This type of red flag warning is a relatively rare advisory that the National Weather Service issues in extreme cases.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 8: A firefighter battles the Palisades Fire while it burns homes at Pacific Coast Highway amid a powerful windstorm on January 8, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. The fast-moving wildfire has grown to more than 11,000-acres and is threatening homes in the coastal neighborhood amid intense Santa Ana Winds and dry conditions in Southern California.

The average for this time of year is usually over three inches.
Firefighters will not be able to have relief until later in the evening when gusts die down.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued a smoke advisory in parts of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties. They urge people who can smell or see smoke to avoid or limit outdoor activities.
Southern California could see another round of windy weather will likely return Friday and early next week.
