San Diego County will be hit by a second wave of Santa Ana winds Thursday night and early Friday that will pose a greater wildfire threat than the gusts that whipped parts of the region early Wednesday,

According to the National Weather Service, "a Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidity, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger." CAL FIRE San Diego said they've sent more than 80 firefighters of their own up to Los Angeles to help combat the wildfires,

Staff at senior care facilities in Ramona and the rest of East County are preparing for the possibility of power shutoffs with the strong Santa Ana winds and the potential fire risk.

Another round of Santa Ana winds has moved into Southern California and will spread south through San Diego County late Thursday. The additional dry air also is expected to worsen the region’s already very low humidity levels,

A short reprieve in the strong destructive winds has granted firefighters an opportunity to curb the spread of the deadly Eaton Fire near Pasadena.

Another round of Santa Ana winds is forecast to sweep into SoCal on Thursday night into Friday morning, putting most of the region under a critical fire risk, as emergency responders battle to contain quickly spreading wildfires.
