Santa Ana winds, 'big warm up' ahead for Southern California
"Look for a big warm up as the offshore flow will combine with the sunny skies. Temperatures will warm each day through Sunday. Much of the area will see temperatures in the 80s Saturday and Sunday - about 10 to 15 degrees above normal for this time of year - while much of the coast will see highs reach into the 70s."
"The San Gabriel and Santa Susana mountains, including the Highway 14 Corridor, have been issued a high wind warning through Saturday, where gusts could hit up to 55 mph. The weather service warned that damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power outages are possible. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles."
"At lower elevations, winds will also be noticeable, with much of the region under a wind advisory through Saturday afternoon. Winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected across much of the Southland, and higher gusts are possible. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result."
Southern California will experience gusty, dry Santa Ana winds this weekend, bringing warm temperatures into the 80s across much of the region by Sunday, about 10 to 15 degrees above normal. The moderate Santa Ana wind event began Friday and will peak Saturday, with gusts potentially reaching 55 mph in mountain areas like the San Gabriel and Santa Susana mountains. High wind warnings have been issued for these elevated areas, where damaging winds could down trees and power lines, causing widespread power outages. Lower elevations will experience winds of 20 to 30 mph under wind advisories, with isolated gusts up to 65 mph possible in inland Orange County and San Bernardino County mountains. Coastal areas will see highs in the 70s.
