The National Weather Service says predicted strong winds are developing later than expected Tuesday but they’re coming, as firefighters work to hold and expand containment lines around the Palisades and Eaton fires.

The Hughes Fire continues to burn as Santa Ana winds are expected to continue Thursday. A new fire broke out Thursday morning, dubbed the Sepulveda Fire. Here's the latest on both.

An arson suspect was arrested in connection to a brush fire in Griffith Park after firefighters quickly put out the small blaze.

The Santa Ana winds are dry, powerful winds that blow down the mountains toward the Southern California coast. The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.

The National Weather Service issued a "particularly dangerous situation" alert for Los Angeles and Ventura counties as another dangerous wind event is expected this week.

With the Palisades and Eaton Fires still not fully contained, another dangerous Santa Ana wind event is forecast in Los Angeles for Monday-Thursday.

Santa Ana winds returned to the Los Angeles area on Tuesday, threatening to reverse progress made in the battle against deadly wildfires.

The Santa Anas are expected to be most powerful Monday night into Tuesday. Fire services across the region say they are ready.

Gusts of up to 70 mph are possible along the coast and valleys, and in the mountains, up to 100 mph, the National Weather Service said. Parts of L.A. County, and most of Ventura County, are at highest risk.

Santa Ana winds are hot, dry winds that blow in from the northeast. They pick up speed as they hit the mountains around LA, and send humidity levels plunging, further upping the fire risk.

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.

A "particularly dangerous situation warning'' has been issued for L.A. and Ventura counties due to dangerous winds and very low humidity.
