Wind and warm weather are predicted for the Los Angeles area, at least through Friday.
The National Weather Service predicts very warm and dry conditions developing this morning and continuing through Thursday evening. Offshore flow will cause near-record temperatures across the area, with 100 predicted for the valleys by Friday.
Winds are expected strongest in the morning, with northeast gusts from 30-50 mph over the valleys. A red flag warning has gone up for the valleys and mountains in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties today, and the warm weather and wind will knock humidity down to single digits in most areas by Thursday.
