Red Flag Warning: La Cañada Flintridge Weekly Weather Forecast

LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA – Red flag warnings will be in force Monday through at least Thursday in Los Angeles county denoting a high danger of wildfires due to strong Santa Ana winds and low humidity, according to the National Weather Service. This will likely be the strongest and longest duration Santa Ana wind event we have seen so far this season, which runs from late September through April, according to an NWS statement.

The strongest winds will be Monday and Tuesday, said NWS meteorologist Curt Kaplan. Santa Ana winds could persist into Friday or Saturday, which would requite that red flag warnings to be extended, the NWS said.

"If fire ignition occurs, there will be the potential for very rapid fire spread ... and extreme fire behavior," according to NWS.
