Red Flag Warning For High Fire Danger On South Coast

While firefighters have made substantial progress towards fully controlling the Sherpa fire, it could get tougher during the next few days.

The National Weather Service is issuing a Red Flag Warning from 5 tonight through 10 a.m. Tuesday. Forecasters say a combination of sundowner winds, high temperatures, and low humidity creates the potential for extreme fire danger.
