NextImg:Powerful Santa Ana Winds Expected to Elevate Fire Risk in Southern California

Strong, damaging Santa Ana winds are expected to bring extreme wildfire danger to Southern California Monday into Tuesday as the landscape remains dangerously starved of rain, and as firefighters continue to work to fully contain wildfires that left at least 27 people dead and destroyed thousands of homes this month.

While an offshore wind pattern is expected across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties Monday through Friday, the winds are predicted to pose the highest danger Monday night into Tuesday morning.

There is a chance the winds could be similar in strength to the fierce gusts that topped 90 miles per hour and fueled the devastating wildfires in Altadena and Pacific Palisades.

The big difference with these winds, though, is that they are expected to affect different locations, as they will blow with a more northeast-to-east tilt than the Jan. 7 event, which had a north-to-northeast tilt, said Rose Schoenfeld, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Oxnard, Calif.

The areas likely to see the strongest gusts include the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, the mountains and foothills of Los Angeles County and much of Ventura County.

Amid the windy conditions, downed trees, power outages and dangerous ocean conditions are also likely.
