Above the marine layer expect poor minimum daytime relative humidity in the afternoons across the interior with little to no recovery at night in the higher terrain. The marine layer will remain confined closer to the coast and bays. Sea breezes are expected in the afternoons and evenings. 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 AWAY FROM THE COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES, PEAKING TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO HOTTER TEMPERATURES... ...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS... Moderately hot and dry conditions will continue through Sunday with very little day to day changes. Temperatures between 95 and 105 will be common over most valleys, mountains, and deserts. These temperatures will likely bump up slightly from Monday through Thursday, especially across the valleys and interior coastal plain as weak offshore pressure trends are likely to develop. This will likely translate into expansion of elevated fire weather conditions over these areas. Minimum humidities will lower to between 10 and 25 percent each day away from the coast, driest next week. Meanwhile, mixing heights will likely range between 10,000 and 17,000 feet across the interior each afternoon, which will maintain the threat for large plume dominated fires. Gusty sundowner winds will likely affect southwest Santa Barbara County the next several evenings, potentially becoming slightly stronger/widespread with hotter/drier conditions by Tuesday and Wednesday evening. This will likely bring brief critical fire weather conditions to Southern Santa Barbara county, with a 20-30 percent chance of Red Flag durations during this time. $$ ECC028-221630- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 317 PM PDT Fri Aug 21 2026 ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES, PEAKING TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO HOTTER TEMPERATURES... ...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS...
