As winds across the Southern California area are calmer than their peak and firefighters are making progress, the threat to the fire-weary region remains with Santa Ana winds expected to continue in the coming days.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass emphasized the need for high alertness, with red flag warnings in effect for much of the foothills and mountainous areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. These warnings indicate the possibility of wind gusts reaching up to 100 mph, heightening the risk of fire.
