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. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...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. $$ ECC028-021600- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 259 PM PDT Thu Oct 1 2026 ...HIGH RISK FOR PLUME DOMINATED FIRES AND HEAT ILLNESS STARTING FRIDAY AND LASTING FOR MANY DAYS...
