Weather whiplash continues in Los Angeles County, where after weeks of dangerously warm and windy conditions, followed by sudden rainfall and small mudslides, the National Weather Service has issued a warning for a new threat — cold overnight temperatures that could pose a risk of hypothermia.

A high wind watch was issued by the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA on Saturday at 10:18 p.m. valid from Monday 4 p.m. until Tuesday noon.

Strong winds appeared to be blowing ash from the Eaton Fire over communities near Sierra Madre, helicopter reporter Gabe Santos reported.

Firefighters quickly extinguished a brush fire that erupted along the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley on Monday. The fire was reported at about 4 p.m. on a hillside next to the northbound lanes of the freeway in Granada Hills.

In less than a week, Southern California’s weather has gone from unseasonably dry and warm – to wet and now bitterly cold. The National Weather Service says the same low pressure system that brought rain to the region last weekend is “still spinning” and producing overnight low temperatures in the 30s

A particularly dangerous situation red flag warning is in place from noon Monday to 10 a.m. Tuesday local time for a large portion of Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

Southern California will continue to face "dangerous fire weather conditions" including strong Santa Ana winds and extremely low humidity through later this week, forecasters said Tuesday.

Thirteen years ago, the LAFD took the type of dramatic measures in preparation of dangerous winds that the department failed to employ last week in advance of the Palisades fire.

Weather forecasters expect showers to continue Monday but the heaviest rain is over, forecasters said. The National Weather Service said flooding was no longer expected to pose a threat in the Pacific Palisades burn scar and the far western San Fernando Valley.

Jan. 22, 10:30 a.m. PST Cal Fire data marked the Palisades Fire at 68% containment and the Eaton Fire at 91% containment, listing no other active fires in Los Angeles as a red flag warning is in effect for much the region until Friday evening.

The chance of significant flash flooding and debris flow was as high as 20% with more than an inch of rain expected through Monday The post Flood Watch Begins in Los Angeles Wildfire Areas as Forecasters Boost Projections for Rain appeared first on TheWrap.

The mountains and foothills of Los Angeles County are in “extreme drought” conditions, about 36% of the county, explained Pugh. That’s one category shy of hitting the highest level, “exceptional drought,” and three higher than the lowest, “abnormally dry.” The rest of the county is in severe drought.
