October will end dry, warm, and windy as Santa Ana conditions continue.
A Wind Advisory is in place for the inland valleys and mountains through 8 P.M. Tuesday where you can expect easterly winds of 20 to 30mph and gusts 40 to 60mph. Peak wind gusts climbed over 60mph in Big Black Mountain and Sill Hill.
Pairing these windy conditions with low relative humidity, between 5 to 15%, will amplify fire danger throughout the week. Ensure your home has defensible space and check cars for loose parts or tire tread. Any small fire that sparks will grow due to these conditions.
While the days will be warm with highs 5 to 10 degrees above average, it will be chilly at night with lows plummeting to the 50s and upper 40s.
Santa Ana winds weaken towards the second half of the week with slightly cooler conditions and higher humidity by the end of the week and the weekend.
Tuesday's Highs:
Coast: 76-83
Inland: 80-88
Mountains: 59-72
Desert: 79-82
