MARGINALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THE SACRAMENTO AND CAPITAN MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON
- Strong winds aloft and warm afternoon temperatures will allow gusty west and southwest winds to mix down to the surface in the Sacramento Mountain region. We will see winds of 20 to 30 mph with wind gusts to 40 mph this afternoon. These winds combined with very low min RH's near 10% will lead to marginally critical fire weather conditions. Fuels remain dry, around the 90th percentile, along with widespread tree mortality and beetle die back. Later this evening the winds will die off, but overnight RH recoveries will be poor.
