926 AM PST WED NOV 25 2009
 ...GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS AND VERY LOW HUMIDITIES TO CONTINUE THROUGH 
 THANKSGIVING DAY...
 ...POTENTIAL FOR STRONGER OFFSHORE WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS SUNDAY
 INTO MONDAY...
 SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE WEAK TO MODERATE
 OFFSHORE WINDS...WARM TEMPERATURES...AND VERY LOW HUMIDITIES THROUGH
 THANKSGIVING DAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS TODAY WILL AFFECT THE MOUNTAIN
 PASSES AND CANYONS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES... WHERE WIND
 GUSTS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. GUSTY NORTHEAST
 WINDS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING... BUT ARE
 EXPECTED TO BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER THAN TODAY. OFFSHORE WINDS ARE
 EXPECTED TO DIMINISH CONSIDERABLY BY LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
 TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S ACROSS MANY
 COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS TODAY AND THURDAY...WITH LONG DURATIONS OF
 SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES EACH DAY. IN ADDITION...HUMIDITY RECOVERIES
 WILL REMAIN QUITE POOR OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE
 FOOTHILLS...MOUNTAINS... AND AREAS EXPOSED TO WINDS. AFTER
 COORDINATION WITH LOCAL AGENCIES... A RED FLAG WARNING HAS NOT BEEN
 ISSUED DUE TO LIVE FUEL MOISTURES BEING ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS.
 HOWEVER...DEAD FUEL MOISTURES ARE EXTREMELY LOW AND BECAUSE OF THIS
 THERE IS STILL A VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER. 
 A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
 ON FRIDAY BRINGING A RETURN OF ONSHORE FLOW...COOLER TEMPERATURES...
 AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES TO THE REGION. THIS COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
 HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON SATURDAY. AT
 THIS TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE
 ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...BUT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS MAY NEED TO BE
 ADDED TO OTHER AREAS AS WE DRAW CLOSER TO THE EVENT. BEHIND THIS
 SYSTEM...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONGER AND MORE WIDESPREAD
 OFFSHORE WIND EVENT SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THIS OFFSHORE WIND EVENT IS
 EXPECTED TO BE SOMEWHAT COOLER THAN THIS CURRENT EVENT...BUT HAS THE
 POTENTIAL TO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF DRY AIR INTO THE REGION. THE
 HUMIDITY AND WIND COMPONENT OF THE RED FLAG WARNING SYSTEM COULD BE
 MET FOR THE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY EVENT...HOWEVER ANY ISSUANCES OF
 WATCHES OR WARNINGS WILL REQUIRE COORDINATION WITH AGENCIES ON FUEL
 CONDITIONS.
