The ongoing heat wave will begin to peak today for the southern half of the area with highs above 110 and extremely dry RH below 10 percent. Northeast winds gusting up to 20 mph along the rim of the Sacramento Valley will continue to bring critical fire weather conditions to southeast Lake County through this evening before calming. Similar though more isolated northeast winds can be expected each night over high terrain through Thursday, especially in the the Klamath Mountains. With such dry conditions, even gentle terrain winds will promote periods of critical fire weather each afternoon, especially within wind channeled valleys. ##################################################################### ## ## ## Complete a discussion for each ECCDA segment below ## ## When done click transmit, product sent as KMTRFWLMTR ## ## ## ##################################################################### ECC010-040945- St Helena ECC Dispatch- DISCUSSION FOR Marin and Sonoma and Napa Counties 243 PM PDT Wed Jul 3 2024 Northerly winds are gusting in the 20-30 mph range mph overnight, with Mt.
