RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL COAST REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH 5 PM WEDNESDAY...Red Flag warnings persist across the Bay Area, with widespread verification being reported this afternoon. Sustained winds are from the NE at 15-30 mph with gusts as high as 70 mph in the higher elevations. The RH is generally between 10 and 20%. The dry, offshore winds have mixed down to the lower elevations and even the Oakland International Airport observation is reporting Red Flag Conditions (17% RH, 20G32MPH winds). It`s a different story in the Central Coast. Observations in the Santa Lucia Mountains, Gabilan Range and southern Diablo Range of Monterey and San Benito Counties are reporting RH in the 20-30% range with much weaker winds of 5-10 mph. For this reason, we have decided to end this section of the Red Flag Warning early. The Central Coast section is now set to expire after peak heating at 5 PM, while the rest of the Bay Area will remain in effect through 7 AM. While the Bay Area winds are running a little stronger than our forecast, the SFO-WMC gradient has started to decrease and all indications are that the winds will greatly diminish overnight for all but the North Bay Interior Mountains, where strong winds will likely hold on until sunrise. ...Discussion from SFOFWFEKA... ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM PST THURSDAY...Gusty northeasterly winds have ramped up, primarily for Lake and eastern Mendocino counties. Humidity is expected to gradually drop though the day with widespread RHs in the teens to low 20s, which have prompted a red flag warning for zones 264 and 277. Winds begin to diminish Thursday morning and RH recoveries improve toward the end of the week. ##################################################################### ## ## ## Complete a discussion for each ECCDA segment below ## ## When done click transmit, product sent as KMTRFWLMTR ## ## ## ##################################################################### ECC010-071045- St Helena ECC Dispatch- DISCUSSION FOR Marin and Sonoma and Napa Counties 236 PM PST Wed Nov 6 2024 ...RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR THE BAY AREA EXTEND THROUGH 7 AM THURSDAY.
