A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the North Bay Interior Mountains, Marin and Sonoma Coastal Ranges, East Bay Hills, and the Santa Cruz Mountains through 5 AM Friday and a Fire Weather Watch in effect Friday morning through Sunday evening for the Santa Lucia Mountains and Los Padres National Forest, Southern Salinas Valley, and Mountains of San Benito and Interior Monterey County. Northerly winds are generally gusting in the 15-25 mph range, with Mt. Diablo gusting as high as 57 mph and Mt. St. Helena gusting as high as 63 mph Tuesday morning. RH values will drop into the teens as a prolonged hot dry pattern takes hold this week. While fire weather concerns extend beyond the next couple days, winds should decrease and switch back to onshore later in the week. While this may help end the Red Flag Warning, any 4th of July fireworks could easily ignite the dry fuels. Campers should be very careful with anything dragging from trailers and practice good campfire etiquette including obeying any restrictions. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...FIRE WEATHER WATCHES IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR AND SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DUE TO HOT TEMPERATURES, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS... ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND DUE TO HOT TEMPERATURES AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... Today through Wednesday will be the beginning of a long duration heat waves across Southwestern California. Afternoon temperatures will be on the increase, topping out in the 100-110 range across interior sections on Wednesday with cooler temperatures closer to the coast. With the developing heat, lower relative humidity can be expected away from the coast. Typical diurnal winds can be expected through Wednesday with gusty southwesterly winds across interior sections in the afternoon and evening. Elevated fire weather conditions can be anticipated across interior sections through Wednesday. For Thursday through the weekend, the heat will continue to build with Friday likely the hottest day. Dangerous heat can be expected for most areas through the weekend. Very low relative humidity will accompany the hot temperatures with minimum relative humidity dropping into the low teens and single digits with poor overnight recovery. Additionally, there will be some gusty northwesterly winds late Thursday through Friday night across the Interstate 5 corridor as well as southern Santa Barbara county. This combination will bring the chance of widespread critical fire weather conditions and FIRE WEATHER WATCHES are in effect for the Interstate 5 Corridor and southern Santa Barbara County Thursday evening through Friday night. Elsewhere across the region, typical diurnal winds can be expected through the weekend. So, elevated fire weather conditions are expected through this weekend away from the coast. Beginning today, and continuing into Monday, high pressure will build into the region from the Eastern Pacific. This will bring a significant and long duration heat wave away from the coast from today through at least Monday, and possibly into the middle of next week. High temperatures between 100 and 110 degrees will be common across the interior during this period, with temperatures potentially rising to between 110 and 115 degrees across the Antelope Valley and San Luis Obispo County interior valleys during the peak of the heat Thursday through Saturday. Overnight lows will also remain very warm (especially in the mountains, foothills, and Antelope Valley), adding to the dangerous heat wave. Widespread humidity values between 7 and 15 percent will likely occur across the interior during this period, along with poor humidity recoveries, especially in the mountains, foothills, and Antelope Valley. Typical gusty onshore winds are expected across interior sections in the afternoon and evening hours, with gusts of 20 to 35 mph common. There is also the potential for gusty sundowner/I-5 corridor winds late Thursday into Friday night which could bring hot and dry conditions into portions of southern Santa Barbara county. The hot and unstable conditions will also increase the threat of large vertical plume growth for any fires that develop across the interior. The very hot and dry conditions will also cause a significant drop in both live and dead fuel moisture levels this week. These drying fuels combined with the expected fire weather conditions and increased outdoor activities associated with 4th of July festivities this week will cause the large fire threat to become high for areas away from the coast through at least Monday and possibly into the middle of next week. This is a serious fire weather event, and a hazardous heat event for human health. $$ ECC028-031615- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 306 PM PDT Tue Jul 2 2024 ...FIRE WEATHER WATCHES IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR AND SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DUE TO HOT TEMPERATURES, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS... ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND DUE TO HOT TEMPERATURES AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...
