The National Weather Service has issued red flag warnings for much of Southern California due to strong Santa Ana winds, which pose a significant fire risk.
"This is peak Santa Ana wind season and I would say that this is at least a moderate event," says Sebastian Westerink, a weather service meteorologist.
Winds could gust up to 80 mph, impacting fire behavior and increasing the threat of rapidly spreading wildfires in the region.
Residents in fire-prone areas should prepare for possible evacuations, as any fires that start might spread quickly, putting lives at risk.
