Fresh off destructive wind and firestorms, the forecast remains daunting for Southern California with additional damaging Santa Ana wind threats and critical fire weather danger continuing at times over the next several days.

Red Flag Warnings remain in effect through Friday evening for much of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, the National Weather Service said.

The San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys are expected to see winds at 30 to 50 mph until Wednesday evening, with widespread gusts even higher, weather officials said
