Another warm and dry day along with the continued elevated fire weather threat for areas above the marine layer. This happens to be around 1500 feet, which is where overnight recoveries remain poor. Breezy onshore winds are expected this afternoon and evening with gusts reaching 30-35 mph through gaps and passes, within favored valleys, and across higher terrain. The pattern changes on Tuesday, when the ridge breaks down and allows for a return to cooler temperatures and coastal drizzle, but also maintains gusty afternoon winds. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO LOCALLY BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR INTERIOR VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS, AND SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRE ACTIVITY... Hot and dry conditions will continue across many valleys, mountains, and deserts through Tuesday, with widespread temperatures between 95 and 105 degrees, with the Antelope Valley climbing as high as 108 degrees. The hot temperatures across the interior will bring Moderate to High Heat Risk, especially for sensitive populations. Minimum humidities of 5 to 15 percent will be common during this period across the interior, with continued poor recoveries in the mountains and Antelope Valley. The hotter air mass will bring enhanced mixing heights of 8,000 to 16,000 feet across the interior through at least Tuesday. The hot conditions combined with fuels at or approaching critical levels will continue to support the increased threat of large plume dominated fire behavior across the interior, including the Gifford Fire. Meanwhile, southwest to northwest winds of 15-25 mph with gusts 25-40 mph will be common across the interior and southwest Santa Barbara county today through Wednesday, with isolated 30 mph gusts 45 mph can be expected near Gaviota and the I-5 corridor/western Antelope Valley foothills each night. The strongest winds will be focused across the interior mountains (especially I-5 corridor) and Antelope Valley, as well as gusty sundowner winds across southwest Santa Barbara county, mainly from Gaviota to San Marcos Pass, where temperatures could rise into the 80s to lower 90s and humidities falling to 10-25 percent in wind prone canyons and foothills. The strongest and most widespread sundowner winds are now expected Wednesday night. The combination of hot temperatures, very low humidities, and gusty winds will bring widespread elevated to locally brief critical fire weather conditions across portions of the valleys, mountains, deserts, and southwest Santa Barbara through Wednesday evening. $$ ECC028-121045- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 931 AM PDT Mon Aug 11 2025 ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO LOCALLY BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR INTERIOR VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS, AND SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRE ACTIVITY...
