As the University noted was possible in Friday’s message, the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning, running from 8 AM on Monday through 10 PM on Tuesday due to winds of 25-35 miles per hour (MPH) with gusts up to 55 MPH and low humidity. Within this timeframe, weather officials predict a stronger wind period between Noon Monday and 10 AM Tuesday. The NWS has also extended the Fire Weather Watch through Thursday evening. As a reminder, Red Flag Warnings are issued several times per year in Southern California to denote windier days, with less humidity present, when the NWS encourages preparations to reduce fire risk. As is typically the case during Red Flag Warnings, University officials prepare the campus appropriately and expect normal campus operations, including classes, to continue as scheduled. Additional information regarding Red Flag Warnings is available on the University’s Emergency Information Page . Road Conditions Updates Malibu Canyon remains open, though members of the Pepperdine community coming to campus from west of Kanan Dume Road are encouraged to consider continuing to use Kanan to PCH, to the John Tyler Drive gate when possible, as refueling for fire trucks and other first responders continues to occur on Malibu Canyon between PCH and Seaver Drive (main entrance to Pepperdine off of Malibu Canyon). While this refueling is occuring, those commuting to campus through Malibu Canyon will have direct access to the main entrance to Pepperdine by turning right onto Seaver Drive. Malibu Canyon Road lanes have been reduced from Seaver Drive to PCH due to the refueling operation. Because of this lane reduction, commuters may experience a slow down of southbound Malibu Canyon traffic, especially near the entrance to Pepperdine. PCH south of campus remains closed between the McClure Tunnel where it connects with the 10 freeway and the area near the Malibu Pier.
