President Joe Biden’s plan to sign proclamations creating two national monuments in California will be rescheduled due to inclement weather.

The event will now take place next week at the White House, allowing key stakeholders to attend, according to a pool report. Further details have not been released.

The National Weather Service in Los Angeles put out a warning Tuesday about potentially life-threatening wind storms in the area, which can increase the threat of wildfires starting and rapidly spreading.
