What the National Weather Service wrote
On September 5 thunderstorms developed over interior northern California sparking several wildfires within the region. This particular fire was named the Red Bank Fire and it grew up to 8,838 acres. This fire damaged or destroyed 2 structures and caused road closures and mandatory evacuations. Evacuations were lifted by the evening of September 8.
The wider storm
An upper level low with embedded disturbances brought isolated showers and thunderstorms to the region. Model data indicated that any available moisture would be
above 700 millibars so rainfall with any thunderstorms would be limited. These conditions, combined with seasonably dry fuels and moderate to poor humidity recoveries, led to fire weather concerns for northern California.
