Clear tonight with Santa Ana conditions through the rest of the week, winds will peak on Thanksgiving Day.
Santa Ana winds will build Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning, peaking on Thanksgiving Day. Northeasterly wind gusts between 20 to 50mph are expected inland to the mountains, with isolated higher gusts in the wind-prone areas getting close to 70mph.
Humidity levels will drop between 5 and 15%, leading to elevated fire danger. Temperatures will rise as the humidity drops Thursday and Friday with temperatures between 5 to 10 degrees above average; caution is recommended with anything that could spark or start a fire.
Thanksgiving Day will be sunny, dry, and warm. 70s for most of the county, low 80s for inland areas, while the mountains will stay chilly in the 50s. Deserts will be breezy in the low 70s.
Santa Ana winds will die down Friday afternoon, with onshore set to strengthen Sunday. We may get a chance for rain Monday and Tuesday. Gusty westerly winds will also accompany this storm and snow in the mountains can't be ruled out.
Storm track will determine rain timing and totals and we will be watching it closely so be sure to stay with the Pinpoint Weather Team.
