Orange County and the Inland Empire could see gusts up to 100 mph when Santa Ana winds peak in the region Thursday.
As a strong, cold weather system moves south across the Great Basin, much of California will be lashed by gusty, dangerous winds that are likely to down trees and knock out power. The National Weather Service issued wind advisories — including high wind warnings — from late Wednesday through Friday stretching from the northern Sierra to the Orange County coast, including the Sacramento Valley, the Mojave Desert, the mountains in Los Angeles County and much of the Central Coast.
“Today we’ll see some northerly winds,' Kittell said Wednesday, noting that wind speeds are expected in the 30-mph to 50-mph range, mostly affecting the 5 Freeway corridor, along the Grapevine and through the Santa Monica Mountains.
