Dangerous Winds Return To SoCal, Fueling Wildfires

12 hours ago A second day of windy and dry conditions is in store for Southern California. Winds have picked up and are expected to continue through Tuesday morning, raising the risk of new wildfires sparking. Forecasters say gusts could peak at 70 mph along the coast and 100 mph in the mountains and foothills during extreme fire weather that is expected to last through the day. Small fires broke out in San Diego County and one has led to evacuations. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the city is prepared for any possible new fires. The forecast comes two weeks after the start of two major blazes that are still burning in the Los Angeles area.
