Offshore winds, poor relative humidity values, and warm weather continue to result in critical to near critical fire weather conditions across the higher elevations through Saturday. Temperatures begin to cool on Sunday due to a pattern change that is likely to bring unsettled weather to the region early next week. Flow shifts to onshore, RH values improve, and the marine layer tries to re-establish itself. Chances for light rain showers remain in the forecast through early next week. However, chances for wetting rains look to be best over the north Central Coast. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT OVER MOST OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES THROUGH 8 PM PDT SATURDAY FOR MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SANTA ANA WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY DUE TO DRY AND VERY WARM CONDITIONS WITH UNUSUALLY WIDESPREAD GUSTY WINDS... Santa Ana winds have peaked today, with gusts mostly in the 50 to 70 mph range across the LA/Ventura county mountains and foothills, while coastal and valley areas are gusting in the 35 to 55 mph range. For San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara county mountains and Cuyama Valley, east winds have gusted between 30 and 45 mph today. The offshore winds will gradually subside in strength and areal coverage later this afternoon into tonight. By Saturday, offshore winds are expected to be 10 to 15 mph weaker in most areas as computed to today, mainly due to less upper level wind support. Meanwhile, temperatures have climbed to between 90 and 100 degrees for many coastal and valley areas today, with slight cooling expected on Saturday for coastal areas. Minimum humidities will generally lower into the 8 to 20 percent range, with poor overnight recoveries. Cooler and more humid conditions are likely next week. Gusty southwest to northwest winds are expected Sunday and Monday, with light to moderate rain likely sometime Tuesday through Thursday. Coastal flooding issues will improve through the week, but remain elevated with south swells continuing. $$ ECC028-171915- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 609 PM PDT Fri Oct 16 2026 ...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT OVER MOST OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES THROUGH 8 PM PDT SATURDAY FOR MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SANTA ANA WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... ...WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY DUE TO DRY AND VERY WARM CONDITIONS WITH UNUSUALLY WIDESPREAD GUSTY WINDS...
