of southern california ventura county, los angeles county, orange county, all the way over to palm springs for fire danger with dangerously low relative humidity and strong, gusty winds. pardon my loss of voice here. i'm trying. we also have a fire weather watch in effect that will be in effect from monday afternoon through wednesday afternoon for this area of southern california, from palm springs all the way down through san diego county, strong santa ana winds and again, dangerously low relative humidity from ten to about 20%. now, at the moment, the winds in the area of those fires are gusting up to about 45 to 50mph in the windiest locations, still very strong and dangerous winds. if there is any good news here at all, it is that the winds are blowing out of the northeast and carrying much of the smoke from these fires out to sea and away from populated areas. nonetheless, as the fires continue to burn, there will still be a decline in air quality in that area. and i'll have a look at wind gusts in our area in just a few minutes. diane. >> all right. looking forward to that, spencer.
