First winter storm of season could lash Redding with gusty wind

The Redding area is bracing for its first winter storm of the season which will bring strong, gusty wind of up to 45 mph and as much as an inch of rain — and a light coat of snow to mountain towns in the Shasta Cascade region — starting on Friday. The Pacific storm with a stream of subtropical moisture could be powerful enough to knock out power in parts of Shasta County and make road travel hazardous, according to the National Weather Service, which issued a wind advisory in effect until 7 p.m. on Nov. 13. The storm is on its way from the Gulf of Alaska and is moving over the Eastern Pacific on Nov. 12, said meteorologist Idamis Shoemaker at the weather service's Sacramento branch. South wind starts blowing through the Sacramento Valley toward Redding around 4 a.m. on Friday, the weather service said. It picks up to 25 mph around noon, bringing those strong gusts powerful enough to break delicate tree limbs, stress power lines, upturn outdoor furniture and make maneuvering difficult for drivers.

Unhealthy air hits Redding with control burns

A control burn in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest sent smoke high into the air over greater Redding, polluting skies most of Thursday and creating unhealthy conditions for some. The U.S. Forest Service and other fire protection agencies on Thursday were trying to remove as much dry flammable vegetation as possible before strong, windy weather arrives on Friday, Nov. 13, the Shasta County Air Quality Management District. Some of the most extensive burning was happening in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest north of Redding. Sensors around Shasta Lake recorded as much as three times the amount of particulate matter — the kind of pollution dangerous to humans, pets and other animals — needed to put even healthy people at risk for respiratory trouble if exposed for long, according to Purple Air pollution data . The EPA’s AirNow tracked very unhealthy air from Happy Valley south of Redding to Sugarloaf, 30 miles north of Redding on Interstate 5. Pollution reached at least moderate to unhealthy levels from Cottonwood to the Oregon border, according to the EPA and Watch Duty fire app .

Redding declares emergency in anticipation of El Niño, makes plans to clear congested drainage ditch

The Redding City Council voted last night to declare a local emergency ahead of the expected impacts of this year’s El Niño. El Niño is a climate pattern that disrupts normal weather conditions, leading to warmer-than-average temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean. In Northern California, El Niño is predicted to bring warmer temperatures and heavy rainfall this winter, which could lead to severe flooding. This year’s El Niño is particularly noteworthy because it has been projected to break records for its strength, leading to some calling it Super El Niño.
