Firefighters are confronting severe challenges with powerful winds forecasted to reach over 75 mph, which can spread the fire and complicate containment efforts.
The Los Angeles County fires, having resulted in at least 16 fatalities and destruction of over 10,000 structures, are considered one of the most catastrophic wildfires in U.S. history.
Meteorologist Rose Schoenfield highlighted that critical fire weather is expected, with particular concern for winds picking up on Monday through Wednesday, posing significant risks.
With a red flag warning in effect until Wednesday, there are concerns about how the Santa Ana winds will exacerbate the situation in vulnerable communities.
