Near to slightly above normal temperatures and dry conditions are expected above the marine layer through the weekend. A compressed marine layer will continue to support poor minimum daytime relative humidity in the afternoons across the interior with little to no recovery at night in the higher terrain. Relatively speaking, the Bay Area will remain cooler with a deeper marine layer and the Central Coast will remain hotter with a shallower marine layer. Diurnal sea breeze is expected in the afternoons and evenings. Cool and moist conditions can be expected along the coast with morning and evening clouds bringing a chance for drizzle. Similar conditions on tap into next week. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES, PEAKING TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO HOTTER TEMPERATURES... ...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS... Moderately hot and dry conditions will continue through Sunday with Temperatures between 95 and 105 be common over most valleys, mountains, and deserts. These temperatures will likely bump up slightly from Monday through Thursday, especially across the valleys and interior coastal plain as weak offshore pressure trends are likely to develop. This will likely translate into expansion of elevated fire weather conditions over these areas. Minimum humidities will lower to between 10 and 25 percent each day away from the coast, driest next week. Meanwhile, mixing heights will likely range between 10,000 and 17,000 feet across the interior each afternoon, which will maintain the threat for large plume dominated fires. Gusty sundowner winds will likely affect southwest Santa Barbara County the next several evenings, potentially becoming slightly stronger/widespread with hotter/drier conditions by Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. This will likely bring brief critical fire weather conditions to Southern Santa Barbara county Tuesday evening into Wednesday evening, with a 20-30 percent chance of Red Flag durations during this time. $$ ECC028-231045- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 935 AM PDT Sat Aug 22 2026 ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH INCREASED RISK OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES, PEAKING TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO HOTTER TEMPERATURES... ...ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY DURING LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS WITH WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS...
