MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE COUNTY
WARNING AREA TODAY.  SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE GREAT
BASIN THROUGH FRIDAY WHICH WILL COUPLE WITH LOWER PRESSURE OFFSHORE
AND BRING STRONG WINDS... INCREASING TEMPERATURES... AND DRY
HUMIDITIES TO MUCH OF THE REGION.  AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
BUILDS... INITIALLY THE ELEVATED WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST TO
NORTHERLY DIRECTION AND IMPACT THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY AND
INTERIOR/COASTAL VENTURA COUNTY LOCATIONS MOST.  WIND SPEEDS ALONG
THE SANTA YNEZ MOUNTAINS IN PARTICULAR... SUCH AS NEAR MONTECITO...
WILL PEAK TONIGHT.  AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO A MORE NORTHEASTERLY
DIRECTION THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FELT IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES INCLUDING THE SANTA MONICA
MOUNTAINS... AND IN THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY.  WIND SPEEDS WILL BE
IN THE 20-30 MPH TO 30-40 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS 40-50 MPH IN THESE
AREAS INTO THURSDAY EVENING WHICH WILL BE COVERED BY WIND ADVISORIES
THROUGHOUT THE REGION.

THE STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT ON THURSDAY WILL RESULT IN THE
NORTHEAST WINDS INCREASING TO HIGH WIND CRITERIA LATE THURSDAY AND
THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED EARLY ON FRIDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES INCLUDING THE SANTA MONICA
MOUNTAINS... AND IN THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY.  WIND SPEEDS WILL BE
IN THE 25-35 MPH TO 30-40 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS 60-65 MPH IN THESE
AREAS WITH SOME OF THE STRONGEST WIND GUSTS FELT IN THE INTERSTATE 5
AND HIGHWAY 14 CORRIDORS.  THERE IS MARGINAL UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR
THE HIGH WINDS AND A RELATIVELY WEAK COLD AIRMASS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE HIGH PRESSURE SO CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT WINDS WILL NOT
BE MUCH HIGHER THAN THESE LEVELS.  WINDS MAY BECOME ELEVATED AGAIN
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING BUT THESE WOULD AT BEST BE AT ADVISORY LEVEL.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM THROUGH THE WEEK AND MANY
LOCATIONS WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AT
THE PEAK OF THE HIGH WIND EVENT DUE TO THE COMPRESSIONAL WARMING OF
THE WINDS.  THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND DRY SOURCE REGION FOR THE
WINDS OF THE GREAT BASIN WILL BRING AN EXCEPTIONALLY DRY AIRMASS TO
THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL KEEP THE MARINE LAYER WELL
OFF THE COAST.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND OFFSHORE WINDS WILL WEAKEN BY SATURDAY
THOUGH REGIONAL CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN WARM AND DRY FOR THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...
A RIDGE PUSHES TO BUILD INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE
NEXT WORK WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES SETTLING NEAR NORMAL AND SKIES
REMAINING MOSTLY CLEAR.

.AVIATION...24/1800Z.

MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NEVADA WILL
SHIFT EAST WHILE A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE UPSTREAM APPROACHES THE
AREA. UPPER LEVEL MODERATE TO STRONG WEST SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
BECOME MODERATE WEST NORTHWEST AFTER 25/12Z WHILE MID LEVEL MODERATE
WEST WINDS BECOME MODERATE NORTHWEST AFTER 25/03Z AND MODERATE NORTH
BY 26/00Z. WEAK ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT THROUGH 25/02Z AND AFTER
25/20Z OTHERWISE MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT.
FREEZING LEVEL RANGED FROM 8.1KFT OVER THE NORTH HALF OF THE AREA TO
14KFT OVER THE SOUTH HALF. FREEZING LEVEL WILL DIFFER BY PLUS 4KFT
AFTER 25/00Z OVER THE NORTH HALF AND LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED SOUTH
HALF.

KLAX...CHANCE LOW LEVEL WINDS ABOVE 1.5KFT 35030KT BETWEEN
25/04-25/17Z. OTHERWISE CURRENT SKY/VSBY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST.

KBUR...CHANCE LOW LEVEL WINDS ABOVE 1.5KFT 35030KT BETWEEN

.FIRE...GUSTY NORTHERLY WIND EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND
AREAL INTENSITY FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THE
STRONGEST NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE FOCUSED ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 5
CORRIDOR IN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND SANTA YNEZ
RANGE...WITH GUSTS IN THE 40 TO 50 MPH RANGE. THE NORTHERLY WINDS
ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY...SAN FERNANDO
VALLEY...AND SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS...WITH GUSTS IN THE 30 TO 40 MPH
RANGE. HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15
PERCENT...WITH SOME PORTIONS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY BRIEFLY LOWERING
INTO SINGLE DIGITS. AS A RESULT...BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR PORTIONS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY AS
WELL AS THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE...HOWEVER DURATIONS ARE NOT
SUFFICIENTLY LONG TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING AT THIS TIME.

THE GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL HELP TO PRIME THE ALREADY DRY FUELS
ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST BY
THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH THE STRONGEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD SANTA ANA
WIND EVENT EXPECTED SO FAR THIS SEASON. FIRE WEATHER WATCHES HAVE
ALREADY BEEN POSTED FOR MUCH OF VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES FROM
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL
LIKELY OCCUR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES...WHEN GUSTS IN THE 50 TO 60 MPH
RANGE WILL BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...OFFSHORE WINDS GUSTING TO BETWEEN
40 AND 50 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS AS
WELL. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN 10 AND 20 PERCENT
FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...THEN LOWER TO
BETWEEN 5 AND 10 PERCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE WATCH AREA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING. IF FIRE IGNITION OCCURS...THIS SANTA
ANA WIND EVENT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING RAPID SPREAD OF
WILDFIRE DUE TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND CRITICALLY DRY
FUELS.
