Date	Time	News and Notes
10/01/2010	0646	Initial Attack Activity was light in the GACC yesterday with 16 fires for 35 acres reported in the Daily Situation Report, ( there may be a 24-hour delay in reporting on the SIT report) Fuels are dry throughout the region.  1000 hour fuels are measured at or below 15 percent except for the North Coast PSA.   BI is averaged at 51 for the GACC.    Weak low pressure west of Baja is pushing high level subtropical moisture northward toward the North Ops region. Cloudiness is expected Friday, and there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms southeast of Quincy during the afternoon. Saturday will be similar, but with slight chances spreading into Lassen and Modoc Counties and eastward. A Pacific low pressure trough will sweep through the region with gusty winds and a few clouds and isolated showers in the far north Sunday and early Monday. By Monday night conditions appear favorable for a significant N-NE wind pattern from the lower western slopes of the Sierra to the coast.
