Another Santa Ana event to target Southern Calif. this weekend
By (0)
Only a handful of days after gusty winds last buffeted portions of Southern California, another Santa Ana event is set to ramp up across the region this weekend.
High pressure will build across the northern Rockies throughout the day on Saturday and reach its maximum strength by Saturday night.
Advertisement The clockwise flow around the high will cause a northeasterly wind to push into Southern California, the classic Santa Ana setup, AccuWeather meteorologist Ryan Adamson explained.
Wind speeds across the region will gradually pick up throughout the day Saturday and reach troubling levels later Saturday evening. As is typical with a Santa Ana event, the strongest, most damaging gusts will largely be confined to the highest elevations across the mountains and respective downwind areas of Southern California.
