...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
THROUGH NEXT WEEK DUE TO HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS...

Coastal stratus and fog with some inland intrusion has taken place
within a ~ 1,000 feet deep marine layer this morning. Otherwise
strong lower to mid level ridging persists leading to hot and dry
conditions across the region through the weekend and much of next
week. Daytime humidity retention will remain poor to very poor away
from the immediate coast, while overnight, thermal belts remain
active with poor humidity retention in the higher elevations.

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

...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH HIGH RISK
FOR PLUME DOMINATED FIRES AND HEAT ILLNESS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT
WEEK...

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.
