...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH HIGH RISK FOR
PLUME DOMINATED FIRES AND HEAT ILLNESS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...
.DISCUSSION...
Extremely hot conditions will begin today and persist through much of
next week. High temperatures of 95 to 105 degrees, and mixing heights over
10,000 feet, will be common over much of the area, including the coasts.
While winds will generally be light, local north to east winds of 10 to
20 mph with gusts 20 to 30 mph will form each night and morning over the
typically favored areas, especially this weekend. Minimum humidities
between 10 and 25 percent will be common. Due to the lighter winds, Red Flag
Warnings are unlikely, but there is a history of large fires with similar
heat and deeper mixing heights. As such, there is a high risk for
plume-dominated and fast moving fires. Widespread Heat Advisories and
Warnings are in effect through next week, with a high risk for heat-related
illness. There is also a 5-10% chance of a thunderstorm over the interior
mountains early next week, along with minor to moderate coastal flooding
concerns Tuesday through Friday.
