Gusty northerly winds and low humidity increase the risk of fire danger on Thursday and Friday in areas of Northern California, according to the KCRA 3 weather team. This combination brings increased fire danger in the valley and lower foothills, says chief meteorologist Mark Finan. Grass fires will be able to spread quickly in these conditions. The KCRA 3 weather team has developed a new tool that the team will use to inform you as fire conditions change. This is called the fire threat index. This will give you an idea of the danger of fire any day in different areas of our coverage so you can plan ahead.
