The clouds we’ve seen this week will part and a mostly sunny, warmer day is in the forecast throughout the region.
We’ll see gusty winds today throughout the valley and mountain areas of L.A. and Ventura counties, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a red flag warning beginning at 9 a.m. today until 6 p.m. Saturday. In the Inland Empire, the warning is in effect from the San Bernardino Mountains into the valley areas today from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Gusty winds combined with low humidity means an increase in fire danger so L.A.’s red flag parking restrictions are in effect beginning at 8 a.m. If you park in the hilly or mountainous areas of the city, make sure to check the parking signs.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
