Red flag fire warnings and a high-wind advisory — with Santa Ana winds gusting in as fast as 75 mph — are in effect across Southern California this Thanksgiving.
By afternoon on Thursday, most areas will have warmed up to the mid-70s or lower 80s. Still, it should be short of a record set in 2017.
A Red Flag Warning was in place through 7 p.m. Wednesday due to the heightened winds, which reached gusts of over 70 mph in parts of the county.
Santa Ana winds could bring hazardous fire conditions to Ventura County on Wednesday.
Weather officials expect cooler fall weather this weekend, but it will also bring Santa Ana winds, and with it, elevated fire risk.
