusting to 30.  Austin has already had residential buildings destroyed by wild fire.
