Northern California. Warm and dry conditions are expected again today, but cooler and more humid conditions are expected during the upcoming week. Smoke from active fires in Northern California will likely lift up into the south to southwest general winds earlier today than yesterday and drift to the north and northeast. There is a possibility of isolated dry lightning late Tuesday and Wednesday. Strong high pressure over Southern California will bring above normal temperatures through Friday. Southeast flow aloft will bring isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly in the mountains and deserts of Southern California east of the Cajon Pass Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. Some left over moisture may continue to cause isolated afternoon thunderstorms over the higher terrain. The large fire threat will become elevated due to hot and dry conditions. Fuels are extremely dry and will be very susceptible to new ignitions.CAL FIRE recommends that all residents be prepared for wildfire by remembering “Ready, Set, Go!” Put together an emergency supply kit long before a wildfire and keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate. Plan to be away from your home for an extended period of time. Backpacks work great for storing these items (except food and water) and are quick to grab. Storing food and water in a tub or chest on wheels will make it easier to transport. Keep it light enough to be able to lift it into your car.
