...Discussion from Monterey...

The marine layer has reformed overnight and better onshore flow will
return today. This will cause temperatures to  be significantly
cooler than yesterday with higher RH. On the  other hand, onshore
winds will be stronger than yesterday,  particularly around midday
and through the afternoon. The marine layer will gradually compress
over the next few days, allowing the inland temperatures to creep
back up.

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

...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS
VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS, AND DESERTS INTO AT LEAST MONDAY...

...WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HIGH HEAT RISK TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...

An extended period of widespread elevated to brief critical fire
weather  conditions continues through at least Monday across
valleys, mountains,  and deserts due to hot temperatures, low
humidities, and dry fuels (with locally gusty west to northwest
winds). Hotter and more unstable  conditions will lead to an
increased risk for large plume dominated fires across the interior,
especially in the Thursday through Monday during the peak heat and
lowest humidities. Warm overnight lows and moderate to poor humidity
recoveries will add to the fire risk, especially in the  foothills
and mountains. Very warm, dry, and gusty Sundowner winds will  bring
elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions during the late
afternoon and evening hours Thursday (peaking today) across
southwest  Santa Barbara county, with wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph,
strongest from  Gaviota to San Marcos Pass. By Saturday there is the
potential for  widespread very dry air (humidities in the 5-10%
range) across much of the interior. This with breezy northerly winds
(gusts 20-30 mph) and hot  temperatures will bring a small chance
(20 percent) of a Red Flag Warning  issuance for portions of the
interior.
