...Gusty Offshore Winds and Drying Conditions Sunday Night
through Tuesday Morning...

.A rapid shift towards gusty offshore winds and drier conditions
will occur from Sunday night through Tuesday that will impact the
interior North and East Bay hills above 1000 feet. These drying
conditions and gusty offshore winds, in conjunction with near to
record dry fuels across the interior, will result in an increased
risk of critical fire weather concerns for the specified
locations that see little or no rain this weekend. Thus, this
weekend`s rainfall amounts will likely dictate upgrading this
watch to a red flag warning or not.

Urgent - Fire Weather Message

...Gusty Offshore Winds and Increasingly Dry Conditions Sunday
Night through Monday...

.An early autumn offshore flow event will impact portions of
interior northwest California beginning Sunday night and
continuing Monday.

Although substantial wetting rainfall is expected farther to the
north through tonight, rainfall amounts across southern and
eastern Lake County are expected to total less than a tenth of an
inch. As high pressure builds quickly in to the north Sunday night
into Monday, winds will shift from northwesterly to northeasterly
and become gusty, especially over exposed higher slopes and
ridges. This wind will bring in much drier air, followed by a
hotter and drier day on Monday. Some locally breezy conditions may
persist over the exposed ridgetops Monday night, but expect winds
will be lighter overall. However, humidity recoveries heading
into Tuesday morning will be much poorer.

* HUMIDITY...Sunday night recoveries of 40 to 60 percent... lowest
  over ridgetops. Humidity in the teens on Monday afternoon.
  Recoveries Tuesday morning only in the 25 to 40 percent range.

* IMPACTS...Any fire starts will spread rapidly due to dry
  fuels, low humidity and gusty winds, in areas that do not
  receive much wetting rains over the weekend.
