Residents of Los Angeles County are being warned to brace themselves for the return of strong gusts of wind, according to the National Weather Service's Los Angeles office. Meteorologist Ariel Cohen emphasized that the region is not yet in the clear and that the period of decreased winds is coming to an end.
The forecast indicates that wind gusts exceeding 50 to 60 miles per hour are already being recorded in the mountains and are expected to move into the valleys of western Los Angeles County, extending to the Santa Monica mountains and the Malibu Coast. High-end red flag warning conditions are anticipated to reestablish within the next few hours and persist through the evening, overnight, and into Friday.
