...Discussion from SFOFWFMTR...

A building ridge of high pressure is compressing the marine layer
and bringing warmer and drier conditions to inland  areas and
elevations above 1,500 feet. The 24 hour RH change is  anywhere from
10-30% drier in these areas. Winds are moderate and  onshore this
afternoon, but an increasing offshore gradient will  take over
tonight. Offshore NE winds are expected across the  interior North
Bay and East Bay mountains Friday night through  Saturday morning.
The ridge axis will move over the region  Saturday, bringing still
warmer and drier conditions, although the winds should flip back to
onshore. Cooler weather returns Sunday and Monday before a more
substantial warming trend through the middle of next week.


...Discussion from SFOFWFEKA...

Fire weather conditions will be moderate with weak terrain winds,
moderate RH and good overnight recoveries.  Conditions will
significantly warm and dry this weekend with much  more restricted
marine influence. By Sunday, interior highs will return to the 90s
with minimum RH in the teens.
