Meanwhile, a "particularly dangerous situation" red flag warning is also in place from 10 p.m. Monday through 2 p.m. Tuesday in those same areas due to Santa Ana winds, low humidity and extremely dry vegetation.

Southern California is bracing for another round of strong, potentially dangerous Santa Ana winds just over a month after a similar wind event helped fuel the Mountain Fire, which scorched nearly 20,000 acres in Ventura County and sent residents scrambling for safety as flames closed in.

The National Weather Service warned Southern Californians to brace for "extremely rare and dangerous" fire weather conditions through the beginning of the week.
