…RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM TODAY TO 5 AM PDT SUNDAY FOR STRONG TO DAMAGING NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR THE I-5 CORRIDOR, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY INTERIOR MOUNTAINS, VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS, AND ANTELOPE VALLEY INCLUDING WESTERN FOOTHILLS…
…FIRE WEATHER WATCH CANCELLED FOR EASTERN SANTA YNEZ MOUNTAINS BUT BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE TONIGHT…
.An unseasonably strong upper level trough of low pressure will move through the region today through tonight. Strong and locally damaging wind gusts of 50 to 65 mph are expected to be most focused this afternoon into tonight across the Santa Barbara County interior mountains, Ventura County mountains, I-5 corridor, and Antelope Valley including the western foothills. These stronger winds combined with humidities lowering to between 10 and 25 percent will likely bring critical fire weather conditions to these areas, resulting in the Red Flag Warning valid this afternoon into tonight. While locally stronger winds are still expected to surface across portions of the eastern Santa Ynez range tonight, it no longer appears they will have a sufficient duration of strong wind/low humidity overlap, resulting in the cancellation of the Fire Weather Watch for this area, and just including them with brief critical headlines. Areas in a Red Flag Warning this afternoon through tonight will have the highest risk for rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior, with the threat of long range spotting.
* WINDS…Northwest to north 25 to 40 mph with damaging gusts of 50 to 65 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY…Areas of humidity 10 to 25 percent, gradually rising late tonight.
* IMPACTS…If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable for extreme fire behavior, rapid fire growth, and long range spotting, which could threaten life and property. A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. Use extreme caution with anything that can spark a wildfire. Residents near interfaces should be prepared to evacuate if a wildfire breaks out. See readyforwildfire.org and wildfirerisk.org for information.
