Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0128 PM CST Wed Nov 06 2024

Valid 071200Z - 081200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF VENTURA AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...

The previous forecast (see below) remains on track, with no changes
or additions made.

..Squitieri.. 11/06/2024

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0200 AM CST Wed Nov 06 2024/

...Synopsis...
On the backside of a deep/closed midlevel low over the Southwest,
strong deep-layer northerly flow will persist across southern CA --
downstream of an amplified large-scale ridge over the West Coast.
This upper-level pattern will maintain an expansive surface
anticyclone over the Intermountain West, with a related tight
offshore pressure gradient and Santa Ana winds across southern CA.

...Southern California...
While the offshore pressure gradient will be gradually weakening
across southern CA (co*pared to Day 1/Wednesday), LAX-DAG should
still be around -5 mb from Thursday morning through Thursday
afternoon -- a strong indicator of continued critical fire-weather
conditions. High-resolution guidance is in good agreement, depicting
a continuation of 20+ mph sustained northeasterly surface winds
(with gusts upwards of 50 mph) and lower teens to single-digit RH.
The best overlap and longest duration of these conditions is once
again expected across the wind-prone corridor of northern Los
Angeles and southern Ventura Counties, where Critical highlights are
in place.
