001 WWUS86 KMTR 150919 RFWMTR URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 219 AM PDT Sat Aug 15 2020 ...POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING LATE SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY... .Moist unstable air will bring a slight chance for fast moving high based storms with little to no accompanying wetting rains. This air mass will move roughly from south to north beginning in the Central Coast this afternoon/evening before transitioning into the Bay Area overnight into early Sunday. Given dry fuels and hot dry conditions near the surface, dry lightning can directly lead to wildfire starts. Onshore winds near the coast late Saturday may lead to additional complications for any fire starts in proximity to the sea breeze.
