210 WWUS86 KLOX 051705 RFWLOX URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 1005 AM PDT Sat Sep 5 2020 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 10 PM MONDAY EVENING FOR THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND SOUTH COAST DUE TO GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND VERY HOT TEMPERATURES... ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH 10 PM MONDAY EVENING FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS DUE TO GUSTY NORTH WINDS, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND VERY HOT TEMPERATURES... .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 during this time. 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 county mountains (especially near the Interstate 5 corridor) will likely bring critical fire weather conditions to these areas, resulting in the issuance of the Red Flag Warning. 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 will likely push temperatures even hotter across the south coast of Santa Barbara County and adjacent foothills, where temperatures of 95 to 107 degrees and humidities between 8 and 15 percent will be likely in the foothills and wind prone coastal areas.

The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a Red Flag Warning for gusty sundowner winds, low relative humidity, and very hot temperatures, which is in effect from 6 PM this evening to 10 PM PDT Monday. The Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect. * Winds...Northwest to north winds 15 to 25 mph with local gusts up to 40 mph tonight, increasing to 15 to 30 mph with local gusts up to 45 mph Sunday night and Monday night. Strongest winds western portions of the Santa Ynez mountains and western canyons and foothills of the Santa Barbara south coast. Winds will diminish during the daytime hours and become onshore each day across the coast and foothills. * Relative Humidity...8 to 15 percent in the mountains, foothills, and wind prone coastal areas. * Temperatures...Max temperatures 90 to 107 degrees each day through Monday, warmest in the foothills, lower mountains, and windy canyons. Hot temperatures into the 90s and lower 100's lingering through the nighttime hours during the sundowner winds. * Impacts...If fire ignition occurs, conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread, long range spotting, and extreme fire behavior which would threaten life and property. In addition to the threat of a wind driven fire, there is a significant threat of large plume dominated fires with extreme fire behavior in areas where winds are lighter. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of gusty winds...low relative humidity...very hot temperatures, and critically dry fuels can contribute to rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior. Use extreme caution with potential fire ignition sources. && $$ CAZ253-254-052300- /O.UPG.KLOX.FW.A.0002.200907T0100Z-200908T0500Z/ /O.NEW.KLOX.FW.W.0003.200907T0100Z-200908T0500Z/ Ventura County Mountains / Los Padres National Forest- Los Angeles County Mountains / Angeles National Forest- 1005 AM PDT Sat Sep 5 2020 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM SUNDAY TO 10 PM PDT MONDAY FOR THE VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS DUE TO GUSTY NORTH WINDS, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND VERY HOT TEMPERATURES...
