As fires in the region remain uncontained, L.A. officials say they’re “ready” for an incoming new round of strong winds.

If any fires start, there is potential for rapid growth. And with the Palisades and Eaton fires still burning, “these winds can definitely stir up some of those hot spots and kind of reignite the fires,” Kittell said. Winds could wax and wane throughout the alert period, forecasters caution.
