The marine layer remains compressed to around 1000 feet with poor overnight recoveries (20-30%) and poor daytime humidity retention (10-30%) continuing above it. Conditions improve slightly Friday into the weekend as the marine layer deepens to between 1000 to 1500 feet. This is caused by an approaching upper level trough that will bring a cooling trend, improving daytime and overnight RH values, cloudy mornings, and diurnally breezy afternoon and evening winds across favored locations. The one exception will be the interior Central Coast where hot, dry daytime conditions prevail through the forecast period. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...SEASONABLY ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK, PEAK THROUGH THURSDAY... ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FROM THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS...
