Oxnard is waking Friday to clear skies and temperatures around 60 degrees, but the sunny forecast comes with a serious coastal and fire-weather warning. The afternoon high should reach 83, while stronger north winds, dangerous surf and rip currents become the bigger story through the weekend.
Sunny, Hotter And Windier Through Sunday
Friday will stay sunny with a high near 83 and north winds of 10 to 15 mph, with gusts reaching 20 mph. Saturday and Sunday look warmer, each topping out near 85, while Saturday brings the strongest winds at 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
Overnight lows will vary through the forecast period. The dry stretch continues Monday and Tuesday with highs near 82 and 80, followed by another sunny Veterans Day near 80; Thursday, Nov. 12, is forecast mostly sunny with a high near 76. The National Weather Service expects the warmest and windiest conditions from Friday through Sunday.
Beach Hazards Continue Into Tuesday
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect for Ventura County beaches through Tuesday morning.
Swimmers should stay out of the water or remain near an occupied lifeguard tower, and rock jetties should be avoided.
Fire Risk Rises With Santa Ana Winds
There is a 30% chance of targeted Red Flag Warnings on Friday and Saturday. The National Weather Service mentions possible low-end advisory gusts in portions of the Santa Ana Wind Corridor. Dry conditions add to fire-weather risk.
Residents heading toward the foothills should avoid outdoor activities that could ignite vegetation, secure loose items before the strongest winds arrive and keep an eye on local emergency updates. The latest outlook adds a sharper wind-and-fire-weather edge to the warmup covered earlier this week by Hoodline.
