Following the passage of the low pressure system to our north today, a significant increase in west to northwest flow will bring gusty winds later today and tonight to portions of the Central Coast, as well as southern Santa Barbara County, the Antelope Valley, and the mountains, especially the Santa Ynez Range and I5 corridor where wind advisories are in effect with winds up to 55 mph. Not quite as windy across the eastern portion of the San Gabriels where the Bridge Fire is burning but likely some gusts up to around 30 mph there by evening.
