National Weather Service in San Diego
By News Team
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
The National Weather Service in San Diego has issued a Fire Weather Watch, which is in effect from late tonight through Thursday afternoon.
Very dry air will move across southwest California following the passage of a strong cold front late tonight and early Wednesday morning. Relative humidity is forecast to drop to or below 15 percent by early Wednesday morning. Winds will shift to a north to northeast direction and remain near 25 mph with gusts 45 mph or higher.
This combination of very low humidity and gusty north to northeast winds is forecast to persist into early Thursday afternoon, especially through and below the passes and canyons. The very dry air is likely to linger through Friday.
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible red flag warnings.
