...RED FLAG WARNING HAS EXPIRED FOR THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS...

.WHILE HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAIRLY LOW ACROSS THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING...THEY
ARE EXPECTED TO RISE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS MONSOONAL MOISTURE MOVES
INTO THE REGION. AS A RESULT...THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT OF LONG
DURATION SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES...RESULTING IN THE EXPIRATION OF THE
RED FLAG WARNING.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT EVEN THOUGH RED FLAG THRESHOLDS WILL
NOT BE MET...THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE...WITH WARMEST LOCATIONS EXPECTED TO CLIMB ABOVE 100
DEGREES. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL REMAIN IN THE TEENS ACROSS SOME AREAS
OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING DUE TO SOME WEAK OFFSHORE WINDS...WHICH
WILL REVERSE TO AN ONSHORE DIRECTION IN THE AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...
THERE IS NOW A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING HOURS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES. SINCE MOST OF THE MOISTURE WILL
BE FOCUSED IN THE MID LEVELS...ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY AND ERRATIC DOWNDRAFT WINDS ALONG WITH THE
THREAT OF ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE CRITICALLY
DRY FUELS.

SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
200 PM PDT TUE AUG 25 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE IS MOVING OVER THE REGION PRODUCING A WARMING TREND
THROUGH THE WEEK. WARMEST TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH VERY LOW HUMIDITY. TRIPLE DIGITS WILL BE
COMMON TO THE INLAND AREAS. A WEAKENED ONSHORE FLOW MAY ONLY PRODUCE
SOME OVERNIGHT LOW CLOUDS AND FOG AT PARTS OF THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRIDAY)...
TEMPS UP FOR THE MOST PART TODAY...WHICH KICKS OFF THE WARMING TREND
FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE MARINE LAYER AND STRATUS WILL REMAIN
RAGGED OVER LA/VTU AND SRN SBA CO TONIGHT...AND ALTHOUGH FORECAST
MENTIONS SOME CLOUDS/FOG FORMING NEAR THE BEACHES...MORE LIKELY TO
STAY CLEAR. THE CENTRAL COAST ON THE OTHER HAND SHOULD STILL SEE ONE
MORE NIGHT OF PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE...BUT WILL NOTICE A DECREASE IN
COVERAGE. MAY EVEN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE DENSE FOG VARIETY UP
THERE TONIGHT.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BREWING OVER SRN NEW MEXICO WILL INTENSIFY AND
SLIDE RIGHT OVER SRN CA BY FRI...WHILE ONSHORE GRADS GRADUALLY TURN
WEAKLY OFFSHORE. AS A RESULT...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WILL BE FELT
ACROSS THE REGION TOMORROW...WITH NEAR RECORD TEMPS THU AND
FRI...ESPECIALLY IN THE INLAND AREAS. TRIPLE DIGITS WILL BE THE NORM
IN THE VLYS THU AND FRI...WITH TEMPS UP TO AROUND 106 IN THE HOTTEST
SPOTS. THE COASTAL AREAS WILL NOT FEEL LEFT OUT HOWEVER...AS THE
MARINE LAYER WILL BE ON THE DECLINE. THE COOL STRATUS SHOULD BE WELL
OUT OF THE AREA FOR GOOD BY WED AFTERNOON...EXCEPT FOR POSSIBLY THE
CENTRAL COAST. BEACHES EVERYWHERE WILL BE IN THE 70S AND 80S.

WITH NO MOISTURE SOURCES....HUMIDITIES WILL BE DOWN WITH THE HOT
TEMPS. THIS SHOULD KEEP US FREE OF NEEDING ANY EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNINGS...BUT WILL CREATE A HEIGHTENED FIRE DANGER...ESPECIALLY IN
THE MTNS WHERE A RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT. THANKFULLY
WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE A CONCERN...BUT SOME LOCALLY BREEZY
NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER SLO AND SBA CO WED NIGHT
THROUGH FRI...AS WELL AS THE I5 CORRIDOR. NOTHING CLOSE TO ADVISORY
HOWEVER IS EXPECTED. EVEN WITH THE OFFSHORE GRADS...SOME BREEZY WEST
WINDS WILL ALSO AFFECT THE BEACHES LATE IN THE AFTERNOON THU AND
FRI...THANKS TO THE SIZZLING INLAND TEMPS.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY-TUESDAY)...
SAT WILL REMAIN HOT...BUT SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER AS ONSHORE
GRADS BEGIN TO RECOVER AND THE RIDGE ALOFT STARTS TO BREAK DOWN. THE
BIGGEST COOLING WILL BE FELT SUN AND MON...AS THE TREND CONTINUES
AND THE MARINE LAYER RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS
SHOW ANOTHER RIDGE FORMING OVER ARIZONA FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...WHICH MAY BRING WARMING EVENTUALLY TO THE AREA...BUT STILL A
WAYS OUT THERE TO BE TOO PRECISE IN.

&&

.AVIATION...25/1800Z.

MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EAST AND SOUTH OF THE AREA
WILL BUILD WEST AND NORTH. LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTH AND WEST
MID/UPPER LEVEL WINDS OVER THE AREA WILL PREVAIL. MODERATE ONSHORE
PRESSURE GRADIENT THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME WEAK OFFSHORE LATE
IN THE EVENING AND THEN BECOME WEAK TO MODERATE ONSHORE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. EXTREMELY SHALLOW MARINE LAYER LESS THAN .5KFT WILL
PERSIST.

KLAX...IT IS LIKELY CURRENT SKY/VSBY WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD.

KBUR...VIRTUALLY CERTAIN CURRENT SKY/VSBY WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

VIRTUALLY CERTAIN - 95-100%
VERY LIKELY       - 80-95%
LIKELY            - 60-80%
CHANCE            - 30-60%
VERY UNLIKELY     - 20% OR LESS

...RETURN OF HOT WEATHER FOR MUCH OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA THROUGH
SUNDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO WILL
WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD...AND SLIDE OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BY
FRIDAY. ALONG WITH WEAKENING ONSHORE FLOW...THIS WILL BRING A RETURN
TO HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS OVER MOST OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA. THE
WARMEST TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...WHEN
WIDESPREAD TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED OVER THE INTERIOR
AND VALLEY SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHLAND. TEMPERATURES UP TO AROUND 106
DEGREES ARE EXPECTED IN THE HOTTEST LOCATIONS. A FEW TEMPERATURE
RECORDS COULD BE BROKEN.

SINCE THE ONSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY WEAK WITH THIS
HEAT EVENT...EVEN THE WARMEST INLAND PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN
WILL LIKELY SOAR INTO THE 90S. THE BEST RELIEF WILL BE NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE 70S AND 80S.

THE AIR MASS IS EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY DRY THROUGH THIS WEEK.
ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP HEAT INDEX READINGS FROM REACHING
CRITICAL LEVELS...HUMIDITY READINGS WILL FALL INTO SINGLE DIGITS
OVER THE INTERIOR VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS. THIS WILL BRING HEIGHTENED
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS...ESPECIALLY TO THE MOUNTAIN AREAS WHERE
LITTLE TO NO OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED. SOME SUB-TROPICAL
MOISTURE MAY RETURN TO SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA THIS WEEKEND...WHICH
COULD HELP HUMIDITIES RECOVER ABOVE SINGLE DIGITS.

THE LONG DURATION HEAT EVENT COULD POSE HEALTH HAZARDS FOR ANYONE
OUTDOORS...ESPECIALLY FOR THE ELDERLY...SMALL CHILDREN...AND PETS.
IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUTDOORS...REMEMBER TO REMAIN HYDRATED BY
DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER...WEAR LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING AND A
HAT...AND REMAIN IN THE SHADE OR INDOORS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS IN CARS WITH THE WINDOWS UP OR
CRACKED DURING THE DAY...EVEN FOR A VERY SHORT TIME...AS
TEMPERATURES CAN QUICKLY REACH LETHAL LEVELS.
