jazz casino, Southern California Braces for Another ‘Particularly Dangerous’ Fire Forecast
Strong Santa Ana winds are expected to intensify the wildfire threat in Southern California early this week and create a “particularly dangerous situation” in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, similar to circumstances in early November that helped fuel a significant wildfirejazz casino,, forecasters warned on Monday.
Most southern parts of the state have received less than 0.25 inches of rain since Oct. 1 and the vegetation is dry and flammable. While wildfire risk plummeted in Northern California because of heavy rain in late November, Southern California largely dodged that storm.
Peak wildfire season is still in full swing in Southern California, and the risk will be especially great from Monday night into Tuesday. The area from Ventura County, to the north of Los Angeles, to San Diego County are expected to see sustained winds of 20 miles per hour to 40 m.p.h. and isolated gusts up to 70 m.p.h. from the inland mountains to the coast. In the windiest locations, likely including Ventura and San Diego counties, isolated gusts could exceed 80 m.p.h. in the mountains.
Any new fire will spread rapidly under these conditions, Robbie Munroe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Los Angeles office, said on Sunday. “The damaging winds will also likely lead to scattered downed trees, power lines and power outages,” he said.
Weather officials said the conditions are similar to those of early November, when dangerous winds belted Ventura County and fueled the Mountain fire, a nearly 20,000-acre inferno that damaged 243 structures, including homes.
The Weather Service issued a series of red flag warnings then, and in portions of Ventura and Los Angeles counties, the warning carried the rare designation of a “particularly dangerous situation.” This week’s warning for these counties uses the same strong message.
