.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions will continue into the weekend with a warming 
trend causing afternoon highs to approach 10 degrees above season 
averages on Thursday. Throughout tomorrow, a pattern change will 
shift the prevailing winds out of the northeast, allowing drier 
desert air to push into central California. Minimum RH will fall 
to between 10 and 20 percent for the next few days, with the 
lowest values occurring Thursday. Meanwhile, the winds will 
gradually increase from the northeast, especially the 20 foot and 
surrounding ridge winds. There is a 50 to 60 percent chance for 
wind gusts to exceed 30 mph on Thursday which increases to 90 to 
100 percent on Friday. The combination of dry air and stronger 
winds across the higher elevations of the local area has led to 
the issuance of a Red Flag Warning which includes the Lake 
Isabella area. Winds will gradually subside into the weekend, 
though minRH values will remain at or below 20 percent.
