After several fires in the Santa Clarita Valley this past week, everyone from utility representatives to fire officials to meteorologists is reminding residents that, due to unusually dry weather during fire season, they should have their Ready! Set! Go! plans ready to go. A big part of the problem: The Santa Clarita Valley and, largely the Southern California region, have experienced an extreme absence of precipitation over the last year, according to officials at the National Weather Service. “Our vegetation is already drying as we speak, and it’s going to continue to dry though the summer,” said Todd Hall, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “We’re off to a drier start than normal, and now we’re talking about water conservation.”
