A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for Tuesday night into Thursday as Santa Ana winds sweep back into the Southern California forecast, according to the National Weather Service.
"Most coasts and valley max temps will range from the upper 60s to the mid 70s," the NWS said in its latest forecast. Due to the dry conditions and winds, fire weather concerns will likely prompt a Fire Weather Watch from Tuesday evening through Thursday afternoon. "Wednesday will bring the peak of the wind with a moderate Santa Ana developing," the NWS added.
"Wind advisories look likely in the typical Santa Ana wind corridor." According to the latest forecast, this will not be a "strong" Santa Ana wind event like the one we experienced last week, which resulted in the Franklin Fire in Malibu.
