We find ourselves sandwiched in between two Santa Ana wind events. We just got through one, leaving us with a calm weekend before another Red Flag Warning takes effect Monday through Tuesday.
In addition to the calm conditions, it'll be cool this weekend. Some inland communities may see patchy frost Sunday morning, along with some fog stretching along the coast. That part of the region will also see temperatures about 5-8 degrees below average.
The Red Flag Warning is triggered Monday at 10 a.m. and lasts through Tuesday at 10 p.m. In that time, wind gusts could reach up to 45 mph inland and 60 mph in the mountains, especially late Monday.
A High Wind Watch has also been issued for inland and mountain areas on Tuesday from 4 a.m.-8 p.m.
That, combined with relative humidity dropping to the teens or even single digits in some areas.
We know what that does to our fire risk. Never hurts to prepare accordingly to stay on the safe side!
Santa Ana winds weaken Wednesday and Thursday.
Temperatures on the coast and inland will be gradually warming up over the next few days, peaking back above average by up to 5 degrees by Thursday.
Meantime, the opposite is true for the mountains and deserts, with temperatures gradually dropping through Tuesday, before rebounding significantly Wednesday.
Saturday’s Highs:
Coast: 57-65°
Inland: 61-65°
Mountains: 54-64°
Deserts: 64-69°
