...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...
...Synopsis...
An amplifying mid-level trough will graze the West Coast today,
resulting in a tightening of the surface pressure gradient across
southern California, where dry offshore flow will continue to
support favorable wildfire-spread conditions. By late afternoon,
widespread 20+ mph sustained winds overlapping with 10-15 percent RH
will be likely across much of the southern California coastline.
Across terrain-favoring areas, localized instances of sustained 40
mph winds (perhaps with higher gusts) and near-single-digit RH are
possible, warranting the maintenance of Critical highlights this
outlook.
