Southern California is heading into a day of its most extreme fire weather with bone-dry vegetation and strong Santa Ana winds that officials warn could turn a small blaze into a massive inferno.

A “particularly dangerous situation” warning is went into effect Monday at noon and will last through 10 o’clock this morning (tue) for parts of Los Angeles County and most of Ventura County — an unprecedented fifth time the National Weather Service has sounded the alarm this season for acute fire conditions.

The Palisades Fire remained 59% contained as of 7:00 a.m. Monday. It has burned more than 23,000 acres. 10 people are dead.

The Eaton Fire was 87% contained Monday morning after burning more than 14,000 acres. 17 people have died from that fire.
