The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for Malibu beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday night until 5 p.m. Friday. Gusty winds, very low relative humidity and high temperatures are expected to combine to produce an extended period of critical fire weather conditions. Wind is expected to become weaker on Friday, but temperatures are projected to rise while single-digit humidity persists, leading the fire weather conditions to remain.Â
