.As surface high pressure builds into the Great Basin, Santa Ana
winds are expected to increase late Monday morning into
afternoon, then peak Monday night into Tuesday. Offshore winds
are expected to diminish some by Wednesday, but very dir will
persist. With the strong likelihood of widespread single digit

duration Red Flag event. In addition, there is the potential for a
high end Red Flag event across some of the windiest areas Monday
night through Tuesday, as localized wind gusts of 55 to 70 mph
could overlap with single digit humidities across the western San
Gabriels, Santa Susanas, western Santa Monicas, Ventura county
valleys, and the hills above Camarillo.
