West Hollywood Weather: Triple-Digit Heat, Red Flag Warning

The warning, reflecting "a long-duration fire weather threat," will be in effect through Wednesday, with the most critical fire conditions expected Monday through Tuesday, according to a National Weather Service statement.

A risk of wildfire also exists in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, the NWS reported.
