A high wind warning is in effect for the Los Angeles area from 4 p.m. Tuesday to 6 p.m. Wednesday. As of 5:24 a.m., the fiercest winds, at up to 79 mph, have been reported in the San Gabriel Mountains at the Mount Lukens Truck Trail above La Cañada Flintridge.

Parts of Southern California, including Los Angeles, are under an extreme fire risk on Wednesday as Santa Ana winds continue to impact the region. The threat will lessen slightly on Thursday before ramping up again later in the week.

On social media, the National Weather Service even called it "life-threatening" and warned that areas not typically affected by big wind events won't be spared. The National Weather Service also said turbulence could force delays at LAX, Hollywood Burbank and Long Beach airports.
