Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to continue across parts of Los Angeles County for much of the week, forecasters said Monday.
The National Weather Service extended a wind advisory until at least 1 p.m. Monday in large swaths of Los Angeles County, including Malibu, Pacific Palisades, the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys.
The advisory was originally expected to expire Sunday, but was extended Sunday afternoon.
An advisory for Orange County will continue until at least 2 p.m. Monday.
“Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result,” forecasters said. “Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Use extra caution.”
Northeast winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph are expected.
Temperatures will warm a few degrees each day this week, peaking Wednesday and Thursday when highs may be in the 80s in some valley areas and close to daily records, according to the NWS.
