Northerly winds will shift and become northeasterly Santa Ana winds on Monday morning
Strong, potentially damaging winds are expected across the Southern California mountains from Sunday afternoon through midday Monday or into Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. Winds in the local mountains, including the higher peaks of the Santa Monica Mountains, may gust in excess of 60 to 65 mph.
Elevated fire weather conditions are possible, although red flag warnings are unlikely because fuel moisture is high after recent storms. Winds will shift and become traditional northeasterly Santa Ana winds on Monday morning, when they will begin to diminish in Santa Barbara County. Winds are likely to gust to about 50 mph in the mountains of L.A. and Ventura counties, and 30 to 40 mph in the valleys. Relative humidity will drop to about 10% to 20%.
