Fires erupt in Southern California as Santa Ana winds slam Los Angeles and Ventura counties

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A windstorm that forecasters described as potentially destructive and life-threatening is impacting a large swath of Southern California, dramatically raising the risk of wildfires for the next several days. Firefighters are battling a fire in the foothills of Pacific Palisades, a Los Angeles coastal neighborhood.

Beginning Tuesday afternoon, winds will affect Los Angeles and Ventura counties and peak in the early hours of Wednesday, when gusts could reach 80 mph, the National Weather Service said. Isolated gusts could top 100 mph in mountains and foothills.

Red flag warnings are in effect and will and remain in place until 6 p.m. Thursday for the Malibu coast, the Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, the San Gabriel Valley, the San Fernando Valley, Calabasas, the Santa Clarita Valley, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the 5 Freeway and 14 Freeway corridors.
