Scattered showers will be possible across the North Bay tonight, but the rest of the district will remain dry. Brief back in precip on Thursday with dry conditions everywhere. Rain returns to the district Thursday night and Friday. Dry weather returns this weekend. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY ACROSS THE VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, AND FOOTHILLS OF LA/VENTURA COUNTIES DUE TO LOCALLY BREEZY OFFSHORE WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS, SHIFTING TO INTERIOR MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO BREEZY ONSHORE WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES... ...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS LIKELY ON SUNDAY DUE TO WEAK TO LOCALLY MODERATE OFFSHORE WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES... ...SCENARIOS RANGING FROM A WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDSTORM AND EXTREME FIRE-WEATHER RISK TO WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW FOR NEXT TUESDAY TO THURSDAY -- EACH SCENARIO POSSIBLE BUT FAR FROM CERTAIN... Localized northeast wind gusts between 20 and 35 mph will linger this afternoon in the wind prone mountains, hills, and valleys of LA and Ventura counties, with humidities between 8 and 20 percent common, resulting in elevated fire weather conditions. Winds will turn southeast to south tonight and onshore by Friday with improving humidities, except lingering low humidities over the interior mountains and Antelope Valley where elevated fire weather conditions will continue. There is a chance of light rain over northern areas Friday night. Behind this system, Northwest to north wind gusts of 30 to 45 mph are likely on Saturday over the wind prone areas, however humidities will likely remain elevated between 25 and 40 percent. A return of weak to locally moderate offshore winds will return across LA, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo counties, with gusts mostly in the 20 to 40 mph range. The offshore winds combined with humidities lowering to between 12 and 25 percent will bring elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions to LA/Ventura counties on Sunday. Offshore winds will likely develop Tuesday through at least Thursday, and possibly into Friday of next week. While there is still some uncertainty in the evolution of next week`s weather pattern, there is a moderate to high risk of an extend period of Red Flag conditions over Los Angeles and Ventura Counties sometime between Tuesday and Friday, with a low to moderate risk of Red Flag conditions more briefly impacting parts of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. This wind event has the potential for strong upper level wind support (especially in LA/Ventura counties), bringing the potential for damaging wind gusts of 55 to 80 mph (strongest in the mountains) in the Tuesday to Wednesday time period, with at least moderate offshore winds likely into Thursday, and possibly Friday. While there is a 50 percent probability of a strong offshore wind event with extreme fire weather concerns, there is also a 50 percent probability of a weak to moderate offshore wind scenario. Humidities may remain elevated at the onset of offshore winds on Tuesday, with the higher probability of widespread humidities around 15 percent or less on Tuesday night or Wednesday. $$ ECC028-031645- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 238 PM PST Thu Jan 2 2025 ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY ACROSS THE VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, AND FOOTHILLS OF LA/VENTURA COUNTIES DUE TO LOCALLY BREEZY OFFSHORE WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS, SHIFTING TO INTERIOR MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON DUE TO BREEZY ONSHORE WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES... ...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS LIKELY ON SUNDAY DUE TO WEAK TO LOCALLY MODERATE OFFSHORE WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES... ...SCENARIOS RANGING FROM A WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDSTORM AND EXTREME FIRE-WEATHER RISK TO WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW FOR NEXT TUESDAY TO THURSDAY -- EACH SCENARIO POSSIBLE BUT FAR FROM CERTAIN...
