December is being blown in by high wind speeds, causing the National Weather Service to issue alerts for hazardous weather conditions in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The SCV was issued a wind advisory on Friday until 1 p.m.
“That wind flow is going to be related to whether or not we have pressure gradients,” said Rose Schoenfeld, a meteorologist with the NWS. “That’s meaning that we have high pressure north of that area (SCV), lower pressure below.”
The forecast is as follows:
- Friday night: A north wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph, wind gusts blowing as high as 25 mph, mostly clear and a low of around 47.
- Saturday: A northeast wind blowing at 5 to 10 mph, sunny and a high nearing 67.
- Saturday night: A north wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph, wind gusts blowing as high as 20 mph, partly cloudy and a low around 47.
- Sunday: A northeast wind blowing at 15 mph, wind gusts blowing as high as 20 mph, sunny and a high nearing 69.
- Sunday night: Partly cloudy and a low around 48.
- Monday: Mostly sunny, breezy and a high nearing 72.
- Monday night: Mostly clear and a low around 49.
The NWS has warned SCV of the following impacts: “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.”
