A rare Particularly Dangerous Situation warning has been issued for Southern California as a powerful and potentially damaging Santa Ana wind event​ is expected.

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

California Governor Gavin Newsom has deployed fire engines, water-dropping aircraft and hand crews across the region—to enable a rapid response if a new fire does break out, according to The Associated Press.

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

The Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles has issued an advisory warning Filipinos in LA about the extreme fire risk in the region.

More Santa Ana winds blew into Southern California, again raising wildfire danger even as crews continued their efforts Tuesday to fully contain a pair of massive blazes that erupted amid erratic winds earlier this month,

PACIFIC PALISADES - The deadly Palisades Fire was 61% contained Tuesday ahead of another dangerous Santa Ana wind event that could bring isolated gusts as high as 100 mph. Forecasters took the rare step of issuing a "particularly dangerous situation warning" for a large portion of Los Angeles and Ventura counties due to damaging Santa Ana winds and very low humidity.

Firefighters face the threat of another "particularly dangerous situation" weather warning that could affect growing efforts to contain the Palisades and Eaton fires, and could spark new wildfires.
