The most serious red flag fire weather warning has been issued by the NWS for swaths of L.A. and Ventura counties starting before dawn Tuesday.

The latest warnings will be in place from early Tuesday morning until noon on Wednesday, when gusts from 45 to 70 miles an hour are expected to batter the region. While not as severe as those last week, which fueled the destructive Palisades and Eaton fires, these winds still pose a significant threat that large fires may spread quickly.

There are reports of soaring rental prices as 105,000 people remain under mandatory evacuation orders, and an additional 87,000 are under evacuation warnings.

Massive fires continue burning after igniting in the foothills of Pacific Palisades, and Altadena, forcing thousands to evacuate amid a life-threatening and destructive windstorm slamming Southern California.

Critical fire weather is expected to continue until Wednesday at the earliest, increasing the risk that fires will spread further.

Area hospitals stay operational to care for fire-related injuries, ensuring treatment for burns, smoke inhalation, and other wildfire-related health issues.

The Palisades Fire poses a serious threat to ocean health, causing pollution and long-term ecological damage during and after the wildfire's devastating impact.
