Los Angeles, California – Critical fire weather is expected to escalate through Sunday in Los Angeles County, where gusts up to 60 mph and humidity levels under 10% have triggered a Red Flag Warning. The warning affects areas along the I-5 Corridor and the Antelope Valley, posing an extreme fire danger through Sunday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard, the warning remains in effect through Sunday, June 22, due to dry fuels, strong winds, and critically low humidity. Officials caution that any ignition could lead to rapid fire spread, especially in areas like Lancaster, Pyramid Lake, and Santa Clarita.
High Wind Warnings are also in place for regions including Big Pine Mountain, Acton, and Fillmore, with crosswinds creating dangerous travel conditions along Highway 14 and I-5. Residents are urged to clear flammable debris around homes, avoid any outdoor activity that could cause sparks, and review their Ready, Set, Go! evacuation plans.
Emergency alerts are available via Alert LA County for real-time notifications in English and Spanish. Authorities stress the importance of staying informed as conditions may worsen with continued offshore winds.
