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.

As winds across the Southern California area are calmer than their peak and firefighters are making progress, the threat to the fire-weary region remains with Santa Ana winds expected to continue in the coming days.

Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

After a weekend of reprieve allowing fire teams to continue making progress battling the deadly infernos burning in Los Angeles County, Southern California now faces another round of fire-fueling Santa Ana winds.

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

Fire crews braced for a second round of strong Santa Ana winds this week. So far, eight deaths have been confirmed from the Palisades Fire.

Within a decade, more than 5,000 residents lived in Malibu. Architects warned of the danger of building in the area, known to be fire-prone, but local government declined to act. On Dec. 27, 1956, a wildfire broke out near Zuma Beach, eventually charring 26,000 acres and destroying 100 homes.

As Santa Ana winds returned to Southern California, residents and first responders braced for another day of critical fire weather.

With the Palisades and Eaton Fires still not fully contained, another dangerous Santa Ana wind event is forecast in Los Angeles for Monday-Thursday.

Forecasters in Southern California expect to issue a 'particularly dangerous situation' red flag warning for the coming week as the Santa Ana wind forecast worsens.
