Red Flag Warning for Montecito

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the south coast of Santa Barbara, including Montecito from Sunday, December 3rd at 6:00 PM through to Monday, December 4th at 6:00 AM.

Predicted gusty north winds peaking at 35 – 50 miles per hour, and very low humidity bring critical fire weather conditions to the area. If fire ignition occurs, the potential for rapid-fire spread and extreme fire behavior is very likely, causing imminent threat to life and property.
