Firefighters in battle-scarred Los Angeles County and around Southern California could face “extreme” fire weather conditions in the coming week, the National Weather Service said on Saturday, Jan. 18.
“A strong and dry Santa Ana event with extreme fire weather conditions is increasingly likely,” the NWS said in a statement. “This event may be considerably stronger for many areas than the event that we experienced this past Monday through Wednesday.”
The stage is once again set for enormous fire danger because there still is critically dry vegetation, with no real rain since April, meteorologists said.
A fire weather watch was issued for the area near the Palisades fire starting at 10 a.m. on Monday until 10 p.m. Tuesday, but the alert could extend beyond that.
Cooler temperatures, more humidity and weaker winds will aid firefighting efforts over the weekend, NWS meteorologist Rich Thompson said on Friday.
