Fire Weather Watch Dry Lightning I5 Corridor

Possibility of a dry lightning event if the unstable air mass and moisture form over the mountain ranges in northern LA and Ventura Counties:

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN U.S. WILL
CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST TODAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN WEAK EASTERLY
FLOW AT LOWER AND MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ALLOWING A LIMITED
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION. THIS MOISTURE ALONG
WITH DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
WITH DRY LIGHTNING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM NEAR THE I-5
CORRIDOR WESTWARD TO NEAR CUYAMA. THIS INCLUDES THE MOUNTAINS OF
NORTHERN VENTURA COUNTY AND NORTHEAST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY...THE
LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST...AND A SMALL PORTION OF THE ANGELES
NATIONAL FOREST IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
