Los Angeles, the Red Flag Warning is up. That matters today.
Here's the key thing to understand. A Red Flag Warning is about fire risk, not just wind.
The somewhat surprising part of all this is that temperatures are staying mild. Despite the wind event, Southern California isn't baking this weekend.
The air quality reading for LA is sitting at forty-eight, which puts it firmly in the Good range. That's better than you might expect given the conditions.
So practically speaking. Keep a close eye on any open flame today, campfires, backyard burning, anything like that.
Los Angeles. Mild temps, gusty winds, and a Red Flag in the air.
