Overview
- High wind warnings and advisories span parts of Los Angeles County, including the Antelope Valley, San Gabriel Mountains and I-5 corridor, with gusts up to 65–70 mph in wind‑prone areas.
- San Diego County shifts to offshore flow Friday, with Wind Advisories for mountains and inland neighborhoods through 1 p.m. Sunday and peak gusts of 40–60 mph, locally higher.
- Recent rains have left soils saturated, increasing the risk of downed trees, power lines and outages, and making travel difficult for high‑profile vehicles.
- Humidity drops to roughly 5–20% under the Santa Ana pattern, though forecasters note recent precipitation should help temper immediate critical fire danger.
- High Surf Advisories bring 10–15 ft breakers and dangerous rip currents to west‑facing beaches, while Freeze Warnings in some interior valleys and the Joshua Tree area signal overnight lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.
