LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — Southern California residents are expecting fire conditions to flare up again this week, but residents of who areas in particular should remain on guard, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS announced that there are particularly dangerous situations expected in the 5 Freeway corridor in northern Los Angeles County and in the San Fernando Valley and much of southern Ventura County. Those conditions are expected to last between 4 a.m. Tuesday and noon Wednesday.
“Do NOT do anything that could spark a fire,” the NWS added.
Affected neighborhoods and cities include San Fernando, Porter Ranch, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo and Ventura.
While the winds are expected to be “weaker than those last week,” winds “will be strong enough to potentially cause explosive fire growth,” officials said.
Those gusts could be between 45 mph and 70 mph, strong enough to cause local damage.
While winds are not expected to be as strong in other parts of the region, low humidity can be expected everywhere, meaning fire conditions will be present throughout Southern California.
