DISCUSSION FOR...VANDENBERG ECC DISPATCH
326 PM PDT TUE MAY 21 2013

...DISCUSSION FROM LOS ANGELES/OXNARD...

...HOT AND DRY INLAND CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

...GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE WEEK IN ADVANCE OF A SLOWLY
DROPPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM THE NORTH. THIS WILL HELP ONSHORE
FLOW TO MAINTAIN ITSELF AT LEAST AT LOWER ELEVATIONS ON THE COASTAL
SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS...WITH A MODERATELY DEEP MARINE LAYER.
MEANWHILE...NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL BE ON THE RISE INTO
THURSDAY...WITH A PEAK ON WEDNESDAY. THESE WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST
OVER SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY...THE CENTRAL
COAST...I-5 CORRIDOR...AND ANTELOPE VALLEY. THE SANTA BARBARA SOUTH
COAST AND I-5 CORRIDOR COULD SEE A FEW HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS WELL AS THE
INTERIOR VALLEYS.

HUMIDITIES OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND INLAND AREAS WILL REMAIN DRY
THROUGH THE WEEK...WITH MODERATELY POOR OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES.
OTHERWISE...THE MARINE LAYER SHOULD MODERATE COASTAL AND NEARBY
VALLEY HUMIDITIES. AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES CLOSER TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...ONSHORE WINDS WILL INCREASE BY THE END OF THE
WEEK OVER THE INTERIOR SECTIONS. NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED WITH
THIS SYSTEM.
