Fire Weather Forecast

Humidity has increased with lighter winds, leading to improved conditions for firefighters to gain control. These onshore winds will continue to increase humidity this weekend, before winds shift again into the early work week. That being said, southern California is not out of the woods yet, as we continue to see little to no precipitation in the forecast and another round of dry, offshore winds next week. Monday through Wednesday could see critical fire conditions developing once again.

Be prepared for dangerous fire conditions to return, and remain up to date with the forecast and any issued alerts. In addition, Red Flag Warnings have been reissued for parts of Southern California through Tuesday. LA and Santa Clarita are under Extreme Fire Outlooks by Monday AM, the northern end of the red flag warnings. While the mountains surrounding Los Angeles will have higher wind gusts, some of those could get down into the city.
