A Red Flag Warning has been issued for inland and mountain communities, once again increasing our fire danger threat to start the work week.
The warning picks up Monday at 4 p.m. and runs through Wednesday at 6 p.m. thanks to the return of strong Santa Ana winds.
In that window, we could see gusts up to 55 miles per hour, paired with relative humidity dropping as low as 10 percent in some areas.
Fortunately, the winds will taper off after that, before another big change arrives — the potential for some much-needed precipitation!
Coastal, inland and mountain communities could see shows starting Friday night, with at least a chance for rain sticking through Sunday. The higher elevations, between 4,500-5,000+ feet, could even see some snow during that span.
This comes along with a cooldown, so expect daytime highs to decrease by 5-10 degrees Thursday and Friday.
Sunday’s Highs:
Coast: 62-71°
Inland: 62-70°
Mountains: 41-56°
Deserts: 61-68°
