Red Flag Warning Extended Through Saturday

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the Los Angeles and Orange County Area, including La Habra Heights, through Saturday, December 9 at 8:00 pm.


The Fire Weather Watch is due to low humidity of about 5% with poor overnight recovery, combined with strong, gusty winds. Northeast winds are predicted at 20-35 mph with gusts up to 60 MPH along the coastal slopes. Isolated gusts up to 90 mph likely late tonight through Thursday in the remote canyon and foothill locations.


 
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

are expected. A combination of gusty winds and low relative
humidity can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Use extreme
