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, near critical, fire weather conditions. Strong high pressure develops for the latter half of the week into the weekend, bringing very hot temperatures and very low daytime humidities through at least the weekend. While afternoon breezes will not 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. $$ ECC102-041500- East Yreka- Discussion for Eastern Klamath 158 PM PDT Wed Jul 3 2024 ...Near critical fire weather possible daily through the weekend for much of northern California...
