BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — It was another cool, fall day across Kern county and a windy one in the mountains.
Gusts sped up to around 20 miles per hour in the mountains and are expected to reach close to 30 miles per hour in some places on Monday.
The windy weather coupled with low humidity levels increases the risk for wildfires in the Kern mountains.
The dry conditions should last through Monday, meaning a red flag warning will be in effect until Monday night.
Things like discarded cigarettes,hot vehicle exhaust, and campfires are just some of the causes of wildfires.
Because of this, remember to keep these sources away from dry vegetation or wood, properly extinguish fires, and keep water near campfires to be safe.
