Get ready for some windy conditions tonight and tomorrow, thanks to the return of those hot and bothersome Santa Ana winds.

The National Weather Service says we can expect gusty northeast winds blowing through portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties Tuesday and into Wednesday. In the mountains, winds are likely to peak between 40 and 50 MPH, and in the valleys between 35 and 40 MPH.

A wind advisory has been issued for the area, and goes into effect at 10 p.m. tonight, and will hold through Noon Wednesday. The strongest winds are likely to blow our way late tonight and early tomorrow. Hold onto your hats!

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
