From the second article:

"It was a beautiful sight, but a team of researchers from San Jose State University's Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center — the only wildfire research center in California — noticed something wasn't quite right.

"I was shocked when we went up there because usually in April we have a lot of new growth and old growth, and we didn’t see any new growth on the shrubs," said Craig Clements, a SJSU professor and director of the center. "We weren't seeing any of the lighter colored, bright green new growth sprouting out of the growth. Usually we take clippings of new stems and there weren't any. This has never happened."

The lack of new growth is seriously lowering the amount of moisture in the environment, providing a massive amount of fuel for the upcoming fire season. Things don't look good.
