Red Flag Warnings will stay in Southern California until Friday, National Weather Service says

Southern California will see its first significant rainfall event of the winter over the weekend, but it’ll have to get through a couple more days of fire weather first.

The National Weather Service warned that single-digit humidity and strong wind gusts on Thursday and into early Friday could create critical fire weather conditions throughout the Southland.

Wind gusts as high as 60 miles per hour were expected in parts of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties on Thursday. The highest winds are expected to last until Thursday afternoon.

Residents, especially those living in fire prone areas and communities, are advised to stay  vigilant and be in a continual state of readiness,” a NWS bulletin reads.

The NWS Critical Fire Weather Warning, originally set to expire on Thursday, has been extended until 10 a.m. Friday.

The warnings come at a time of particular significance as Southern California, and the Los Angeles-area in particular, has suffered through a brutal wildfire season.
