Thursday’s Santa Ana winds are expected to taper off, however high wind advisories will stay in place.
Gusts could reach up to 70 miles per hour in the mountains and up to 30 miles per hour in the valleys Thursday night.
Here's the latest report of the strongest wind gusts over the last 24 hours:https://t.co/gdTWUpRfuF

“If there is any rain it's going to be very showery, but it's not going to be too much,” said Kristin Lund from the National Weather Service. “It'll be under an inch — under a half-inch at the coast and valleys and then maybe up to an inch in the mountains.”
The rain would come on the heels of two atmospheric rivers that doused California in early January.
Those storms caused flooding, evacuations, debris and mudslides. They even resulted in an increase in potholes.
In the San Gabriel Valley, reservoirs that filled up unexpectedly will now need major cleanups as well.
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.
