These are very specific ZONES that you can see your Spot Forecast…

The first link you show:

https://www.weather.gov/wrh/fire?wfo=mtr&LAT=36.9864&LON=-121.9297#tab-3

identifies an area in Aptos, rather than an area encompassing NRG. For some reason I am not able to upload the relevant screen capture, or respond in any other way, because I receive this message: “Sorry, we were unable to generate a preview for this web page, because the following oEmbed / OpenGraph tags could not be found: description, image”.

Continuing from prior reply:

The red line identifies NRG.

Concerning the next link, and this:

SPOT Forecast for SATA CRUZ MOUNTAINS

Fire Weather Forecast for ZONE CAZ512

It looks like Zone CAZ512 extends from Davenport past Watsonville nearly to Hwy 101. Does it fully encompass what I seem to recall is our local fire zone, recently renamed CTL-2? What is the relationship? Who monitors which? Sometimes I feel concerned about whether state, regional, county, and city fire agencies adequately share information and codes.

But now I see by this link:

https://www.weather.gov/wrh/fire?wfo=mtr&LAT=36.9864&LON=-121.9297

we are actually in zone CAZ529? I’m confused.

Sorry, Carolyn. I don’t know the answers to your questions. Best to email Marco Mack directly. If you’re attending the Evacuation Smarts class on Feb 5th, you can ask him them. :slight_smile:

I will do so, provided I can get my webcam to work on Zoom. After jumping through assorted hoops, finally I got it to work on Google Meet; whereupon it ceased to handle sound correctly on Zoom, which never gave a problem before. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
