Strong Winds Could Bring Power Outages To Pacific Palisades

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Windy weather will be returning to the Palisades
Tuesday night, with forecasters expecting it to last until midday Wednesday. The National Weather Service expects wind speeds around 15-25 mph, with occasional gusts of up to 40 mph.

NWS said the strongest winds will blow in the northwestern portion of the San Fernando Valley, along with the eastern Ventura County Valleys. The agency cautioned the winds could make for dangerous driving conditions on roads and freeways in the area, especially on Pacific Coast Highway.

"Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may
result. This includes the Pacific Coast Highway."

The wind advisory will go into effect at 8 p.m. and will last until noon Wednesday, unless extended. NWS advised residents to take extra care behind the wheel, and secure outdoor objects to prevent them from blowing over.

Wednesday calls for sunny skies with a high of 69 degrees, before dropping to 52 degrees overnight. Thursday will bring cloudy skies and cooler temperatures in the upper 50s.
