Local media reports that these winds could create "dangerous" fire weather conditions that could last all week.
The particularly dangerous situation alert is relatively new to Southern California but has been issued before the recent wildfires that have caused devastation across LA County.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Windy and dry conditions returned to Southern California on Monday, raising the risk of new wildfires sparking as firefighters continue to battle two major blazes in the Los Angeles area that started in similar weather nearly two weeks ago.
Wind gusts and dry conditions will linger throughout the day on Thursday in Los Angeles where firefighters hope to gain on their momentum against two major wildfires that have ravaged everything in their path.
The “particularly dangerous situation” was in effect for an area that includes parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Raging wildfires in Los Angeles killed at least two people, destroyed hundreds of buildings and stretched firefighting resources and water supplies to the limit on Wednesday, as more than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate.
"A strong Santa Ana Wind event is expected to develop Monday and last through at least Tuesday," the National Weather ... according to the weather service office in Los Angeles.
This is the third PDS warning issued within 14 days in the greater Los Angeles area, which is "unprecedented" for the region, according to the National Weather Service.
All red flag warnings for critical fire danger expired by Thursday evening, bringing relief for firefighting work on two deadly blazes in Los Angeles County.
The National Weather Service is providing more details on a tornado that touched down in Lincoln County earlier in the month.
