LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Another round of potentially damaging Santa Ana winds will batter much of the region starting Monday and lingering into mid-week, and will combine with low humidity to create dangerous wildfire conditions. The conditions are expected to peak late Monday night into Tuesday afternoon. In anticipation, the National Weather Service has issued another rare “particularly dangerous situation red flag warning” from 10 p.m. Monday to 2 p.m. Tuesday for the San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Monica Mountains, Santa Clarita Valley, Western San Fernando Valley, Calabasas, the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway corridor and the Malibu coast.

SB 270 banned single-use plastic bags, but still allowed stores to distribute “reusable” plastic bags. However, observers say the thicker plastic bags weren’t actually being reused or recycled. The amount of plastic bags disposed of by residents in

Southern California was battered by an atmospheric river storm Thursday, bringing record-breaking rain, mudslides and, potentially, a tornado. Oxnard experienced strong winds, which tore the roofs off of homes at a mobile home park in the College Park neighborhood around 3:30 p.m. The National Weather Service is investigating the possibility that the damage was caused by a tornado, though straight-line winds were also capable of similar destruction. Crews are expected to inspect the site Friday morning. Tornadoes are rare in California, though they do occur.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California has reached a milestone of two million zero-emission vehicles sold, maintaining its position as the nation’s leader in clean vehicle adoption. The achievement comes as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to revive the state’s clean vehicle rebate program if the incoming Trump administration eliminates federal tax credits for zero-emission vehicles. The state crossed the two million vehicle threshold just over two years after surpassing one million zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales. During the third quarter of 2024, Californians purchased 115,897 ZEVs, accounting for 26.4% of all new vehicle sales in the state. “Consumers continue to prove the

Firefighters continue to make progress containing the Palisades and Eaton Fires Monday, after the blazes spent almost a week out of control. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the Eaton Fire was one-third contained. Meanwhile, the Palisades Fire is hovering around 14% containment. The Kenneth, Sunset, and Lidia Fires are all 100% contained, and the figure for the Hurst sits at 89%. But readers may find this nomenclature confusing. When authorities report that a fire is “contained,” it does not necessarily mean it has been extinguished. According to Cal Fire, “containment is a measure of the amount of line around a wildfire.

According to recent research from experts at the University of California, Los Angeles and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, higher temperatures brought on by anthropogenic climate change have turned an ordinary drought in the American West into the “exceptional” category, with greater evaporation contributing more than a lack of rainfall. The study, published in Science Advances, found that evaporation accounted for 61% of drought severity in the West from 2020 to 2022, while reduced precipitation contributed 39%. “Research has already shown that warmer temperatures contribute to drought, but this is, to our knowledge, the first study that actually shows

The project would generate more than 250,000 acre-feet of potable water annually to serve over half a million households. “Supporting wastewater recycling infrastructure at scale now would be a strategic investment to address immediate water supply

LOS ANGELES — Despite Air Quality Index readings showing “healthy” or “moderate” levels across Los Angeles County, experts warn these measurements do not fully capture health risks from recent urban fires and high winds. Air quality specialists and public health officials say the Air Quality Index, or AQI, fails to measure specific toxic particles released by burning structures, even when air appears clear to residents. “The AQI is not reliable for this situation,” said Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at the University of California-Davis. “And you can’t see it.
