Strong winds return to Southern California; crews on high alert

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The National Weather Service issued a "particularly dangerous situation warning'' for a large portion of Los Angeles and Ventura counties due to damaging Santa Ana winds and very low humidity.

That warning in effect from noon Monday until 10 a.m. Tuesday for the Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley including Calabasas and Agoura Hills, Malibu coast, western Santa Monica Mountains recreation area, the Interstate 5 corridor, San Gabriel Valley and north of the 210 Freeway including Altadena and Glendora.

Additionally, Los Angeles County will be under a red flag warning for extreme fire danger from 8 a.m. Monday morning through 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Forecasters say a "moderate to strong'' Santa Ana wind event is expected, with isolated gusts of 80 to 100 mph expected in most wind-prone mountain locations, such as the San Gabriel, western Santa Monica and Santa Susana Mountains, according to the NWS.

The city of Los Angeles declared that red-flag parking restrictions would go into effect at 8 a.m. Monday and remain in effect until further notice. The city of Pasadena issued similar restrictions.
