...DRY OFFSHORE FLOW THROUGH THANKSGIVING...
.DISCUSSION...A NORTHERLY FLOW PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS
THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. THE NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE SANTA
YNEZ RANGE AND THE I-5 CORRIDOR. WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH CAN BE
EXPECTED IN THE WINDIER SPOTS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
FOR MONDAY THROUGH THANKSGIVING...AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD
OVER THE AREA WHILE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS NEAR THE SURFACE.
AT THIS TIME...A WEAK TO LOCALLY MODERATE SANTA ANA WIND EVENT IS
ANTICIPATED WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS WEDNESDAY MORNING. AS THE
OFFSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL
LEVELS EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH THANKSGIVING. AS FOR RELATIVE
HUMIDITY...THE OFFSHORE WINDS WILL DROP READINGS INTO THE TEENS
AND SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS INLAND AREAS...WITH POOR OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES. THIS SITUATION WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY AS CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE FROM TUESDAY THROUGH
THANKSGIVING. THE MAIN MITIGATING FACTOR WILL BE THE FUEL MOISTURE
WHICH HAS RISEN NOTICEABLY WITHIN THE LAST MONTH IN MANY AREAS.
