…HIGH RISK FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS MONDAY THROUGH AT LEAST
TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK FOR MUCH OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA

create a high risk for critical fire weather conditions and rapid
fire spread with any new fires. With dry conditions lasting
through Friday of next week, and additional rounds of enhanced
offshore flow likely, red flag conditions are likely to continue
Tuesday night through Thursday.
