Red Flag Warning Issued for Malibu and Surrounding Areas in Southern California

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Malibu and other portions of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, effective from 2 AM to 6 PM PST on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The warning is due to a combination of low humidity, temperatures ranging from 80-90℉, and Santa Ana winds with gusts of 30-45 MPH, creating ideal conditions for rapid wildfire growth and extreme fire behavior. Southern California Edison (SCE) may implement Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) to prevent wildfires, potentially leading to power loss. Residents are advised to report any signs of smoke immediately and exercise extreme caution with potential ignition sources.
