Our strong Santa Ana wind event peaked a little earlier this morning than anticipated, but speeds have been as advertised with many gusts of 60-70 mph continuing in the foothills and mountains of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties (LAX-DAG gradient peaked at -8 mb). Widespread northeast gusts of 35-50 mph continue across most valleys and coasts this morning. Humidities crept up slightly overnight due to colder air moving into the district and remain mostly in the 9-15 percent range, but are expected to drop into the single digits through the afternoon. Damaging wind speeds are expected to decrease this afternoon, however, the offshore flow will continue through Saturday. Red flag warnings will remain in place as scheduled due to very dry air and lingering east to northeast gusts 25-45 mph across mountains, valleys, and coasts tonight and Friday. Poor overnight recoveries are expected tonight and Friday night with widespread single digit minimum humidities during the day. Expect Santa Lucia Mountain wind gusts of 30-45 mph through canyons of the San Luis Obispo coastal hills late tonight and Friday morning with brief critical fire weather conditions as humidities drop into the teens. The prolonged period of offshore flow will continue to bring elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions at times across much of Southwest California Sunday and Monday. Some humidity increase is expected on these days, however, another Santa Ana may develop late Monday through Tuesday with the potential for additional critical fire weather conditions across the district. ...Discussion from Monterey... Some high clouds today but temperatures remain mild in the 60s and lower 70s. Light offshore winds persist in the hills that will keep the humidity values seasonably dry. No big changes in the weather through Saturday. A weak front passes to our north Saturday night into Sunday bringing some brief onshore winds and higher humidity. As that weather system moves into the Great Basin it will set up some offshore winds late Sunday night into Monday. At this time a widespread moderate offshore wind event looks likely across most of the Bay Area hills on Monday but humidity values should remain moderate. However the latest fuels analysis shows readings at or near record dry levels for early December. Another offshore wind event is possible around next Thursday. Long range forecasts remain dry through the middle of the month. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. $$ ECC028-041130- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 916 AM PST Thu Dec 3 2020 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM PST FRIDAY FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY VALLEYS AND COASTS DUE TO GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM PST SATURDAY FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA THROUGH WEDNESDAY DUE TO PERIODS OF GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES...
