Wrong -

Atherton forecast:
TOMORROW
SAT 06/23
HIGH 92 F 0% Precip. / 0.00 in
Sunny. High 92F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

These conditions make the fuel heavy areas from Skyline to the Bay VERY vulnerable to fires - which, if started, could spread rapidly.

As predicted:

The Pawnee Fire in Lake County, California has rapidly outpaced efforts to combat it, according to CBS San Francisco. The inferno spread rapidly Sunday to 7,700 acres and razing at least a dozen structures.

Cal Fire said the blaze was "out of control" and the threat to homes in the Spring Valley are was "imminent." At 5 p.m. PT, the blaze had grown to 3,000 acres and was threatening 600 structures as it burned through the area of steep, rugged terrain.
