Hot, dry, unstable and windy conditions are expected today which will
result in critical fire weather conditions this afternoon and early
evening. After poor humidity recoveries this morning, humidity values
will quickly drop today, and more than 6 hours of single digit RH
values are expected this afternoon and evening. Gusty southwest winds
this afternoon will become west to northwesterly this evening as a
Pacific cold front passes through the area. A quick increase in wind
speeds can be expected as the front passes. Fair humidity recoveries
are expected tonight. Breezy conditions return on Tuesday, but
overall, winds are not expected to be as strong. Still, 5 to 6 hours
of single digit RH values are likely.
