Wind Advisory In Effect Through 1 PM Today

Sustained winds will be between 20 to 30 miles per hour and could gust to near 40 and even 50 miles per hour. Expect winds to increase this afternoon also, gusting to 45-55 along the beaches, 25-30 in town. High winds candown trees, damage property and cause fairly widespread power outages.

Strong winds are expected to pick up Sunday, with San Diego County mountains and deserts warned to brace for potentially damaging gusts overnight and into Monday.

Forecasters said the strong winds would continue past sunrise but gradually weaken later Monday morning.

A Pacific storm was expected to move through the Great Basin and then the Four Corners region today.

Along the Interstate 90 corridor from Deer Lodge to Butte, the highest winds are expected to happen between 2 and 6 a.m.

We don’t get much of a break by the time the next storm system arrives Thursday.

Generally, 1 to 4 inches with 3 to 6 inches possible along the Interstate 15 corridor from Fillmore to Cedar City. There will likely be renewed urban and small stream flooding in the lowlands, and landslide risk remains high.

Snow is headed for the high points of the Oregon Coast Range. Up to a 40 percent chance of rain is forecast today, with chances increasing to 50 percent tomorrow. A few say high pressure that would keep us dry will build, with the others keep the pattern active so the forecasts keep a chance of showers there through the weekend.
