die down

By Thursday, winds began to die down, helping firefighters.

On Saturday, the weather was cooperating with some 3,000 fire personnel working the blaze — as the winds died down and relative humidity levels rose.

“My hope is that this will die down after four years, if not earlier, and the number 47 won’t be associated with any particular politicians,” he said.

By late Monday into Tuesday, the winds are expected to die down across the Southland before forecasters are calling for a second wind event, which is expected to hit Northern California first.

Rick Canepa, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Bay Area station, said winds in the area of the Keller fire peaked around 20 mph, but had died down Sunday morning.
