The gusts could reach as high as 30 mph in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are seeing elevated fire conditions through the Valley as a result of these gusty winds,\u201d Forrest said.<\/p>\n<p>The winds could also down tree branches and blow around items on a person\u2019s property that aren\u2019t secured. Sacramento was expected to reach 79 degrees Monday, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n<p>Winds reaching 35 mph are also possible in other parts of Northern California, including the Red Bluff and Chico areas.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">While west-southwest winds will start light this morning, gusty winds up 25 to 35 mph will be possible into the afternoon and evening hours.
