Southern California will continue to face "dangerous fire weather conditions" including strong Santa Ana winds and extremely low humidity through later this week, forecasters said Tuesday.

According to AccuWeather, a storm sliding south along the California coast from Friday to Sunday could bring some much-needed rainfall.

After a weekend of reprieve allowing fire teams to continue making progress battling the deadly infernos burning in Los Angeles County, Southern California now faces another round of fire-fueling Santa Ana winds.

As critical fire weather continues to strike in Southern California, crews are also tasked with preparing for a storm expected this weekend that could trigger mudslides in burn scar areas.

"A strong Santa Ana Wind event is expected to develop Monday and last through at least Tuesday," the National Weather Service said.

Santa Ana winds return to Southern California from Monday to Tuesday, once again raising fire danger concerns.

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

The fire is burning near Castaic Lake, a reservoir about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Many Californians know the area as the home of the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park. It is north of the Palisades fire, which has consumed more than 23,000 acres since it started more than two weeks ago.
