...HIGH RISK FOR EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR WITH ANY NEW FIRE STARTS
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DUE TO MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SANTA
ANA WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...
.Moderate to locally strong Santa Ana winds will quickly develop
on Thursday, peak Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon,
then weaken through the weekend. Meanwhile, dry air will settle
over the region and dry out any helpful effects of the recent
rains. Fire weather watches are now in effect, which will likely
be upgraded to Red Flag Warnings by Wednesday. Some areas may see
Red Flag conditions linger into Saturday. Interior Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo Counties may also see Red Flag conditions on
Friday, and a Fire Weather Watch is being considered.
The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a
Fire Weather Watch for wind and low relative humidity, which is
in effect from Friday morning through Friday afternoon.
* AFFECTED AREA...San Luis Obispo County Mountains and Santa
Barbara County Interior Mountains.
* TIMING...From Friday morning through Friday afternoon.
* WINDS...East 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Minimums of 8 to 20 percent common.
* IMPACTS...If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable
for extreme fire behavior which would threaten life and
property.
