Another round of fire weather could last for much of next week in Southern California, bringing new dangers as Pacific Palisades, Altadena and surrounding communities struggle to assess the damage of devastating wildfires earlier this month.
Critical fire weather is expected to continue until Wednesday at the earliest, increasing the risk that fires will spread further.
The death toll of the fires has reached 16 with an additional 16 people reported missing. More than 12,300 structures have been destroyed according to Cal Fire, with more at risk as weather conditions persist. The NWS has issued red-flag warnings across Southern California, lasting through 6 p.m. Wednesday.
There’s a growing risk that significant fire weather could return in Los Angeles and Ventura counties starting early next week.
