Overview

• The National Weather Service’s San Diego office issued the alert at 12:17 p.m. Thursday, effective from 6 a.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday for the San Gorgonio Pass.
• Forecasters warn gusty conditions could blow unsecured items, down tree limbs, and trigger isolated power outages.
• Driving could be difficult, particularly for trucks, buses, and vehicles towing trailers, so extra caution is advised.
• In the NWS three-tier system, a wind advisory signals conditions that warrant protective steps even though they fall short of a high wind warning.
• Residents are urged to secure outdoor objects, prepare an interior shelter and charged devices, take cover in sturdy buildings during strong winds, and report downed power lines once conditions ease.
