According to the seasonal outlook from the US Forest Service, the developing La Niña will bring warm temps and an increased possibility of Santa Ana winds to SoCal in the next two months:
So far this summer, the lingering affects of the El Niño have kept much of the state under a cool, onshore flow regime as low pressure remained over the Pacific Northwest. This pattern will likely give way to more of an amplified pattern this fall with high pressure developing over the Southwest. This would lead to above normal temperatures for the September into early October timeframe. It is during that period when large fire potential may be highest for the season. Later this fall, cooler than normal weather may occur November into early December.
Here's their graphic version. (La Niña, which influences the course of the Pacific jetstream, tends to bring heat, wind, and dryness to SoCal, but cooler, wetter conditions to NorCal, above I-80.)
The Forest Service predicts four or five big fires in SoCal this fall. [h/p: OC Science]
Could not of been any more wrong on that prediction guys. When you have such a small sample of data on an event. IE. El Nino/La Nina what do you expect? Much is unknown about the effects. La Nina also are responsible for the 3rd wettest year in Los Angeles record books.

Don’t think everything. Reverence issues with a range involving likelihood. The things which look nearly all silly, placed underneath ‘Low Probability’, along with the things which look nearly all plausible, anyone placed underneath ‘High Probability’. Certainly not consider everything. After you consider everything, anyone end thinking about it. Greater issues you suspect, your a lesser amount of mind task. In case you consider a thing, and still have a judgment in every single issue, after that your mental faculties task puts a stop to fully, and that is clinically deemed indicative involving loss of life, currently throughout health care train. Consequently placed issues with a range as well as chance, and don’t consider as well as disbelieve everything fully.
