Red flag warning in effect from late tonight through Wednesday afternoon for gusty winds - LA and Ventura counties

Red flag warning in effect from late tonight through Wednesday afternoon for gusty winds and low relative humidity over the mountains of Los Angeles and Ventura counties...
Monday night through Wednesday afternoon
Red flag conditions will only be met where the winds are the strongest.
Fire weather watch in effect for gusty winds and low relative humidity over the coast and valley areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties... widespread elevated fire concerns through Thursday...
The north flow and upper level support from earlier will weaken into Monday as the flow shifts to the northeast...but it will remain gusty in the favored locations. The air mass will dry as well into Monday...with most areas seeing humidities between 8 and 15 percent by Monday afternoon.
This will likely result in critical conditions on Monday over most of Los Angeles and Ventura counties...especially in the late morning and afternoon hours....namely the Los Angeles and Ventura county mountains and possibly the Santa Clarita Valley.
Monday night into Tuesday
Colder air will push into the great basin resulting in strengthening northeast flow into a moderate Santa Ana. Wind gusts should generally range between 40 and 55 mph with sustained winds between 25 and 35 mph. Humidities will continue to range between 8 and 15 percent with high temperatures in the 80s. This will likely result in widespread red flag conditions and durations over Los Angeles and Ventura counties...include the coastal sections.
Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Similar conditions are expected while weaker winds are expected Wednesday night into Thursday...continued dry air will bring the potential for red flag conditions.
Friday and Saturday - Much weaker winds are expected...but warm and dry conditions will continue. Sunday or Monday - Rain is possible.
