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.
