"The gusty conditions are expected to continue across Los Angeles and Ventura counties on Saturday with moderate to strong Santa Ana winds persisting through Sunday, the National Weather Service's area forecast said Saturday. The strongest winds will affect the San Gabriel and Santa Susana mountains, with "damaging gusts" reaching 60 to 70 mph."
"The weather service warns gusty winds can lead to "downed trees and powerlines as well as isolated power outages." Strong winds can make travel difficult, the advisory warned, urging residents to take extra caution, including watching for falling debris and trees and, in high-wind warning zones, remaining in the lower levels of their home during a windstorm and avoiding windows."
"The advisory said temperatures will continue to rise through the weekend, with widespread highs in the 80s. The Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday "could now see temperatures peak around 90 degrees by the end of the event." The weather service said conditions are likely to cool early next week but forecast a "temperature whiplash" with another warm and dry spell expected to start on Wednesday."
Severe Santa Ana winds are affecting Southern California on Saturday and Sunday, with the strongest gusts of 60-70 mph concentrated in the San Gabriel and Santa Susana mountains. High-wind warnings remain in effect through Saturday afternoon, with widespread wind advisories continuing through Sunday. Temperatures are rising into the 80s, potentially reaching 90 degrees during the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday. The gusty conditions pose hazards including downed trees and powerlines, isolated power outages, and difficult travel conditions. Officials warn of small fire activity potential and advise residents to exercise caution, avoid windows in high-wind zones, and watch for falling debris. Conditions are expected to cool early next week before another warm, dry spell begins Wednesday.
