Southern California fire threat

The WindRadar shows potentially damaging Santa Ana winds ramping up across Southern California through Wednesday. These winds will fuel a significant fire threat.

Powerful Santa Ana winds will gust between 50 and up to 80 mph starting later today and continuing through Wednesday. Check out our WindRadar to keep up with these gusts. We offer 4-days of wind gust forecasts through our WindRadar.

For those who are traveling in high-profile vehicles, caution is needed. Slow down and keep enough distance between you and the next vehicle. In addition to gusty Santa Ana winds, very low humidity levels will enhance the risk of wildfires today through Wednesday.

The National Weather Service office in Los Angeles has issued a rare Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning for the coasts, valleys and mountains in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, Monday night into Tuesday.

Use extreme caution over the next few days and avoid any activities that may produce sparks.
