Overview
- The National Weather Service has high wind warnings in place through 1 p.m. Sunday for the Santa Susana and San Gabriel Mountains and the Highway 14 corridor, with projected northeast winds of 25 to 40 mph and gusts up to 70 mph.
- Wind advisories cover additional areas including the I-5 corridor near Santa Clarita, Ventura County mountains, the Inland Empire, and San Diego County mountains and inland neighborhoods, with sustained winds of 20 to 35 mph and gusts generally 40 to 60 mph.
- A 70 mph gust was recorded at Cuyamaca Peak in San Diego County, and forecasters caution that the strongest winds will funnel through mountain passes and coastal gaps.
- Recent heavy rain has saturated soils, reducing wildfire risk but increasing the likelihood of downed trees and power lines, and authorities warn of possible power outages and falling debris.
- Travel will be hazardous for high-profile vehicles—especially along the Grapevine on I-5, below the Cajon Pass on I-10, and on Highways 210 and 66—after winds earlier overturned a tractor-trailer near Pyramid Lake.
