This will be a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION (PDS) Red Flag Warning event in many areas, with the combination of strong upper level wind support, tightening offshore pressure gradients (LAX-Daggett peaking at -7 to -8 mb), and moderate cold air advection. The strongest winds with this Santa Ana wind event are expected to be Wednesday morning into Wednesday night when widespread damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph are likely in the mountains and foothills of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties (including the Santa Monicas and Santa Susanas), with isolated gusts of 80 to 100 mph possible in favored areas of the San Gabriels. Similar winds are expected once again in the mountains Thursday night. For wind prone coastal and valley areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, damaging gusts of 50 to 70 mph will be likely (including the Malibu Coast and Ventura County coastal plain). Due to the strong upper level wind support, typical wind sheltered areas such as portions of the LA basin all the way to the coast, Lake Casitas and Ojai, as well as the Channel Islands and Catalina Island are expected to see gusty north to northeast winds with associated Red Flag conditions. Humidity levels are also expected to lower to between 8 to 15 percent by Wednesday afternoon with these low humidities likely to linger into Thursday and Friday. These are Extremely Critical and highly volatile conditions. Any new fires in the Red Flag Warning area -- and especially the PDS Red Flag Warning area -- will have rapid fire spread, extreme fire behavior, and long range spotting.
