"Santa Ana Winds Spark Red Flag Warnings, Heightened Wildfire Risk in SoCal"

Strong Santa Ana winds with gusts of up to 70 miles per hour have prompted a Red Flag Warning for parts of Southern California, particularly Los Angeles and Ventura County valleys. The windy conditions, coupled with single-digit humidities, increase the risk of wildfires. Residents in fire-prone areas are advised to be prepared for possible evacuations and to avoid activities that could spark fires. The winds are expected to subside by Sunday evening, followed by warm temperatures at the start of the week.
