San Diego County Tuesday remains under a red flag warning denoting a strong risk of wildfire, with the National Weather Service forecasting Santa Ana wind gusts approaching 80 miles per hour along with low humidity as utility officials shut off power to around 10,600 customers in the region as a safety precaution.
The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for the county mountains, valleys and coastal areas that was originally set to last until 5 p.m. Tuesday but has been extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday. The NWS also issued a high wind warning in the mountains and valleys that remains in effect until 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Winds blowing east to northeast were expected between 30 to 40 mph in most of the region with gusts of 80 mph possible near the ridge tops of the county mountains, according to the NWS. Sill Hill, just west of Cuyamaca Peak, recorded gusts as high as 86 mph Monday.
Humidity levels will drop to around 5 percent with poor recovery overnight.
High temperatures Tuesday will be 75 to 80 degrees near the coast and inland, 75 to 80 degrees in the western valleys, 65 to 70 near the foothills and 53 to 62 in the mountains, NWS forecasters said.
Fuels, meaning the vefetation, are very dry and fires will grow rapidly, burn intensely and be difficult to control upon ignition, according to the Santa Ana Wildfire Threat Index.
As of 8 p.m. Monday, San Diego Gas & Electric had shut off power to around 10,600 customers in the Boulevard, Descanso, Campo, Julian, Ramona, Buckman Springs, Lake Wohlford, Pine Valley and Santa Ysabel areas as a safety precaution because of the high winds and low humidity, according to SDG&E.
The outages could last until the red flag warning expires Wednesday afternoon and four resource centers were opened Monday for residents affected by the outages.
Residents can get water and snacks, charge their phones and get updated information on outages at the resources center located at:
Paradise Casino
– Mountain Empire High School Gymnasium, 3305 Buckman Springs Road, Campo
– Potrero Resource Center, 24550 Highway 94, Potrero
– Camp Oliver Lodge, 8761 Riverside Drive, Descanso
– Golden Acorn Casino & Travel Center, 1800 Golden Acorn Way, Campo
Two more resources centers are set to open at 8 a.m. Tuesday at:
– Whispering Winds Catholic Camp, 17606 Harrison Park Road, Julian
– Dulzura Community Center, 1136 Community Building Road, Dulzura
With the heightened fire danger, authorities recommended that residents avoid outdoor burning, using lawn mowers or power tools outside and have emergency preparedness kits in order.
In Los Angeles and Ventura counties, a wind-driven wildfire has scorched 93,700 acres and was 30 percent contained as of this morning. The Woolsey fire, which broke out Thursday afternoon, has destroyed at least 435 structures and Cal Fire projected full containment of the blaze won't come until Thursday.

The much smaller Hill Fire, burning north of Malibu and south of Simi Valley in Ventura County, has scorched 4,500 acres and was 80 percent contained as of this morning.
The winds are expected to peak this morning before gradually decreasing into Wednesday, NWS forecasters said.

December
17, 2008, 12 noon (San Diego's East County) — Heavy snowfall is blanketing
much of East County, clogging major highways.
'Snow is falling on I-8 from the Golden Acorn Casino east to Jacumba,' CAL
FIRE Captain Nick Schuler told East County Magazine, calling from
Boulevard where an estimated one to two inches of snow covered the ground. 'I'm
out here with a four-wheel-drive vehicle and I wouldn't recommend cars out
here. We are responding to accidents on the I-8 corridor.' CAL
FIRE also responded to a fire on BIA 15 south of Highway 94 this morning, where
a home burned to the ground, Schuler reported.
In the mountain areas, chains are required. More than four inches of
snow has fallen in town and more in outlying regions, according to the Julian

'The weather is horrible!' Maureen Anderson, information assistant at the
Descanso Ranger District office in Cleveland National Forest, declared. Chains
are required on Sunrise Highway to Mount Laguna, she confirmed. 'I'™m
telling people who are calling and want to go play in the snow to wait until
tomorrow, after the snow ploughs go through.'
