Tonight's lows will drop to low 50s, and the upper 40s for the valleys. Taking a look ahead — the National Weather Service forecasts a Santa Ana wind event on Thursday.

A wind advisory has been issued for the high desert starting at 3 p.m. until midnight, specifically Apple and Lucerne valleys, including San Gorgonio Pass near Banning where west winds will range between 25 to 35 mph, some gusts reaching up to 55 mph.

This day in history

On this day in 1982 a thunderstorm storm produced severe lightning strikes.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
