OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES FOR EXTREMELY LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY AND PERIODS OF GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS...
.Dangerous fire weather conditions will persist through Friday as

strong. Northeast winds weakened and shrank last night, but are
on track to strengthen and expand once again this afternoon
afternoon through Thursday morning, before lowering and shrinking
in coverage again Thursday Night into Friday. Peak wind gusts of
35 to 50 mph will be common over much of Los Angeles and Ventura
Counties, with local gusts of 50 to 65 mph in the favored
mountains. Meanwhile, extremely low humidities will persist with
minimums under 10 percent over much of the area and poor overnight
recoveries. While Red Flag Warnings are in effect over most of
Los Angeles and Ventura Counties through Thursday, some of the
windiest areas may need to be extended into early Friday as well.
