High winds, low humidity expected to fuel fires through Wednesday: ‘Not looking good’
Santa Ana gusts aren’t going anywhere, as meteorologists expect north-to-northeast winds to continue into Wednesday evening for Southern California’s mountain and foothill communities.
Periods of elevated critical fire weather are expected to peak Saturday night into Sunday and then again Monday night through Tuesday
as winds could gust up to more than 75 mph for the eastern part of the mountain ranges in Los Angeles County.
Weather forecasters say the turbulent conditions may help push the Eaton fire in the Altadena area farther south.
Our concern is winds picking up tonight and then on Monday through Wednesday,”
said National Weather Service meteorlogist Rose Schoenfield.
“The general duration of this is not looking good.”
A red flag warning issued for this evening starting at 6 p.m. has been extended to Wednesday night,
as well as a fire watch warning.
Although Santa Ana wind events will affect the mountain and foothill communities of Ventura and Los Angeles counties,
they will likely have a stronger impact for the Santa Susana Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains.
