"Gusts of up to 65 mph are expected in mountains and valleys throughout the region, with the National Weather Service warning that power outages were possible and that residents should keep an eye out for downed trees and power lines. "Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles," according to an alert issued by the National Weather Service. The recent storms that drenched Southern California and soaked the soil could also "increase the likelihood of damage" caused by downed trees and power lines, the agency noted."
"The National Weather Service issued the advisory Sunday, warning that the western Santa Monica Mountains, Santa Susana Mountains, San Gabriel Mountains and the Interstate 5 and Highway 14 corridors could see strong winds starting Sunday evening, lasting until Monday afternoon. Winds between 20 to 30 mph are expected in those areas until Sunday evening. Wind speeds are then predicted to pick up until Monday afternoon, with northeast winds of up to 40 mph and gusts of up to 65 mph."
Gusts of up to 65 mph are forecast across Southern California mountains and valleys through Tuesday, with the strongest winds starting Sunday evening and lasting into Monday or Tuesday in some areas. The National Weather Service warned of possible power outages and urged residents to watch for downed trees and power lines. Winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected initially, then increasing to northeast winds up to 40 mph with gusts to 65 mph in certain corridors. Similar strong-wind alerts cover San Bernardino, Riverside and the Santa Ana Mountains with gusts up to 60 mph. Recent heavy rain saturated soils and increased the likelihood of damage and debris flows, which have already caused deadly storm-related incidents and washed through homes in Wrightwood.
