...Synopsis...
Localized elevated conditions are anticipated Saturday morning
through early afternoon across parts of coastal southern CA and the
northwestern Sacramento Valley. The upper-level trough currently
deepening over the Great Basin is expected to begin occluding by
early Saturday over the Southwest. Elevated fire weather conditions
will likely be ongoing within the higher terrain of the southern CA
coast at the start of the period, but will beco*e increasingly
localized through the day as low to mid-level winds abate with the
weakening synoptic low. Elevated conditions may linger into the late
afternoon between the San Gabriel and Sierra Madre ranges where gap
winds around 15 mph should coincide with 10-20% RH values around
peak heating. Further north, northerly down-valley winds are
expected to persist through the northern Sacramento Valley. However,
as with areas further south, a general weakening of the regional
pressure gradient should yield diminishing winds through the
afternoon, with more localized elevated fire weather conditions as a
result.
