2025 Wildfire Season: Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Red Flag Warnings in LA County (July 14th)


Direct link to video from NBCLA on YouTube

When I posted yesterday, January 13th about the wildfire situation in Los Angeles County, I included a graphic warning of Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Red Flag Warnings from the National Weather Service in Los Angeles from 4 AM Tuesday January 14th through Noon on Wednesday January 15th. The NWS in Los Angeles updated their PDS Red Flag Warning yesterday after I posted on January 13th. See the graphic below.


I wanted to give you more information about how the NWS defines a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) as relates to Red Flag Warnings. The video I shared is good, they explain about Santa Ana Winds and then discuss what a PDS is.
