URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
154 PM PST Fri Jan 17 2025

...HIGH RISK FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS MONDAY THROUGH AT LEAST
TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK FOR MUCH OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTIES...

.A moderate to locally strong Santa Ana Wind event is expected to
develop Monday and last through at least Tuesday. Humidities will
lower drastically at the same time. Along with the extremely dry
fuels, this will create a high risk for critical fire weather
conditions and rapid fire spread with any new fires. A Fire
Weather Watch is an outlook statement for the potential of Red
Flag Warnings several days away. The likely decision on converting
this watch to a Red Flag Warning will be made over the weekend.
With dry conditions lasting through Friday of next week, and
additional rounds of enhanced offshore flow likely, Red Flag
Warnings may be needed beyond Tuesday.
