Cooler weather settles into the Southland, but fire risks remain

LA Times  

Climber Kevin Fentress belays down the high seaside cliff at Point Dome under overcast skies last month in Malibu. Those winds will transition into an offshore flow, creating in Southern California a “weak to moderate Santa Ana wind event,” said Rose Schoenfeld, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard. She warned Californians to “stay aware of their actions that can reduce fire risk and prepare for some gusty winds.” Winds along the Central Coast and Southern California mountains, deserts and some valleys could range from 30 to 50 mph Thursday through Saturday, the forecast said, with gusts of up to 65 mph possible over the Santa Barbara County mountains, the Interstate 5 corridor and Antelope Valley. The result is likely to be sustained warmer-than-average temperatures, typical Santa Ana wind events and high wildfire potential, the National Weather Service’s San Diego office wrote in a winter outlook. “Fuel moisture in October near record lows due to the prolonged heat stress and minimal monsoon precipitation.” La Niña, the drier component of the El Niño Southern Oscillation system, is still developing in the Pacific Ocean, officials said, but if its conditions align, it could help usher in a shorter and drier winter — and possibly a return to drought.
