Weekend Wind Outlook

Enhanced Fire Danger Sunday

Northerly winds will strengthen through the weekend, peaking Saturday with gusts up to around 40 mph. Locally higher gusts are possible. The strongest winds are expected along the coastal headlands and higher terrain. For details on your location, visit http://weather.gov/eka and search for your city.

Stronger north winds will continue into this weekend. On Sunday, the focus of winds will shift to the eastern side of the area. At the same time, drier air moving in will drop RH below 20 percent. Dry air combined with the winds will create enhanced fire weather conditions Sunday into Monday. File fuels and grasses remain relatively green, however, which will limit the high end of fire potential.
