Greetings. The previous forecast remains on track for our current offshore wind event.
With the Christmas Holiday fast approaching, here is an extended outlook to hopefully help with your planning.
Temperatures:
* Gradual warming likely Dec 23-26.
* High confidence in above normal temperatures, with a chance of several areas reaching 80 degrees.
* See attached graphic for the range of temperatures that likely contains the correct Christmas Day max temperature.
Humidities:
* 80% chance of humidities into the 10-20% range occurring sometime in the Dec 23-26 window.
Winds:
* 80% chance of N-NE wind gusts at least in the 20-40 mph category in wind prone areas sometime between Dec 23-26.
* 20% chance of gusts in the 40-60 mph category.
* Uncertain if winds will be more northerly (focused over Santa Barbara County and I-5 Corridor) or northeasterly (focused over LA & Ventura Counties and Santa Lucias).
Assessment:
* Red Flag weather conditions possible, but Red Flag Warnings highly unlikely due to recent rains and improving fuel conditions.
* Small potential for localized wind damage.
* Power outages possible.
As a reminder, beginning Saturday Dec 17 we will enter the off-season fire weather schedule (one fire weather planning forecast issued by 330 PM Monday through Friday...and by 930 AM
on Mondays and/or the first day following any federal holiday). However spot forecasts will be available upon request at any time 24/7. In addition, if critical fire weather conditions
occur we will restore normal fire weather season operations.
If you have any questions, please do not respond to this email, but call us at 805-988-6626 (unlisted).
Thank You.
