Los Angeles, the red flag is down but don't relax yet. The critical warning expired Saturday evening, but the fire weather pattern is still very much alive.
Here's what Monday brings. A wind advisory is in effect for LA County, with northeast winds running twenty to thirty miles per hour and gusts hitting forty to fifty.
The humidity is the part that doesn't get enough attention. We're sitting at ten to thirty percent through the weekend.
Beyond the fire weather, here's how the week shapes up. Sunday and Monday sit near normal, lows in the mid-fifties, nothing extreme.
The main thing to watch heading into the week is whether humidity recovers. Right now it's unclear when we get back above thirty percent.
