The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the valleys and mountains until 4 p.m., saying sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph would be gusting up to 35 mph until then.

“Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for (motorists of) high profile vehicles — use extra caution,” according to an NWS advisory.
