LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — The so-called particularly dangerous situations forecast by the National Weather Service are still coming, but they won’t be in Southern California until Wednesday.

The NWS announced Tuesday that there are particularly dangerous situations expected in the 5 Freeway corridor in northern Los Angeles County and in the San Fernando Valley and much of southern Ventura County.

Affected neighborhoods and cities include San Fernando, Porter Ranch, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo and Ventura, though fire conditions exist outside of the PDS zones as well.

“Do NOT do anything that could spark a fire,” the NWS added.
