After a brief respite on Saturday, gusty winds from the north and northeast are expected to return to the Los Angeles area as early as Sunday. That could be the start to as many as three Santa Ana wind events next week, officials said. Firefighters continue to battle multiple major wildfires across the region and much of Los Angeles County remains under a red flag warning through Friday night.
Firefighters were hopeful the lull in the winds on Saturday would help them lay down fire lines and boost containment of the two massive fires, as well as several other smaller blazes burning across the region, before they starting kicking up again. At least 10 people have died in the fires and officials say it’s likely the death count will rise.
