...RED FLAG WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH STRONG AND DAMAGING OFFSHORE
WINDS...

.Strong and widespread damaging winds are expected to
impact a large portion of Southwest California through Wednesday
morning, with the peak of the wind event today into tonight.
Damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph are expected across portions
of Los Angeles and Ventura counties during the peak, as well as
the higher elevations of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
counties. The lowest humidities with this event are expected to
be Tuesday across coastal and valley areas where downslope drying
will be maximized. There will be an increased risk of fire
ignitions due to downed trees and powerlines, along with the
threat of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior, especially
considering the very dry fuels in place across Southwest
California.

...RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM PST THIS
EVENING FOR STRONG AND DAMAGING NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS AND
MODERATELY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTY COASTS AND VALLEYS AND SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS...

* Winds...Northeast winds 30 to 50 mph with damaging gusts 60 to
75 mph across valley and foothills areas, as well as the Santa
Monicas, and 25 to 45 mph with damaging gusts of 50 to 65 mph
for coastal areas. Strongest winds across the Ventura county
Valleys, San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and
coastal areas from Ventura to Malibu and the Hollywood Hills.
Locally strong winds also expected to impact portions of the
Los Angeles Basin.

* Relative Humidity...15 to 25 percent, increasing to 20 to 30
percent by Tuesday evening and Wednesday.

* Impacts...If fire ignition occurs, conditions will be favorable
for rapid fire spread, long range spotting, and extreme fire
behavior which would threaten life and property. Due to the
strength of the expected winds, there will be an increased
potential for downed trees and powerlines, causing an increased
threat of fire ignitions. In addition, there will be an
increased risk for power outages.

...MAJOR WIND EVENT FOR THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INNER WATERS TO
THE ISLANDS THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...

Strong, gusty northeast winds and very choppy seas will develop
over the inner waters southeast of Point Conception through this
evening. Gale force winds will peak this evening, reaching 30 to
40 knots with local gusts 45 to 50 knots. These winds will result
in very rough seas across most of the inner waters. The strongest
winds will affect the nearshore waters from Ventura to Santa
Monica, including Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands. Also affected
will be the San Pedro Channel and the east side of Catalina
Island, including Avalon and Two Harbors, where dangerous wind
waves of 5 to 8 feet are possible. Winds will gradually subside
later tonight through Wednesday morning.

Gale force winds and rough seas will be capable of producing
damage to exposed locations. These conditions have a history of
vessel damage and loss of life and mariners should avoid them or
remain in safe harbor until conditions improve. Avalon Harbor and
other east facing harbors on Catalina Island should not be
considered safe harbor during this event.

...GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Northeast winds 20 to 30 kt with gusts up to 50 kt and
combined seas 7 to 10 feet expected when conditions are worst.

* WHERE...Inner waters from Point Mugu to San Mateo Pt. CA
including Santa Catalina and Anacapa Islands and East Santa
Barbara Channel from Pt. Conception to Pt. Mugu CA including
Santa Cruz Island.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM PST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Strong winds will create dangerous sea conditions
which could capsize or damage small and large vessels.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...See the Coastal Waters Forecast (CWFLOX).

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions.
Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the
vessel for severe conditions.
