The most serious red flag fire weather warning has been issued by the NWS for swaths of L.A. and Ventura counties starting before dawn Tuesday.

Forecasters in Southern California expect to issue a 'particularly dangerous situation' red flag warning for the coming week as the Santa Ana wind forecast worsens.

Fires across the Los Angeles area have killed at least 25 people. The Palisades and Eaton fires continue to burn in Southern California.

Fueled by powerful winds and dry conditions, a series of ferocious wildfires erupted last week and roared across the Los Angeles area.

The particularly dangerous situation alert is relatively new to Southern California but has been issued before the recent wildfires that have caused devastation across LA County.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Multiple massive wildfires tore across the Los Angeles area with devastating force early Wednesday, destroying more than 1,000 structures and killing at least two people as desperate residents escaped through flames, ferocious winds and towering clouds of smoke.

A perfect storm of weather and climate conditions led to the severity of the wildfires devastating Southern California.

It occurred at about 11:05 p.m. about 10 miles northwest of Malibu, according to the United States Geological Survey​

A "life threatening" and "destructive" windstorm is expected from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning across much of the Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, according to the NWS. Areas that are not typically windy will also be impacted, the agency said.

Containment of the deadly Palisades Fire has grown to 52%, up overnight from 49%, and ahead of another Santa Ana wind event, which is expected to move into the region Monday with gusts of up to 60 mph.
