Broadly speaking temperatures are a couple degrees cooler and the humidity is slightly higher than yesterday afternoon, though most of the improvement has been across lower elevations. Above 1,500 feet the RH is below 30% with temperatures in the 90s, and onshore gusts are around 15-25 mph, all supporting a moderate fire weather threat. The improving trend should gradually continue through the next few days with excellent humidity recovery below 2,000 feet or so. Fire weather concerns are highest in the thermal belt around 2,000-3,500 feet where higher temperature and lower humidity above the marine layer will persist through the night. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS, WITH POTENTIAL STRONG/ERRATIC WINDS AND ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES AS WELL AS LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS... Temperatures have changed little today with highs between 95 and 105 degrees common inland of the coast. Temperatures will then slowly lower each day, returning to normal by Tuesday. As such the risk for plume dominated fire activity will remain high through Tuesday with mixing heights 12,000 to 17,000 feet today and Monday across the interior, falling slightly by Tuesday. Humidities will remain moderately low, but an influx of monsoonal moisture will keep it elevated compared to the last few days. Thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon through Tuesday over the interior areas (mainly mountains and deserts), but will likely be less expansive each day. The main threats with any thunderstorms will be primarily isolated dry lightning strikes and brief but strong/erratic wind gusts up to around 50 mph. There is a small risk for brief heavy downpours with localized flash flooding over higher elevation today, with a non-zero threat of flash flooding/debris flow concerns including the the Bridge burn scar. The highest threat for localized flash flooding today will be the northern Ventura county mountains, near the Kern County line. Outside of thunderstorms, southwest winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 20 to 30 mph are expected over interior areas each afternoon and evening, with weak Sundowner winds of similar strength each evening. After Tuesday, conditions will likely remain typical for this time of year for the rest of the week. Being the hottest time of the year, seasonably elevated fire weather conditions will persist. $$ ECC028-251630- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 317 PM PDT Sun Aug 24 2025 ...RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS, WITH POTENTIAL STRONG/ERRATIC WINDS AND ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES AS WELL AS LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS...
