Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to hit Southern California throughout the weekend and into next week which will increase chances for critical fire weather across Los Angeles and Ventura County, according to the National Weather Service.
What to know: Beginning Sunday night and into Monday, Santa Ana winds are expected to swing across Los Angeles County mountains, with wind gusts up to 60 mph. Other wind-prone areas in L.A. and Ventura County could see gusts up to 50 mph.
How this impacts fire weather: Due to dry fuels and low humidity, the expected winds can spark off fires more easily and increase the chances of their spread.
