...STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY...
A DEVELOPING PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MARCH INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TO START THE WEEK AND FORECAST TO QUICKLY
PLUNGE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN ON TUESDAY. THE TRACK OF

CALIFORNIA BUT IS THE KIND OF STORM THAT BRINGS A LOT OF WIND TO
THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERT REGION.
NORTHERLY WINDS GUSTING TO AS MUCH AS 70 MPH ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERT BEGINNING ON TUESDAY AND CONTINUING INTO
WEDNESDAY. IF THIS STORM CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AS FORECAST...THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH WIND WATCHES AND WARNINGS WILL LIKELY BE
ISSUED IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.
WIDESPREAD WINDS OF THIS STRENGTH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE
DAMAGE TO UNSECURED PROPERTY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT HIGH PROFILE
VEHICLES THROUGH MOUNTAIN PASSES. EXPECT REDUCED VISIBILITY IN
SOME AREAS...ESPECIALLY THE ANTELOPE VALLEY...DUE TO BLOWING DUST
AND SAND. BE PREPARED FOR SUDDEN GUSTY CROSS WINDS WHICH CAN CAUSE
VEHICLE LOSS OF CONTROL.
IN ADDITION...THE PASSAGE OF THE DRY COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY WILL
RESULT IN MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
MAY BE AS MUCH AS 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN THOSE RECORDED ON MONDAY.
