..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
...ELEVATED GRASS FIRE DANGER TODAY AND MONDAY WITH GUSTY WINDS ACROSS
GAPS AND PASSES...
GUSTY NW WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO RAMP UP THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY AS A WEAK SYSTEM MOVES INLAND JUST TO OUR
NORTH. GOOD MOISTURE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WITH A REINFORCED
MARINE LAYER THANKS TO THE ROBUST ONSHORE FLOW. HOWEVER, AREAS
ABOVE ABOUT 2,000 FEET WILL SEE VERY LIMITED OVERNIGHT RECOVERY,
AND FAR INLAND AREAS WILL BE VERY DRY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
FORTUNATELY THE STRONGEST GUSTS WILL OCCUR MOSTLY ACROSS OUR FAVORED
GAPS, PASSES, AND VALLEYS, ESPECIALLY ALTAMONT PASS AND THE SALINAS
VALLEY. WIND BEGINS TO EASE LATER IN THE DAY MONDAY.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
..DISCUSSION FROM LOS ANGELES/OXNARD
...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA AND
INTERIOR AREAS THROUGH MONDAY...
...BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS LIKELY TODAY INTO TONIGHT
FOR INTERIOR MOUNTAINS ESPECIALLY NEAR THE I-5 CORRIDOR...
...CONTINUED LARGE FIRE GROWTH LIKELY TO CONTINUE TODAY THROUGH
TONIGHT FOR GIFFORD FIRE DUE TO VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS
BRINGING HIGH RISK FOR LARGE VERTICAL PLUME GROWTH, ALONG WITH
ENHANCED NORTHWEST TO NORTHEAST WINDS AT TIMES...
...EXTENDED HEAT WAVE WITH WIDESPREAD ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS LIKELY ACROSS INTERIOR WITH INCREASED THREAT OF LARGE
PLUME DOMINATED FIRES WEDNESDAY-MONDAY...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY FOR
INTERIOR AREAS INCLUDING THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AND FOOTHILLS DUE TO
VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS, ALONG WITH GUSTY ONSHORE WINDS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE INTERIOR TODAY AND MONDAY WILL RANGE BETWEEN
90 AND 100 DEGREES WITH HUMIDITY VALUES FALLING TO BETWEEN 7 AND
20 PERCENT. THERE WILL BE ENHANCED NORTHWEST TO NORTHEAST WINDS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR MOUNTAINS OF SANTA BARBARA AND VENTURA COUNTIES
(GUSTS 20-35 MPH), EXTENDING INTO THE I-5 CORRIDOR (GUSTS
25-45 MPH), LIKELY BRINGING BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
AT TIMES THROUGH TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE I-5 CORRIDOR. THERE
WILL ALSO BE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EACH AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THROUGH MONDAY FOR SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DUE TO
GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS. THE GREATEST
CONCERN WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT WHEN SUNDOWNER
WINDS WILL LIKELY BE STRONGEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD. DURING THIS
TIME, WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 50 MPH WILL BE LIKELY FROM GAVIOTA TO SAN
MARCOS PASS, AND 25 TO 40 MPH TONIGHT EXTENDING EASTWARD INTO THE
EASTERN SANTA YNEZ RANGE, ESPECIALLY NEAR MONTECITO HILLS. HUMIDITY

TODAY, BRINGING THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF PLUME DOMINATED FIRE
BEHAVIOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS WHEN MIXING HEIGHTS
CLIMB TO BETWEEN 7,000 AND 9,000 FEET. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE
CLIMBING INTO THE MID 90S THIS AFTERNOON, WHILE HUMIDITIES FALL INTO
THE TEENS. ONSHORE WINDS WILL HAVE A MORE NORTHWESTERLY WIND
DIRECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH GUSTS OF 15 TO 25 MPH
EXPECTED. FOR LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT, THERE IS EXPECTED
TO BE A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST, WITH GUSTS IN THE
15 TO 25 MPH RANGE LIKELY, STRONGEST NEAR RIDGETOPS.
LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES EXPECTED ON TUESDAY, THEN A HEAT WAVE
IS LIKELY ACROSS THE INTERIOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. DURING THIS
TIME, THERE WILL ALSO BE LOW HUMIDITIES IN THE 7 TO 15 PERCENT
RANGE. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF LARGE VERTICAL PLUME
GROWTH WITH NEW FIRES ACROSS THE INTERIOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE
MOUNTAINS.
