Wind Advisories Begin Across Southern California Tuesday With Cooler Air and Light Rain Chances

Overview

• National Weather Service advisories cover mountains, deserts, and wind-prone passes with peak gusts forecast at 40 to 60 mph and 30 to 40 mph on valley floors.
• The Banning Pass stands out as a trouble spot where forecasters expect 50 to 60 mph gusts that could rock high-profile vehicles and kick up blowing dust.
• Temperatures trend down to near seasonal levels first, then cool further, with typical highs around 69 to 72 at the coast, 69 to 74 inland, 61 to 70 in the mountains, and 85 to 90 in the deserts.
• Light precipitation remains possible mainly west of the mountains as cloud cover increases, with only brief or spotty showers expected.
• Forecast models point to another low-pressure system later this week that could repeat the cooling, gusty westerly winds, and slight rain chances, though timing remains uncertain.
