..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR THE INTERIOR NORTH AND
EAST BAYS, THE DIABLO RANGE AND THE SANTA LUCIA RANGE THROUGH THE
WEEK DUE TO DRY DAYTIME CONDITIONS...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE THIS WEEK. THE HIGHEST
CONCERNS ARE FOR THE NORTH AND EAST BAYS, THE DIABLO RANGE AND THE
SANTA LUCIA RANGE WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS
DURING THE DAY. THE MARINE LAYER WILL CONTINUE AROUND 1500 FEET OR
SLIGHTLY HIGHER TODAY WITH EXCELLENT RECOVERY WITHIN IT, HOWEVER
FOR LOCATIONS ABOVE 1800 FEET RECOVERIES WILL BE POOR. GUSTY
DIURNAL ONSHORE WINDS WILL PERSIST ALONG COASTAL AREAS, MOUNTAIN
GAPS, PASSES AND RIDGELINES. TEMPERATURES INCREASE FRIDAY, SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. EXPECT CONTINUED POOR OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES AT THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND LOW DAYTIME HUMIDITY ACROSS THE INTERIOR.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
..DISCUSSION FROM LOS ANGELES/OXNARD
...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND INCREASED
RISK FOR LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES ACROSS INTERIOR VALLEYS,
MOUNTAINS, AND DESERTS THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY...
..MODERATE TO HIGH HEAT RISK THIS WEEK FOCUSED OVER THE INTERIOR
WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS INTERIOR VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, AND DESERTS DUE TO HOT,
DRY, AND BREEZY CONDITIONS INTO AT LEAST SUNDAY. DEEP MIXING
HEIGHTS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FRINGE MONSOONAL MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED RISK FOR PLUME DOMINATED FIRE
BEHAVIOR THROUGH AT LEAST THIS WEEKEND. HUMIDITES OVER THE FAR
INTERIOR WILL COMMONLY BE IN THE 5 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE WITH FAIRLY
TYPICAL SOUTHWEST TO ONSHORE WINDS OF 10 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO
20 TO 35 MPH IN WINDIEST AREAS OVER THE INTERIOR. GUSTIEST WINDS
WILL LIKELY COME SUNDAY. THE POTENTIAL FOR OVERLAP OF VERY DRY AIR
AND GUSTY WINDS BRINGS A LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE FOR CATEGORY 2 RED
FLAG WARNINGS ON SUNDAY. WHILE COASTAL VALLEYS WILL BE DRY, THEY
WILL LIKELY SEE HUMIDITES REMAIN ABOVE 20 PERCENT. SIMILAR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH A SLIGHT COOLING
TREND LIKELY.
