Firefighters holding Eaton, Palisades fires in check, but new wind event is on the way

The National Weather Service issued another red flag warning in Southern California on Sunday.

This is the fourth time in three months the NWS Los Angeles has issued the high-level alert, with the last one occurring last week when winds went up to 100 mph and the fires in Los Angeles County began.

Winds are expected to gust from 45 to 70 mph Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning.

The red flag warning is the highest level alert the agency is capable of issuing and is intended to invoke the highest level of urgency and attention.

Those rare alerts are typically issued for events that come about every five to 10 years.

Parcel and postal pickup for Pacific Palisades residents will be available starting Monday at Rancho Park Post Office located at 11270 Exposition Boulevard in West Los Angeles.

LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone says repopulation of evacuated fire zones is a priority, but won't happen until the next predicted red flag event ends on Wednesday.

"Please rest assured that first thing Thursday we will start talking about repopulation in evacuation and warning areas," he said during a Sunday news conference.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone shared an update on Sunday for residents of evacuated areas, saying conversations about lifting the mandate will not begin until after the red flag warning is lifted on Wednesday.

"I ask all Los Angeles County residents in the wildfire-prone areas to understand that the necessary public safety power shutoffs are important for our collective fire safety in preventing the next wildfire natural disaster," Marrone said.

LA County is under a red flag warning until 6 p.m. on Jan. 15, according to the National Weather Service.
