Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR NORTHERN LOS ANGELES AND SOUTHERN
VENTURA COUNTIES...

...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.
