Gusty Winds, Low Humidity Prompt Red Flag Warning

Pasadena Fire Chief Calvin E. Wells has directed the activation of Red Flag parking restrictions within Pasadena amid National Weather Service predictions of  critical fire weather conditions throughout Los Angeles County.

The alert declared at 6:00 a.m. Sunday continues Monday until 8 p.m.

Fire Department Spokesperson Lisa Derderian said a Red Flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are expected.

“The combination of very strong winds and low relative humidity, as well as sufficiently dry fuels, should result in favorable conditions for rapid fire growth if fire ignition occurs,” Derderian said.

The warning is due to gusty northeast winds and very low humidities, the forecasters said.

Temperatures this week are expected to soar.  Although Sunday should top out at 86°, Monday is expected to hit 93° , Tuesday 96° and the rest of the week to be in the triple digits.

In order to allow for improved Fire Department access and resident evacuation, parking is restricted on posted narrow and/or winding roads within Pasadena’s urban-wildland interface areas.

Derderian said vehicles parked in violation may be subject to being fined and towed. She added that Red Flag parking restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
