8/11/2026: Part 2 of 2 Lightning-related wildfire risks ahead. Increasing chances for thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday could lead to new fire starts and impacts on existing fires. #BayArea #Sierra #California #wildfire #TimberFire

8/11/2026: Part 1 of 2 - Wildfire smoke surged into the Bay Area from the #TimberFire on Tuesday August 11th. Here are some factors on how the 24hr fire cycle is affecting smoke forecasts and resources to track conditions. #BayArea #California #BigSur #wildfires

Can confirm the smell of wildfire smoke near Danville. Elevated levels from the inland East Bay and into the South Bay this morning. 8/11/2026

Contingent on overnight wildfire activity at the #TimberFire for daytime-like intensity & smoke output… southeasterly wind may transport smoke into the South Bay early Tuesday, before improving into the afternoon. 8/10/2026

8/10/2026 Even as temperatures cool to start the week, elevated fire danger continues along the mountains. You may be surprised to find out that for some areas it can just as warm and dry at night as during the day. #TimberFire #BayArea #BigSur #Wildfire #California

Inland heat plus hot, dry, and at times breezy conditions will keep fire danger elevated to start the week. Later on, we may have to watch for lightning sparked fire danger…stay tuned. 8/8/2026 #CAwx

I don’t know generally anything over 1007 millibars in the bay averaging 1008 to 1012 just a bit below avg (29.82 is about 1009.9 mb) - standard sea level pressure as 1013 MB. We’ll probably see it go up again with the inland temperatures around Friday and Saturday as high pressure builds back

8/4/2026: A smoke advisory has been issued through midweek, here’s a look at the forecast and some helpful websites to navigate local air quality and forecasts. #BayArea #California #Wildfires #SanFrancisco #SanJose

Monday evening model run still has some smoke/hazy conditions possible into early Wednesday, but trending less intense. For reference note the levels (unhealthy to hazardous) in Oregon, Washington 8/3/2026

“What did you do this Summer?” Super @sjsu_metcs major @0camp0_luis wrapped up his @nbcbayarea weather production internship with a full mastery of all things WSI weather graphics and show producing, his career forecast looks extremely bright ☀️

8/2/2026: larger local wildfires have increased air quality impacts of late, however, it’s the potential incoming surge of wildfire smoke from the Pacific Northwest that also has our attention to start the week. #BayArea #California #SanFrancisco #SanJose #wildfires

Smoke from the #FelizFire near Hopland drifting south into the North Bay 8/1/2026

Energy Release Component charts for the Bay Area / NorCal spiking upward as the cumulative effects from the current heat episode continue through next week. #fireweather #CAwx 8/1/2026

8/1/2026 update: The 3 things that have our attention to start August when it comes to the weather all are linked to fire danger and wildfire activity. #BayArea #California #wildfire #airquality

Saturday morning air quality shows big improvement across the North Bay … with decreased fire activity over the last 24 hours. Inland heat, warm nights and dry, offshore wind across the mtns Sunday night into Monday = elevated fire danger into early next week 8/1/2026

Similar wind profile today, stronger wind continues along/near the coast out of the NW (increasing midday-PM) short range models keep smoke generally in the same vicinity. Smoke levels contingent on wildfire, intensity and coverage later today #WoodsideFire 7/31/2026

Was nice while it lasted: Windy conditions allowing for long range spotting with the #WoodsideFire along the coast with very unhealthy air drifting southeast across Sonoma county. Air quality info via fire.airnow.gov#8.51/38.1982... 7/30/2026 #CAwx

7/27/2026: In a summer of wildfire smoke issues for much of the country we’ve been pretty fortunate so far. Here’s a look at when a seasonal change in wind direction could be changing things up as we approach Fall #BayArea #SoCal #California #wildfires #airquality

7/26/2026 update: Inland heat is set to return later this week as we will also be watching mid-level moisture giving a boost to humidity and isolated thunderstorm chances to our southeast. #BayArea

Upcoming PSPS areas due to warm, dry and breezy conditions start around early pm tomorrow and may last until 10 am Thursday per PG&E includes a portion of Marin County. More regionally extensive outages planned near Soledad, King City could last until early Thursday PM. 7/14/2026

Power outage impacting more than 5,000+ residents as of the 3pm hour out in Dublin/San Ramon/Pleasanton areas with 100-105 temps in the region. @nbcbayarea 7/14/2026

When cooling? The heat feels locked in to start the week but we do have some cooler changes around the corner while fire danger remains high especially across the inland hills. 7/14/2026 #CAwx

Cotton candy skies activated 7/12/2026 #CAwx

Hot days ahead as we see a little less humidity and more inland heat through midweek. 7/12/2026 #BayArea #SanFrancisco #SanJose #Oakland #California

Lightning-sparked fire danger is an issue this time of year especially as fuel moistures continue to dry out. The pattern ahead could keep our chances on going for a while, along with the chance of some showers at times. 7/11/2026

One of the driest times of the year… except until it isn’t. We’ve seen some drizzle at times but there could be a chance of showers late weekend and early next week with a boost in humidity. Stay tuned. 7/7/2026 @nbcbayarea.com #BayArea #SanFrancisco #Oakland #SanJose #California

7/5/2026: If you ever wonder why some Summer warm-ups are more humid than others, here is one reason why. It also happens to be part of a pattern we could be seeing later this week and into the next. Stay tuned. #CAwx
