...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK DUE TO HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WITH PUSHES OF
OFFSHORE FLOW...

Persistent ridging will lead to hot and dry conditions across the
region through the seven day outlook. Daytime humidity retention
will remain poor to very poor away from the immediate coast, while
overnight, the thermal belts remain active and humidity retention in
the higher elevations is poor. Pushes of offshore flow are possible
in the higher elevations each morning. Hazardous heat builds this
weekend, particularly impacting fire crews across the interior
mountains and the Santa Lucia range.

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

...HIGH RISK FOR PLUME DOMINATED FIRES AND HEAT ILLNESS STARTING FRIDAY
 AND LASTING FOR MANY DAYS...

Extremely hot conditions will form on Friday and last for many days.
 High temperatures of 95 to 105, and mixing heights around
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 to 30 mph will form each night and
morning over the typically  favored areas, especially over the
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. As such,
there is a high risk for plume-dominated and fast moving  fires.
Widespread Heat Advisories and Warnings will be in effect, 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
Thursday.
