Current surface observations depict an ongoing offshore wind event within favored terrain/gaps across portions of southern CA. Wind gusts of 35-45 mph from the east-northeast are expected to diminish later this afternoon as the offshore pressure gradient begins to wane. In addition, fuels remain largely unfavorable for wildfire spread and will further mitigate overall fire weather impacts. ..Williams.. 12/01/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0133 AM CST Mon Dec 01 2025/ ...Synopsis... On the backside of a positively tilted midlevel trough departing the Rockies, surface high pressure will build over the Great Basin/Intermountain West. This will yield an enhanced offshore pressure gradient across southern CA, where moderate midlevel northerly flow will be in place on the backside of the trough. These factors will contribute to dry/breezy east-northeasterly surface winds across the typical wind-prone mountains/valleys of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. While locally elevated conditions are possible, marginal fuels should tend to limit the overall risk. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
