...Elevated Fire Weather Conditions this Weekend and into  Monday...

Breezy to gusty dry northerly flow will continue to impact the
district through Monday. Fire weather conditions will be most
critical away from the coast and over the higher terrain. Conditions
gradually improve by Tuesday. High pressure begin to build over the
region for the second half of the week kicking off a marked warming
and drying trend.

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

......RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM PDT MONDAY FOR GUSTY
NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR THE
INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR AND VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS...

...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY
FOR REMAINING INTERIOR AREAS AND SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DUE
TO GUSTY NORTH WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS...

Strong northwest to north winds will remain widespread across
interior Southwest California today through Monday, with the
strongest wind surge expected tonight. The combination of a long
duration of strong northwest to north winds and low relative
humidity has resulted in the issuance of a Red Flag Warning until
3 pm Monday for the I-5 corridor and the Ventura county mountains as
conditions will remain favorable for large fire growth across the
Post Fire complex.  Wind gusts in this region are expected to be
45-55 mph today, increasing to 60-70 mph tonight, and 30-50 mph on
Monday. Daytime humidity levels in this region are expected to fall
to between 15-25 percent each day, lowest in downslope flow favored
areas.

Elsewhere across the region, northwest wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph
will be common at times through Monday across the interior and
southwest Santa Barbara county. Isolated gusts to 65 mph will be
likely in the strongest periods of wind across the western Santa
Ynez Range and adjacent western Santa Barbara County South Coast,
especially near Gaviota and Refugio in the evening and overnight
hours in conjunction with Sundowner wind enhancements. Meanwhile, a
warm and dry air mass will remain in place, with widespread 8 to
15 percent humidities across the interior today, and 12 to 20
percent on Monday. Poor overnight recoveries in the foothills are
also expected. The warm and dry air will continue to descend into
some coastal foothills today, including portions of southern  Santa
Barbara County. The combination of gusty winds, warm  temperatures,
and low humidities will continue to bring elevated  to brief
critical fire weather conditions across southern Santa  Barbara
county through tonight, and all interior areas  through Monday.
There is an increased risk for fast-growing grass fires over much of
the area, that could transition into wildfires where the fuel beds
are most abundant and dry.
