Buckle up and bunker down everyone, Santa Ana Winds are blowing back into San Diego’s forecast— along with dangerous fire weather conditions.
High winds and low humidity means a Red Flag Warning kicks in from 8 a.m. Monday to 10 p.m. Tuesday for our inland and mountain communities. They’ll also see a High Wind Warning from late Monday night to Tuesday night.
This Santa Ana wind event is shaping up to be powerful, especially Monday night into Tuesday. Wind gusts could clock in at 70 miles per hour or more, and it appears they’ll reach all the way to parts of the coast.
San Diego is even expected to have wind gusts from 20 to 30 m.p.h Monday afternoon.
Some forecast models show bone-dry conditions with humidity dropping into the single digits as far west as La Jolla.
Since this will be a major Santa Ana Wind event, now is the time to prepare!
Temperature-wise, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day will see temperatures in the mid 60s along the coast, highs around 70° for the inland areas, highs in the 50s for the mountains, and highs close to 70° for the deserts.
Monday’s Highs:
Coast: 62-67°
Inland: 66-71°
Mountains: 51-59°
Deserts: 66-71°
