Gusty Santa Ana winds will develop tonight into Friday morning with low humidity, resulting in high fire danger and Red Flag warnings.

A second burst of Santa Ana winds is likely Sunday and Monday. A Red Flag warning means critical fire weather conditions are either happening now or will soon. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire potential and erratic fire behavior. 

As part of the annual Great California ShakeOut, the City of Mission Viejo will test its mass-notification system AlertOC at 10:18 a.m. on 10/18.  The drill will replicate a big earthquake requiring thousands of numbers to be called simultaneously.
