Indoor and outdoor wood burning continues to be prohibited across most of the Southland today.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has extended a no burn order until midnight due to high levels of pollution in the air.
The no burn order applies to the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino — except for the desert areas.
And there's a coastal flood advisory for L.A. County beaches and the Malibu coast — expect flooding of water on low-lying areas like parking lots and beaches during high tides. High surf is expected to reach 7 feet. The advisory is in effect from 3 a.m. Wednesday to 3 p.m. Thursday.
