***CORRECTED SYNOPSIS***

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DUE TO MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SANTA
ANA WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...

.Moderate to locally strong Santa Ana winds will quickly develop
on Thursday, peak Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon,
then weaken through the weekend. Meanwhile, dry air will settle
over the region and dry out any helpful effects of the recent
rains. The previous Fire Weather Watches were upgraded to Red Flag
Warnings. Some of the windiest areas may see Red Flag conditions
linger into Saturday. As the winds expand Thursday Night into
Friday, Red Flag conditions may form over the interior mountains
of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties on Friday, where a
Fire Weather Watch is now in effect.

Counties.

property.
