California High Winds and Red Flag Warnings

Updated October 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST.

Powerful Santa Ana winds blasted much of the Southland Thursday, with wind speeds exceeding expectations and combining with low humidity to create critical wildfire conditions that forecasters say will continue through Saturday.

Red flag warnings issued by the National Weather Service due to critical fire danger took effect for much of Los Angeles County beginning at 6 AM Thursday, and they will remain in effect until 8 PM Saturday.
