Strong Santa Ana winds are whipping San Diego County ahead of cold weekend storm
Dry Santa Ana winds out of the northeast gusted to nearly 90 in the San Diego County mountains before dawn Thursday and are spreading toward the coast, where the winds could hit 30 mph to 40 mph, the National Weather Service said.
The windstorm is expected to peak around noon and it could affect play at the Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines. The winds also could shake commercial jetliners at San Diego International Airport. Through 8 a.m., the weather service had recorded gusts of 88 mph at Sill Hill in the Cuyamac mountains, 81 mph at Laguna Launch, an area near Mount Laguna, 79 mph at Mount Laguna, 79 mph at Crestwood, 73 mph at Palomar Mountain, 69 mph on Sunrise Highway, 58 mph at Descanso and 52 mph at Julian.The Santa Anas will be followed this weekend by a modest storm that will drop 0.25 inches of rain at the coast, 0.50 inches across inland valleys and foothills and one inch in the mountains.
The storm is composed of very cold air from Canada that will prevent daytime high temperatures from rising above the mid-to-upper 50s Sunday through Tuesday at the coast and the low 50s across inland valleys. Temperatures could drop into the 30s at the coast on Tuesday night.
