Explainer for rapid growth of 2018 Camp Fire in northern California. No paywall.10km =~ 6.2 miles!!!!
"Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to 10) kilometers ahead of the main fire front. These firebrands ignited dense clusters of new fires that merged into rapidly advancing lobes, producing abrupt surges in fire growth that exceeded expectations based on surface wind and fuel conditions alone."

#PackFire in Mono County California.
Dark symbols are satellite heat detections within prior 6 hours. This data is not real time and sometimes false positive. There is a *lot* more info in the two links in upper left corner of the map.
If you are ordered to evacuate please do so. The fire officials have information that you do not.

New Weather West post out this evening: "Following a cool and wet October, a much warmer and drier November to come across California." I'll talk more about this in Monday's YT livestream, in addition to Hurricane #Melissa. #CAwx #CAfire https://weatherwest.com/archives/43555

Less than 2 weeks later on Jan 21, I saw from the air some of the aftermath of the #PalisadesFire. The darkened hills and gaps in city lights were obvious even in the dim light of twilight. I was on a flight descending to Los Angeles for my connection on my trip to Australia. https://avgeek.social/@ikluft/113869996607432173 #CAfire #CAwx #wildfires #SoCalFires

"How ChatGPT prompts and a lighter led Palisades Fire investigators to a suspected arsonist " by @CNN - Investigation details are becoming public with charges against the man accused of starting the #PalisadesFire that burned 23,000+ acres, destroyed 6800+ structures and killed 12 people in NW Los Angeles metro area during a Santa Ana winds event in January 2025. https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/11/us/palisades-fire-suspect-jonathan-rinderknecht #CAfire #CAwx #wildfires #SoCalFires

Next week is looking quite active in CA as a high-amplitude flow pattern develops over North Pacific in downstream response to perturbation of jet stream by West Pacific #TyphoonHalong. NorCal looks quite wet & stormy (rain & iso. tstms/mtn snow); SoCal impacts TBD. #CAwx #CAfire

New blog post out just before my 3pm PT YouTube livestream! Hurricane Priscilla moisture to bring big rain event to AZ/SE CA later this week, but significant NorCal rain event also possible next week (blame recurving West Pacific typhoon!). #CAwx #CAfire https://weatherwest.com/archives/43542

After another fairly hot and dry spell across California, cooler and more active weather will once again return later this week as remnant moisture from then-former #HurricanePriscilla interacts with an offshore low pressure system. [1/3] #CAwx #CAfire

Remnant moisture from decaying East Pacific Tropical Storm #Juliette, which previously looked like it would just miss CA to southeast, will now likely bring some showers to far SoCal (likely San Diego County only!) over the next 48 hours! #CAwx #CAfire [1/4]

#CoyoteFire - Eldorado County, California
Dark symbols are heat detections within the prior 6 hours by the MODIS and VIIRS satellites. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate.This area has not burned in over 20 years.

400-acre fire between Fairplay and Volcano; just south of the Caldor fire burn scar. Hoping CalFire gets a handle on this one soon.

#ButlerFire Siskiyou county California.
Perimeter data at the time of this post shows that 15,663 acres have burned.
