@ai6yr i think that's the 3rd PDS we've had here the last few months (the other 2 coinciding w/ Mountain & Franklin fires). i don't recall seeing those too often beforehand.

interestingly, iirc last week's red flag warning was *not* a PDS... right?


@Evading_Review Last week was a PDS, but not for Ventura County -- it was a PDS for Pasadena/Altadena.

Mountain, Franklin, Eaton/Palisades all matched up with the PDS. I was really wondering about those but the NWS crew called it correct every time, the conditions were just too extreme.

There was a PDS in San Diego at the same time, but (thankfully) they were not hit.

I do believe they are the very first PDS warnings ever for Southern California, at least since I started checking Red Flag Warnings obsessively in 2017.
