The Hughes Fire continues to burn as Santa Ana winds are expected to continue Thursday. A new fire broke out Thursday morning, dubbed the Sepulveda Fire. Here's the latest on both.

An arson suspect was arrested in connection to a brush fire in Griffith Park after firefighters quickly put out the small blaze.

The Santa Ana winds are dry, powerful winds that blow down the mountains toward the Southern California coast. The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.

The National Weather Service issued a "particularly dangerous situation" alert for Los Angeles and Ventura counties as another dangerous wind event is expected this week.

The Santa Anas are expected to be most powerful Monday night into Tuesday. Fire services across the region say they are ready.

With the Palisades and Eaton Fires still not fully contained, another dangerous Santa Ana wind event is forecast in Los Angeles for Monday-Thursday.

Residents and firefighters across Southern California braced for another round of fierce Santa Ana winds on Tuesday.

A "particularly dangerous situation warning'' has been issued for L.A. and Ventura counties due to dangerous winds and very low humidity.

Gusts of up to 70 mph are possible along the coast and valleys, and in the mountains, up to 100 mph, the National Weather Service said. Parts of L.A. County, and most of Ventura County, are at highest risk.

Strong winds are a major concern for firefighters hoping to make quick work of extinguishing the largest wildfire burning in Los Angeles.

Even as Santa Ana winds continued to blast parts of the Southland, helping to fuel a new brush fire in the Castaic area, local authorities turned their attention Wednesday to the possibility of rain hitting the area this weekend,

Santa Ana winds will continue whipping through Southern California through Thursday, sparking fears that progress made fighting wildfires that have scorched over 40,000 acres and left 28 dead could be reversed and more blazes could break out.
