The National Weather Service announced the end of a nine-day wind siege, predicting calmer winds and higher humidity, which should aid firefighting efforts.
As of Thursday morning, the Palisades fire is 21% contained and has burned 23,700 acres, while the Eaton fire is 45% contained after burning 14,100 acres.
Officials indicated that inspections in fire-affected neighborhoods are only halfway done, and no clear timeline has been established for when residents can return home.
The total cost of the fires has been estimated at around $250 billion, making it the most expensive fire in U.S. history.
