Forecasters advise residents to be aware of the increased fire danger and bring inside any objects that could fly away.
Gusty Santa Ana winds and dry conditions spelling heightened wildfire danger are forecast for Southern California starting Saturday night and continuing into early next week, according to the National Weather Service.A fire warning is in effect for the mountain areas of Santa Monica, Santa Clarita, and the San Gabriel Valley. The NWS also posted a high wind watch for the Inland Empire beginning at 3 a.m. Sunday and ending at 10 p.m.
“In terms of fires, avoid activities that could create a spark,” NWS forecaster Stefanie Sullivan said. “Don’t park on top of grass if you have to pull over, because the heat from your exhaust could ignite a fire.” “Strong winds could damage trees and other objects,” the agency said. “Travel could be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.”
“Overall, this is a moderate event, but it’s definitely the strongest one of the season so far,” Sullivan said. “The other ones were so weak I wouldn’t even classify them as Santa Anas.
