Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.
With the Palisades and Eaton Fires still not fully contained, another dangerous Santa Ana wind event is forecast in Los Angeles for Monday-Thursday.

Southern California is facing fierce fires fueled by the Santa Ana winds, which threaten homes and put firefighters to the test.
As a school committed to sustainability, it is crucial to educate students about the factors that made these fires so devastating.
New studies are finding the fingerprints of climate change in the Eaton and Palisades wildfires, which made some of extreme climate conditions — higher temperatures and drier weather — worse.
The Santa Ana winds tend to cause the same corridors to burn over and over again. Experts say the region needs to adapt.
There were more than 2,400 personnel assigned to battle the fire. All evacuation warnings were lifted Sunday afternoon, but some mandatory orders remain in place.
A new study finds that the region's extremely dry and hot conditions were about 35 percent more likely because of climate change.
Extreme conditions helped fuel the fast-moving fires that destroyed thousands of homes. Scientists are working to figure out how climate change played a role in the disaster.
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 hot, dry and windy conditions that preceded the Southern California fires were about 35% more likely because of climate change, according to a new report.
