...ENHANCED FIRE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON OVER INLAND AREAS...

THE UNSEASONABLE HEAT OVER THE INLAND AREAS HAS CREATED VERY DRY
CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, RELIEF WILL ARRIVE TONIGHT IN THE FORM OF A COLD
FRONT AND COOLER TEMPERATURES.

THE TEMPERATURE TODAY WILL RISE INTO THE 80S INLAND WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES DIRECTLY ALONG THE COAST. WINDS WILL ALSO START OFF
FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH WITH SOME GUSTS TO 20 MPH.

THESE WARM TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH HUMIDITIES APPROACHING 30
PERCENT MEANS THERE WILL BE AN ENHANCED FIRE THREAT THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, A SEABREEZE WILL SPREAD INLAND THIS AFTERNOON.
ONCE THE SEABREEZE MOVES THROUGH, TEMPERATURES WILL DROP AND
HUMIDITIES WILL INCREASE, THEREBY ALLEVIATING THE ENHANCED FIRE
THREAT.
