High winds that threaten the worst fire conditions in “recent memory” in California could start to subside by late Thursday, giving the region a break from blackouts.
Wind gusts could reach 80 miles (129 kilometers) per hour across parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, the National Weather Service said. While the worst conditions will be in Southern California, high winds capable of whipping flames are expected to span almost the entire state.
