...Near critical fire weather possible daily through the weekend
for much of northern California...

A strong thermal trough will remain in place through early
Thursday, bringing moderate to locally poor recoveries to ridges
along with gusty northeast winds. Meanwhile, gusty afternoon
winds and low humidities will lead to elevated, possibly critical,
fire weather conditions. Strong high pressure develops for the
latter half of the week, bringing very hot temperatures and very
low daytime humidities through at least the weekend. While
afternoon breezes won`t be quite as strong as today, the extreme
heat, and long duration of the heat will allow even typical
afternoon breezes to result in dangerous conditions favorable for
the rapid spread of fire.
