Santa Ana Winds Lash Southern California With 80+ mph Gusts as Advisories Extend Into Monday

Saturated soils now pose a greater threat of falling trees than fire danger.

Overview

  • Wind advisories and targeted high wind warnings remain in effect in passes and mountains into Sunday, with the Inland Empire under an advisory through Monday afternoon, the NWS said.
  • Peak gusts reached 88 mph at Sill Hill in San Diego County, with 82 mph at Big Black Mountain and 76 mph at Cuyamaca Peak, and 72 mph recorded in Fontana.
  • Authorities reported travel hazards and scattered outages, including an overturned tractor-trailer on the I-5 near Pyramid Lake and a toppled big rig in Jurupa Valley.
  • Northeast winds of roughly 20–30 mph with higher gusts will persist in wind-prone corridors as conditions gradually ease.
  • Forecasters expect a warming trend under high pressure, with dry weather and highs rising into the 70s and low 80s by midweek.
