As critical fire weather continues to strike in Southern California, crews are also tasked with preparing for a storm expected this weekend that could trigger mudslides in burn scar areas.

Santa Ana winds are expected to slightly decrease before ramping up again Wednesday evening in the Santa Clarita Valley.

“Currently, there are no SCE customers under consideration for a Public Safety Power Shutoff,” Gabriela Ornelas, spokesperson for SCE said. However, there are still customers without power due to previous PSPS. If SCE determines the need for a PSPS next week, customers are set to be notified before the lights go out.

Southern California will continue to face "dangerous fire weather conditions" including strong Santa Ana winds and extremely low humidity through later this week, forecasters said Tuesday.

As Santa Ana winds returned to Southern California, residents and first responders braced for another day of critical fire weather.

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

After a much quieter weekend, Southern California is experiencing a major shift in the weather pattern. The winds will peak Monday evening and overnight but extend into Tuesday morning.

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

As residents impacted by the Eaton and Palisades Fires were slowly returning to their homes — or where their homes used to be — another dangerous Santa Ana wind event is forecast to begin Monday that is expected to bring isolated gusts as high as 100 mph.

the 5 Freeway corridor near Castaic Lake and Santa Clarita, are expected to be the most impacted by the Hughes fire, which started near Castaic in the Antelope Valley and exploded to 10,176 acres.
