Santa Ana winds<\/a> are expected Sunday evening and could stick around until Monday morning.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t be particularly strong, said National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Hall, but there will likely be gusts ranging from 40 to 50 mph. The strongest winds are likely to hit western Los Angeles and eastern Ventura counties, affecting the areas of Malibu, Thousands Oaks, Porter Ranch and Santa Clarita.<\/p>\n

Recent rains have left soil and new vegetation wet, diminishing the threat of wildfire stoked by wind. And the speeds won\u2019t be nearly as severe as January\u2019s winds, which reached 100 mph in some places, feeding two major fires<\/a> on opposite sides of the county. Those destroyed and damaged thousands of homes in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena, leaving entire communities displaced for nearly a year.<\/p>\n

But Hall cautioned that the windy weather can always bring down power lines or tree branches, which can spark a fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe threat is minimized with the Santa Anas we\u2019re expecting. But we can\u2019t totally rule that out,\u201d Hall said about wildfire risk.<\/p>\n

The weather service is also monitoring for potential rain starting Wednesday afternoon across most of Southern California.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have a good handle on it at this point, but we\u2019re going to continue watching,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Santa Ana winds are expected Sunday evening and could stick around until Monday morning.
