With the Palisades and Eaton Fires still not fully contained, another dangerous Santa Ana wind event is forecast in Los Angeles for Monday-Thursday.
The Los Angeles region, still reeling from this month’s firestorm, is under a red-flag warning from noon Monday through Tuesday morning.
"A strong Santa Ana Wind event is expected to develop Monday and last through at least Tuesday," the National Weather Service said.
Forecasters say the third windstorm of January will focus much of its energy on the region during one of the driest periods on record.
Strong Santa Ana winds are hitting fire-ravaged Los Angeles on Friday morning, but the winds will relax later in the day and the red flag warning will end Friday night.
After a weekend of reprieve allowing fire teams to continue making progress battling the deadly infernos burning in Los Angeles County, Southern California now faces another round of fire-fueling Santa Ana Winds Monday.
Forecasters in Southern California expect to issue a 'particularly dangerous situation' red flag warning for the coming week as the Santa Ana wind forecast worsens.
Red flag warnings have been extended multiple times, but meteorologists are confident that conditions will improve in California.
"If fire ignition occurs, conditions are favorable for very rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior," the NWS warns.
As firefighters brace for yet another round of strong Santa Ana winds over the next several days, prompting high wind warnings, dozens of residents and businesses owners impacted by the Eaton Fire attended a community meeting in Pasadena.
