359 AM PDT Tue Oct 1 2024
...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM PDT TUESDAY
FOR ZONES 203 AND 204...
...ELEVATED TO LOCALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER RISK DUE TO HOT, DRY
CONDITIONS WITH LOW HUMIDITY FOR ZONES 283, 276, 277 AND 264
THROUGH THURSDAY...
.DISCUSSION...A dry airmass with an offshore flow component will continue
to promote hot temperatures from 95 to 110F. Low humidity and
breezy offshore flow will promote elevated to locally critical
fire weather risks for zones 283, 276, 277, and 264 through
Thursday. Expect poor RH recovery tonight into Wednesday morning.
Fire weather concerns ease up a bit for later in the work week as
temperatures overall will not be quite as warm.
