Latest: More than 4 million acres have now burned in California this year as 23 major fires remain throughout the state.
Nearly 16,500 firefighters are working on containing those fires. A total of over 8,200 wildfires have started this year, destroying 8,454 structures.
Some people evacuated from the Glass Fire in Napa and Sonoma counties began returning home Friday, but Cal Fire tweeted Saturday that the Glass Fire had been "very active."
Fatalities increased Thursday to a total of 31 after an LNU Lightning Complex victim succumbed to their injuries. Two inmate firefighters were also injured fighting the Zogg Fire in Shasta County.
Temperatures will remain warm Sunday across the state, but a cooling trend is expected to begin slowly, decreasing temperatures slightly each day. More seasonal temperatures expected by the end of the week, with a chance of some precipitation in the most northern part of the State.
Expect locally gusty winds over the next few days on the west edge of the Sacramento Valley, the North and East Bay, and Southern California mountain ranges. A fire weather warning is in effect for very Northeastern California afternoon from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. for strong, gusty winds with low humidity in the Tulelake Basin region.
Health officials have forecast an air-quality-index of 137 for Sunday in the Sacramento region, which is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
