The blaze just north of the California border was 25% contained.Meteorologists predicted critically dangerous fire weather through at least Monday with lightning possible in both California and southern Oregon.“With the very dry fuels, any thunderstorm has the potential to ignite new fire starts,” the National Weather Service in Sacramento, California, said on Twitter.Thousands of people were already facing evacuation orders, including some 2,000 people residing in the largely rural areas of lakes and wildlife refuges near the fire, which has burned at least 67 homes and 100 outbuildings while threatening many more.Extremely dry conditions and heat waves tied to climate change have swept the region, making wildfires harder to fight.
