ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT SANTA ANA WIND EVENT BEGINNING TUESDAY:

A “particularly dangerous situation” (PDS) red flag warning has been issued by the NWS in Los Angeles beginning early Tuesday through Wednesday afternoon, the exact warning they issued this past Monday preceding the ongoing wildfire outbreak.

The potential for destructive wind gusts of 75-80 mph will return overnight Tuesday and, with the already very low relative humidities in place, will continue to promote extremely critical fire weather conditions and erratic wildfire behavior.

Los Angeles and Ventura Counties will be especially vulnerable and at highest risk as they continue to deal with the Palisades and Eaton Fires. The western San Gabriel, Santa Susana, and Santa Monica Mountains and associated foothills/valleys should be areas to watch.

Good news is that winds dramatically decrease and switch direction on Thursday and Friday, from northeasterly to southwesterly. This onshore wind component completely shuts down the Santa Ana winds.
