A dry continental air mass has infiltrated the Southeast and Gulf Coast states in the wake of a strong cold front. Within the base of an amplified large-scale trough over the East, strong deep-layer west-northwesterly flow will overspread this dry (albeit cool) air mass through the day. This, combined with a tight pressure gradient, will yield 15-20 mph sustained west-northwesterly surface winds (with higher gusts) amid 20-30 percent RH during the afternoon. While some areas that received rainfall along the passing front on Sunday may have a slightly reduced fire risk (i.e., parts of southern GA), ongoing drought conditions will still favor elevated fire-weather conditions for much of the central Gulf Coast states and southern GA. Farther west, expansive surface high pressure over the Great Basin will maintain a tightened offshore pressure gradient across southern CA. As a result, warm, dry, and breezy/gusty conditions across the wind-prone mountains and valleys of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties will yield a locally elevated fire-weather risk. ..Weinman.. 11/10/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
