DISCUSSION FOR VANDENBERG ECC DISPATCH
935 AM PDT MON MAR 16 2026
..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
MAINLY CLEAR SKY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK
WITH MID-TO-UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO MUCH ABOVE THE SEASONAL AVERAGE BEGINNING
MONDAY, WITH HIGHS RUNNING AROUND 20 TO 30 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AND
WARMING LOW TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEK. A MODERATE THERMAL BELT
WILL FORM IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, LIMITING OVERNIGHT COOLING AND
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. THE CONTINUED WARM AND DRYING WILL CURE FINE
FUELS ACROSS THE REGION AND RESULT IN AN ELEVATED POTENTIAL FOR
GRASS FIRES. WINDS WILL STAY MOSTLY LIGHT TO MODERATE THROUGH THE
EVENT, LIMITING THE FIRE SPREAD, BUT THAT ALONG WITH A LOW MIXING
HEIGHT WILL IMPACT SMOKE DISPERSION. HAZY CONDITIONS LOOK TO FORM IN
MOST OF THE VALLEYS THIS WEEK AS THIS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ALOFT.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
