LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS...

HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS PERSIST IN THE HILLS ABOVE 1000 FEET. ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE 90S TO 110 WHILE
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WERE BELOW 20 PERCENT IN MANY LOCATIONS AND IN
SOME CASES BELOW 10 PERCENT. WINDS WERE GENERALLY FROM THE WEST AT
LESS THAN 15 MPH...BUT WERE GUSTING AS HIGH AS 25 MPH IN THE EAST
BAY HILLS. VERY POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE 1500 FEET. IN ADDITION...
LOCALLY GUSTY WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING.
WINDS WILL POSSIBLY TURN TO THE NORTHEAST AND INCREASE IN THE
NORTH BAY MOUNTAINS LATER TONIGHT.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE ON FRIDAY. ALSO...THE MARINE LAYER
WILL DEEPEN...ALLOWING COOLER...MORE MOIST AIR TO GRADUALLY MAKE ITS
WAY TO HIGHER ELEVATIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 

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...AND WARM TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE
EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL.

FIRE WEATHER INTERESTS SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM SANTA CRUZ AND SANTA CLARA COUNTY
SOUTHWARD THIS WEEKEND...MAINLY ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. IF
THUNDERSTORMS DO DEVELOP...THEY WILL LIKELY PRODUCE DRY LIGHTNING.

...SOME COOLING AND HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL REDUCE EXTREME FIRE
THREAT...

.A GOOD PUSH OF MARINE AIR AND COOLING ALOFT HAS ALLOWED SOME
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES OVER NIGHT. THE MARINE LAYER HAS LIFTED TO
1600 FT AND HUMIDITIES AT ELEVATIONS BELOW 2500 FT HAVE RISEN
INTO THE 50 TO 60 PERCENT RANGE IN MANY LOCATIONS OF THE NORTH AND

THE RED FLAG WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 5 AM PDT EARLY THIS MORNING. 

SOME HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AND COOLING TEMPERATURES ARE ALLOWING
SOME RELIEF FROM THE CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS SEEN OVER THE PAST
FEW DAYS. ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VERY WARM AND DRY OVER
THE AREA OF THE BASIN FIRE IN MONTEREY COUNTY THE WIDESPREAD HOT
AND DRY CONDITIONS HAVE DIMINISHED. WINDS ARE ALSO MOSTLY LIGHT AND
VARIABLE. THEREFORE THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE INTERIOR HIGHER

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA CA
1012 AM PDT MON JUL 7 2008

.DISCUSSION...AS OF 9:45 AM PDT MONDAY...WHAT A DIFFERENCE 24 HOURS
MAKES.  THE WIDESPREAD STRATUS NOTED YESTERDAY IS PRETTY MUCH GONE...
EXCEPT LOCATIONS SOUTH OF SANTA CRUZ. THE N-S GRADIENT WAS ABOUT 6MB
AND THAT DEFINITELY HELPED TO SCOUR OUT THE STRATUS SF BAY AND
NORTHWARD.  FURTHER SOUTH...THE FT ORD PROFILER HAS THE MARINE LAYER
UNDER 1000 FT...WHICH IS NOT TO SURPRISING SINCE HIGH PRESSURE IS
BUILDING OVERHEAD.  IN FACT...WITH THE COMPRESSED MARINE LAYER THIS
MORNING DENSE FOG FORMED AROUND THE MRY BAY.  ATTM IT
APPEARS TO BE BURNING OFF AND THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT
HOUR. OTHERWISE...MORE SUNSHINE SHOULD BE SEEN TODAY ACROSS THE CWA
WITH BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AND WARMING TEMPERATURES ALOFT.
HOWEVER...STILL EXPECT HAZY TO PARTLY SMOKEY CONDITIONS WITH ALL OF
THE NEARBY FIRE ACTIVITY.

THE REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK REGARDING THE UPCOMING HEAT
WAVE.  THE PEAK OF THE HEAT WAVE STILL APPEARS TO BE WED AND THUR
AS THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES ALOFT OCCUR ON BOTH OF THOSE DAYS.  NOT
TO SURPRISING...INLAND LOCATIONS WILL EXCEED 100 DEGREES. THE REAL
DIFFICULT AREA WILL BE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND HOW WARM THEY
GET. WILL TRY TO FINE TUNE WITH THE AFTERNOON FORECAST...BUT THEY
LOOK WARM EITHER WAY. NO UPDATES ARE PLANNED THIS MORNING.

PREV HEAT WAVE DISC....
MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE TEMPERATURES NEAR
THE COAST. THE NAM KEEPS THE SURFACE FLOW LIGHT ONSHORE. THE GFS
DEVELOPS LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW DURING THE NIGHT AND MORNING HOURS AS
THE SURFACE TROUGH SHIFTS SLIGHTLY OFFSHORE...BUT TURNS THE FLOW WEAK
ONSHORE IN THE AFTERNOONS WHICH SHOULD KEEP COASTAL AREAS FROM
GETTING HOT. IF THE GFS IS CORRECT AND LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW MANAGES TO
PERSIST THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
RAPIDLY NEAR THE OCEAN AND WE COULD EASILY SEE 80S AND EVEN LOWER 90S
IN THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR SAN
FRANCISCO IN ADDITION TO THE INLAND AREAS. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH
WILL TRANSITION TO EITHER A HEAT ADVISORY OR EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
(LIKELY AN ADVISORY) SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 12-24 HOURS. WILL NEED TO
CONSIDER HEAT ADVISORIES FOR OTHER COASTAL AREAS BESIDES SAN
FRANCISCO IF IT APPEARS THAT OFFSHORE FLOW MAY BE MORE PREVALENT THAN
ANTICIPATED.

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF 10:15 AM PDT MONDAY...A DRY AIRMASS IS IN PLACE
OVER THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA SO EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL
THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. WINDS WILL BECOME ON SHORE THIS
AFTERNOON AT 15 TO 20 KT WITH GUSTS TO 28 KT AT SFO. SHOULD SEE OFF
SHORE FLOW TONIGHT SO DONT EXPECT A RETURN OF STRATUS.

CENTRAL COAST TERMINALS... VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGE SHOWING STRATUS
RAPIDLY DETERIORATING IN MONTEREY BAY. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
THIS EVENING WITH A SHALLOW LAYER OF STRATUS RETURNING BY
MIDNIGHT. STRATUS SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE WITH
MRY SEEING REDUCED VISIBILITIES. WINDS WILL FOLLOW A GENERAL
DIURNAL CYCLE BECOMING ONSHORE THIS AFTERNOON AT 5 TO 10 KT BECOMING
LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH BY MIDNIGHT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...AS OF 4:10 AM PDT MONDAY...WARMING UNDER THE
BUILDING UPPER RIDGE IS KEEPING HUMIDITIES FROM RECOVERING VERY MUCH
IN THE HILLS THIS MORNING. EARLY MORNING RH VALUES ABOVE 1000 FEET
ARE ONLY ABOUT 35 TO 45 PERCENT. WINDS ARE MOSTLY LIGHT...BUT ARE
GUSTING CLOSE TO 20 MPH FROM THE NORTH-NORTHWEST ACROSS SOME OF THE
HIGHER RIDGES IN THE N AND E BAY. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
GRADUALLY WORSEN OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS AS STILL WARMER AND
DRIER CONDITIONS DEVELOP. DAYTIME RH VALUES WILL BE IN THE 5 TO 15
PERCENT RANGE AND NIGHTTIME RH RECOVERIES IN THE HILLS STARTING
TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED
TO BE VERY POOR...PROBABLY NO HIGHER THAN 20 PERCENT. THE GREATEST
CONCERN WILL BE WINDS OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE IN ADDITION TO THE HOT AND
VERY DRY CONDITIONS. MODELS ARE FLUCTUATING SOMEWHAT IN FORECASTING
BOTH THE STRENGTH AND DIRECTION OF WINDS IN THE HILLS THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. BUT IT APPEARS THAT WINDS WILL INCREASE IN THE HILLS
LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. WIND SPEED OF 15 TO 20 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS SOME OF THE WINDIER RIDGETOPS WHICH WILL BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FIRE WEATHER WATCH GIVEN THE VERY POOR RH
RECOVERIES. WILL CONTINUE WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE NORTH AND EAST BAY
HILLS AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES
(INCLUDING THE BASIN COMPLEX FIRE). LATEST MODEL OUTPUT NOW FORECASTS
LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING.
THUS...THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED THROUGH MIDDAY
THURSDAY. GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT IS FORECAST FOR LATE IN THE WEEK AND
INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS.
