Fire Weather Warning goes back into effect Monday as Santa Ana Winds return to Southern California

As Southern California shifts into recovery mode after the devastating wildfires, residents should stay on alert on Monday and Tuesday with high winds returning.

The National Weather Service has issued another Red Flag Warning from 10 a.m. Monday to 10 p.m. Tuesday for much of inland Southern California, including parts of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

The warning comes as a result of projected high winds across the region combined with dry humidity — the same recipe that contributed to the rapid spread of the Palisades and Eaton fires.

Peak gusts were expected to reach the high 40 or low 50 mile per hour range in areas such as Orange County, the San Gabriel Valley and the Inland Empire.

According to the NWS, the winds will likely be enough for Southern California Edison to send power shutoff warnings to some customers at some point in the early week.
