Los Angeles red flag warning in effect this week as temperatures warm up

This wet season is looking very dry, with no rain expected for at least the next seven to ten days. This week, a red flag warning is even in effect for portions of Los Angeles County.

The Santa Monica Mountains, the southeast Ventura County valleys, the Santa Clarita, western San Fernando, and Calabasas valleys were all under a red flag warning from 7 a.m. Tuesday to 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. Gusts could go from 30 to 45 miles per hour.

As low relative humidity and vigorous north to northeast winds are predicted, the alert is put into force.

“Our wet season, we’ve had virtually zero rainfall, which means any time we flip the winds back to an offshore wind and drop the relative humidity, fire danger’s going to go up,” Paul Deanno, a meteorologist with KCAL News, stated.

Temperatures in parts of Los Angeles County will be 15 degrees warmer than normal on New Year’s Day and Thursday, the first two days of 2025.
