Warm and dry conditions continue through the weekend and into the early part of next week resulting in elevated fire weather threats. Breezy onshore winds develop each afternoon and evening with gusts reaching 30-35 mph through gaps and passes, favored valleys, and elevated terrain. Overnight humidity recoveries above 1500 feet remain poor, increasing the fire weather threat above the marine layer influence. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO LOCALLY BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS, AND SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRE ACTIVITY... Hot and dry conditions will continue across many valleys, mountains, and deserts through early next week, with widespread temperatures between 95 and 105 degrees. The above normal temperatures will continue to bring Moderate Heat Risk, especially for sensitive populations. Minimum humidities of 5 to 15 percent will be common during this period across the interior, with continued poor recoveries in the mountains. The hotter air mass will bring enhanced mixing heights of 8,000 to 16,000 feet across the interior through early next week. The hot conditions combined with fuels at or approaching critical levels will continue to support the increased threat of large plume dominated fire behavior across the interior, including the Canyon and Gifford fires. Meanwhile, south to west winds of 12-25 mph with gusts 20-35 mph will remain common in the afternoon and evening across the interior through Saturday, then southwest to northwest winds of 15-30 mph with gusts 25-45 mph Sunday through Wednesday. The strongest winds will be focused across the interior mountains (especially I-5 corridor) and Antelope Valley. There is also the potential for enhanced sundowner wind activity across Southwest Santa Barbara county each evening from Sunday through Wednesday, which could bring very warm and dry conditions to wind prone foothills and canyons. $$ ECC028-091630- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 323 PM PDT Fri Aug 8 2025 ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO LOCALLY BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE-WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS, AND SOUTHWEST SANTA BARBARA COUNTY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRE ACTIVITY...
