Cell phones across Orange County may have received an emergency alert for an evacuation warning. This is likely related to the #KennethFire in the West Hills area of Los Angeles and does not affect Orange County. There is no threat to Orange County.

[NWS San Diego @NWSSanDiego]

A Particularly Dangerous Situation is expected for the highlighted portion of our area from 7AM - 1PM on Wednesday. Very strong gusts and low relative humidity will allow any fires that develop to spread VERY rapidly! Wind damage including downed trees expected in some spots!

[NWS San Diego @NWSSanDiego]

Santa Ana winds ramp up tonight into Tue. Gusts 60-70 mph+ expected for Cajon/Banning passes & wind prone areas in the SD mtns. Gusty winds will blow unsecured items around & cause difficult travel for high profile vehicles - secure umbrellas/inflatable reindeer & travel w/ care!
