BREAKING: Powerful Winds to Batter San Bernardino and Riverside Valleys Until Wednesday Evening

The National Weather Service in San Diego has issued a Wind Advisory for the San Bernardino and Riverside County Valleys, including the Inland Empire, effective from October 2 at 12:25 PM PDT until October 3 at 6:00 PM PDT. The advisory warns of sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, which could cause downed trees, power outages, and difficult driving conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles.

The advisory comes as a strong high-pressure system moves into the region, creating gusty Santa Ana winds. The NWS advises residents to secure loose outdoor objects, avoid parking under trees, and use extra caution while driving. Local utilities are on standby to address potential power outages. This event follows a series of wind advisories in the area over the past month, highlighting an active fall wind season.

Impacts are expected to be widespread across the Inland Empire, with the strongest winds forecast for passes and canyons.
