| Brief Description | Fire Weather Watch | |
| Detailed Description | RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TUESDAY TO 8 PM PDT THURSDAY FOR THE WESTERN SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS AND HIGHWAY 14 CORRIDOR DUE TO GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS, VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, CRITICALLY DRY FUELS, AND HOT TEMPERATURES WITH LARGE VERTICAL PLUME GROWTH POTENTIAL. . FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING FOR THE SAN LUIS OBISPO/SANTA BARBARA INTERIOR MOUNTAINS INCLUDING THE SANTA Lucias AND ADJACENT FOOTHILLS DUE TO GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS, VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, CRITICALLY DRY FUELS, AND HOT TEMPERATURES WITH LARGE VERTICAL PLUME GROWTH POTENTIAL. .A strengthening upper level high pressure system combined with weak offshore flow will bring another heat wave to the region through at least Thursday. Areas in the Red Flag Warning and Fire Weather Watch will have enhanced offshore winds at times during the period overlapping with the hot and very dry conditions, with humidities falling into the single digits. The hot and unstable conditions will bring very high mixing heights (similar to the Bridge Fire event) which will create favorable conditions for large vertical plume growth with any new fires. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a Fire Weather Watch for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect from Wednesday morning through Thursday evening. * WINDS. Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts 25 to 35 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY. Minimum humidity 5 to 15 percent each day, with very poor overnight recovery of 12 to 25 percent. * TEMPERATURES. Highs 95 to 107 degrees with mixing heights peaking at 10,000 to 18,000 feet on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon, peaking over the mountains. Minimum temperatures of 72 to 85 degrees will be common. * IMPACTS. If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable for rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior which would threaten life and property. |
