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. ...Discussion from SFOFWFEKA... A building heatwave will begin to reach full strength today with highs climbing above 100 in the interior. By Wednesday, highs will be solidly around 110 for valleys away from marine influence. Extremely dry RH will accompany the heat with minimum RH below 10 percent. Overnight conditions are already showing little relief with poor recoveries through the week of 30 to 40 percent. Strong northeast winds gusting up to 25 mph along the rim of the Sacramento Valley will continue to bring critical fire weather conditions to southeast Lake County over the next 48 hours. Similar though more isolated northeast winds can be expected each night by Wednesday morning across high terrain, 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 ## ## ## ##################################################################### ECC010-031000- St Helena ECC Dispatch- DISCUSSION FOR Marin and Sonoma and Napa Counties 258 PM PDT Tue Jul 2 2024 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.
