A rare alert called a "Particularly Dangerous Situation" is in effect Wednesday for parts of fire-ravaged southern California. The National Weather Service initially issued the warning for Tuesday but extended it after Tuesday’s conditions were less hazardous than expected.

The Eaton and Palisades fires are now the most destructive wildfires in Southern California history, according to Cal Fire. Follow for live updates.

The National Weather Service's warning about the “particularly dangerous situation” in which any new fire could explode in size in the Los Angeles area didn’t mention fire tornadoes.

The threat of powerful wind gusts, combined with bone-dry humidity, in Los Angeles on Wednesday could test firefighters who have been battling to keep monstrous fires in Los Angeles in check since last week.
