...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM PST TUESDAY...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 12 to 16 feet with dangerous rip
currents. A larger swell will bring higher surf on Monday and
Tuesday with the possibility of surf reaching 15 to 20 feet.
The largest surf will occur across west to northwest facing
beaches.

* WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Central Coast and Santa Barbara
County Central Coast.

* WHEN...Until 10 PM PST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of drowning. There will be
dangerous rip currents they can pull swimmers and surfers out to
sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off
beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay
near occupied lifeguard towers. Stay off rock jetties as they can be
deadly in such conditions when waves break over them.

If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the
current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline.
If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

...FIRE WEATHER WATCHES IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA
BETWEEN MONDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH WIDESPREAD
DAMAGING WINDS LIKELY...

.A strong and widespread damaging wind event is expected to impact
a large portion of Southwest California between Monday night and
Wednesday morning, with the peak of the wind event Tuesday into
Tuesday night. Damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph are expected
across portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, as well as
the higher elevations of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
counties. While humidity levels are generally expected to be
greater than 15 percent, the strength of this wind event coupled
with the very dry fuels in place has warranted the issuance of
this Fire Weather Watch. There will be an increased risk of fire
ignitions due to downed trees and powerlines, along with a threat
of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior.

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR STRONG AND LOCALLY DAMAGING NORTHEAST TO
EAST WINDS AND MODERATELY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR PORTIONS OF
SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES...

The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a
Fire Weather Watch FOR STRONG AND LOCALLY DAMAGING NORTHEAST TO
EAST WINDS AND MODERATELY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, which is in
effect from Monday evening through Wednesday morning.

* Winds...Northeast to east winds 20 to 35 mph with gusts of 35 to
50 mph for the Central Coast and Santa Ynez Valley, strongest in
the foothills. For the mountains, northeast to east winds 30 to
50 mph with damaging wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph likely.
Strongest winds Tuesday into Tuesday night.

* Relative Humidity...Mostly 15 to 30 percent.

* Impacts...If fire ignition occurs, conditions may be favorable
for rapid fire spread, long range spotting, and extreme fire
behavior which would threaten life and property. Due to the
strength of the expected winds, there will be an increased
potential for downed trees and powerlines, causing an increased
threat of fire ignitions. In addition, there will be an
increased risk for power outages.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
Red Flag Warnings. This is the time to get set with assembling
your emergency supply kit and knowing your evacuation route.
