Carlene feels a whole lot,
lot more like summer than
winter out there. Yeah, it does.
It's too dry. It's too hot.
I really need in my water right now.
Girl me too. I really
wish I had my water bottle right here.
Yeah, we're gonna need to be clenching
those over the next few days.
We're still locked into that heat today.
It was a record heat for downtown.
Could be flirting with record
heat for tomorrow as well.
Current record stands at
86 degrees for downtown.
Also set back.
In 2016 and tomorrow's high looks to be 85.
So just one more degree we
could be tying that record.
Taking a look at what we're
shaping up right now.
We have temperatures that have
pulled away from those 80s as we're
seeing 69 degrees for Oceanside
70s right now for Escondido.
The same for Powell Way,
65 degrees for Ramona 50s across
the mountains and 71 for downtown.
We are still dry and it's gonna stay dry,
especially over the next couple of days.
We're seeing a single digit right now
with relative humidity for Fallbrook.
The same for Alpine.
Also seeing that for Borrego
Springs you have the 20s.
Closer towards the coast.
Carlsbad 21 miles or something
21% as well as 24% for downtown.
Now let's get to mph.
We're seeing that with wind speeds
picking up to 15 mph in Sill Hill
10 right now for Palomar Mountain,
we do have the gusts picking up to
22 mph right now for Sale Hill.
Also,
in those double digits for
Alpine as well as Mount Laguna.
But don't let your guard down because
we are talking about stronger wind
gusts as we go into the overnight hours.
That's gonna pick up later tonight and
continue all the way through tomorrow.
Area of high pressure still at the
surface that's triggering offshore
flow that will continue in our
forecast as well as that Ridge of
high pressure in the upper levels.
So zeroing in on our county we do have
a wind advisory now to talk about.
That is because we're going to have
those wind gusts getting up to about 50 mph.
That's going to start later
on tonight around 8:00 PM.
That's going to take us all the
way until tomorrow afternoon,
and you're talking about winds
out of the northeast,
about 20 to 30 mph gusts up to 50 mph,
so that is also going to add
into more of that dry air.
Why?
Barcelona gonna be clenching or
water bottles for tomorrow as well?
You guys say nice and hydrated
out there and then on top of
that you also have that heat.
So that's leading to elevated
fire weather concerns,
especially as we go into the
afternoon hours when we go ahead
and set the clock in motion,
things recover as we go overnight.
But then with the wind gusts picking up,
you're also talking about this
being around the same time.
Those gusts into the 50s drying us out.
Also daytime highs being reached
around this time and that's why
we're looking at elevated concerns
when it does come to fire weather
and you're noticing it's stretching
more towards
the West. As well,
even getting close towards the coast,
seeing that across downtown just moderate
for downtown more intensified right
along the coastal mountain slopes.
Taking a look at your eight
day microclimate forecast.
As I mentioned, 85 degrees will be
the high tomorrow for the coast.
1 degrees shy of that record.
We actually could end up tying it.
86 degrees looks to be the high
for the inland valleys you're still
holding on to warmer than usual
temperatures into the weekend.
We're just going to get away from
widespread 80s for the coast by this weekend.
There is a slight chance we
could see some shower activity.
More details on that.
Next half hour,
let's go ahead and take a look
at your weather quiz question for
tonight because I'm just dreaming
of cooler times and snow and
rain and all that good stuff.
