[NWS San Diego @NWSSanDiego]

A Particularly Dangerous Situation is expected for the highlighted portion of our area from 7AM - 1PM on Wednesday. Very strong gusts and low relative humidity will allow any fires that develop to spread VERY rapidly! Wind damage including downed trees expected in some spots!

[NWS San Diego @NWSSanDiego]

Santa Ana winds ramp up tonight into Tue. Gusts 60-70 mph+ expected for Cajon/Banning passes & wind prone areas in the SD mtns. Gusty winds will blow unsecured items around & cause difficult travel for high profile vehicles - secure umbrellas/inflatable reindeer & travel w/ care!
