A red-flag warning, signifying fire weather danger, was issued by the National Weather Service starting at 1 a.m. Thursday for western Los Angeles County
Possible wind gusts between 40 to 55 mph are anticipated, weather forecasters said, and could remain strong through Thursday night. Humidity is anticipated in the 5% to 15% range as the winds ramp up.
Those forecasts led SCE to consider most of Ventura County and more than 6,000 homes and businesses in the Santa Clarita area for public safety shutdowns.“These are dynamic events, but for now…it’s contained to a small part of L.A. County,” Song said. A number of factors play into the decision on which areas to consider for power shutoffs, Song said. Two of the main factors include wind speeds and fuel conditions.“This time of year, with dead vegetation, getting moisture there is good,” Song said, “but the last wind event in these areas, that’s all dried out now. Relative humidity in some areas that might go down to single digits, that’s a factor.
Residents can sign up for outage alerts through SCE’s website, Song said, or check out the utility’s outage map, which is updated regularly and includes areas where public safety power shutoffs are being considered or are in effect.
