Santa Anas are coming back tomorrow and Saturday.
These winds will not be nearly as strong as what occurred earlier this week.
But gusts between 30 and 45 mph are possible.
We will just cross over into critical fire weather conditions … possibly … over much of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
This event will not nearly be as severe as what occurred on Monday and Tuesday, but a Red Flag Warning may still be warranted.

Construction of new parking lots and sidewalks is nearly finished at Webster elementary school.
And starting next Monday … the school will resume pick up and drop off of students at the north end of campus … near the front door.
But the return to more normal procedures does not mean that higher security procedures will not end.
Santa Monica Malibu school officials say they will continue to have kindergarten students students escorted to and from the classroom by their parents.
Other kids will have to be dropped off at the curb or … say goodbye to their parents at the gate if escorted from the lower parking lot.
All parents needing to access campus before school for any reason will sign in in the main office.
The changes take effect on Monday … prepare for a little extra confusion.
