The NWS has reissued a 'particularly dangerous situation' warning for swaths of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, cautioning of high wind gusts, dry air and a higher risk of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior.

A final round of dangerous fire weather is in the forecast for Wednesday in Southern California as the region battles ongoing wildfires. Here's what to know.

As fires in the region remain uncontained, L.A. officials say they’re “ready” for an incoming new round of strong winds.

The Eaton Fire burning just north of Los Angeles and the Palisades Fire that destroyed much of the seaside L.A. neighbourhood of Pacific Palisades broke out Jan. 7 in conditions similar to what’s expected Wednesday. High winds last week pushed flames at remarkable speed and carried fire-sparking embers sometimes miles away.

Although winds were weaker than expected Tuesday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, windy conditions are expected to intensify late in the evening before another "Particularly Dangerous Situation" red flag warning takes effect again,

Forecasters are calling for another windstorm to hit Southern California this week, creating what officials described as a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) across the region. Powerful wind gusts locally are expected to be between 45 and 70 mph from early Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon,
