Cooler than normal temperatures will continue into the beginning of next week. Winds will remain breezy this afternoon into the early evening however not as strong as we`ve seen the previous couple of days. RH recoveries will improve within the marine layer as it builds higher and moves farther inland. Dry air above the marine layer and farther inland will see MinRH values dip into the 20s and 30s for some higher elevations, and teens in southern Monterey County. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...EXTENDED HEAT WAVE WITH WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH THREAT OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES NEXT TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY (JULY 8-11) ALONG WITH SMALL RISK OF MONSOONAL THUNDERSTORMS... Minor warming and drying expected each day through Monday. Over the interior areas, highs between 88 and 99 will be common, with minimum humidities between 8 and 20 percent today, falling to 5 to 15 percent Sunday into Monday. Southwest to northwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph will be common over the interior valleys and mountains, with isolated gusts up to 40 mph in the Antelope Valley foothills. Sundowner winds of similar strength will form over southwest Santa Barbara County the next few nights. This will result in a seasonably elevated risk for grass fires in the windy locations. Over the coastal areas, the marine layer influence will continue to moderate conditions over the weekend. A significant heat wave will impact the area next week Tuesday through at least Friday. While there remains a range of outcomes in terms of the magnitude of this heat wave, the peak continues to be centered on Wednesday and Thursday (July 9-10), at which time high temperatures between 98 and 108 are looking like the most likely outcome for most lower mountains, valleys (including coastal valleys), and deserts. Deep mixing heights will increase the risk for large plume dominated fires, especially in the mountains. Minimum humidities of 8 to 20 percent are expected in the valleys, mountains, and deserts during the heat wave, with poor humidity recoveries in the mountains. There is also a small chance (10%) of monsoonal thunderstorms over the mountains and deserts, especially towards the end of next week. Southwest to northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph will likely continue over the typically wind prone areas. All of this likely adds up to an elevated to locally brief critical fire weather scenario. While the chance of reaching classic Red Flag Warning criteria remains low, considering recent fire behavior and the high risk for plume dominated fires, if the hotter outcomes play out a Red Flag Warning might be considered. Heat Advisories look certain, with chance for Heat Warnings. $$ ECC028-061045- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 936 AM PDT Sat Jul 5 2025 ...EXTENDED HEAT WAVE WITH WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH THREAT OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES NEXT TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY (JULY 8-11) ALONG WITH SMALL RISK OF MONSOONAL THUNDERSTORMS...
