Red Flag Warnings In Place For Ventura, Los Angeles Counties

What could be the most powerful Santa Ana wind event of the year is underway in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, and that means an increased risk of brush fires in the region.

National Weather Service forecasters say we could see wind in the 50 to 70 mile an hour range in some of the mountain areas. The strongest wind is expected Monday night  into Tuesday. The potential for Santa Ana winds will remain in the forecast through the work week.
