CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. AS A
RESULT...RED FLAG WARNINGS CONTINUE IN EFFECT FOR THE MOUNTAINS
OF SANTA BARBARA...VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES...AS WELL AS

WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS ARE DIMINISHING OVER MOST OF
THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT WINDS TO CONTINUE TO DECREASE
THIS EVENING...BUT INCREASE AGAIN MONDAY MORNING TO BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS. THE LARGER STORY FROM A FIRE WEATHER PERSPECTIVE IS THE
COMBINATION OF VERY LOW HUMIDITIES AND RECORD SETTING HIGH
TEMPERATURES. THE MOUNTAINS AND COASTAL VALLEYS SAW MANY SINGLE
DIGIT HUMIDITY READINGS TODAY. WITH THE UPPER HIGH ENTRENCHED OVER
THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY...EXPECT THAT OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES WILL BE VERY POOR...WITH SINGLE DIGIT RELATIVE

955 AM PST SAT MAR 10 2007

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

...DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...
...POSSIBLE RECORD BREAKING HEAT SUNDAY AND MONDAY...

.SHORT TERM...
UPDATED ZONES JUST TO CLEAN UP ZONES WHERE LOW CLOUDS HAD BURNED OFF.

CURRENT FORECAST ON TRACK. 12Z WRF HAS 00Z BL TEMP OF 17 TODAY 23
TOMORROW AND 25 MONDAY. WRF GRDS SHOW A -4 OFFSHORE PUSH TOMORROW
MORNING AND A -3 MONDAY GRADIENT. MORE IMPORTANTLY 00Z SUNDAY
AFTERNOON GRADS ARE STILL OFFSHORE WHILE BY MONDAY AFTERNOON E/W
GRADS ARE 1 MB ONSHORE. BOTH DAYS ARE GOING TO BE HOT THESE
CONDITIONS USUALLY RESULT IN WIDESPREAD 90S.

OFFSHORE WINDS WILL LAST INTO TUESDAY WITH A MAX OCCURRING SUNDAY
MORNING. STILL UPPER THERMAL SUPPORT IS NOT THERE AND WINDS WILL BE
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA EXCEPT FOR AN ISOLATED GUST OR TWO DIRECTLY
BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS.

...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

UPPER HIGH OFF THE COAST WILL STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND INTO CA
TONIGHT/SUNDAY. AT THE SAME TIME...SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL
DROP INTO THE GREAT BASIN AND BUILD WWD INTO CA. ALTHOUGH UPPER
SUPPORT WILL NOT BE IMPRESSIVE...GRADS SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO CAUSE GUSTY NELY WINDS IN THE MTNS OF L.A./VTU COUNTIES
TONIGHT...SPREADING INTO THE VLYS AND LOCALLY INTO THE CSTL
SXNS OF L.A. COUNTY SUNDAY MORNING. AT THIS POINT...XPCT WINDS TO
REMAIN MOSTLY BELOW ADVISORY LVLS...BUT IT COULD GET CLOSE IN THE
MTNS. WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW...SIGNIFICANT RISES IN HGTS/THICKNESSES
AND SIGNIFICANT WARMING AT 850 AND 950 MB...THERE SHOULD BE
QUITE A WARM UP IN MOST AREAS W OF THE MTNS ON SUNDAY. OFFSHORE
FLOW MAY NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING HUGE WARMING TO ALL
IMDT BEACH AREAS...BUT ACROSS INTERIOR SXNS OF THE CSTL PLAIN AND
IN THE VLYS...XPCT 10 TO 15 DEGREES OF WARMING IN MANY LOCATIONS.
MANY VLY LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY REACH OR EXCEED 90 DEGREES ON
SUNDAY...AND IT COULD GET CLOSE TO 90 ACRS INTERIOR SXNS OF
THE L.A. COUNTY CSTL PLAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES OF
WARMING IN THE MTNS AND DSRTS AS WELL. XPCT SOME RECORD TO
BE TIED OR BROKEN ACRS THE AREA ON SUNDAY.

THE STRONG UPPER HIGH WILL MOVE RIGHT OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY.
LOW LVL GRADS WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE...STRONG ENOUGH FOR GUSTY
WINDS AGAIN IN THE MTNS...VLYS AND SOME CSTL SXNS OF L.A. AND
VTU COUNTIES. IT WILL BE A VERY WARM NIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE
FOOTHILLS AND WHERE IT REMAINS WINDS...WITH TEMPS PROBABLY
STAYING ABOVE 70 IN THOSE AREAS. MODELS SHOW ADDITIONAL WARMING
AT 850 AND 950 MB...SO TEMPS WILL LIKELY WARM UP A FEW MORE DEGREES
IN MOST AREAS...MAKING FOR A VERY ANOMALOUSLY WARM MID MARCH
DAY IN MOST AREAS. WARMER VLY LOCATIONS WILL HAVE TEMPS WELL INTO
THE 90S ON MONDAY. TEMPS ACRS INTERIOR SXNS OF THE CSTL
PLAIN FROM SLO COUNTY THROUGH L.A. COUNTY WILL LIKELY RISE WELL INTO
THE 80S...WITH SOME 90S POSSIBLE ACRS INTERIOR L.A. AND VTU COUNTY
CSTL AREAS. SOME LOCATIONS WILL HAVE HIGHS ABOUT 25 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL ON MONDAY. MANY DAILY RECORDS WILL LIKELY FALL ON MONDAY.

THE COMBINATION OF THE HEAT...VERY DRY CONDITIONS...SOME GUSTY
WINDS...AND THE LACK OF RAIN THIS WINTER WILL LIKELY CAUSE FIRE
WEATHER CONDS TO APCH CRITICAL LVLS IN THE VLYS OF L.A. AND
VTU COUNTIES AND THE SANTA MONICA MTNS SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
AND FIRE WEATHER WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS. IN THE
MTNS OF L.A....VTU AND SBA COUNTIES...THE DRYING WILL START
EARLIER...SO FIRE WEATHER WATCHES BEGIN THIS AFTERNOON AND CONT
THROUGH MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...THE UPPER HIGH WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN TUE AND WED...SO
XPCT GRADUAL COOLING EACH DAY...QUICKEST ACRS THE CSTL PLAIN AS
OFFSHORE GRADS TURN ONSHORE. TEMPS SHOULD STILL REACH 90 IN THE
WARMER VLYS ON TUE...BUT WILL PROBABLY NOT DO SO ON WED. THEN...
XPCT MOSTLY MINOR DAY TO DAY CHANGES IN TEMPS THU AND FRI...
WITH TEMPS GENERALLY WELL ABOVE NORMAL ACRS MOST OF THE AREA.
THERE IS NO THREAT OF RAIN THROUGH AT LEAST FRI.
