A Red Flag Warning is in effect for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties through Saturday for strong northeast winds and low relative humidity.
An extended moderate to strong Santa Ana wind event will continue over much of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties through at Sunday.
The winds today are slow to increase but will peak this afternoon with gusts of 45 to 70 mph. The winds
will then gradually weaken Friday through Saturday. Meanwhile, minimum humidities of 5 to 10 percent will be common through at least early next week, with widespread very poor overnight recoveries staying under 30 percent.
As a result, critical Red Flag conditions will persist over most of Los Angeles and Ventura through Saturday, and possibly through Sunday as the winds might increase some from Sunday. East winds will also affect the Santa Barbara Mountains and foothills which will result in critical conditions.
There is a chance that offshore flow and critical conditions will continue through the middle of next week, with a possible slight increase in winds Sunday through Tuesday.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:
Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are expected.
A combination of gusty winds and low relative humidity can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Use extreme caution when using potential fire ignition sources.
This is a dangerous situation, please follow evacuation orders.
