LOS ANGELES—After a week of often-oppressive heat, cooler temperatures were expected to give the Southland a cool-down starting Wednesday, but forecasters warned that the fire danger will remain elevated in some areas due to continued dry conditions.
A red flag warning of heightened fire danger will be in effect until noon Wednesday for the San Gabriel Mountains, the Antelope Valley foothills, and the 5 and 14 freeway corridors
