Weekend Weather: Warm and Windy

This weekend is going to be gorgeous in the Los Angeles area, with clear skies and warm temperatures, along with enough winds to prompt a wind advisory that is in effect until at least midday Saturday. The winds are warm and gusty--yep, they're Santa Ana winds--and will be blowing across portions of Ventura and LA counties, with the strongest winds through and below the passes and canyons. Temps over the weekend will be in the upper 70s and low 80s, and most of next week will likely be sunny and breezy.
