Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...

...Synopsis...
Mid-level easterly flow will overspread southern California with the
approach of a 500 mb cutoff low today, providing enough upper
support, in tandem with a persisting surface pressure gradient, to
promote continued dry offshore flow. By afternoon, sustained winds
may exceed 20 mph (with higher gusts) over several locales, from the
Ventura Valley to the Laguna Mountains. RH may dip to 10-20 percent
with the stronger wind speeds, necessitating continued Critical
highlights.
