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.

The latest Santa Ana winds will return Monday, with the strongest gusts expected Monday night into Tuesday morning, as Los Angeles fires continue to burn.

Santa Ana winds return to Southern California from Monday to Tuesday, once again raising fire danger concerns.

A strong and dry Santa Ana event with extreme fire weather conditions is increasingly likely,” the NWS said. “This event may be considerably stronger for many areas than the event that we experienced this past Monday through Wednesday.
