Current GEFS model run (18:00 UTC run on October 31) has winds over the Bay Area returning to a more normal onshore wind pattern on Thursday the 7th. That would be an end to the pattern that both brings dry winds that help cause fires and spreads the smoke into the Bay Area.

Didn't you get wildfires, let's say, 50 years ago? Why does it seem getting more intense nowadays?

Replying to @ThinkerYzu
I don't know if it actually is more intense these days. California has had fires for a long time. Maybe it's poor power-line maintenance, maybe it's more people living in wildland areas, maybe a bit of the effects of global warming. Or maybe it's been like this for a while?
