Fire-ravaged areas in Southern California are in desperate need of calm winds and days of soaking rain, but AccuWeather meteorologists predict more rounds of wind that will increase the wildfire risk once again. The extremely dry pattern that began in the spring of 2024 is expected to continue, with Los Angeles and San Diego facing record low rainfall levels. The dry conditions have left the landscape dry and susceptible to wildfires, fueled by various factors. While there will be some periods of decreased winds, more gusty conditions are expected in the coming week, exacerbating the fire risk. Firefighters may receive some weather assistance late Friday to Saturday, but a minor flare-up of winds is possible Saturday night. Strong winds are forecasted for Monday to Wednesday, potentially leading to significant wildfire dangers. The upcoming weather patterns will be critical in determining the severity and location of potential wildfires in Southern California.
