..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN THE INTERIOR BAY AREA AND CENTRAL
COAST THROUGH MONDAY DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES...
STRONG AND GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE TO BUILD THROUGH
SATURDAY BEFORE BECOMING NORTH TO NORTHEAST BY SUNDAY IN THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. EXPECT PEAK GUSTS GREATER THAN 30 MPH FOR MOST AREAS, WITH
AROUND 45 TO 55 MPH ALONG THE COAST, THROUGH GAPS AND PASSES, AND
ACROSS THE RIDGELINES. DAYTIME HUMIDITY RETENTION WILL FALL TO 10-
25% ACROSS THE INTERIOR REGIONS AND HIGHER PEAKS, WITH LIMITED
OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. STRONG WINDS PERSIST INTO THE EARLY
PART OF MONDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING, BUT HUMIDITIES WILL BE SLOW TO
RECOVER AS A MODEST OFFSHORE FLOW CONTINUES INTO THE EARLY PART OF
THE WEEK.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
