Archived official description
...HIGH RISK FOR EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR WITH ANY NEW FIRE STARTS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DUE TO MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SANTA ANA WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... .Moderate to locally strong Santa Ana winds will quickly develop on Thursday, peak Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon, then weaken through the weekend. Meanwhile, dry air will settle over the region and dry out any helpful effects of the recent rains. Fire weather watches are now in effect, which will likely be upgraded to Red Flag Warnings by Wednesday. Some areas may see Red Flag conditions linger into Saturday. Interior Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties may also see Red Flag conditions on Friday, and a Fire Weather Watch is being considered. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a Fire Weather Watch for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect from Thursday morning through Friday evening. * WINDS...Northeast winds 20 to 40 mph with gusts of 50 to 70 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Minimums of 8 to 20 percent common. * IMPACTS...If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable for extreme fire behavior which would threaten life and property.
