...RED FLAG WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH STRONG AND DAMAGING
OFFSHORE WINDS...
.A strong and widespread damaging wind event is expected to
impact a large portion of Southwest California tonight through
Wednesday morning, with the peak of the wind event Tuesday into
Tuesday night. Damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph are expected
across portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties during the
peak, as well as the higher elevations of San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara counties. The lowest humidities with this event
are expected to be across coastal and valley areas where downslope
drying will be maximized. There will be an increased risk of fire
ignitions due to downed trees and powerlines, along with the
threat of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior, especially
considering the very dry fuels in place across Southwest
California.
...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO 10 PM
PST TUESDAY FOR STRONG AND DAMAGING NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS AND
MODERATELY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTY COASTS AND VALLEYS AND SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS...
The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a
Red Flag Warning FOR STRONG AND DAMAGING NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS
AND MODERATELY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, which is in effect from 10
PM this evening to 10 PM PST Tuesday. The Fire Weather Watch is no
longer in effect.
* Winds...Northeast winds increasing tonight, peaking Tuesday into
Tuesday evening. During the peak, northeast to east winds 30 to
50 mph with damaging gusts 60 to 75 mph across valley and
foothills areas, as well as the Santa Monicas, and 25 to 45 mph
with damaging gusts of 50 to 65 mph for coastal areas. Strongest
winds across the Ventura county Valleys, San Fernando Valley,
Santa Clarita Valley, and coastal areas from Ventura to Malibu
and the Hollywood Hills. Locally strong winds also expected to
impact portions of the Los Angeles Basin on Tuesday.
* Relative Humidity...12 to 25 percent, increasing to 20 to 30
percent by Tuesday evening.
* Impacts...If fire ignition occurs, conditions will be favorable
for rapid fire spread, long range spotting, and extreme fire
behavior which would threaten life and property. Due to the
strength of the expected winds, there will be an increased
potential for downed trees and powerlines, causing an increased
threat of fire ignitions. In addition, there will be an
increased risk for power outages.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds and low relative humidity can contribute to extreme
fire behavior. Use extreme caution with potential fire ignition
sources.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM PST TUESDAY...
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet with dangerous rip
currents, highest on west-facing beaches. Surf will slowly
subside on Tuesday.

be dangerous rip currents they can pull swimmers and surfers
out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people
off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.

Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay
near occupied lifeguard towers. Stay off rock jetties as they can
be deadly in such conditions when waves break over them.
If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t swim against
the current. If able, swim in a direction following the
shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave
for help.
