Hold onto your hat. It's about to get windy in the San Francisco Bay Area.
An off-shore wind event that's more typical in the fall than winter is expected to develop Friday, with sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph and isolated gusts up to 70 mph, the National Weather Service said. These northerly to northeasterly winds blow from inland valleys toward the coast.
"We are expecting the strongest winds regionwide will be tonight into Saturday morning," said Brooke Bingaman, a forecaster with the weather service."The strongest winds will be at the highest elevations, and the peak gusts could range from 50 to 70 mph. As those winds mix down into the valleys including San Francisco, we could see sustained gusts in the valleys of 15 mph to 30 mph, with isolated gusts possible around 40 mph to 50 mph.
