Bostonseminole Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Fire around here is meh. Then again 15 years in southern California gives one an entirely different perspective. Driving on an LA freeway at night seeing flames ring the nearby hills coming in towards the city does change one's ideas. And that scenario happens at least once most years. yeah, no kidding, i lived in the Sacramento area and would have days buried in smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Tomorrow could have some brush fires for sure with those winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Didn't get much in the way of rain overnight, just enough sprinkles to dampen the ground. The winds the next couple of days will easily dry the surface. With only a chance of showers on Thursday, could be a interesting week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Major problems as the drought worsens MONDAY...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FIRE WEATHER. REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS TODAY...AND CURRENT THINKING IS DEFINITELY LESS THAN A QUARTER OF AN INCH FOR MOST LOCATIONS...CONDITIONS ARE STILL VERY DRY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. WHILE TEMPERATURES WILL DROP MONDAY MUCH LOWER THAN THE RECORD HEAT EXPERIENCED LAST WEEK... DEWPOINTS ALSO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THIS PUTS THE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES INTO THE 15 TO 20 PERCENT RANGE. IN ADDITION...STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS AND A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT COUPLED WITH EXCELLENT MIXING AND STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN STRONG...GUSTY WINDS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. EXPECT SUSTAINED WINDS BLOWING 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH. THESE CONDITIONS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE FIRE WEATHER HEADLINES...DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN OCCURS TODAY. SEE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJHUB Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 stupid kids lit a decent size brush fire over the weekend in what looked like there parents yard, they live next to a nature preserve....idiots....it didn't make news or anything but its 1 street over from me, looked like they were twigs and such but clearly when I drove by it was out of control, burning around trees and such. Half their yard and the border of the nature preserve is scorched earth now, they got lucky to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing areas have crazy things happen to them out of the ordinary whether it be weather, or other events. Crazy events bring out the best in communities too IMO.

Have you ever humped an Indian Tank deep into the brush during a spring brush fire with winds whipping in all directions with fire jumping around? Crazy stuff.
