A high wind warning remains in effect for many areas of LA County as gusts are expected up to 60 mph, with a less-severe wind advisory covering other parts of the region.
LADWP crews work on removing large tree branches Thursday, March 14, 2024, that also took down utility lines and damaged vehicles on the 16700 block of Victory Boulevard in the Lake Balboa area of the San Fernando Valley as Santa Ana winds continued blowing through Southern California.
The winds picked up dramatically in many areas overnight, resulting in numerous reports of large trees falling, including one in the Lake Balboa area of the San Fernando Valley that brought down utility lines and damaged as many as 10 cars. Downed trees were also reported in areas including San Fernando, Pasadena and Burbank, but there were no immediate reports of any injuries.
There will be a slight chance of some showers in LA County Friday, “and even a 10%-15% percent chance of a thunderstorm,” according to the NWS.
