Southern California weather forecasters are keeping an eye on an incoming system expected to bring more dangerous winds and low humidity starting Jan. 20 to the same region struck by catastrophic wildfires last week.

Los Angeles and Ventura counties could be hit with more red-flag warnings, indicating extreme fire danger, as humidity is expected to dip below 10 percent and Santa Ana winds could reach 50 miles per hour, according to the local office of the National Weather Service.
