...HIGH RISK FOR EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR WITH ANY NEW FIRE STARTS THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY DUE TO MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SANTA ANA WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... .Moderate to locally strong Santa Ana winds will quickly develop on Thursday, peak Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon, then slowly weaken through the weekend. Meanwhile, dry air will settle over the region and dry out any effects of the recent rains.

Isolated gusts to 65 mph possible. Strongest Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Minimums of 8 to 15 percent common. * IMPACTS...If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable for extreme fire behavior which would threaten life and property.
