URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
240 PM PDT Fri Sep 4 2020

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH 
MONDAY EVENING FOR GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY,
AND VERY HOT TEMPERATURES FOR THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY MOUNTAINS
AND SOUTH COAST...

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING FOR GUSTY NORTH WINDS, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND
VERY HOT TEMPERATURES FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS...

.Strong high pressure will bring a dangerous heat wave and low 
humidities to Southwest California through at least Labor Day. The
very hot and unstable conditions will bring a significant threat 
of large plume dominated fires across the region through Labor 
Day. While winds will generally be light or terrain driven in most
areas, gusty Sundowner winds across southern Santa Barbara county
and gusty northerly winds in the Los Angeles and Ventura counties
(especially near the Interstate 5 corridor) will bring the 
potential for critical fire weather concerns to these areas, 
resulting in the issuance of the Fire Weather Watch. The 
critically dry fuels in these areas will result in a greater 
threat of fire ignitions as well as rapid fire growth. With an 
extremely hot air mass in place, the development of Sundowner 
winds over the weekend will likely push temperatures even hotter 
across the south coast of Santa Barbara County and adjacent 
foothills, where temperatures of 95 to 105 degrees and humidities 
between 8 and 15 percent will be possible in the foothills and 
wind prone coastal areas.
