Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (pictured) urged residents to follow evacuation orders as winds are expected to intensify, potentially worsening fire conditions.

She highlighted the Palisades area as especially vulnerable due to predicted wind spikes early in the week. "We need people to carefully follow instructions and not try to wait out the fires," she said.

Stronger gusts are expected Monday through Wednesday, with peaks of 50-60 mph on Tuesday, complicating firefighting efforts.
