The agency scheduled a wind advisory from 2 to 10 p.m. During that time, driving could difficult, especially for motorists in high-profile vehicles, and blowing debris and sand may cause damage to windshields and signs, according to the NWS.
The windy weather is due to a trough moving inland to the north this afternoon and evening, creating strong onshore pressure gradients and resulting in stronger-than-normal winds through and to the east of the Banning Pass, according to the NWS.
