...Discussion from Monterey...

Fire weather concerns remain low despite above normal temperatures
and occasionally gusty winds. ERC forecast values are responding to
the dry conditions but remain well below critical condition due to
rainfall over the past couple of months.

Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified.
Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds.

...HIGH END RED FLAG WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF LOS ANGELES AND
VENTURA COUNTIES THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY DUE TO MODERATE TO STRONG SANTA
ANA WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES...

...EXTENDED PERIOD OF OFFSHORE WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES WITH
ELEVATED TO POTENTIALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SUNDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

.Critical Red Flag fire weather conditions will continue across much
of Los Angeles and Ventura counties through Friday due to moderate
to strong Santa Ana winds and low humidities. While winds had
diminished some last night, they have increased in strength and
areal coverage  today, and will continue through early Friday
morning. The strongest winds today into early Friday morning will be
across the mountains (including the Santa Susanas and Santa Monicas)
and Santa Clarita Valley, where damaging wind gusts of 55 to 65 mph
can be expected, except isolated gusts 65 to 75 mph in the San
Gabriels, Santa Susanas, and western Santa Monica mountains. The
gusty Santa Ana winds have also overspread many of the typical wind
prone coastal and valley areas in LA/Ventura counties, with gusts in
the 35 to 55 mph range. With the enhanced upper level wind support
today into tonight, there will be some breezy conditions across
portions of the LA Basin, especially the west side of LA coast and
Hollywood Hills. Humidity values between 5 and 15 percent will be
common today and Friday across the Red Flag Warning area, with poor
overnight recoveries under 20 percent in windy areas tonight. The
increased Santa Ana winds today into Friday morning will bring high
end Red Flag conditions to the wind prone mountains and valleys of
Los Angeles and Ventura counties, as well as the Malibu coast.  The
offshore winds are expected to diminish on Friday afternoon, with an
onshore wind shift likely across many coastal and coastal valley
areas.

Offshore winds are expected to weaken on Saturday. An extended
period of elevated to potentially critical fire weather conditions
are in the forecast for Sunday through Wednesday due to moderate to
locally strong offshore winds, likely peaking on Tuesday.
