The latest Santa Ana winds will return Monday, with the strongest gusts expected Monday night into Tuesday morning, as Los Angeles fires continue to burn.

Another round of fire weather could last for much of next week in Southern California, bringing new dangers as Pacific Palisades, Altadena and surrounding communities struggle to assess the damage of devastating wildfires earlier this month.

Winds have died down in recent days, but another Santa Ana wind event is expected early next week. There are still air quality concerns, particularly closer to the burn areas. LOS ANGELES - Calmer winds over the last few days have allowed firefighters to drastically increase the containment of two major wildfires burning in Los Angeles County.

Although the cause of each blaze has yet to be determined, they all burned in or near foothill communities amid gusty winds and dry air and vegetation.

Frustrated Los Angeles County evacuees are anxious to return to their houses to survey damage, retrieve necessities, figure out what their insured losses are and assess what can be salvaged of their remaining property.
