The NWS has reissued a 'particularly dangerous situation' warning for swaths of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, cautioning of high wind gusts, dry air and a higher risk of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior.

"We are not out of the woods yet. Please stay on guard for a fast-moving fire," the weather service's Los Angeles office warned.

The threat of powerful wind gusts combined with bone-dry humidity in Los Angeles on Wednesday could pose a severe test for firefighters who have been battling to keep monstrous fires in check since last week.

Californians in the greater Los Angeles area are on edge as dangerous winds and temperatures are forecast. The Palisades and Eaton fires have killed at least 25 and destroyed thousands of homes.
