Offshore flow will continue to weaken across the district today, but
winds will still be gusty at times. Windiest locations will be the
higher elevations of the North and East  Bay. Despite decreasing
winds near critical fire weather  conditions will persist today due
to low humidity. Dry weather  will continue heading into the
upcoming weekend. Rain returns to  the region late this weekend and
early next week.

Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified.
Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds.

.Despite some decrease in winds since yesterday this remains a
highly critical and dangerous fire weather situation across LA and
Ventura Counties. Winds are beginning to pick up again this morning
as offshore gradients increase to around -5mb. Strongest winds today
will be in the Santa Susanna and San Gabriel Mountains where gusts
up to 60 mph are possible. Across the valleys and Ventura coastal
areas wind gusts  between 30 and 50 mph are expected. Humidities in
all areas will drop to around 10 percent.

By latest this afternoon offshore flow and upper support will be
weakening rapidly, resulting in a significant decrease in winds.
High  res models indicate that winds in most areas will drop below
25 mph by  6pm, and in many cases below 10 mph. And across the
Ventura coastal plain a light west wind is expected later this
afternoon and evening. Overnight, the winds will shift back to
northeast again, but in most areas peak winds will be 25 mph or
less. Hi res models show some isolated gusts to between 25 and
35 mph across the ridges of the Santa Susanna and San Gabriel
Mountains overnight and through the morning hours Friday. After that
winds in most areas will return to typical onshore breezes mostly
under 15 mph. Winds across the San Gabriels may remain lightly out
of the northeast through the afternoon. Humidities will remain low
through Friday except for increasing humidities near the coast.

These are Extremely Critical and highly volatile conditions. Any new
 fires in the Red Flag Warning area -- and especially the PDS Red
Flag  Warning area -- will have rapid fire spread, extreme fire
behavior, and  long range spotting.

Over the weekend typical diurnal winds are expected and mostly under
15 mph. Humidities will slowly be climbing as well.
