Red flag warnings are in place for Southern California due to Santa Ana winds that will bring gusts up to 65 mph and “extremely rare and dangerous” fire weather conditions. Red flag warnings are in place Monday from 10 a.m. through Wednesday 6 p.m. local time for the San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Monica Mountains, Santa Clarita Valley, Ventura County coasts and valleys and western San Fernando Valley, the National Weather Service office in Los Angeles said.
Santa Ana winds are forecast to increase late Monday morning into the afternoon and peak Monday night into Tuesday, the NWS said. Offshore winds will diminish a bit by Wednesday. It’s expected be a long duration red flag event due to the “strong likelihood of widespread single digit humidities,” the Sunday evening advisory said. With the threat of damaging wind gusts, there will be an increased risk for downed trees and power lines as well as power outages.
