..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
EXCEPTIONALLY ABOVE NORMAL HEAT CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE
SLIGHTLY COOLER, BUT STILL ABOVE NORMAL, TEMPERATURES RETURN
SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES COOL INTO THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S ON
SATURDAY AND 70S TO LOW 80S SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK. ONSHORE WINDS
RETURN SATURDAY AND CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK. FINE FUELS ARE RAPIDLY
CURING AS A RESULT OF THE MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. 100 HR FUEL MOISTURE CHARTS SUGGEST
LARGER FUELS ARE DECENTLY MOIST BUT ARE STARTING TO DRY OUT.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
..DISCUSSION FROM LOS ANGELES/OXNARD
..EXTREMELY RARE AND LONG DURATION HEAT WAVE ENDING TONIGHT
THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROLONGED,
SIGNIFICANT HEATWAVE WILL FINALLY BREAKDOWN, RESULTING IN A SLIGHT
COOL DOWN THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REMAIN
WELL ABOVE NORMAL. FAIRLY WIDESPREAD HIGHS 10-25 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL WILL BE COMMON INTO NEXT WEEK, WITH TEMPERATURES INCREASING
AGAIN MONDAY AS THE RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK IN, ALBEIT NOT QUITE
AS STRONG AS THIS PAST WEEK. ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON, AND AGAIN SATURDAY. BEGINNING SATURDAY NIGHT, THE WIND
PATTERN WILL TILT MORE NORTHWEST TO NORTH, POTENTIALLY
STRENGTHENING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. WHILE LIVE FUEL MOISTURE
LEVELS REMAIN RATHER MOIST, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR RELATIVELY
SMALL GRASS FIRE ACTIVITY INTO NEXT WEEK DUE TO PERSISTENT HOT AND
DRY CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY AS WINDS INCREASE.
