   A major offshore wind & fire weather event will develop this week across much of Southern California. Essentially no rain has fallen so far this season in SoCal, and a high-end "atmospheric blowdryer" wind event will greatly increase wildfire risk by Tue/Wed. #CAwx #CAfire [1/3]

     Given combination of strong/damaging wind potential, & vegetation that will approach record-dry levels for early Jan date, "extremely critical" wildfire conditions are possible Tue-Thu. This is definitely one to watch, given magnitude & antecedents. #CAwx #CAfire [3/3]

     An unusual retrograding (westward-moving) low pressure system will move southwest-ward over SoCal, bringing a multi-day stretch of moderate to strong downslope winds. With very strong upper support, strong winds to extend to areas that don't usually see them. #CAwx #CAfire [2/3]
