More Fire Weather Ahead For Malibu

MALIBU, CA — Malibu will see more high fire risk weather through the weekend as gusty winds and dry air create dangerous conditions.

Malibu's red flag warning expired Wednesday evening, but the city remains under elevated fire weather conditions through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. The city will enter another period of fire weather watch at 1 a.m. Saturday through 10 p.m. Saturday.

The city could see winds between 50-70 miles per hour in the mountains, which will be strongest through Thursday and into Friday night and Saturday. Combined with dry air, the wind is expected to create potential for fast-spreading wildfire.

"Do your part to prevent fires by saving yard work for more humid, light wind days. Report any unattended smoke or fires," NWS said.

Residents were advised to reduce driving speed in high winds and use caution with any activity that could spark a fire. Residents should expect power outages through the weekend.

Malibu was expected to see a high of 71 degrees Thursday with wind gusts up to 17 miles per hour, according to AccuWeather.
