• Fire Weather Watch through 1/10/25 at 5 pm – Critical Red Flag fire weather conditions will continue across much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties through Friday due to gusty Santa Ana winds and low humidities. While winds had diminished some last night, they are increasing and becoming more widespread today and will continue into Friday morning. The strongest winds today into Friday morning will be across the mountains (including the Santa Susanas and Santa Monicas) and Santa Clarita Valley, where damaging wind gusts up to 65 mph can be expected, except isolated gusts to 75 mph in the San Gabriels, western Santa Monicas, and Santa Susana mountains. The gusty Santa Ana winds will also overspread many of the typical wind prone coasts and valley areas in LA/Ventura counties during this time, with gusts in the 35 to 55 mph range. With the enhance upper level wind support today into this evening, there will be some breezy conditions across portions of the LA Basin, especially the west side of the LA coast. Humidity values between 7 and 15 percent will be common today into Friday across the Red Flag Warning area, with poor overnight recoveries under 20 percent in windy areas tonight. THE INCREASED SANTA ANA WINDS TODAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING WILL BRING HIGH END RED FLAG CONDITIONS TO THE WIND PRONE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES, AS WELL AS THE MALIBU COAST. The offshore winds are expected to diminish on Friday afternoon, with the potential for an onshore wind shift across many of the coastal areas. WITH THE ENHANCED SANTA ANA WINDS TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING, THERE WILL BE THE INCREASED RISK OF RAPID FIRE SPREAD AND EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR, INCLUDING LONG RANGE SPOTTING, ON EXISTING FIRES AS WELL AS ANY NEW FIRES. There is the potential for a moderate to strong Santa Ana wind event Monday into Tuesday.

Smoke advisories are issued for large fires in or near the South Coast AQMD jurisdiction and are intended to provide a summary of current/past air quality and provide predictions of future smoke impacts. Even in areas far from fires or areas not covered by a smoke advisory, if you can smell smoke or see ash from a wildfire, avoid or limit outdoor activities. For information about the effects of wildfires on your health, and how to reduce exposures, please see the AQMD website Wildfire Smoke & Ash Health & Safety Tips page.

Click Here for Current Smoke Advisory

Wildfire smoke can cause unhealthy air quality in areas many miles away from the fire. Smoke conditions change quickly, so check your air quality using the South Coast AQMD app or on the AQMD interactive map. Older adults, young children, pregnant women, and people with heart diseases or lung diseases (such as asthma) may be especially sensitive to health risks from wildfire smoke.

If you smell smoke, see smoke near ground level, or see ash due to a wildfire, here are ways to limit your exposure:

• Remain indoors with windows and doors closed or seek alternate shelter.
• Avoid vigorous physical activity.
• Run your air conditioner if you have one and make sure it has a clean filter. Close the fresh air intake if your air conditioner has the option so that it is recirculating the indoor air to prevent bringing additional smoke inside. A higher efficiency filter (i.e. higher MERV rating) will filter out more smoke particles than a low efficiency one.
• Create a space in your home with filtered air, by using a portable high-efficiency or HEPA air cleaner while keeping doors and windows closed. This can be a room where you spend a lot of time, such as a bedroom. More information about air filters and air cleaners can be found here: Fact Sheet on Indoor Air Filtration.
• If you can stay cool without them, avoid using a whole-house fan or a swamp cooler with an outside air intake.
• Avoid using indoor or outdoor wood-burning appliances, including fireplaces. Avoid combustion sources inside the home such as candles and incense that could further degrade indoor air quality.
• If you must be outdoors in smoky conditions, keep it brief, and use a disposable respirator (N-95 or P-100). These respirators can offer some protection from smoke particles if they are worn properly and have a tight fit. Do not rely on surgical masks or cloth masks for protection. Information about using respirators to protect from wildfire smoke or ash can be found here: Fact Sheet on Respirators
• Commercial building managers should follow their Smoke Readiness Plan. Guidance on developing a plan can be found here: https://www.epa.gov/emergencies-iaq/wildfires-and-indoor-air-quality-schools-and-commercial-buildings.
