.A long duration Red Flag Warning remains in effect across much
of Los Angeles and Ventura counties through Wednesday. There is a
moderate risk for locally damaging winds over the windiest areas.
Considering the extremely dry state of the fuels, recent fire
behavior, and the strength of the winds, this is a particularly
dangerous situation. There is a high risk for large fires, rapid
fire spread, and long range spotting. Key changes included
focusing the PDS to Wednesday 3am to 3pm, removing the San Gabriel
Valley, adding the northern Ventura Mountains, and extending the
Santa Susana Mountains, western San Gabriel Mountains, and I-5
Corridor through 3pm Thursday.

FOR GUSTY NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY…

* WINDS…Periods of northeast to east winds 20 to 30 mph with
gusts to 50 mph. Strongest on Wednesday with isolated gusts of
60 to 70 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY…Daytime humidities of 8 to 15 percent
common. Minimal humidity recovery expected at night.

* IMPACTS…If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable
for very rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior,
including long range spotting, which would threaten life and
property.
