Combined EditionAlso In the NewsFire and Wind Warnings from the National Weather ServiceEXTENDED HEAT WAVE WITH WIDESPREAD ELEVATED TO BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH THREAT OF LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRES TUESDAY THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY (JULY 8-11) ALONG WITH SMALL RISK OF MONSOONAL THUNDERSTORMS. DISCUSSIONMinor warming and drying expected today through Monday. Over the interior areas, highs between 88 and 99 will be common, with minimum humidities falling to 5 to 15 percent today and Monday. Southwest to northwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph will be common over the interior valleys, mountains, and deserts with isolated gusts up to 40 mph in the Antelope Valley foothills. Sundowner winds of similar strength will form over southwest Santa Barbara County the next few nights. This will result in a seasonably elevated risk for grass fires in the windy locations. Over the coastal areas, the marine layer influence will continue to moderate conditions over the next few days. An extended heat wave will impact the area Tuesday through at least Friday. While there remains a range of outcomes in terms of the magnitude of this heat wave, the peak continues to be centered on Wednesday and Thursday, at which time high temperatures between 98 and 108 are looking like the most likely outcome for most lower mountains, valleys (including coastal valleys), and deserts. Deep mixing heights will increase the risk for large plume dominated fires, especially in the mountains. Minimum humidities of 8 to 20 percent are expected in the interior valleys, mountains, and deserts during the heat wave, with poor humidity recoveries in the mountains. There is also a small chance (5-10%) of monsoonal thunderstorms over the mountains and deserts later in the week. Southwest to northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph will likely continue over the typically wind prone areas this week (especially Highway 14 corridor),with isolated gusts to 40 mph in western Antelope Valley foothills. In addition, there will likely be gusty sundowner winds with warm and dry conditions in southwest Santa Barbara county each evening from Tuesday through Thursday, mainly from Gaviota to San Marcos Pass. These areas could see wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph with isolated gusts to around 40 mph near Gaviota. All of this adds up to widespread elevated to locally brief critical fire weather scenario Tuesday through Friday across the interior and southwest Santa Barbara county. While the chance of reaching classic Red Flag Warning criteria remains low, considering recent fire behavior and the high risk for plume dominated fires, if the hotter outcomes play out a Red Flag Warning might be considered. Heat Advisories look certain, with a small chance for Heat Warnings.

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 2025 VOLUME 19 NO. 27VOLUME 19 NO. 27 WHAT A CELEBRATION - WHEN A COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER! Editors Note: Sierra Madre, California is a town like no other - dnd chances are if you are reading this, you already know that. One of the largest events in Sierra Madre is the old fashioned, fun for young and old, 4th of July Parade. This year was no exception. And by some accounts, the best parade ever with approximately 100 floats, Marching Bands and organizations. The party started on July 3rd and concluded on the 4th with perfect weather. Hats off to the Sierra Madre Events Committee and the City of Sierra Madre for a job well done! Photos by Dirk Bolle unless otherwise noted. Sierra Madre Mayor Robert Parkhurst (left) and Councilmembers Garcia, Goss, Lowe and Kriebs welcome U.S. Congresswoman Judy Chu (center) to the city. Above, Sierra Madre City College's 2025 Entry, "Drop Beer Not Bombs" complete with Stealth Bombers and the American Flag was a real crowd pleaser. Good news: No federal funding required for them to continue their good work!

Other Honorable Mentions: 'I Love My Library' and SMFD Chief Bartlett in a 'tight spot.' More photos on page 2.
