LOS ANGELES—Southern California was bracing for a dangerous wind event early this week, as firefighters made more progress Sunday on the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires.
Forecasters took the rare step of issuing another “particularly dangerous situation” warning for a large portion of Los Angeles and Ventura counties Sunday afternoon due to damaging Santa Ana winds and very low humidity. One such wind event on Jan. 7 contributed to the start of the two major deadly fires burning in the region.
