Valid 241200Z - 251200Z

...Synopsis...
The cut-off low off Baja California will slide southward as an
upper-level shortwave trough moves into the Pacific Northwest and
northern Rockies. A strong jet will nose into northern California as
a cold front pushes southward across the Pacific Northwest into
California and the Great Basin.

Elevated/locally critical conditions are likely to develop Sunday
night across portions of the Coast Ranges and western Sacramento
Valley in northern California. A strong, dry cold front will push
southward across northern California during Sunday evening and
overnight. While cooler temperatures (40-50 F) are expected, strong
northwest winds (15-30 mph) and dry air (RH of 5-25%) above the
surface inversion will result in elevated to locally critical
conditions generally above 1000-1500 feet. Some of these conditions
may also mix to the surface in far western portions of the
Sacramento Valley. While fuel conditions have moderated somewhat
with recent precipitation and cooler temperatures/higher RH, there
is still enough potential to support ignition/spread.

Locally elevated meteorological conditions may develop across
portions of southwest California into Sunday afternoon/evening.
However, ERCs have dropped to near/below normal in southern
California after recent precipitation and forecast minimum RH values
of 15-30% preclude an elevated area at this time.
