Extreme fire weather returns to Southern California - particularly Los Angeles and Ventura counties - as winds of up to 100 mph have prompted the most urgent warning from the National Weather Service.
It feels a bit like deja vu but Southern California is stuck in a weather pattern that has consistently brought the threat of powerful Santa Ana winds and fire danger.
After a much quieter weekend, Southern California is experiencing a major shift in the weather pattern. The winds will peak Monday evening and overnight but extend into Tuesday morning.
