4:09
Over 4,000 firefighters are battling four large wildfires that have burned over 83,000 acres. The newest fire, the Skirball fire in Los Angeles County, engulfed Interstate 405, one of America's busiest highways, and closed it for a time. The Creek fire, also in Los Angeles County, injured seven firefighters today. The Thomas Fire in Ventura County is the largest of the four, which started Tuesday morning and is still 0 percent contained.

High pressure over the Great Basin continues to bring dry, offshore winds to Southern California today although they are not as strong as Tuesday. Expect those winds to pick up again this evening, however, with the next major Santa Ana wind event is forecast to begin tonight and last through Thursday.

Red flag warnings remain in effect from Ventura to San Diego today, and extreme fire danger will continue in these areas through at least Friday.

By late tonight and especially into tomorrow morning, very strong wind gusts will return. Offshore sustained winds at 20 to 40 mph are expected with gusts of 60 to 80 mph. Wind advisories and high wind warnings are in effect until Friday afternoon when they will finally start to subside.
