…RISK FOR RAPID FIRE GROWTH AND EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR WITH ANY NEW FIRE STARTS TODAY, DUE TO GUSTY SANTA ANA WINDS WITH VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS…
Offshore winds are not as strong or widespread as the past couple of days, but will still create a risk for new fires to have rapid growth in wind prone areas of LA/Ventura counties due to the very warm and dry conditions. By this afternoon, offshore winds may weaken sufficiently to allow some Red Flag Warning areas to be cancelled early.
* AFFECTED AREA…Santa Clarita Valley, Ventura County Beaches, Ventura County Inland Coast, Lake Casitas, Ojai Valley, Central Ventura County Valleys, Malibu Coast, Calabasas and Agoura Hills, Western San Fernando Valley, Eastern San Fernando Valley, Southeastern Ventura County Valleys and Los Angeles County San Gabriel Valley.
* TIMING…Until 8 PM PDT this evening.
* WINDS…Northeast to east 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 30 to 40 mph, gradually diminishing in the afternoon. Strongest winds in Ventura county and eastern San Gabriel Valley foothills.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY…Minimums of 10 to 20 percent common.
* IMPACTS…If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable for extreme fire behavior which would threaten life and property. A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. Use extreme caution with anything that can spark a wildfire. Residents near wildland interfaces should be prepared to evacuate if a wildfire breaks out. See readyforwildfire.org and wildfirerisk.org for information.
