A wind advisory remains in effect until at least 3 p.m. Saturday in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys as well as the Santa Monica Mountains, according to the National Weather Service .
"Santa Ana wind gusts of 25 to 40 mph with isolated gusts to 50 mph will continue through Saturday, strongest in the valley hills and mountain peaks," NWS forecasters said."Relative humidity will fall into the 5% to 15% percent range ..., with very poor overnight recoveries .... Such an environment will support rapid fire growth and erratic fire behavior.""#SantaAnaWinds in full swing!'' NWS officials noted on social media.
As is typical with Santa Ana winds, the gusts will peak in the late morning and early afternoon, then subside during the evening hours, the NWS said. The combination of gusting winds and low humidity prompted the NWS to issue a red flag warning of critical fire danger that will be in effect through 6 p.m. Saturday. The warning will affect the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, the Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, Calabasas, the San Gabriel Mountains and the 5 and 14 Freeway corridors.Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
