Santa Ana Winds and Fire Weather Criteria in Southern CA
Right now we have an offshore flow here in southern California. It is breezy in my area, while other areas have higher winds. This wind event is expected to increase through tomorrow, so we have both wind advisories and a red flag warning out through at least tomorrow afternoon due to the high winds and low humidities. What sucks is that we have had little rain this winter so far; but areas to our north (San Fran for example) have had plenty. I will update through the night as needed.
