THE SMOKE drifting into Mendocino County on Sunday, heavily on Monday, dissipating on Tuesday is assumed to have come from large-scale fires burning in Butte County and three fires well north of the Mendocino County line. 5,000 firefighters are battling a total of 10 wildfires in California. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning through Wednesday for coastal counties from Mendocino to Monterey, dry lightning and gusty winds combining everywhere in the state to enhance wild fires. The National Weather Service’s Ryan Aylward, said Monday that “We have an upper low set up off the coast south of San Francisco, and that switched our winds around to out of the east. And there are multiple fires now in the Sierras, and then additionally there are fires nearby in our area up in northeast Humboldt county and southwest Siskiyou county… all that smoke is now drifting our way and it’s created some really hazy conditions out there.”
