The National Weather Service (NWS) is warning that conditions in Los Angeles are expected to worsen significantly over the next hours, and could hamper any progress made in combating the wildfires blazing through the area.
Concretely, the NWS warned of a "particularly dangerous situation" beginning on Monday. It includes sustained winds of 40 mph and gusts in the mountains going up as high as 70 mph. The situation is expected to continue through Wednesday, with Tuesday being the worst day, according to fire analyst Dennis Burns.
