####018001362#### FNUS21 KWNS 140752 FWDDY1 Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0152 AM CST Tue Jan 14 2025 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE VENTURA VALLEY TO THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA... ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA... ...Synopsis... A belt of stronger northeasterly mid-level flow will overspread southern California as a 500 mb cut-off low attempts to drift southwest from the coastline today. A localized tightening of the surface pressure gradient is likely during the morning hours, encouraging very strong, dry offshore flow from the Ventura Valley to the Laguna Mountains. Widespread 20-30 mph sustained offshore winds are likely (perhaps with gusts exceeding 50 mph at times) for much of the period, warranting the maintenance of Critical highlights. Similar to yesterday, the best chance for sustained 30-40 mph winds amid 10 percent RH will be from around the Ventura Valley to the San Bernardino Mountains. Here, Extremely Critical highlights remain given the potential for very dangerous wildfire-spread conditions and the potential for extreme fire behavior. ..Squitieri.. 01/14/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
