(KRON) -- Another powerful windstorm is forecast to hit Southern California before firefighters are able to fully contain two deadly and destructive wildfires. Between Tuesday and Wednesday, Santa Ana winds will gust up to 70 mph and create a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) in the fire-ravaged region, the National Weather Service said. Last week's windstorm on January 7 fanned flames of the Eaton Fire and Palisades, destroying thousands of homes were destroyed and killing dozens of victims. As of Monday afternoon, the 23,700-acre Palisades Fire was only 14 percent contained, and the 14,117-acre Eaton Fire was 33 percent contained.

When the new windstorm peaks, areas within the PDS will still have a high risk for "large fires with very rapid fire spread, extreme fire behavior, and long range spotting," according to NWS. Southern California's "extremely critical" fire weather conditions are amplified by a combination of gusty northeast winds, very low humidity, tinder dry fuel on the ground, and lack of winter rainfall, forecasters said. The PDS will remain in effect between 4 a.m. Tuesday until Wednesday afternoon. A palm tree burns during the Palisades Fire on January 7, 2025.

"We could face another round of hurricane-force wind gusts in some places this week. Powerful wind gusts could ground some firefighting aircrafts at times, which makes it more difficult for crews to contain wind-driven fires.”  (Graphic courtesy National Weather Service) Northern Los Angeles County and Ventura County fall within the PDS zone, including the San Gabriel mountains, I-5 corridor, Ventura valleys, Western Santa Monicas, San Fernando Valley, and Ventura County coastal plain. "One big change to the forecast was the addition of Wind Warnings to the Santa Clarita Valley, western Santa Monicas, and the Malibu coast," the NWS wrote. Red Flag conditions with weaker winds are anticipated for many other areas between San Luis Obispo and San Diego. Fire crews are preparing for potential flares up and new fires this week. The most dangerous day for potential fires igniting will be Tuesday, fire behavior analyst Dennis Burns warned. "While smoke has cleared in most of the areas impacted by the Eaton and Palisades Fires, evacuations and curfews remain in place. Officials are maintaining these precautions to prepare for potential fire activity, complete damage inspections, complete critical infrastructure repairs, and address hazards like fallen trees and downed utility lines. Crews are working around the clock," Cal Fire officials wrote. There are about 15,000 firefighters and 2,500 California National Guard members deployed in Los Angeles, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

There has been no significant rainfall in LA within the past eight months. One small spark can ignite a wildfire. How to help those impacted by the LA wildfires Cal Fire officials are asking residents to report any suspicious activities that appear to be arson. "If you see something, say something. Cal Fire and our law enforcement partners are committed to preventing and prosecuting acts of arson," fire officials wrote. Cal Fire's Arson Hotline can be reached by calling 1-800-468-4408.
