Full Notification

The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for the south coast of Santa Barbara, including Montecito from Thursday, October 12th at 8:00 PM through Saturday, October 14th at 10:00 AM. Predicted gusty north winds peaking at 30 – 40 miles per hour, and very low humidity ranging from 5–15 percent bring critical fire weather conditions to the area. If fire ignition occurs, the potential for rapid-fire spread and extreme fire behavior is very likely, causing imminent threat to life and property.
