Fire officials say those winds have been fueling the blaze as it moves north.
The raging inferno continued its march Sunday across the San Gabriel Mountains and burned semi-rural properties in the community of Juniper Hills. The fire scorched 99,428 acres as of Sunday morning.
Containment of the blaze remains at 15%. Full containment is not expected until Oct. 30, officials say.
