...Discussion from Monterey...

Temperatures are peaking later today with highs in the mid 90s to
mid 100s across the interior regions today. Dry conditions continue
during the day away from the immediate coast. Humidity recoveries
overnight are decent in the lower elevations  but become poor in the
higher elevations. Temperatures start  cooling on Sunday as onshore
flow strengthens.

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



...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard...

...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS  ACROSS INTERIOR
TODAY DUE TO HOT, DRY,  AND LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS...

...LONG DURATION HEAT AND MODERATELY DRY CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND
INTO MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...

...SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY FOR AREAS
SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION...

The mountains, interior valleys, and deserts will remain dry today,
with areas of breezy winds. Winds are starting to shift to the
southeast and south, with gusts between 20 and 35 mph across the
interior  expected. Winds look strongest for the mountains of LA and
Ventura  counties, as well as the Antelope Valley.

High pressure builds over the region this weekend, and should
persist  into this coming week. This setup creates the potential for
a long  duration heat event over the interior, and possibly interior
valleys  with these hot conditions possible into Thursday. High
temperatures  between 96 and 107 will be common from the warmest
coastal valleys to  the interior areas. Breezy winds from typical
diurnal directions will  form each day. Sundowner and I-5 Corridor
winds will likely start again  Monday afternoon/evening and increase
each day through next week, with  gusts reaching 40 mph by Thursday.
Minimum humidities over the mountains and interior areas between
8 and 15 percent will be common today. The  combination of hot, dry,
and locally breezy conditions will bring  elevated fire to brief
critical on today when there is a better overlap  of gusty winds and
very low humidity(especially in the mountains of Los  Angeles and
Ventura counties and Antelope Valley). With ample dead fuels and
dried grasses, the risk for large grass fires will remain elevated
for today. Humidity levels are expected to rise with the incoming
tropical moisture Sunday into Monday.

This moisture, from the remnants of former Tropical Storm Alberto,
will bring a 10-20 percent chance of thunderstorms to areas south of
Point  Conception tonight into Sunday, then falling to less than
10 percent by  Monday. With the lowest levels of the atmosphere
still fairly dry on  Saturday night, any thunderstorms that do form
will most likely have  limited rainfall which could trigger a fire
ignition and generate gusty  downdraft winds. As the atmosphere
moistens on Sunday, there will be a  low but present risk for brief
heavy downpours, especially in the  mountains.
