Warming temperatures combined with gusty offshore winds will elevate fire weather concerns. However, recent rains and a wet spring will mitigate large scale fire weather concerns. Temperatures are expected to decrease over the weekend, with coastal areas seeing more seasonal temperatures, while interior regions remain warm. Chance for precipitation in the next 7 days remains below 5%. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...LINGERING WEAK SANTA ANA WINDS INTO THURSDAY ACROSS WESTERN LOS ANGELES AND EASTERN VENTURA COUNTIES... Breezy northeast to east Santa Ana winds this afternoon are expected to continue into Thursday morning. Peak wind gusts of 20-35 mph are expected through tonight, and gusts could reach up to 30 mph on Thursday. Winds failed to reach much past the Santa Clarita Valley today. Therefore, with the LAX-DAG offshore pressure gradient falling to near 0, these winds will be even more limited Thursday morning, likely confined to the interior and higher valleys. These offshore winds will be accompanied by warm, dry conditions with areas of minimum relative humidity of 8-15 percent at interior, high elevations and the Antelope Valley. Expecting 15-30 percent minimum relative humidities for most other areas away from the coast. The extent of marine layer clouds will trend up tonight, so there will be a stark contrast between conditions near the coast and over the interior. Moving into Friday and the weekend, marine layer clouds continue to expand in coverage near the coast, especially for LA County. A building ridge of high pressure may bring significant warming to mountains and deserts, that could persist into next week. Marine layer influence should temper warming trends for coasts and coastal valleys, but the dry airmass will linger over the interior into next week. $$ ECC028-091715- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 405 PM PDT Wed May 8 2024 ...LINGERING WEAK SANTA ANA WINDS INTO THURSDAY ACROSS WESTERN LOS ANGELES AND EASTERN VENTURA COUNTIES...
